Pearl1910:
Well done to everybody that participated in the 'We at Dru' Mid-Year Challenge.

We got 8 entries and here is the ranking starting with the highest.

1st Raw2 - N199,300
2nd Gabrinchi256 - N193,300
3rd Morax - N189,350
Eyinola - N72,100
NaijaCr7 - N70,500
Ksmart027 - N68,500
Paparaxo - N60,900
Donfortune48 - N36,600

I am tempted to consider a consolation prize for 4th but the gap is too wide.

This is purely for motivation and to reward hard work. It isn't easy. Permit me to state, the best and advisable work habit was shown by Gabrinch256...don't work everyday, u will burnout fast, have rest for yourself and your car. Sundays are easy cash out days, if u can, take advantage of it. But by all means do what works for u.

So winners should contact me and send account details. My work is done here.

Thank you.

Quit, stop stop, you are using the wrong tool.
Olosho will take you to bad road, if you have to change your shocks all your earnings will go and you will borrow from your personal money

But if you still want to give it a try
Activate your bolt account , bolt is the winning team right now. If you can push yourself to do 10 trips u will have 2,600 bonus everyday.
Stay on the island and target surge.

That’s why I keep shouting the job is not easy but they term me mediocre.
As I’m typing dis one Unilag smallie kept me here waiting. I no even get strength to cancel or vex. Just open nairaland dey read and laugh.

Your car is too big for 700 naira trips

But can he drive? IDK

BAZ001:
I know what you did there. You don’t want to expose him. Even me too, I just don’t want him to escape. This will be his biggest give away, if he doesn’t chicken out.
He gave only 10k last year with engine oil.

Kanoski:
what about those who replace engines with a good toks unit

GeneralZodd:
Lol. Is part of this business bro, any real hustler on this Ehailing job must have been to aleast 3 different police stations,

Me since I stated this work in 2015, I have been to 7 different police stations in Lagos on different offence commited knowingly and unknowingly.

1 . Ogudu police station : Driving without tinted permit in 2015. I paid fine ₦5000

2. Maroko Police station: Driving one-way at midnight due to bad road. I bailed my car for ₦10,000 with serious begging and pleading. I slept in police station to collect my car the following day. That's was 2016

3. IGando police station: I picked up G boys from ikeja going to Lasu gate, police stop us at IGando bustop, they search phones of those boys and found white women pictures and some tools they use in collecting money from client. I tried to explain to them I drive Uber, they refused to listen, Na so dem carry us go police station. Getting to the station, they compelled us to write statement. Luckily for me, one of the boys called his uncle who happened to be the Commissioner of police Lagos state. He demanded they release us with immediate effect. They freed us immediately without wasting time. That was in 2017.

4. Maroko Police Station again. : I picked up a Nigerian Artist based in UK in Lekki phase 1 close to Don jazzy's Mavin studio. The dude was going to Palms ShopRite Oniru. On getting to his destination he alighted and paid me. After 10mins of driving off from ShopRite, I got a call from him that his wallet is missing. I searched the nooks and crannies of the car I didn't find any wallet. I called to tell him I didn't see his wallet, I had to drive back to Palms to clarify myself. Getting there, we both searched the car again. We didn't see the wallet. He insisted we go to the station. We got there and entered there was no officer to attend to us. We drove back to his pick up location, he searched his house and found his wallet on the dinning table. 2018

5. Somolu Police Station: Google Map took me through one way, as I was about to exit the one way Some police men hiding for one corner jump out from no where stop me, collected the car keys, impounded my car and took my particulars and my car keys. They were threating that my car will be Auctioned for taking one way. I had to beg and beg. We sha settled at ₦8,000. This was 2019


6. Ikorodu Police Station: I took BRT lane, because I wasn't familiar with Ikorodu road network. And there was serious traffic. Task force stopped me at Majidun and ceased the car. This was the biggest fine I have ever paid. ₦35,000. Initial they were demanding for ₦90,000. That was 2019


7. Ikeja police station: This happened recently. I was coming from festac that faithful night after dropping off rider. I decided blow to empty back home, it was pass 12 and I didn't know lockdown was still on. Naso I jam police for ikeja underbridge. They stopped alot of cars and took us to the police station. They were claiming we violated Covid19 rules and they would lock us up in a cell. , But deep down in my mind I knew they were trying to shalo us. At d end everybody Paid ₦3000 to bail himself




Police matter and Ehailing business are like 5 & 6, is something one will encounter, but the most important thing is to always learn from every mistake or offence commited so it doesn't repeat again. Because sometimes the subsequent mistake or offence might cost you alot than the previous ones.


I am patiently waiting for the Gist

dru23:
I no fit risk my reputation name and brand... I no fit recommend any car dealer at all .. My personal dealer that sells for me he dey craze every now and than ...na manage I dey manage them as I dey manage my drivers..........

Check on Jiji the last time I check I no see any civic either naija used or Tokunbo....

northbird:
Very true. I don't go to unfamiliar places. Once I sense it's a troubled spot, I let the trip ring out.

