No I didn't. Its currently running 6.0. My problem now is with the battery. Even if i am charging it with my car charger, it drains down while charging and goes off at 30%.

The normal distance for that trip is meant to be lesser than 37km cos according to the screenshot below, the map went through lekki express instead of link brigde, therefore adding about 1-2km. According to his screenshot, the possible stops(sakamaje) happened in ikoyi. Does it mean that the stops in ikoyi added more than 20km to the trip which is questionable. Or maybe they roaming around in circles .
The guy is not clean jare.

One thing almost every "uber don cast" driver here doesn't realize or failed to acknowledge is uber was not designed for rental. Once you accept this fact, a major psychological barrier is lifted and clarity may be gained.
Acceptance is key for both driver and landlord here. Uber has a model that it operates globally and that is- drive your car at your own pace to make extra cash.
We in Nigeria found a way to build a model (Rental) around this model. Here uber has no hand, that's why uber doesn't directly provide drivers or vehicles.
The uber is slavery conversation can therefore only be effective at driver/owner level. That's why people who drive their own vehicles aren't crying so much as rental drivers and landlords. Uber is like airbnb
Gazzuz and the fence crew are on the fence because of the inefficiencies that arise via the third party (drivers). If Gazzuz or dru23 drove their cars themselves, they'll spend much less on maintenance and generally enjoy higher profitability.
Personally, I don't see how 35k is so hard, its grossing 15k daily after commission. 5k for fuel, 5k for landlord, 5k for me. A mistake I think we make is wanting to remove all our expenses, including personals, from our earnings before arriving at a net income. Anything outside of fuel and recharge card for data and calls cannot be classed under operating expenses. Suppose you earn a salary of 100k after taxes and contributions i.e. pension/him etc that is your NET. Not after house rent, feeding, fees etc, all that will come out of that 100k as living expenses. How you manage it will determine how far it'll take you. But we want to remove fuel, rent, commission, dstv, Netflix and then bank 40k as net for the week... Naaa.
Finally, we need to understand and respect each other. What I put in is different from what others might. I looked at Jesusson2020 hours online and number of trips and juxtaposed with mine... I did 42 hours 33 trips against his 72 hours. Numbers don't lie. Now if he's paying his rent consistently and owner services and maintains car appropriately it'll take some time for any major car trouble to come up. Saying his engine will soon knock is plain evil.
Also, we must understand that e-hailing does not begin and end on nairaland. There's only a fraction of drivers/landlords/riders on this thread so lets stop sounding like this is the e-hailing national assembly where all matters are decided. Plenty people no know or send una here. I went to Denis at Akoka to fix my a.c. some months ago, I got to know of him on nl but the guy no even know of nairaland. Lets just chill Abeg.
There's an entitlement mentality drivers here have which I think needs to stop. Let's not confuse it with having high self esteem. If anything, I smacks of an insecure and fragile personality. Drivers need to earn what's desired and not Command it, you have to be at a certain level in live to be able to command things of others. Someone here said taxify has more drivers than uber therefore it'll ruin uber if they continue to lose drivers and I'm wondering if its drivers that are requesting rides or riders.
Lets think in perspective, but most of all let's live and let live. I must not see the world through your eyes.

It's Mobil at VI. The one beside Bonny cantonment. You guys won't believe it, the guy that sold it for me is the second in command after the manager, but the manager isn't around (could be a lie).

I asked first security where the manager is, he said that he has gone to the bank and would return soon. I asked second security and he said that the manager has gone to Apapa. Na there I know say something dey Cook.
But as the guy see say I don dey everywhere, he just jejely ask me to bring car and added more fuel.

4k fuel no pass quarter tank for their station
