Hello guys good morning , pleas read this and advice me.......

i posted sometime ago that i was looking for apartment in lagos ,you guys really helped and that settled it..i appreciate the effort here

so i was on buying a car ....someone i don't know called me from here that he works with Road safety,and he can help me process my drivers license, we agreed on 40k, i sent the money to him so from there we started talking ....when i bought my car ,i needed change of ownership and new pappers for the car to be clean on the road , he requested for 45k and i just paid him that too....... but since then is over a month now ,is from one story to another ,because i am not in lagos and i don't want to waste my money coming to lagos and it will be that the things are not ready ...i asked about the documents and the new plate number ,he told me they are ready, i asked him to snap them pictures and send to me so i can be sure the whole thing is ready, since then is from one story to another........i want you guys to reason with me on this ,what could be going on, is it a Scam?

So you finally fell for them. Why didn't you seek advise here or verify the person Monika before starting sending money to him/her. Sorry Bro, only the FBI/CID/CIA members can help you.

You say watin? Waist pain ke? How about your back? Muscle pull nko

BAZ001 abeg come see another prove ooh pls call your ogas in the ant league to come see one of their members he's having waist pain. Tell dem to come with aboniki bam o... I thought drivers in that cult (revolution) don't fall sick or encounter any health or environment hazards or was it because I failed to mention the common health related issues drivers face in my post?

Oh! I see another common sense hint in this post... Chasing surge anywhere it goes yet the ant king claims he spends 3k per day grossing 45k my belle oooh...lwkmho! I said it only time shall tell. Small small we will get all those secret cult hints the diabolic cheerfulgiver thinks he's using to gross 45-60k per day. No wonder he's so afraid to share them publicly because he's scared like the coward that he's due to backslash, scrutiny and hard tackles

Me I no dey fear anything or anybody but i respect those who respect is due and who reciprocate it, I share my experience without any fear of being lashed, abused or attacked... Na me be talkanddo oga.

na so one dapo and crv who call themselves educated fellow and pearl1910 who claims to have years of experience on ehailing Just because he wants to get more songs of praise from baby husband aka uncle gbagada so more free money will be transferred to his account to circulate among themselves, the ant king cheerfulgiver who will later send the money back behind closed doors but forget to remember the days he eats late after returning late from work due to late night hustles and heavy traffic, yet he and others are here asking dumbed and brainless questions. crv the English master went further to say the only thing we have is senseless answers;, ok! if we have only senseless answers, how come the word "question"? Would it have exit without the word "answer"? Educated fools!

Do you all need to be a doctor to know that late night food can lead to constipation/indigestion which can further cause belle fat and hemorrhoid? This is one reason this dieses is common mostly among men than women. Yet somebody is trying to educate you people so you know how to prevent it if it hasn't happened to you and you're there asking stupid and senseless questions. Nonsense! No I'm HIV+ Idiots!

We are here. Na here we dey dey watch from HD make una dey display and parade una "mumuishness" and "goatishness".

Ok. Whatever you say, you're right.

Welcome to the club lol

CheerfulGiver:
As a newbie, I had no serious challenges except friends. Friends distracted me. Had to cut them off. Then I had to find a way to stop being so sleepy by 10pm, till I realized eating dinner late caused that for me. Dashboard isn't deceptive because it's my dashboard and what's there is my truth. I can't twist my truth to suit what you think the truth should be or twist my truth to make you feel better. It is what it is. I guess I was created special. Divine intelligence.

everything I know I've passed down to the 21 guys in my telegram group. They were the ones that responded when I asked people struggling to mail me. So you can't say I haven't played a part. These guys beat my daily records many times. Some. Not all. None makes below 100k a week now.

Driving is easy for me, uber driving is easier. You don't have to believe me but driving is a hobby and a passion. Been driving since I was 14 in SS1. Over ** years now. No one thought me how to drive. Things I do now are second nature to me.

