My Fellow Ibadan man😂

I started this job this year too, I had not driven well in Lagos, except for few trip into Lagos. I lived in Akobo Area of Ibadan and relocated to OTA. So I believe I was like you when I started.

There were lots of challenges. The first few weeks were my learning time. Yes, you will always work with the Map, but it is not always accurate, but most times, it's 80% good.

You have the right information by only wanting to stay majorly on the highland, for a beginner, it's the best advise you can get out there.

The only thing/person that will help you is YOU!

You have to be determined to succeed. It is important to start and test the Waters and then, there are many things you'll learn on the job.







daguru001:
Happy Sunday, bosses. Please everyone, for the last time, I want to ask this question before I jump into it.

Here’s the question;

“I have never driven before in Lagos and am planning to relocate from Ibadan to Lagos so please, CAN I DRIVE WITH GOOGLE MAP WITHOUT ISSUES?” (Though, I don’t mind using/practicing with it for 2 to 3 weeks before I start fully - even if to practice for 1 month to be familiar with the roads)

As someone advised and even helped with house agent’s contact, I want to get apartment in Badore, Ajah and I PLAN TO WORK AROUND ISLAND “ONLY”. I also plan to work for 8 days daily and hope to be netting at least 20k daily after all expenses.

God bless you all

Guy, e no go far...sincerely.

If that guy was on rental or HP, he would have found a way. Some unnecessary question needs no entertainment. Make we know wetin we they do.. 2023 when fuel scarcity was at all time high sef boys still they work. OCT 1ST, fuel was in abundant on the Island and some parts of the mainland.

You didn't work for two day because there's a pseudo-fuel scarcity? Miss me with that Bs abeg... if you won rest, that's OK but no come they create needless panic.
Normally, some of you are bully but una no know.

You still dey type plenty English on a wrong notion.

If you dey my area, you'd think it's something serious.

Even for Mobile Jakande for lekki, the queue is mad because na only mobile open.

The major purpose of this group is to give information. If you keep shutting everyone down for asking questions, you have them defeated the purpose of the group.

Max, if it doesn't look reasonable to you, just pass, but stop talking people down because they asked any form of question, na there bullying dey start.

Have a good work day everyone

What prompted this response from you, I see no much insult in what reader said, yeah, it may sound somehow but it doesn't warrant this response from you.

Be cautious!
See police o, cautious of who?
Oga go rest.

The ones you should be policing are the ones who try to bully people because they ask questions or show a level of excitement with their work.
Person say he no get fuel, you said he's not ready to work, what more insult do you need to know who needs caution?
Don't take your caution come my side o

You are not ready to work, case closed. It's not a full blown fuel scarcity, if you really want to work, you will get fuel.
I don't know why many ppl dey behave like monkey here.
Person go ask question, una go take up like say he collect una papa car key.

If your wife dey beat you for house, make you no carry the frustration come here.

If you can't answer his question, read and pass, everyone have the right to ask any questions here.

The question is even valid for the group.

For those using uber and bolt pls tell me, which one pays more for hours stayed in traffic.
Unless there's surge, bolt will not add to your money.

So guys this is my dashboard for last month. Did some really cool offline trips too. I started newly a month prior to this, I spent approximately 372k on fuel alone. This hustle was really helpful to meeting my short term needs, bills and clear some debts. Thanks to all the senior men that helped. My advice to young men especially those with personal responsibilities and that of families is never to wait for better days, that's a losing strategy. Get out of your comfort zones and eke out a living till you get back on top, don't see it as demeaning or beneath you, what is beneath you is living from hand to mouth, being unable to pay bills and begging people consistently thereby being a bug. Adenuga also did Cab/Uber in the streets of London before he is what he is today. Just keep the vision alive and never let the hunger die. My contract job has started so i would be willing to drop my car for a committed lad here. Reach out!

Happy new prosperous month guys
Baba, don't post your Dashboard, some wailers will come for you as if you stole their car😃
BusinessRe: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by Vela01: 11:02am On Sep 29, 2025
Bolt does that too.
It means they have deducted their commission from the trip bonus they gave you.
But, commission taxing on every trip is a must.



cyif2003:
Started doing Uber for d first tym after over 5 years of driving (just weekends) and I think I have abandoned my bolt app. Something is quite different. Some Uber rides are not taxed on my account dashboard.... Some not even up to d 25% I heard of. I am guessing kus I am on trial for Uber pro gold or am I wrong??

That's for you.
Grace differ, your reality doesnr necessarily have to be other people's experience.





YeyeGbami:
As time goes, you will understand why that dashboard posting can look like a blessing and curse at the same time. wink
BusinessRe: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by Vela01: 12:30pm On Sep 27, 2025
Na normal way boss.
Just avoid areas like Agungi.
Try work more of Ajah sangotedo side.

BusinessRe: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by Vela01: 9:25am On Sep 27, 2025
My brother, you really helped me reply this guy and there's nothing much for me to add.

I didn't post to put any other person in pressure but to encourage anyone who needs it.

To make that dashboard, I did 16 trips that day running the whole of lekki. So, I'm not saying it's easy, I'm just saying with hard work, we can stay levelled up.

On a daily basis, we encounter different kind of people, the Polite, Rude, wicked and uncultured people, but I'm never moved because I'm just all out for my daily bread and to feed my family.

I am not here to boast, I'm a just encouraging like I got some encouragement to start when I wanted to few months ago.




Conner44:
Allow the man post what he wants to post and boast as he feels or hype what he likes undecided

It has NO SINGLE EFFECT on you or your life than maybe making you feel either insecure, jealous and lazy.

Is that how you currently feel after seeing his post up there? If so I believe you should just work harder and earn better for yourself instead of trying to shoot him down from his 'happy place'

In ehailing the sky is big enough for all birds to fly meanwhile in the labor market we are still waiting for the government to create more jobs to accommodate just below 20% of our current unemployed labor force. You think getting a job is beans? even 1st class graduates will find it hard because of nepotism and 'man - know - man

If you feel comfortable going out to net 40k and the next man feels glad going out to net 100k . . . Why tell him to cover his mouth when he's gleeful? He deserves a pat on the back isn't it? After all if you're applying for a job or contract wouldn't you wish to find out your salary/payment package beforehand?


You guys should stop talking down at peeps who post their dashboards here, if you won't like to post yours (for whatever reason you can conjure up) then stay back and allow those without such 'fears' to post theirs undecided

In this life it's good to mostly COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS because problems come to us all wether you want it or not undecided

Good morning people 🤗 happy weekend to us all

Jakande gate in Isolo or where? The trip was offline I guess?
BusinessRe: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by Vela01: 7:25pm On Sep 23, 2025
This is when to call out LASTMA.
The silly thing that causes the traffic is so sad. A small truck fell at the exit road to enter Marwa since 8am this morning, they couldn't find a way to move it till closing hour when traffic built up.

Their own is to be looking for who enter one way.

Avoid going to lekki Right now.

If you're inside, except you don't want to return to lekki, don't take a trip to VI or Anywhere, as for me, I got a 17k from jakande to Ecobank Vi, that's enough for today


See you in Lekki tomorrow




Kaymaxi2222:
