I hope you are not foolish or running mad? Don't ever mention me in your rubbish again, ever. If you are failure, everyone can't be like you.
Drop your advice and bounce. I won't be a part to your shenanigans here.

Mumu, trying to sound cute. Your advise was wack and it's worth pointing out .Show me one cheap house in sangotedo. I know a room there is above 500k. You should have advised him to come to Ibeju Lekki that you crawl out from daily and see if fuel of coming out and going back home will make it easy for him.

You are advising someone to sell a V6 camry and use half the proceeds to buy which lesser car at 3m? Mugu. If you talk stupidly in a public forum, you would be told so. I say you no get savings for account since hundred odf years driving. Na lie I talk?

pope191:
Boss did you see him quote me? No one tells your story better than you. If you leave this God forsaken idi*ts to always go free with their lies, it will stick. Evidence will always shut them up.

E Money used to have a car wash spot at Olowora. People must have mocked him at some point. Same reason I honestly don’t blame him when I see him display like he always do.

I have my reason why I no deh advice anybody again on this platform. Nobody be God, your intentions will be for good, but some peeps are out here to tear you and if you meet them one or one, even you go regret say you ever pay them attention. Men deh… God bless

I still talk em say Donfort and XGhost drop piece will spine heads and tots recently. Yourself don try in your little way. Cheerful self no small. IFRHS pull greatness the other day. Baz be pulling strings too. Abeg who these guys help? If life is all about advicing people without pattern or show of support, motivational speakers full everywhere. People for no they suffer or complain. No one is against advice, but nah poor mentality to try to put others down because stuff no work for you.

You were used as specimen for my illustration, unapologetically so. If you like post a billion as balance in your account, , we don't believe you. No evidence, no facts, can't be substantiated. I have verified your screenshots and found that they were lifted from the internet. I'm a criminologist, so don't even try.

The Pope iwe know is a woman wrapper, the one that was arrested the other day by Lastma, that one that is not street smart and who's car has been a shadow of itself lately, struggling to keep it moving. Pope you don't own three cars, you lied through your teeth there. But really, it's not worth it, so won't go back and forth with you. Deep down inside, you know the truth.

I don't think you are creative enough to escape from the bunkers of ehailing. You really don't have what it takes to advise anyone on the subject matter that yourself have not been a success. The facts are there and that's what I was trying to point out.

If that guy from Ibadan has a car that he wants to use in Lagos for ehailing because he needs money for day to day survival, all well and good. It's called making a living, it can still pay your bills, no doubt. It's evil for.anyone to discourage you from doing that. "At all, at all na witch" has always been my mantra.

But contemplating selling your car, buy this and that, start using this as business model to plan your life, I regret to announce to you that you've stepped into a one chance bus. It's no different from people in Nigeria that resign from very good jobs, sell all their properties just to fund travelling abroad, only to work years abroad without being able to become half of what they were before leaving, especially those that leave with herd of family.

Just to clarify I'm not discouraging you but know what you are doing and how best to go about it.

yogayoga23:
Thanks for the response sir,


I actually have an exit plan, which is to venture into Tech, build something from the little earnings that I can put up.
And yes, my car would comfortably get me #5-6million naira.

Also, I’ve lived about a year in Sangotedo area before. I hope considering that area isn’t bad for a start.

What cars would you recommend in a maximum of #3m budget with good fuel mileage.. ??

And also, is there a WhatsApp group that I can join for a start to begin my journey with connecting… I just need to make consistent earnings and I think Ehailing could be some sort of Calvary… I would do better in my side hustles with that extra income and I’m not scared to sell my car as someone suggested…


Thanks for the time

These people advising you.. especially the ram called corner44. He knows nothing.

Anyone that told you that you would see a cheap apartment in sangotedo lied to you, except you want to squat with cheerfulgiver in his Ogombo face me I slap you.

You wan sell V6 6m and want to use half of it to buy which car? Lolz. How? That again may not happen, realistically. Do yourself a favour and check current prices of cars.

Lastly, ehailing is not a business and not for everyone. Look at Pope, using him as specimen, he has been driving for a while now including the radadream that just advised you, ask them how much savings in their accounts. Don't think it, it's not a business. Sell your car and use the proceeds for a more beneficial business. You can't save up to 5m doing this business in the next five years, not even a million, it's not a curse. Why not sell your car and delve straight into your tech business if the idea is clear to you? Why the merry go round of ehailing?

