It's been quiet a hassle getting Numbers but from a reliable source within the next two weeks, Numbers should be available.
It would also be a bit difficult if you're selecting like ABC/ABJ, Double Digits.
It can cause the delay also
I was wondering if my plug was lying, this is 2 months now

Location is Lagos, Yaba. You can come for inspection. Car is with me. Car is mine. All papers are complete cos I renewed in January and it's Abuja plate, so you can register like a new car here in South West as Abuja and Lagos don't use same platform for paper renewal and registration
How much ?

My experience with new registration for Abuja plate number is not funny.
8 weeks is gone, and I have not seen any green light.
The agent keep telling me they will load this week , they will load next week.
I have done several plate registrations in lagos under 2 to 4 weeks.
Is this how Abuja delays or the agent is not doing the right thing .
You're not alone in this mess, have you gotten yours now?

Pls @DonBrowser don't allow me join them in dragging you, because we are silent doesn't mean we are a fool. The truth still remains that this government is a fatal disaster, the country is in tatars. So pls let's help ourselves on this forum with valuable information that can uplift our lives. Tinubu is working for his band of kleptomaniac, nothing for us the common man, don't be deceived.

The last Time A President came For Commissioning Was 2012 For A Brewery - Soludo


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiLDvgPMY-E?feature=shared
What is this supposed to mean? Why are you trying so hard to derail this thread. Anyways let me help you
Soludo made a statement which some of us have to correct him during President Tinubu’s visit..

“The last time a president visited for a commissioning was in 2012 for a brewery”
- Gov. Chukwuma Soludo

The statement is viewed as an attempt to attack Obi who Governor Soludo has never shy away from attacking at every opportunity right from 2023 Presidential election campaign.

Now let me set the record straight as a citizen of the state who have been following events in our state for years.

In 2012, President Jonathan visited Anambra State and commissioned:
(1) Inaugurate Orient Petroleum Oil.

(2) SabMiller Brewery

(3) Orange Drugs Company

(4) Krisoral Company

(5) Onitsha Inland Port

(6) 8 lanes Onitsha Head Bridge Enugu Onitsha expressway to Umunya with new parts bridge Nkpor.
Among others

Above listed are some of the triggers to economic growth of the state. I therefore state that the very statement from Soludo was demarketing of the state.

In 2010, President Jonathan visited Anambra State and commissioned:

(1) Anambra State University Teaching Hospital.

(2) Anambra State Secretariat

(3) Kenneth Dike Library

(4) Anambra State Emergency Management Complex

(5) Parental Drugs Factory of Juhel Pharmaceutical Industries

(6) so So many roads example : Zik’s Avenue Awka to Nkpor road and Bridges.

(7) the commissioning of the National Agency for Food, Drug, Administration and Control, NAFDAC’s upgraded ultra modern area quality control laboratory, at Agulu, Anambra State and many other projects.

(cool the commissioning of the assembly plant of the first indigenous Nigerian auto manufacturing company in Nigeria, Innoson Motor Manufacturing in Nnewi, Anambra State.

President Obasanjo had earlier visited during Peter Obi era in 2006/2007.
Projects Commissioned by President Olusegun Obasanjo are as follows:

(1) Onitsha Business Park: A strategic initiative aimed at boosting commerce and industry in the region.

(2) Revenue House in Awka: Established to improve the state's revenue collection processes.

(3) Anambra State Fire Service Headquarters in Awka: Built to enhance emergency response capabilities.

(4) Flagging off of Awka-Nibo-Nise-Enugwu Ukwu ring road

So it was sad to read Soludo said that what he said.
I have being trying to read what my governor marketed to the visiting President or what he used the opportunity to market as the chief salesman of the state by virtue of his position as the governor, but I am so disappointed with his statement which did not add any value to the state.

Good morning My nairalanders, I really don’t beleive that this DRIVER license of a thing would delays my e-hailing business. I’ve invested #12m on a car and still don’t see a green light about my DL.

This is why I asked if it’s possible for me to use my friend to register and start parking while my own DL is still In processing. This is is just telling me stories upon stories, I’ve paid for around 2 months and I haven’t even go to capturing 🤦🏻 he called this morning now and still spitting what I didn’t want to hear ( driving school certificate not ready, if using back doors I might not be able to renew when expired) 👈🏼 among other stories.