These are my truths. You don't have to believe them, you can't change them. It's me and I'm it. I really don't have to explain myself to anyone. What I post is for motivational purposes only. People who counter me do so only with mouth. Nothing to show for it. They criticize my methods, but present no better alternatives, neither can they argue logically and with facts, so they resort to being negative to themselves hoping that their negativity will overshadow my positivity. Hasn't worked out for them either

The one that thought fraud was the way, advising how to cancel trips inside surge, how market? Now that surge is gone, Guy is confused as fuck_ His fraud strategy is dead in the water.

My car hmm. It amazes you how it doesn't break down, and how it's on the road daily? Simple. I do preventive maintenance. A stitch in time prevents downtime. I hate downtime. I once took a defensive driving course online. It helps me not scratch my car either from a fault of mine, or the next driver. I anticipate what the drivers around me are about to do and I protect my car accordingly.

With the body covered, now the mechanical part. A new car makes no sound, so whatever sounds I hear from my own car is foreign and I tend to it as soon as possible. I know every part of a car and I know whatever part that is wrong with my car so I call my mechanic in advance to buy it and anticipate my arrival. On days I visit the mechanic, I start working before 5. By 11 am I'm at his place and I've made half or almost half of my daily target. I leave there after 7 hours with a fixed up car and I have 6 hrs to complete my daily target. I take naps while there so I'm never really tired.

My diet consists of more protein than less. Then water. Plenty water. It lubricates the eyes. My eyes. Sugary drinks makes me tired, so I try to avoid. Water is better. I always try to combine 2 activities together. Eating + car is being washed, napping while car is being washed, napping while car is being fixed, napping while waiting for destination trips, etc. I'm always a happy fellow and I follow the golden rule.

These are some of my truths. It's not conventional but it works for me. Uber is easy for me, and will always be easy. Nothing will change that truth for me... Nothing.

This is what I think this thread was created for and it will do us and those Intending driver partners well if we are doing it.

Thanks for sharing part of your secrets here without prerequisites
We are all doing well. But bro, why do you think we won't believe you? Some of us will grab and some will trash so you don't need to boarder yourself. Mind you, you can't win it all at all times

Pearl1910:
What are you saying Feli Feli...
I have never heard or experienced any of these things you mentioned here.
Reason why I asked if u r exaggerating or joking. All u need to do is make this claims factually.

Someone mentioned here that he fell down wen he stepped out of his car...if u don't eat and u r working any work at all for hours u will faint. It's not peculiar to driving alone.
All I want to hear are sicknesses/ailments that are caused directly as a result of one driving. I am interested in this. Back and waist pain i know because u sitting down. Not as if people don't sit down in their offices. but poor eye sight, pile, pot belly abeg I want to know more.

Heard something strange today from someone I carried. Maybe some of us here would have heard about it.

So the rider told me he booked a ride from the airport to his hotel. On arrival, he was informed that the hotel was fully booked so he quickly brought out his phone to call the bolt driver that brought him to take him to another hotel. The hotel receptionists told him that may not be necessary because they have cab guys who hang around the hotel.

They called one for him who uses a Sienna and the guy took him to another hotel.

On arrival, he paid him and went inside the hotel. While he was processing his booking, they heard a loud scream and by the time they rushed out, they found the guy infront of his vehicle pushed against the wall by his vehicle. He died instantly

It appears the guy wanted to open the bonnet to check something and for some strange reasons, the vehicle moved at a speed high enough to kill him.

Now to the strange part. When they opened the vehicle, the gear was on park though the engine was running.

How the vehicle managed to move with so much power as to kill him while the gear was in P remains a mystery.

That's the issue boss...I can net that 200k in a month without doing basically anything. The Uber stuff is profitable, lets not deceive ourselves with plenty long talks.

I wanted to do a feasibility study for one week..which is more profitable btw Uber n my usual hustle. But for the stress Uber is offering to my car and myself while offering the same net figure I usually get on a not so bad month, I would rather stick to my hustle which takes nothing but little effort, right connect, and God's grace but keeps my car n human body in good shape.

I resign again on Sunday 11pm, To work only Friday Night, Saturday & Sunday from Next month - December.

This is another post the Intending uberbolt driver should consider. We should be sharing real time experience not mocking/downgrading!/insulting/lookingdown/legshooting etc ourselves.
God bless our hustles

FuckEveryday:
Hours spent for both Yesterday Nd Today plus total earnings for both Days.

