I have been a driver and i am still a driver.... If drivers aren't happy, you can't be happy. Happy drivers work more.

Drivers are the most vital part of this business. That you are making profit at all depends on the driver. That you are making plans of investing depends on drivers. If you doubt it, buy a brand new car and let it drive itself and let's see how far...

I am a driver managing drivers.

jarkbauer:
Lovely spirit. Higher higher may you go

Amen...

jarkbauer:
Ogunvic4 and Romeo3 how market?

Never been better.

Entparrot came and gone. We still dey. No shaking. You can't argue with facts and track record.

50k weekly is 50k weekly. T and C' s apply.

MobilityExpress:
Just curious - why do partners run only sedans on Uber; are SUVs not allowed?

Or better yet, how feasible on Uber is a V6 SUV with a 20mpg combined?

not feasible. lagos fuel burns too fast. you can't attain 20 mpg combined

ndizzle:
is neat 2003 car good?

Depends on the make and model

ndizzle:
please guys, what is the present minimum car model year requirement on uber that u know of?

2000...

Not recommended though.

AngelicBeing:
Hahaha, Una go kill person with laugh for Nairaland.com, I agree with you, forget about Engrish or English, French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese or Arabic, roll your sleeves, get to work and make the quid, money talks and bulshit works

Simple.

ogunvic41:
Nice ride sir, I love solo driving...

We moving lagos...

cross8701:
Yet you write eloquently...Go wonder

Writing eloquently is an advantage, and not a requirement. There are successful people who cannot speak, or write English.

Fluency in English has never, and should never be used as a yardstick to measure intelligence.

Abuja tonight... Lagos tomorrow.

Solo Lion.

Wetin concern English with uber? Oga, you are on the wrong thread.

It's all about lions....

Emekayoung:
Wat if one is to drive his own car. Do I skip the partner details?

You won't sign up as a driver in the first place

jarkbauer:
I do not think what I said warrants this

Guy why did you attack me.
Do I know you before.


No problems I can see that you an agbero who is ready to pick fight with anybody. I am not the type who will pick fight with you.

You should keep shouting for people to buy Peugeot or go to any carmart to stop anybody who wants to buy corolla for Uber.

Better still You can tell copart to stop auctioning cars for potential uber partners

If you are not satisfied with these you can go channels TV or you can carry placard announcing to the whole world that Peugeot is better than corollas.

And if people continue to buy corollas for Uber you can hug the transformer around your house or just speed into any army barracks in sight.

Conclusion
You and Ogunvic4 are mannerless and highly narrow minded mofos. I can never buy Peugeot for Uber... come and beat me


Stop shouting on this forum like a madman

Who cares what you buy? Your choice is totally inconsequential to me. Did I draw a gun to your head to buy a Peugeot? Who cares? Have I ever quoted you before asking you to buy anything?

I don't care if you call me mannerless. Moves me not.

jarkbauer:
Ogunvic4 and Romoe3 pls stop trying convince people to buy Peugeot. You've explained yourselves enough for discerning minds to choose.
No need trying to argue with those who prefer corollas.
My manager can never buy Peugeot again on his life.
My wife can never buy a Toyota.
Both based on experience

I think we should bury this debate here.

Who made you a judge to decide when or not to bury any debate?

We are opening people's eyes on how to make money and you are saying what?

If you like, buy your car for 5 million or buy a 508 for 18 million like someone was asking me without thinking or buy an electric vehicle for 11 million, no uber driver will give you more than 40k a week.

let that sink in slowly.

onlinetrade:
Thanks for this great statement. I had been wondering why they chose Peugeot 406 & 407. In many other countries, better vehicles are used. I presume "ITS TO ENRICH THEIR POCKETS". Makes me wonder if the automobile sector is actually moving forward or backwards (a time when many other nations are implementing Electric Vehicle Policies)...

Can you buy and maintain an electric vehicle in Nigeria?

claremont:
One striking thing I have observed on here is that Nigeria seems to be the only Uber market where certain people believe that only deadbeat ugly-looking peugeot cars can survive. I have visited Kenya and Uganda several times, and 90% of the cars used over there for uber are decent-looking Toyota corollas. It seems there is such an obsessive push on here for people to dump their decent cars in favour of decaying peugeots on the premise that ''they are the best for Nigerian roads''. I have heard someone 'advice' a car owner to sell his decent looking car in favour of an ugly scrap peugeot. I don't think this is right.

