When you open the uber app and click on set destination, leave it open for 5 seconds, close it quickly. Shut down app and restart phone. open uber app again, click on set destination, press the "sym" key and type XAXBCZCZAAXA

thank me later

I need a pair of any same product. 215/55R16. and how much if available?

Was i lucky not to have gotten to lekki axis today. Farthest was adeniji Adele and back to the mainland till 10pm. I heard traffic was mad...

Is it everybody that can buy an iPhone or samsung...the Android version is the main thing here...y 6.0 marshmallow is OK

you can buy Huawei too, or nice ZTE too.

Dont just look for for the android version only....check it's efficiency, performance. Forget big battery...
Look if the phone has these :

1.Compass (when you take your sharp turns/bends it keeps you on the the provided route, not when you make a turn its starts re-routing and sometimes lost the GPS and helps you begin your navigation by not moving to the wrong/opposite direction when you start)

2.GPS [American navigation] (preferably A-GPS, A stands for assisted), GLONASS(Russian navigation) , BDS(Chinese navigation)

3. 2 gb ram. (i prefer 3gb ram, multi task smoothly with uber, taxify and google map apps with other apps on)

4.Chipset, MTK chipset is common around but they have different grades, i used Hisilicon kirin on Huawei, now Exynos on samsung. But snapdragon is great too. For tecno, infinix mostly they have MTK, but make sure its a high grade one.

5. 4G LTE enabled... 3G is fast but 4G is faster, (not glo network o.)

Would break these down later... Or just google up and read.
If your car is ok, your phone is your number one tool in this business.. Cheers

Most infinix phone don't have OTA update... Go for iPhone, Samsung or Huawei

Fuel consumption THE GREATEST PROBLEM OF UBER/TAXIFY DRIVERS...

yes... First thing to consider...

Hope you calculated/deducted the uber/taxify commissions

bily:
It's not advisable for rentals... But if it's your personal car and you're driving yourself, it may just bitok.

Let's do a simple worst case scenario calculation.

Mpg values for that car city driving is 15mpg or about 6km/liter of fuel.

I remember Chief Gazzuz said a car does an average of 1500-2000km per weekly

Using the lower value of 1500, that will give us 250litres of fuel weekly

If we assume fuel is N180/litre that gives us N45,000 total cost on fuel

Now let's use N60/km to calculate income, @ 1500km that's N90,000 income... Remember we did not add any income that could come from minutes driven, we used just distance... We are looking at worst case scenario

If we subtract fuel expenses 90k-45k, we still have 45k left. He can decide to set aside 15k as weekly budget for maintenance.

So at the end of the week, he's left with 30k as take home which is not bad for a car owner.

This is just to show you that it's still workable for a car owner driving himself, but obviously it's not advisable as rentals

Off day today!

Bad oxygen sensors, map sensor, bad/blocked catalytic converters, dirty/bad injectors, bad spark plugs and others... EW12J4 should have 12l/100km, its 2.2l engine, Peugeot 2.2l is more economical than Toyota 2.2l

na wa, dont know about mine but if i load full tank around 7000 i make 38 to 40k. If i load 5000 i make 30 to 32k before seeing the warning sign, which i can still drive from like cms to okokomiako... Corolla sport 2005

Any PROFESSIONAL driver that cant drive Manual transmission is the lazy type... I dislike AUTO.

My anger right now can't be fully understood.

This guy called Ogunvic (Ogunleye Kayode) is the most foolishly proud, arrogant and irresponsible person I have ever met.

I'LL TRY TO EXPLAIN IN DETAILS


Towards the end of last year December I was fortunate to meet the Mech Specialist Mr Gazzuzz who sold me a faultless Tokunbo Toyota Corolla. After negotiations and all documents handed over I decided to meet Ogunvic and try out his over exaggerated Fleet Management.

We scheduled a couple of meetings and a few calls and in all he was very boastful about the system he runs and kept guaranteeing its 'foolproof'. Here's a summary of his terms and conditions:

Partner to handle all maintenance and mechanical faults.
Repairs to be handled by the insurance company will be treated "DULY".
FleetXpert agrees to "Notify" partner of any mechanical problems with the vehicle.
Partner provides "N30, 000 worth of Fuel + Total Card"
Partner to provide driver with
A Brand New Phone
Spectranet 4G Modem
Car Charger

In the event of unfortunate events Fleetexpert pays Partner 60% of whatever driver makes after fuel cost deduction "before the unfortunate event".

After he then added an eye sore that Partner to pay N20,000 Driver Registration Fee which was not included in the contract. I specifically told him that's not possible cuz I see no reason for such from the partner.