You are doing well bro but note that the same strategy that gave you #17k in 6hrs have not yielded 13k even after 7hrs. You spent time in luth does not mean you are offline. You were definitely looking for trip unless if one of the strategies is to move away once there is no request in a particular place/area after a certain number of minutes/hrs.
Nobody will say this hustle does not worth it. But as somebody I dropped now just said that, "is the situation of this country that will make an undergraduate to be thinking of becoming Uber driver after graduation".
Sir, the button line is, not by our power or might but His grace. Let's just continue with whatever that is working for us. Whosoever that want to join the hustle is welcome. Soldiers go, soldiers come, barrack still remain.

Pearl1910:
Reason why I asked if it happened to him or he heard other people's experience...not that I doubt I just need this to be verified. If u have any experience, u can share for enlightenment sake.
Look, what we do hear is learn, through hearing others experience or sharing facts. Reason I open this thread daily is because I want to learn, I don't want to learn by my own personal experience and I don't claim to know it all.

Not everybody will like to share his/her health status on forum like this. They won't want you guys to use it against them in the nearest future.

Gentlelife50:
He's actually right, that it didn't happen to you doesn't mean it's not happening.
If I tell you my own you will say it's a lie, so no point.

That's why I said Feli post caught my attention Bro

Pearl1910:
Na u wan start argument now o.
Did u see what I put in bolded to show what I am concerned about? Pile, bad eyesight, pot belly
Let's quit exaggerating, when we r joking we can joke but not when giving serious advise.

Sir, at the bolded, I do pass sight test everytime I go to my sister's office but I don't need anybody to tell me now that I won't pass the test as it is bow

Gentlelife50:
Bros why u dey talk anyhow naa?
Just arguing for arguments sake?
Just to prove all other jobs are tough except Uber right?
Oya swear say u never see drivers that have lost their lives or couldn't continue on health ground?
Haba, u can do better.

A friend of mine told me he almost fall down when he got out of his car one day that he just gently rest on the burnet of the car and sat on the floor for some minutes before he regained his strength. He said his legs were shaking vigorously. Myself, I like driving early in the morning and night and I discovered my sight is seriously affected by the ray of light faced during this time of the day. I pursue free medical one month like that and I won it with Total fuel card 45k. The free medical after 300trips can not solve the eye problem for me as they said I entitled to only 10k for eye clinics. The worse part of it was that my account was blocked same month up till now. Since then I gave myself sense regarding pursuing bonuses and free monthly health care when I realized uberbolt don't care. Though some people were extraordinarily created by God but not all of us.

pope191:
For where? It still beats my imagination up till today, tho I have always dream of having my own transport company which was what gave birth to here. Give a car to a driver, he mess up, menh! Let my taste the water, still tasting the water till now

Meaning you are still pursuing your dream which is the main point of sisiRad.
You found fulfillment in what you are doing

Dailyparrot:
Well written but this is for someone who has interest in taking up a paid job. Some of us are not cut out for it and don't care whether we have experience, skilled, fresh or not.

In conclusion, these companies want to exploit your youthfulness to their advantage.

The end product is money whether from paid job or street hustle unless someone interested in building a career in a particular field.

Sir, the right up above is for those who have dreams and believe they can achieve it not for those who don't care about their dreams, aspirations and skills. For that guy to have worth #2M as undergraduate means he has something special in him and can do better in life than thinking of becoming uber driver immediately after graduation.
Wetin a small boy like me even know. Abeg where is my phone weekend don enter and I never meet targets

Dailyparrot:
To be sincere, Ehailing is like every other means of making money legitimately. I don't see why a recent graduate should wait until the labour market has worn out his shoes before venturing into it.

This mistake of "I am a fresh graduate" is the reason some graduates remain private school teachers five years after graduation.

A goat that will be a male starts from the mother's womb says an Igbo adage.

I made a comment on a post some time ago to a guy who claimed that his brother is putting pressure on him to get a job simply because he lives with them.

I told the guy that if he spent one year before service, one year during service making it two years and still went back to live with his brother, then his brother should be worried because he might as well remain unemployed for the next five years.