What I need from Nairalanders now is 👇🏼

What is the process to register my friend on the App while I drive the car ? ( please I request a response from whom have answers )

Wouldn’t it give me issues while driving ? ( I know how to settle myself out of any police/via/FRSC mess )

I just need to know if it’s possible or not so I can accept the fate that with or without my DL I can work.

Please am open to the truths it won’t hurt me

*** I have other job, I just want to have the e-hailing experience.

SOS 🆘 Nairalanders
I just read your post well, 12m keh? Is that not too much. What and what did you put money into that amounted to that figure, abi na exaggeration?

I am going through same experience. I was given a driving clearance though which I don't think Bolt/Uber would accept. Over 2 months for me and i am yet to do capturing. The excuse remains that there's no network. I think there's a possibility to use a friend's DL but input your picture, a guy spoke on it in past pages but then he was countered on moral ground. I feel it's a loophole that can be used just make sure your friend is aware and most importantly your vehicle papers are complete.

Move to another state
I noticed something terrible about you guys that support Tinubu/APC blindly, once someone criticizes government of Lagos state, you tell them to go back to their state. That's a sick mentality, citizens have every right to seek for accountability from government of wherever they find themselves in Nigeria. Oga i believe you're better than that.

You using your Camry to work will still be within the barbiturates fuel to gross range
Forget about people talking about lack of thermostat and bad car condition

Again, using that Camry to me is not a good idea being that it is too BIG for this peanut fares ehailing is offering, you'd consume more fuel thereby reducing your fuel to net ratio unlike someone who is using a 1.0 to 1.8l vehicle.

The Suzuki would have been the best tool cos of it's engine capacity but that car cost is very expensive, you can ask around

My advice would be if you intend to do this hustle for long time, you sell off your Camry and you'd still have enough change after looking for a very good small car maybe honda jazz, city, Kia Rio, Hyundai accent or buy better still buy the manual version of these not more than 3.5m so you can recoupe your capital faster

Or if you're ok with barbiturates fuel to gross margin then you can use your Camry

Just remember the indices that if a 1.0l engine user , pearl and barbiturate work and earn the same gross monthly, if pearl makes 1.6m monthly he will have a profit of 800k after all deductions, barbiturate will have just 600k monthly and the 1.0l engine user will have between 900 to 1m monthly
No, i am not in for the long run. My job which is a contract one would commence in about 2 or 3 months and run till the end of year. It's a stuff that fetches good return but i am just trying to use this E hailing to freestyle and have some decent income to support in my expenses as i have already depleted most of my reserve. Maybe later on, i might add smaller ones but no, I have no intention of selling this vehicle. Thanks for the contribution though. Much respect boss

U work barely 6hours daily from 11am to 6pm
Early morning rush hour u missed
Morning runs you missed
Late closers u missed
Night crawlers u missed.
Your car is 2 over 10 in fuel efficiency
And u still have mouth to talk. U should know u are not a model or standard by no means in this hussle.
U should know the same amount u gross, people are making X3 of it with less money spent on fuel.
Before u start work, ur colleagues have made 40-50k and after u have closed, they still will make 40-50k before they close.
I gross minimum X4 of my fuel money and I use 30k fuel on a full days work. So d least I make is 120k on 30k fuel daily.

Now this is d conservative model.
U make 80k gross on 20k fuel
Your take home is 40k
Working 5days a week is 400k gross and 200k take home.
In a month that's 1.6m gross and 800k profit. For me this is d minimum.
Anyone not doing this minimum should never speak on income when serious ehailing drivers are talking. U can give ur own experience and opinion but never doubt what I say on income.
Wow! What's your car model? A Corolla?
I am planning to start with a 2010 Toyota Camry, I really hope the fuel usage is efficient though it's mine, not driving for anyone. Is it advisable to buy a Suzuki 1.0 liter engine.

NB: This vehicle is my vehicle for work, just hoping to use it part time for e hailing. Do you advise i sell it off to buy a more efficient car?