As at the time I had no cash on me for all he listed and I asked him to handle the 15k Spectranet, 30k fuel, 1k total card and getting fire extinguisher, car wash and floor carpets and car charger (estimated around 10k) totaling approximately 56k. I told him to deduct 20k off the weekly agreed till its fully paid off and he reluctantly agreed. I went ahead and got his specified phone.

Being concerned about my car and its usage plus stories I read here on Nairaland about car theft and vandalism since most drivers don't have gated parking space. I asked him to search for a driver living around the mainland (preferably any in and around Surulere, Akoka, Anthony, Maryland, Isolo) and for security I asked the car be parked in my office complex which was by the bus stop expressway so it's easy for the driver to come out and pick up. With this I can also keep an eye on the conditions of my car. This offer was obviously turned down. He gave his reasons so I agreed.

I further asked if whenever I needed to use the car for work delivery or outing the driver could assist with discounted payment for service rendered and he agreed.

All doubts crosschecked I made up my mind to entrust him with the car regardless. On Friday 5th of January I handed over the car. He agreed to get a driver and do all necessary arrangements for the car to begin work as soon as possible.

Next day I checked my tracker and saw series of movements between Magboro in ogun state, lekki, ilupeju and ikeja. I called him to ask if he got a driver and didn't let me know but he wasn't picking so I asked Mr reliable Gazzuzz and he explained to me that he lives in magboro, works around ilupeju and has an office in lekki. So I relaxed even with sadness about the car gaining so much miles and no money to show. Kayode later called and with a tone said he wasn't going to continue with me. I called back apologized and explained my concern and we resolved the matter. He said he'll try to get a driver soon.

On Monday 8th he informed me he got a driver (Emmanuel Offikwu) staying at Agege and he's concluding discussions. So with hope work will start. According to the driver he started work on Thursday even though tracker shows lekki movements Wednesday and overnight. I found out later from Driver that the day he collected the car he took it to a mechanic to fix the silencer cuz it was damaged by Ogunvic and he kept it from me (remember the agreement signed). Now I kept silent.

By Tuesday 16th I called Ogunvic Kayode and asked for an update on my pay. He said driver made around 57k and he would make calculations and give me a breakdown. I said ok and waited. 2 days later nothing sent. I called and he said busy and I should remember I owed him. I still said no problem let me just know the breakdown so I know whats left or not. But by weekend kayode still didn't send anything.

Now according to kayode, driver remits monday evenings, he makes calculations and sends money to partners on Tuesdays. So by Tuesday I was hopeful I'll get a call this time.

In the evening around 6pm, I got a call from the driver and the news was he had an accident. While reversing he bashed into another car at lekki. Matters escalated and the car was in the police station. I asked since when he said on Sunday 21st. I asked if kayode was informed he said yes, on Monday. He said he was trying to handle the matter quietly but since it'll involve the insurance company to fix he decided to call me. He also told me he made 80k+ and gave Kayode 60,000 and he bought 7k full tank and 4k extra in keg. After his call I called Kayode and without blaming him for not telling me as per the contract I asked what he was doing to resolve it. He said he would call the other car owner and negotiate for car to leave station for repairs. I said ok no problem. I immediately called the insurance company (Axa Mansard) and with no hesitation the very nice lady (Taiwo who I also got from Mr Reliable Gazzuzz) said no problems, I should provide pictures of both cars, police report and repair estimates and that in a few days it'll be done. I smiled and thanked God for insurance.

Next morning Wednesday around 10am I called Kayode to ask how far, he said he had stuffs to do and will find time later in the afternoon to see the third party and apologize and issue a post dated check and avoid the police. This is a matter already at the Police Station.

He said he just got to know on Tuesday and I told him I didn't care and all I wanted was the car out ASAP. (All this while I was speaking calmly and he's the type that when he's speaking he wants you to take his opinion but when you speak he'll keep interrupting and press his opinion whenever there's a problem.)

He said I was blaming him and he got angry and told me if I don't want to "LISTEN" to him I should go and get the car out myself. I ended the call.

For a car that's been at the police station going to 4 days Kayode still has stuffs to do and my car was not important enough.

I called the driver and asked for the third party number. I called and he said we could meet at the station since he was close and that the police were even asking for the car owner to confirm insurance. I left my office immediately, went home to get all original papers and insurance certificate, I called the driver and asked him to join us so we resolved everything. I took an UBER and after 30mins on trip I called the driver only for him to tell me Kayode asked him not to come. I tried everything to explain to him the importance of him being there to witness any discussion but still he was adamant about coming.

Now my fire was burning very bad.