Thinking Ehailing as a fresh graduate is a step in the right direction. It means you are thinking of the worst case scenario, what you will do. That does not mean that when a good opportunity presents, you will reject it in favor of Ehailing.

Nigeria is not getting better and there's no good job anywhere except you have the strong connection. So, accepting the reality and refusing to live in delusion is the only way to be ahead of your mates.


Modified

Here’s the link to the thread https://www.nairaland.com/6676055/how-handle-maltreating-brother#104271142

I'm sure this guy will definitely quit Ehailing because riders are jealous or insulting his fine looks.

Why would I think of worse scenario when my mate are aiming higher?

Have you forgotten what some people said right on this thread about aiming low?

Is like you are advising him to join lazy drivers or use their advise as yardstick when you have the like of current GOAT.

FuckEveryday:

There's actually a strategy o. But it basically has to do with common sense according to Cheerfulgiver.
For example see my earnings for today from that time of my first trip till 2:07pm I closed even without the surge. I just woke up from sleep now sef and I think I tried

I'm about driving to buy SupetApeti make I fit chop well cus in this hustle, no Mata how u say I must eat by so so time, when you hold steering you're likely to join the Gala and Big Cola gang. I no fit lose small fat wey I don gada jare

Thanks for the Nuggets bro @ Cheerfulgiver �

Kindly display the number of hours spent to realize this please. I don't mean weekly or monthly total ó, just that particular day. Thank you.

Felicity0001:
Well, its a good thing you're already thinking and mapping out plans on what to do with your life after graduation and its also applauding you're already an undergraduate enterprenuer, i must say I fancy your courage, enthusiasm and mentality especially in this country Nigeria where there're limited opportunities.

To be honest it not easy getting a job after school even if you're lucky to have one most of them the pay is nothing to write home about, parents are dying in silent after spending their youthful life and money training their children only for them to graduate without a reasonable job... It very sad. Many graduates and undergraduates because of that have resorted to go into internet scam and other unthinkingable and unimaginable crimes like kidnapping, car hijacking among others. A few that were lucky get laid off may be after a few months due to bad government policies, contract jobs, companies folding up and the likes. This and Many more reasons are why most of us are found doing the uber driving job not that we enjoy it, no! But we have to make ends meet and then hope that things gets better with the state of the country for our children growing up even if not for us again because our own parents didn't suffer all of these we are currently being faced.

Yes of a truth you'll make money driving with uber/bolt but another truth is you'll have to put in several hours of your time driving morning till mid night, 5-6days and most time 7days a week. You'll be expose to both good and toxic humans, many will be ungodly while few will be pleasant, among all of these things you'll try to be calm for the sake of your account getting blocked because you wouldn't want to loose your source of earning. Even with the hundreds of thousands you pay as commission to uber/bolt you're still at their mercy because they have thousands of drivers paying even higher commission than you to them. You'll loose interest trying to apply for jobs because you'll have the thinking, how much can an employer pay you? After all I'm grossing 980k monthly driving. You'll loose weight, you won't have time to hang out with friends and family neither would you want to go on holidays because the surge are tempting so you want to be online at all time. You'll start having sight problem after some time because of flashes of light and your eyes being focus all the time...you'll start feeling your legs shake while walking or sitting down due to long hours driving, some will start having pot belle due to late night eat so constipation is inevitable, many will develope hemorrhoid popularly known as pile, late night eating, indigestion and long hours sitting down to drive can cause this this problem... The unfortunate drivers get robbed, get involve in an accident some their cars taken away and sadly a few once lost their lives to either sickness, accident or to car hijackers, never to be found again unless with God's intervention. Yes something must kill a man but people die in their sleep in their old age so why would a man die while on duty or to diagnosed sickness? Sad!

So my dear friend(s)[newbies] these are most of the truths celebrity driver aka cheerfulgiver and many others with little or no knowledge about the hustle won't tell you, know it now b4 making that decision to join the hustle.

Me i go speak my mind, I stand with and not just by the truth. I will die for it! I've lost a lot for this same truth oh but I've gain more than I've lost.