I'm not even comparing Nigeria with other western countries, we are comparing it with fellow African countries. Plus, just because someone has been driving on Uber for a while simply doesn't give that person any sense of entitlement over a newbie. Uber doesn't need any experience, you simply start the app and drive the number of hours you feel obliged to. At the end of the week, you are paid in line with whatever bonus offers are available. The location you need to be is already highlighted on the app itself by its 'boost' feature, there is no rocket science about it.

I have been a silent reader on this page for a while and have been carefully observing the antics of some people, but let me just stop here. I think we should give kudos to Uber for taking a lot of people out of unemployment, these are the same people speaking with a false sense of entitlement just because they have managed to taste a few pennies in Naira. Drivers should consider themselves lucky to be in Nigeria where car owners give them there cars without an initial deposit, in most other countries, you pay a fixed weekly fee UPFRONT to lease the car.

I shall reply you in detail and with facts when i get to lagos. Expect my reply.

Drivers must listen to me this year. Your situatuon must change. Before you accept any Car, i want you to show me the interior and exterior of that car. Call me for inspection and if I have time I will follow you to check that car.... You must drive a car that will help you save money this year. Bye bye to nonsense. Owners did not spring up over night. I was once a driver but I am now an owner.

Dem no swear for you so your situation must change. Don't just be lazy... That's all.

Say no to stupid cars that will reduce your rating and make uber block you. Say no to dead cars that will make you spend your savings fixing it. If they say you should pay deposit, no problem. Give them the deposit, but they must sign an agreement to be responsible for the servicing of the car... It's better you remain hungry than fall into the hand of a greedy owner.

I have done all. I am here to advise you.

Richdee1:
Hahaha...Savage!!!. Give thanks indeed....Romeo the Only clown on this Thread...
The Partner will be like Hun!! Lolzz....
1st Post of the Year

The guy doesn't understand what God has saved him from. If God doesn't want something for you and you foolishly push ahead, he is gonna frustrate your plans. God is fighting for him but he doesn't know.

Carshopper:
For peace to reign ... upfront is optional ...depending how I feel that day.

You sir, are the most diplomatic person on this thread.

Always listening to both sides of the fence, always supporting both sides of the fence, but always standing on the fence like glue.

Always surprising both sides of the fence. Baba NLA.

JayRise:
Reason?

First off, you are a new driver on uber and taxify. As a new driver, saying you can deliver 25k weekly is actually different from delivering 25k weekly. You haven't learnt the ropes yet.

Second, HP is slavery. Unless you have alternative ways of making payment.

If i were You, i would keep that 300k somewhere safe, get a rental for 35 to 40k weekly. If you can consistently pay your rental you will be fine. If you still decide to go with the HP, then atleast you will know that a bit of consistency is assured, and you would have simultaneously learnt the ropes.

But Then, i am not you.

ogunvic41:
LION 1 arrived Lagos... Kaduna to Lagos... Tnx bro...

I will be driving lion 3.
Romeo3 driving lion3

Fueling up.

alstarmayo:
it will bring unwanted attention to the thief

In Odukoya estate egbeda, they went ahead to remove the brain box of 8 corolla cars despite alarm because they were armed. welding is the only solution so far.

Useless corolla.

Haderbayor123:
Very funny Yes I came to ur house to inspect your HP car and ur deal and terms are fair enough apart from the one you said u don't want ur car to be doing inter-state until the driver finish the payments, which I accepted that with you and I also explained to you politely that I may want to use the car to take my family to sagamu(my home town) whenever they are going on holiday and you said that's not an issue that you can always open the geo-fence for that. How on earth will I agreed to get a car deal of 3.5m and I can't use it to convey my family. Who does that?

So, tell me what I said that you don't like and you can't tell me to my face immediately. Must I say YES to all your terms and the one I know I can't keep up to. That's why there's always a room for negotiation before a deal is strike but no, you all want drivers to say YES to all ur terms without considering the driver and later you'll come here to sing ALL DRIVERS ARE BAD.....SMH

Be happy that God saved you from the slavery of HP. Nothing else matters.... Give thanks.

Thank God

JABB:
can it trigger alarm just in case one is trying to gain access into the car to pull out something?

Who told you alarm will wake you up?

dejidotun2000:
