Yesterday was hell. I barely escaped traffic from Lekki to Ikate. 7 kilomtres trip was showing 2 hours to destination. Mad oo.

I was at Ogba around 9 pm. I got a request on Uber going to Sango from Obawole. I called rider to know if the trip is that night or next year. Rider changed it for me on the phone and threatened to report me to Uber.

This morning, Uber deactivated my account for "Too Much" cancellations. I mailed Uber immediately and told them that should they reactivate my account and send me bad and stupid trips, I will cancel all of them again twice on Sunday. Uber ran mad.

They upgraded my status from Civilian Miscreant on Probation to Unrepentant Terrorist on permanent ban. They have changed my profile to permanent deactivation.

Bolt Ti Takeover.... Stupid Uber.

Oga complete this story na, wetin really happen?

AngryIgboDon:
Inasmuch as InDriver is another platform to earn money, there is really no need of being pennywise, pounds foolish. I have come to discover that its not worth it at all.

Bolt takes at least 3,500 to 4000 for a trip from Ogba to Lekki. You claim inDriver is better than Bolt. Then Why should drivers be accepting trips on inDriver for Ogba to Lekki at 2,500? If Bolt charges 4,000 for same trip, will their Commission on that trip be upto 1500? Why cheat yourselves in the false deception that you are taking everything on inDriver? The funny part of it is that it doesn't count in traffic.

Drivers beware of this. Nigerians know how to use people and abuse things. inDriver is using this strategy to cheat you. I just did my calculations and found out that it doesnt worth it. Yesterday I saw hell on earth. I took a trip on indriver from Ikoyi to Ikeja for 2500. I was so happy thinking its a good deal. Not until I was in traffic on Osbourne for 5 good hours. For 5 hours of my life, I was still stuck inside Ikoyi and it was not counting.

On Bolt, same trip will be up to 7,000 or more. Nwanne, I saw hell on Osbourne. All my hand and leg muscles are gone. Am deleting this useless InDriver app immediately. Let me focus on Bolt and my Fish farms as my source of income. I no do inDriver again.

InDriver, 1 million years of suffering for you and your developers cum riders.

@ weightless.

Sorry about d ordeal. I believe you are a new to the game.

There's no point in waiting for a rider that has refused to pick your calls nor return them. It shows indifference on d part of d rider, so you shouldn't waste your time on such.

You don't cancel, hmmmn, time is money in ride hailing, you can cancel but within d allowances given. Moreover, rider said, he/she trekked to d destination, so it was a short trip.

Always weigh d comparative cost analysis of your time vis a vis the destination of the said rider.....

Uber/ Bolt / Indrive, preferences differ, the bottomline is, are you making something substantial within the Nigerian context.

[color=royalblue]Incase I want to know?

You reveal so much about who you really are only by typing. You are not the discreet type, always trying to throw shades at others that don't agree with you, or even your ex partners.

Before Dru, you had a partner here and you came here to tell us how she collected her car from you too.

Now you come again to say, you don't care about your partner (third party). Its just you and yourself..

Sincerely bro, I don't care if you pay 2000 every month as rentals. It's God's blessings for you

By the grace of God too, I will never collect a car for rental in my life too. I've passed this hustle and I've moved on to better things.

Stop rubbing your supposed success on our faces. You're not the only one God has blessed or is blessing[/color]

Felicity0001:
With all due respect Sir, you made a valid point but have you try to look deep into why Uber went into this partnership with MOOVE?

Uber is a household name but has just a little fraction of the market share in Nigeria. So by pulling out quality cars which MOOVE brought in to serve their customers I believe that within the space of little time they'll take over the market from their competitors.

The idea of using America standard as same 8n Nigeria wont work is not fact. How many businesses originated from Nigeria? Even the education we have is from the western world so why won't it work here as well?

The car we are even talking about is no big deal, its group d clearance is even higher than the popular Honda civic with the factory 14rim. Banks, cooperate organisations and individuals use this brands of cars on the daily apart from the issue that it's parts will be a little bit more expensive than the conventional 03-07 Corolla anything other than that is d same. From engine down to transmission.

The two weeks daily delivery of the car to their workshop is for lots of reasons structured out in their business plan and not all drivers will qualify to continue driving with them after these two weeks.

Though the idea may seems crazy to many but what I see in this is just a market strategy and in few years they'll breakeven.