Please don't let the dashboard here fool you. This is 3am and the owner of that dashboard is still on the road since yesterday. Do you think your body, mind and soul, or even the 3m car you want to buy can withstand that? Think very well bro and don't make any mistakes in whatever you choose.

[quote author=creategist post=132623219]Video shows some man (purportedly one of influence, member of House of Reps) unreasonably insulting and assaulting a very calm ride-hailing driver. Argument appears to be because the driver had asked the recipient of the package to come and meet him for his package. Awful behaviour!

This is pure oppression and wickedness. 😦 so a Bolt driver went to deliver something to A Politician and this happen just because the driver asked the man to come to the car to pick up his stuff!

name needs to be posted everywhere. Hon. Alex Ifeanyi Ikwechegh. The American, UK, embassies, Canada and Europe has to blacklist this violent criminal and abuser. There's no room for oppression in the world of today. Since there's no government and police in Nigeria, social justice must prevail. His full names has to be mentioned everywhere you talk about this. It will never leave the internet.

Halahhalah:
That was why I mentioned sometimes that you are his nemesis. He thinks everyone who attacks him is you.

Very funny though. When I realised how foolish he is, I regretted all the melee with him

Halahhalah:
Are you just getting to know the truth?
I stopped responding to him a long time ago no matter the mentions he gave.
And his trolling act has worked on people as I have seen people believe that I am the same person as themoderator.

That's the part I find despicable, some people here believing him. That's why you were refused palliative that was giving out on this thread because they think I'm the one, how sad.

I gave up on corner44 after he went to fight with strangers on crypto section branding them as me, na there I know say him madness no be ordinary, it's beyond cruise. He did the same in politics section, fighting strangers thinking they are me

Itsrm:
Just to correct this thing on pricing. It's still N250/SCM at mother stations. Mother stations have existing pipeline infrastructure and can receive gas directly from say Escravos.

Mother stations store and distribute gas to daughter stations using CNG tankers. Because of the cost of transportation, daughter stations have to sell at N450/SCM.

It's very similar to the way NNPC or major marketers receive fuel directly from vessels and sell cheaper compared to independent marketers.

The reason for the wide disparity in price difference compared to petrol is that, CNG requires expensive and specialised tankers to transport it and you can't transport it for more than 500km at once.

Stories that touches the heart. This is pure paper theory, thesis. You are not in the minds of industry cartels. Abi, are you are new in Nigeria? We are already seeing disparities in prices, it's a gradual and steady climb, that's the Nigeria we know. This your theory only sound good on paper not in reality. Mother station Ko, Father station ni.

The factors that led to price increase, why are they just happening now that demands are increasing? The low price is a systematic way of getting more people on board, then jack up the price in due time citing factors and giving excuses. There's a threshold of price that we haven't seen yet and it's going to be beyond the reach of the average man out there when that time comes.

Omoapena:
Honestly, anyone who converts might end up regretting and that's the bitter truth, CNG was being sold for less than 100 per kg when they first introduced it, users are still very little compared to petrol users but price has gone up to 450 per kg.

Before middle of next year, it will enter 600 per kg or even more.

My brother, this N450 is just a tip of the iceberg. It's going to climb oo. We don't have a government that can control anything in this country. People should just manage themselves as much as they can to avoid regrets. Because you go carry your hand convert, na you go still unconvert that car after a few months. Not to mention the likelihood of your car engine having issues and breaking down or not working optimally.

The price of CNG will continue to go up and will hit the roof in the nearest future. It's not an option worth considering if you ask me.

Instability in Nigeria, inflation, Naira losing value, profiteering are the drawbacks. The cartels are waiting for more people to convert before they strike up the price even higher than expected. Use your head and don't waste your money on conversion. It's not even worth a debate if you understand the country you live in.

Cars with smaller engines are the only option it seem. Likely not going to get anything reasonable out of the business driving an old car with a 2.4 engine these days, it's no rocket science

2RightHands1Coc:
LoL ,I'm not . Pls share the telegram link. I bought 8k fuel this morning. Drove from gbagada to Ipaja.my tank is almost empty now and I need to top up. I stimulated price on bolt.all I can say is Omo. Mind u I'm not yet into e hailing still contemplating.im just thinking loud and scratching my head

This person you are quoting has NEVER driven or been involved in the business by any means. just a loose sad troll running amock on this thread. Follow him no where in your own interest except if you want to be led astray.