For instance, I don't do Lagos island( Eko, balogun, idumota, oke arin n Co). So many pitfalls there, the female riders that want to drop by UBA, or on marina road n still want to pay by transfer.

BAZ001:
Yes on point
No mind them, I always honk and embarrass them, na fear of Lastma dey confuse dem.
But u don be monitoring spirit or CIA.

How many people truly went to driving school ?

tunlapapa:
These you mentioned are what good drivers are meant to do when driving but majority of drivers in Nigeria will know he is turning right at the end of the road but will still maintain left and turn at the late time.

There are driving instructions to follow but a large percentage of Nigerian drivers didn't go to driving school, even some driving schools do not teach the right way.

BAZ001:
C’mon naah, 30k is too small to motivate me .
Haba not even up to 100 dollars. You no dey see dashboards? You think we are poor lazy drivers ?
When you were motivating people to post dashboards in December you did 50k
Na me u dey price 30k.
100k weekly is our target

dru23:
Your 04 camry shouldn't be shorting oil ..more than likely you bought a lemon. Those cars were in such huge demand that some had high miles on them .... I use the big daddy during my early years of uber..

When you bought yours did you verify the actual MILEAGE ? I can bet money that yours was bought high miles and the mileage was roll back before it was sold to you ... It only cost 5k to roll back mileage my brother......

Also it is 2007 to 2009 camry v4 that had a factory defect of oil shorten ........

Ps ... The more often you stress your car especially when use for e- hailing the more you burn more oil ..keep that in mind .. All these stop and go and traffic hold up, local driving stresses the car alot more than highway driving .......

Now I keep saying this is why I use Honda Civic 03 to 05. Those cars were built specifically for low maintenance. They were design for that and they have the lowest maintenance cost ....

And from experience I never had oil shorten issues unless from worn out oil seals or bad pcv values.. I have mention these couple of times.. Samething with my elantra 07 to 08 never had issues with oil shorten..

If you know you will be using your car for e hailling make sure to use full synthetic oil and follow owners manual ... Using the correct grade oil will also help you to save on petrol consumption.

I have a small fleet of cars on uber for the past years now .. My experience is well documented here ....i know what am talking about

XGhost:
Forgot to add Mercedes Benz c180 or c200. C180 is a 1.8ltr 4 cylinder engine. Gives you performance and the German promise durability..plus Naija prestige

CheerfulGiver:
This thread is just another offshoot of our offline lives... There are positive people and there are negative people and there are the never do wells. Dem full here. Bros, how is this business? Business no good o... All lies.

They don't want you to join. They will never show you way. Always one negative story day after day. Resident idiot on this thread asked whether uber na work? Only a negative never do well person will refer to a job that gives you 7k a day at least, after fuelling and commission, as "no be work". But the same aranchid was celebrating how his life has changed and how he overcame challenges with the same uber driving he is castigating.

Heck, he was even celebrating that uber has accepted him back. My people, if uber no be work, why is he celebrating. I want you all to reason and see why I go in hard on these group of efulefus. These are the kind of people you should avoid, cut off, block from your life. They are too negative, and if you listen to their crocodile tears, you may never take a decision.

Another one said the job isn't easy because he forgets to eat, and when he does, he eats gala and bigi, that he lost weight blah blah blah. LMAO... All na scam. Why will someone making money intentionally eat junk?
Rice and chicken in chicken republic is just #650!

Are these the people you want in your life? They'll rather discuss how they light oven, how girls are disturbing them, how they were rude to riders... Stupid stuff

Remember, positive and negative. I deleted their types in my life and I boomed.

Make I chop lunch, wash car continue my sweet life o Jere. No time for nonsense people.

Springboot:
So many babies on nairaland,so you think a criminal who has decided to go into kidnapping would risk his life because of an uber driver? How do you even connect posting earnings with kidnappers, there are better threads on nairaland where people make millions, kidnappers haven't been there, it's now drivers. Lol. Funny kid.

Good day bosses. Can this car with the dent on the bumper pass bolt inspection because I heard they are now strict

Kanoski:
The shorting of oil has gone bad though the smoke is still not noticable.

And another thing is that its making some noises which m really not comfortable with.
Steering pump is also on its way out.
The steaming sensor is bad .

So i have resorted to not fixing anything like this.

I even downgraded to a cheaper oil sef just recently.

Funny enough it doesnt consume fuel.
I still don't know how an engine with all the problems like mine Will still have chilling AC n not consume fuel.
It amazes me.

N m also scared of inflation cus of the way things are going.
Make i buy now were the price still the hover around 300k
Cus small time now, e go enter 350

So i will be going with my mechanic n the car to aba for the engine swap.
Cus i need the best

kanuisagoat:
I was chasing bonus and had to do some short trips. I can't drive on bolt without bonus. Thanks to bonuses, I have never paid bolt 20% and will never pay it. How I go buy fuel, repair motor and drive plenty hours only to dash you 20% for providing the app.