What small scale investors should do now is keep a close watch and study the trend very well because anything can change at any time.

Angryigbodon always have my biggest respect, i like his bluntness, he is a smart businessman.

I am on his side for rejecting the load, the rider try to manipulate the system, looking 4 cheaper way out, but he put him in his place, i only disagree with him laying curse on the rider.

As for ur blood brother Mr Moove/Felicity0001 u both are the same. If this people tell u stop, start running, they are looking 4 people they will send back to thw village?

AngryIgboDon:
After buying fuel for 165 yesterday, it has come to my notice that this people really want me to retire to my fish farm permanently.

Even the young man that wanted to load a whole container into my car had the hand writing of village people written over it.

Father Lord God, I did nothing to these people and they have started tracking me from Umuahia.

This young man that wanted me to change my Engine Sitting, Coils, Spark Plugs, 4 hubs, 4 Shocks, Suspensions, Tie rod, Bearings, Shaft, Gear box, Low arm Bushing, Stabilizer Bushing, Linkage and four tyres after one trip to Lekki... Its my earnest prayers that God will punish you forever.

You wanted to Eviscerate, disintegrate, Annihilate, Discombobulate, Bifurcate, Obliterate

I don't know if you were able to hoodwink any driver eventually, but May you Suffer for the next 1 Billion years in Jesus name name... Amen.

peeps4u:
If you were buying at a 'good' filling station when the price was lower and still buy at the same filling station now, Do you still get same quantity of fuel?
Fuel station isn't the issue here but the rising price of fuel while the fair is still the same.
The kind of "I no want trouble" solution we proffer to situations in Nigeria is disturbing.

davit:
Wondering too. Aw do we cope with this increase when fares are not changing?

Well at the end of day ,whether uber driver, labourers ,business men and women, bank worker etc .. Make we wrk smart for an easy retirement.. If they think job hard now ,what happens when they get old ..hustle now and plan...... A lot of these drivers are smiling to the bank ,some or most will not put money aside and save for raining day .. Most will born more children they can't afford to feed.. It becomes a circle of poverty that keeps going... That is why I don't pity anybody anymore ,my job as a business man is to provide you the necessary tools for you to do your job .. The rest is left to you meself I got my own problems ...

Let Glen catch you. you go know say no be all play be play.

AngryIgboDon:
What am about to write is just to motivate drivers who are dulling to grind harder.

Honestly, I still cant believe someone was given a car at 10k and he still had the temerity to shalaye.

I want to tell you guys what happened to me this past two days and how I made much money with Bolt alone. I don't want to say the amount. Mind you I just came back to Lagos on Friday. After driving for 8 hours non stop. I know a lot of you will say its a lie but I don't have anything to proove to anybody. I would have uploaded screenshots but I have a principle. I chopped both the 4k bonus and the 2.8k bonus. Thats 6,800 I did not work for. Its just a bonus. I find it funny that the luxurydriver guy couldn't even get it because of ordinary one trip? Can you imagine? Are you a learner? Some of you dull oo.

Again, If not the fact that am aware Bolt and Uber agents monitor this thread, I would have uploaded screenshots. But then, it will be easy to nab me.  I refuse to shalaye like Felix and leak trade secrets.

The funny part is that I just came back to Lagos last week Friday like I said. I drove for 8 hours all the way from Owerri. But that did not deter me to work the next day Saturday. Immediately I came back that Friday, I started my bolt app and saw weekend bonus of 4k. To get it, I had to accept 95% trips, Complete 75% of accepted trips, be online for 15 hours and complete 20 trips in all. Lol.

Na today? We have been in this game for long and we know all the tricks. By the time I woke up around 8am the next day, I was already online working for 12 hours  . Remaining 3 hours. Don't ask me how I did it. Its a miracle working God.

I set my destination to Surulere. The king of short trip area. Within 3 hours, I have already done 8 short trips within surulere. I set destination to Lekki. Another king of short trips. Within another 2 hours, I have done over 10 trips in Lekki alone. Please nobody should ask me how I get short trips. Its a trade secret and I know how I get it. Think whatever you want to think and infer whatever you want to infer... You may be wrong. How I do mine may be totally different from yours.

What you need to do is park and watch them with great interest and enthusiasm. You can even offer encouragements on technique. You won't have to ask them to stop