Be bold enough to face your fears, hit the road and drive. Your car model, where you live, level of resilience will tell you all you need to know. Naturally, ideas will manifest on how to make the best out of a business that the profit margin is meagre. Honestly, there's no learning curve to this, no one side fits it.

Two things to have in mind;

1) It must never be a full time business, best as part-time or to reduce the burden of fuel while on personal errands.

2) You can also do it momentarily just to survive and get by with life whilst having a plan and timeline to back out. You must never be stuck in this rat race called ehailing.

Conner44:
Na fresh newbie nairaland professor wey dey do bolt (still keep dictionary for back seat in case him wan yab passengers)

Him join nairaland specifically because Pearl1910 dashboard no dey look 'dashy' enough

Abeg helep me welcome am to the family

You are now back to your senses. I remember you going to make a complete fool of yourself in crypto section thinking it's me you were having banters with. History never stops repeating itself with you for the wrong reasons. Fools dwell on guess work while the wise dwell on facts. I find it most disheartening that most people here including Pearl that brands himself as smart believe your nonsensical and childish vituperations.

You should have confronted Jacksonfire with facts to counter him but you chose to attack personalities, shows how little minded you are.

Here you are vomiting and using your tongue to lick them up again. This can't be any different from the real you in real life. You must be a real laughing stock to your friends ,colleagues, neighbours and those that know you in person.

Djdamian:
Let me address your comments because you seem more reasonable compared to the other two people who mentioned me.

My decision to exit the business has nothing to do with Pearl's daily net profit from E-hailing, so let's clarify this upfront.

I believe everyone can succeed in the E-hailing business; I'm not validating or invalidating Pearl's statements. My point is that people shouldn't feel upset or frustrated by his comments or use them as a benchmark for their own earnings. Ultimately, success in this business hinges on the type of vehicle and strategic positioning, and your ability to be smart. Different vehicles and strategies yield different results, so I can't confirm or deny his statements because everyone's circumstances vary.

My reasons for leaving the business boil down to two main factors.

Firstly, it's challenging to find trustworthy partners in this business as an investor. No matter how transparent and open you intend to be, there are always individuals who exploit the situation. The last person I collaborated with almost renewed my faith in the business, but by then, it was too late. Lovely guy he is!

Secondly and most importantly, the returns on investment in this business are no longer viable. The high cost of vehicles—imagine purchasing a 7 million Naira vehicle and then earning 40,000 to 50,000 Naira weekly with driver insulting and playing on your intelligence.
Moreover, the time it takes to recover your capital, let alone make a profit, is too long. There are other investments offering similar or better returns within a shorter timeframe.

Regarding your question about if I have done well in the business, I can't definitively say. E-hailing was intended to diversify my income streams rather than serve as a primary source, so the earnings were primarily used to cover incidental expenses.

You made a lot of sense here and I can't help but agree.

Let me use this opportunity to make it clear to Pearl that I have nothing against him. If for anything, he's an example of how success can be achieved by being diligent in our endeavours. Throwing shades and insults at me means that he has believed a man running wild in the person of corner44. I wouldn't have been involved in the conversation if not the way I was dragged into it by corner44, the ultimate confutionist that thinks every new account that shows up is me. We are all in the business of survival, but how we see and approach things may be different.

Djdamian:
You really sound like one of the trouble makers here who likes arguing without facts or data. This raises the question of whether you're part of those individuals using a different moniker to cause nuisance here.

Pearl's comments about making 80k net with 20k spent on fuel shouldn’t be your concern, whether it’s true or not. I don't think you need to be so upset or worried about it. It doesn't imply that other drivers who earn less are lazy or falling behind in life.

Everyone has their own way of making things work for them.

But you just resigned the other day and swore with your life never to have anything to do with the business ever again, isn't that systematic proof that that the business isn't worth it any more? If 20k fuel can net 80k, it means we are still in the boom era of the business. If for anything, that should encourage you to continue with the business and not throw in the towel?