So like I initially advised "the bolt/uber shop is another man's idea" you are already an entrepreneur so think something bigger so you can stand among CEOs and not among celebrity drivers with unrealistic dashboards.

A word is enough for the wise.

Felifeli, remember I said I won't take your post serious again? On this one, you got me and I would advise the Intending ones to weigh this advise before taking final decision. No one can gross 980k as a part time driverpartner. It requires extra/over time. Take it or leave it. Make ago check where surge dey jàre before them park everything finish

GeneralZodd:
You know your worth, come get balls at the same time, unlike other drivers.

Meanwhile Oga cheerful is busy packing all the money in Lagos State.

No more surge, no time to read or reply all posts. To net 900k, someone need time online not on nairaland. Abeg make ago on Mai app money must be made

CheerfulGiver:
I can only answer for myself, yes. If I don't do 900, I'll manage 800 - 870.

That's great

kanuisagoat:
No, I was actually referring to a brand new everyday corolla which is the subject of the discussion but as you said, it's not even possible to get it so that takes it out of the equation.

The summary of my point is this

05 Tokunbo corolla vs 2020 IVM my choice will be the Corolla
2020 corolla vs 2020 IVM my choice is definitely the IVM

Please note that this only applies to ehailing. For personal use, my choices will be totally different.

Na so. In fact the comparison is even 06 Corolla to 2020 IVM on uberbolt. I don't know why them come dey change topic.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]A Brand new Scania luxury bus is nearing 200 million naira now.

The Chinese knockoffs is about less than half the price of the former.

If both are used to carry the same passengers and collect the same fare, by the time the Scania hits 95 million, the China would also hit the same amount to buy another China.

By the time the Scania would hit the next 95 million, the China would have made the money for the Third one

So in the end of the 200 million generated from both brands, One has yielded two more, while the other one just yielded one.

If you really can't see the point with this example, I really don't know what else to type

[/color]

You ogas are taking it to another dimension. If we focus on uberbolt alone, Toks06 Corolla is far better and profitable than the innoson.

CheerfulGiver:
...with a goal in mind. Will never drive forever.

That's the koko

CheerfulGiver:
Surge has disappeared from bolt. Now let's see all those making free money since.

Strategy activated.

If I may ask Sir, can someone still net #900k with the strategy as it is now?

Surge or no surge, target must be made. Only that surge reduced time I normally spend online.

I only wonder how those who have been living beyond their normal income/capability and those that collect rental for 40k because of surgedashboard will continue.

Extra time acrivated

[color=royalblue] You just fried yourself with your own points

Chevrolet Aveo is not a Chinese product. Chevrolet is American, made by GM motors. Why it was falling apart is what I don't know.

Secondly, GIG could have moved for Toyota Hiace Tokunboh buses (E full Ejigbo). E full Dubai. But no, they are going for locally assembled China buses in Nigeria. Only few transporters are fully Toyota. ABC even has its own assembly plant for its China luxurious buses. There is a reason it's that way.

And I don't know why you keep skipping the point.

Nobody is arguing with you about which is stronger. The Corolla is stronger than anything Innoson would assemble in its category, but economic wise, the Chinese are ever better.

I know a Haulage company. It's like the largest in Nigeria. They started with Tokunboh Volvo trucks from America. Today, they have filled their fleet with HOWO and FAW trucks. You think they don't know Volvo is stronger?

I sell parts for trailers, and 99% would prefer the Chinese knockoffs to their original ones (even when it's available)

I pray you grow bigger to run a transportation fleet. You will understand the fact more clearer.

I rest my case[/color]

What I have to say is this,
When we are talking about transport business, we should not compare uberboltindrive with other ones especially in this Lagos. What vehicles pass through in uberboltindrive can not be compare to those interstate vehicles. The Chinese vehicles may perform better on interstate but on uberbolt they won't pass the test of time.
And as for what CheerfulGiver said the he would make #10M in 18mnths from the Chinese product. What if another person made the same amount with the 06 Corolla? Who will get more profits at the end of the 18months?
Me ano be businessman ó but it is common sense. Anyway wetin a small boy like me even know?