I got to the Lekki station where the car was and the police woman in charge told me the other guy had waited almost 2 hrs but left minutes before I arrived. The police further asked for the driver and I said he was on his way that we should start processing any thing.

She clearly refused and said all parties involved must be present to confirm who is who. So I was stuck. I tried to call the driver and after very many tries he didn't pick. The police also called and he didn't pick up. I called the third party and he said once the driver comes I should let him know and he'll return.

At this point I had to narrate this story to the police lady who asked for Kayode's number and called him. In my presence she asked kayode to come over so everything can be resolved amicably. Kayode bluntly refused and said whenever he has chance he'll come. According to the police lady she said Kayode was arrogant and rude and I noticed her say kayode should chill since she was the one calling with her own credit he had no right to shout at her or refuse her talking. Kayode kept saying if he's to come it'll be later in the evening that he was busy. The lady was shocked and said is he expecting the 2 car owners to wait all day till evening when he has chance.

She referred me to the case section and the DCO asked an officer to follow us to the Kayode's office there in Lekki. We got there in pretence as clients for the secretary and as expected Kayode wasn't there. I was told by the police to file a different case against him at the ilupeju station close to Kayode's usually location for defrauding. So I left.

On my way I called Mr Reliable Gazzuzz and narrated my situation he asked me to calm down and give him chance to speak to kayode.

Few minutes later Kayode called me and stupidly said the reason he asked the driver to wait was because driver didn't have transport fare and he was to send him money but was busy. That he'll send soon. I said no problem so I faced home. By the time I got home around 5pm the driver called and was apologizing that he didn't have cash and also went to the hospital for treatment and that's why he didn't pick. I said no problem, call the other party and schedule a meeting time and inform me so we all settle the matter.

Next day Thursday I called the driver and he said the other guy agreed to Friday.

Friday morning around 9am I called the driver and he said he was on his way to the station and the other guy said to meet by 11am. I quickly got dressed and called Kayode and he said the driver told him the night before and he'll be leaving home soon that he'll pick me up at my office so we can go together. I told him driver was on his way there so I'll wait. By 10:30, kayode said he's almost at my place. I called the driver and to my surprise he said Kayode asked him to wait at his ilupeju location so we could all go together.

11am I called Kayode and he said he's close. Called driver and he said no sign of kayode. I called the other guy and acted like I didn't know there was a fixed time. He said he was at the station and waiting for the driver who he agreed to meet. So to buy time I said I was coming and he should please wait.

11:30am no sign of kayode so I called an UBER and left. I called the driver and told him to inform kayode I will go ahead amd they should meet me there. Getting close to the station I called Kayode and he said he had to handle certain things but will be leaving soon. When I got to the station I met the Gentleman waiting in the heat. He obviously wasn't happy and asked for the driver. I said they were coming. After a few minutes I called Kayode and he said they were coming, further said he didn't want anything to do with police and I said not a problem. We can speak with the guy outside and the driver and I can go in resolve the issue and be gone. For him coming is just to assist the driver incase he needs to pay money to the police or make negotiations or stand as his guarantor.

After 1 hour no sign of kayode nor the driver and the other guy vexing and me consoling. Driver stopped picking his calls.

I decided to plead with the police and ask if anything else can be done, I wrote a statement and she sent to the DPO. The DPO gave the condition that I first fix the other guys car and mine remains till its done.

Till now, kayode hasn't called, driver hasn't called.

This is someone who claims to run a Fleet Management Company. No regard for Partner, No remorse whatsoever.

My car still seats at the Police Station pending the quote from the other guy who says his car was bought brand new and as it's still under warranty can't give it to any mechanic except the car manufacturer. Who he says will get repair quote out by Monday.

That's the current situation and he's here still advertising for more cars to collect and damage while ripping off partners and favoring drivers.

Note I have call records on the Wednesday and yesterday Friday between kayode and I. I have tried attaching but doesn't seem to load.

GAZZUZZ:
its the most sensitive car on the fleet

Alternator failure is what caused this.

Peugeot 407 have a minimum threshold of 11.9v, you cannot even managed car for 30mins if alternator fails.

It was back on the road next morning.