Thus far, can you beat your chest and say you've done really well as far as Uber business is concerned? What we are doing here is to establish what is possible under normal circumstances. it's not about an individual, it's about what is humanly possible in general, all things being equal.

Conner44:
Na you sabi

At least you've finally posted what you always had in mind

You can now retire this your new jackson account peacefully

I can't dispute whatever method another man is using to earn high. It may work for one in a thousand but it can't be reality and what is obtainable or the true reflection of things out there, you gerrit? I only just added a voice to the controversy.

Indeed, 20k fuel can fetch you not more than 40k on a very good day and take home is about a quarter or less of that earning, you gerrit too?

I only have this account on Nairaland and another one that I only use when I get banned on this. Respect other people's opinions. I'm sure if the other account you are tagging as me said what would suit your small mind, it couldn't have been me, right? This is why you failed jamb a couple of times and went to school without a result.

Conner44:
It's not by posting 'seconds apart' to decieve us here.

When larry1960 was here and you created that your snoopy account your posts between this one and that one were even milliseconds apart yet alas it was always you

Why this rigmarole again? Ehn? You no dey tire? 😒

The way anus is being pumped by doctors in the event of hard stool is what your brain needs to clear it of all iniquities. It will be first of its kind for a human, painful and difficult process but needed to correct cerebral decay.

About 6 - 7 liters of fuel is going to do this trip at 6k. You are left with about 3k at the end of it. Understand that the app isn't showing the actual time the trip will take.

So if you are going to do six of those trips in a day, you are likely to gross 60k minus 36k fuel at 6k per trip, minus 6k commission on indrive. Your take home for that day is going to be 18k.

Simply put, with 20k fuel, you are going to gross about 40k minus commission on an average day. This is the reality as of today. Quite simple and clear.

No IQ in corner44 to decipher anything. Has only fufu and eba in his head. Can you see that my last post and that of jacksonfire are seconds apart? So I be computer abi to navigate between two accounts and post that fast? If you never get sense as old as you are, you'd never. You are one of the oldest in this forum if not the oldest but have the most babish brain.

Conner44:
Oga, just maintain this moniker in all you do on this thread that's all. Why must you create new ones everytime? What are you afraid of?

Leave the other ones and focus on using this one. Is it too much to ask?

Not everyone is you. If I don't agree with anyone here, Themoderator is always here to tell it as it is. No fear in me. You'd better stop this your stupidity of linking every new moniker to me.

Conner44:
Na you sabi. All I'm saying is make use of the normal moniker you have always utilised in posting here on this thread in calling out or accusing whomever that's all.

Creating new fresh ones to attack different people reeks of cowardice. Stop it, man up and confront whomever you chose to like a man.

Even the dung of a cow smells better than your stupidity. Does it mean that we don't have new people that sign up to Nairaland? So every new account can be linked to an old one? Your foolish mindset stinks. No right thinking human can relate. If you walk alone in this confused mindset, understand that you are not far from a solitary confinement if you don't seek help now.

Conner44:
And what is wrong or bad with one being an orphan?

Do you want to die before your own parents so that nobody would ever call you an orphan?

Or do you prefer heaven admonishes you for mocking someone else for being an orphan and therefore makes you one too immediately by taking away the lives of your own innocent parents on time?

Use your head this man. You say you're learned right? What makes someone educated is the ability to know he's on a wrong path and reverse his steps.

This is the last I will tell you concerning this your orphan jamboree. Continue if you like, it is now between you and whatever diety you serve.

Look who's talking, the most bankrupt character this thread have seen. You've said worst things. So don't come and be preaching after dancing naked here. You have no moral grounds to be doing this.

pope191:
Where Dapo 😂 they don deh use dollars pay ooo

Behave like Romans if you live in Rome. You are not street smart. Aboki will not even take this money from you. What happens to being paid in Naira? Expired ten dollars. Good luck with it.

Conner44:
You are a very shameless, envious and jealous ingrate.

Somebody came here, took his time to try and help drivers with his ideas and methods to staying afloat on their hustle and what did you do?

YOU ATTACKED HIM WITH YOUR LIES, LIBELS & DEFAMATORY WORDS , even called him a THIEF right here on this thread in front of all of us.

Why do you hate me? BECAUSE I SPOKE OUT AND ACCOSTED YOU ALL FOR THE TRUTH which you have still failed to reveal till this very day. You yourself said he came to you, took your vehicle and RAN AWAY but even after realising your lie had been bursted you still decided not to even make a single apology to him till this very day for your deceitful accusation against him.

He left the thread for you after you hounded him here but what did you do? YOU STILL SHAMELESSLY FOLLOWED HIM INTO THE TELEGRAM GROUP HE CREATED FOR LIKE MINDS WHO WERE STILL INTERESTED IN LEARNING FROM HIM and you are STILL IN THAT HIS VERY GROUP TILL TODAY LEARNING FROM THE SAME PERSON YOU ACCUSED OF STEALING FROM YOU

A few months ago, in the group there was a time that person took up a vehicle on contract from moove for himself and gave everyone there his reasons why he did so (maintenance and fueling costs) and what did you do the next day? YOU CAME HERE ON NAIRALAND TO MAKE A CRYPTED POST TO MOCK HIM FOR HIS DECISION , You laughed at him right here for learning what he thought you openly and freely on HIS OWN TELEGRAM GROUP Which you followed him into.

Now what is the result of it today? you are crying about fuel disappearing from your car, ride fares not making sense, maintenance eating you up MEANWHILE that same person you hate and still follow upandan to learn from IS CURRENTLY BALLING WITH HIS DECISION TO DOWNGRADE HIS HUSTLING TOOL IN READINESS FOR SUCH A TIME AS WE ARE ALL EXPERIENCING TODAY IN NIGERIA . . . Yes, you are crying today while he is laughing his ass off, collecting all the rides, cashing out with his vehicle IN YOUR FACE.

YOU ARE STILL IN HIS TELEGRAM GROUP TILL NOW BUT CANNOT TALK PIM THERE, it's to come on nairaland to type rubbish to make people here hate him like you do FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER except your innate HATE for his person

Call me whatever you wish but the TRUTH will always remain SARCOSANCT the saying, FOLLOW WHO KNOW ROAD no be for senseless people like you.

Just look at the timeline of your uselessness below, someone who wanted to help you . . . You said no, let us castigate him for nothing.

dav1002, I put it to you that you're a very terrible HOMO-SERPENT that adorns the garb of a human being

What nonsense are you even writing? Driving a moove car that you have to pay about 10k a day plus other slave laden terms and conditions vs driving your own car, which is better?

I've always said that the Telegram group is full of moronsss who gets lectured on how to hustle backwards. I'm not surprised you are their cheerleader

Conner44:
Hehehe 😆 cry me a BLOODY river

No single kobo for you here leave these hustling drivers alone and let their thread breathe

You have a problem to still believe what your mind is telling you. I give and help others, not the other way round. I'll ignore you for the time being. I don't want to indulge since you don't have anythimg reasonable to say. No come infect me with your zombie brain.

I'm busy at the moment bro.

TheModerator, this thread will definitely pick back up AND IT WILL HAPPEN IN YOUR FACE

Oloshi

I can't even find words to say to you, just how foolish your tirade is.

In a bid to drag my name through the mud, you've succeeded in making a complete fool of yourself. Just keep clowning yourself,. It's neither funny nor entertaining, just plain stupid

dav1002:
Yes I have
Hope I've answered your question 😂

Senseless punk

I know you na, you no get shame. No surprises you've taken this your beggy beg lifestyle to the streets, apartment to apartment. You've graduated from being a federal goat to a federal begger.

That's why ou drive a car with *BOLT* boldly inscribed on the two sides you no dey take free things play

dav1002:
Another update

Most apartments on the island also offer drivers incentive when you bring a rider to lodge

The incentive depends on your bargain with the manager. For example ziroc apartment and villa thirty three.

Note: you need to register for free at these apartment as a driver and call the manager to inform him of your coming and bargain your price

Guy, you be vulture? You and freebies na five and six, you must be present. How did you earth out apartments offering freebies on the Island? Your sense of smell is something else. I applaud you bro. Hope you don submit aza to Pearl?

5 years visiting for conference visa? Lol
Except if you're getting a B1 or B2 visa (Business) which is valid for that long but you can't stay more than 6 months.

The visa person expects that you seek asylum within that period. In America, you can stay as long as your asylum request is still in process which can take up to 3 years

And within that period, you may marry a whitehead. You Gerrit?