I still condemn peugeot cars.

thank you

Let me start by saying thank you all for your support so far.
However, my name is Henry Nnaemeka and I’m neither a Rapist nor a Kidnapper. This is my Story.
I’m a taxify driver/ partner, on Thursday the 25th of January 2018 between the hours of 12midnight and 1am I was on my way home from work when I received a taxify rider request from a Ibarhim Eletu Way Which was coincidentally where I was at that time and also same estate I stay, I decided to take that last trip before I go home to rest.
On getting to the pick-up location To pick up the rider (Miss Shola Fapson) she got In my vehicle and just as I started the trip I noticed there wasn’t a destination for the trip so I politely asked her for the destination to know where I’m going to and if it will be convenient for me at that time of the night but she refused to tell me and instead asked me to drive out that she will tell me later, I politely refused and asked severally for the destination but she wouldn’t tell me rather she ordered me in a harsh tone to “Move this car”! On hearing this, I was surprised why she would hold back her destination from me and also ordered me to move the car. It was at this point I told her I wasn’t going anymore, I ended the trip immediately and asked her to come down from the car since we were still at the pick-up location but to my Greatest surprise she refused to come down and then started making some phone calls in Yoruba Language to some people whom I didn’t know disclosing our location to them. At this point, I got scared and was trying to be on the safe side so I drove the car to the front where the estate had a security light which was a few seconds from the pickup location. On getting to the safe place, I came down from the car and politely opened the door and gently asked her to come down from the car. She blatantly refused again and started with her phone calls again.
It was at this point I overheard her conversation on the phone saying she has my car keys and gave out location again to the unknown person at the other end of the phone, I felt really threatened at this point because I couldn’t understand why she would take my car keys and then disclose our location to people I didn’t know. I had to struggle with her to get my car keys from her hands. It was in the process of struggling with her, she sprayed a chemical substance (pepper spray) in my eyes.
I succeeded in getting my keys from her but before I could struggle with my sight and call for help she took off and was nowhere to be found. Some concerned residents and my sisters who heard me shout and call for help came to my rescue. It took me about 45 mins to regain my sight clearly and was taken to my apartment to get some rest only for me to wake up this morning and receive loads of phone calls from friends and family saying I’ve been labelled a KIDNAPPER AND RAPIST. However, the issue has been reported to Taxify and the necessary steps have been taken as shown in their press release. I want to use this medium to thank you family and friends who stood with me in this bad time and also state that I respect women and I am totally against any form of abuse against women.
Thank you all.
#ISTANDFORJUSTICE

I believe you. Any late night trip, ask for destination before even going to the pick up location, if they refuse to tell, cancel immediately, it has saved me a lot of stress....

My device is infinix hot note 3 with android version 6.0 do I still need to change it ?
May be black berry would be better then

infinix, tecno, itel all from the same OEMs... In terms of performance i can't use them.... If you must use a Mediatek powered phone, check Gionee.

mrsage:
Over time I've come to realize that drivers need a better bargain. There is the constant pressure to satisfy each rider and of course earn good money.

I have a solution... How about a device that helps to keep everything rider happy during a ride and at the same time the driver gets better Ratings ( 5star ) and also gets to earn additional income.

I'm here to introduce Taxi Ads...
The rider gets good quality entertainment and he or she is happy.

Driver earns money in the process and gets better Ratings. It's a win win situation for everybody.

All you need is a Tab and if you don't have one, it will be made available and you get to pay from your earnings.

Activation is very easy.. Let's talk: 08028052100 call or Whatsapp

Can the app be installed in this my 5 star DVD? Its multifunctional....

@ogunvic41
If my internet connection suddenly goes off for 10mins during a trip with uber, what will happen ? Will it av any effect such as reduction in money or will some distance covered during the 10mins outage be affected ?

from what i have experienced, just make sure ur location is on, with high accuracy. As we move and cover distance, network fluctuates, sometimes we lost it for a couple of minutes and regain it. But as far as ur location is on, the moment you end the trip... The gps/location helps the app to calculate the records of movements.... I use 9mobile and mtn too....
In summary, you simply need strong network coverage to get and accept requests, then again, to end trip and calculate fare. If you lost the network in between, no problem as far as ur GPS location is on. Cheers

pooozeee:
There are many people usually on queque for airport trip, so before request comes, its usually takes like 45mins , too many drivers for airport trips

nothing special about the airport trips as far as i am concerned. Sometimes i drop a rider at the airport and get request while trying to leave the premises. Most times i leave the airport axis totally and get my normal request. Local airport, i move to GRA. International Airport, i move to osolo way. I can't imagine waiting for airport trips. Not like the fare will be tripled.

GAZZUZZ:
I understand now. conversion is possible but pointless. They all have upsides and downsides

thanks bro

GAZZUZZ:
I do not understand the question. Brakepads/linings are requirements.

the kind of break system in front wheels of some cars are different from the kind at the rear. Some car have the caliper-type break pads all round. And i overhead someone saying one could change the back lining to the front type so all could have calipers or so. So i want to know the implications/advantages

Good morning GAZZUZZ! please what are the implications/advantage of changing break lining at the back to break pads? Thank you

Daveonoja:
