[color=royalblue]Just seeing this now. Have you registered it bro?[/color]

Done... Thanks man

Bro I feel for you, I really do. The work is really unpredictable now but with grace and sharp skills you can still make some money. The scope I use is that I target long trips. I try as much as possible to get at least 2 long rides daily. I position myself to get the rides (ogunvic and romeo comes to mind those guys screenshots dey burst my head that year. It really motivated me) I decline short rides especially to bad areas.

No one is trying to remove food from your table. I share my screenshot for motivation and to let drivers know that there’s money out there. I try to average 10 hrs online and use at least 1300 per hour as a benchmark.

Let me help you a bit. Please follow this guide.

1. Set out as early as 6 (rush hour)

2. Select a long distance trip i.e island if you stay on the mainland and vice versa.

3. When you get to the island, try to do like 2 hours of trips around there and set destination back to the mainland. When you get to the mainland, continue doing your work, by this time you would have made at least 10k and the time would be like 2pm or so.

4. Try to get back to the island or VI atleast but if you no see, just continue working on the mainland and please select trips o. I no know why you go carry your car go abaranje.

5. Do not accept rides to places with bad roads especially if it’s a short ride except you’re headed home and it’s on your way. If it’s a long ride please jump on it or just use discretion. When you get to those bad roads, drive as slow as you can ignoring the ‘oga move faster now’ yarns.

6. Pray to your maker or whatever you serve to bless your day. Of course everyday won’t be sweet but if you can get just 3 sweet days out of 7 bro you good.

7. Lastly, try to adapt to change bro. Be independent like you are. Uber is not doing it, switch to bolt and get used to the system. There’s more money on bolt than uber. I have never slept overnight in my car and I still do fairly ok.

Hotspots are yaba, surulere, lagos island, ikeja, agungi, orchid hotel road, ajah, badore, phase 1, mushin( but please avoid this place because of the road. Very terrible) egbeda, abule egba, ipaja, ojodu, anthony, mende. Them plenty bro.

PS. If you’ve never defaulted on weekly remittance pre-covid era and your partner is giving you a hard time now, he/she is a bad person.

This man don giraffe my playbook

drakeskull:
Thank you o. That's what my shipper said too and does it on all cars. He's in Maryland, Baltimore. Probably some don't take it serious. Removing the refrigerant doesn't mean it won't cool at all since there might be residual.

Imagine someone arguing blindly without being informed. We learn daily.

I'm guessing some do and some don't. I'd say I was a novice then but When the seller explained it to me after I complained about the a.c. not being as cold as it should be, it made sense to me.
Same way petrol should be taken out of a car before shipping I assumed.

timifakay:
You are talking in the nonsense
You are talking in the thing that does not have a good experience
This stu.pid thing, it cannot continue like this...
Better go and face your cctv installation instead of creating posts your children will be ashamed of when they see them...


BTW since you told me to ask questions.
Who told you about the gas being leaked before shipping of cars?

I think this gas thing is relative... I got a corolla in 2016 and the seller told me the EXACT same thing (shipped from Canada)
I recharged the system and that was all until 2018 when i had to replace the evaporator with Oluwseunla

He won't understand how dangerous that place is

Touts are called "Area boys". In Adeniji, they have "Area girls". When our firm wants to discharge diesel, you'll see girls. Girls that will slap you if you talk otherwise, or use razor blade to tear tear your hand

Near that 3rd Mainland side, there's a bridge that leads you to Carter bridge. Under it is a field. They call it "Argentina". They usually play ball there, and all manner of rape, drugs, and all types of stoners are found there.

People have been attacked on that bridge and thrown into the water....No jokes

Third mainland bridge no be better place

When I drive past Adeniji, I always have this smile on my face. Those memories bro [/color]

One night years ago...

Time was like 11.30 at night, living at Dolphin Estate then. I took a car from oworo going to obalende, I tell driver 50 Naira o, I didn't hear a response. We were 2 in the car, the other person was in front.
After Yaba turnoff, driver asked for money and I handed him 50 bucks, oga say na 100, we drag am o, he said he told me when I entered. We sha no gree, I do agidi come down at adeniji.
I stood there for like 10 mins, no bus stopped, na so I begin leg am.
Approaching Olowu, na so I see this human form covered in white coming from afar. Me nightcrawler of life, I no shake, got closer, figured it was a woman... Next thing she goes bang in the middle of the road and continues walking facing the few oncoming vehicles, mama no move, na so the cars de swerve to avoid her...

As soon as I passed her I ran like the devil was chasing me... Telling myself, God no go let me see bad thing... Stopped when I got to running when I got to sura... Looked back and she was calmly walking back to the side of the road.

Geometrix:
Thanks for the advice, though it was 2005 camry not 2015.Using it on rental is totally different from the owner using it by himself I suppose, because obviously you are not be on rental. Am concerned in the area of having something left after remitting to the owner his weekly payment.

Disregard earlier post...

Geometrix:
Bro I would love more input on this because I am considering embarking on the hustle with toyota camry 2015 on a rental.The ride is a 2.4 litres engine, though not a v6.
To be honest it has been doing me double mind considering the fuel consumption but was trying to avoid the tag of supposed lazy man quarrelling with his tools until I saw this question by cheddaz

Car comes in 2.5ltr and 3.5ltr engines
That's a comparison with the 06 corolla.
Newer cars have become better optimized and more fuel efficient.

Your worry should be cost of maintenance.

chucsmoore:
Lol. Una get time to dig someone details online. This what I should have done when one yeye cele woman refused to pay me at IKorodu. I complained to Bolt bitterly, nothing was done, na so my 2k just Waka like that. Since then I made a vow never to go to ikorodu again. Gross irresponsible riders full there no be small.

Do you have these in size 42

Felicity001:
What kinda of certificate are you talking about? Maybe I should ask him to call the guy immediately and ask if such cert exist because the car is very good and cool for the price

He's right, there's a certificate (can't recall the exact name) or document if you like that Cars bought brand new from dealerships here come with, not custom papers. Ask the seller, he should have it.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I was surprised too

But then, we all have different ways, approaches and opinions concerning issues. So what may be right for me, may be wrong for someone else

And I wouldn't want to get bashed or insulted, so I'll just keep reading and learning

[/color]

You now understand why I keep quiet... Happy New year man, may the new year bring with it our heart's desires

radautoworks:
This is exactly what I am talking about. While entertaining, IMHO these situations could have been handled very differently with very different outcomes. At the risk of drawing ire, you have no business in the service industry. Maybe in Nigeria this is okay but anywhere else....

And below you say I don't understand how rude people can be, yes I do. This sign is hanging in our lobby but still does not give us an excuse for poor customer service.

Again, I'm not saying you should take anything they throw at you. What I'm saying is you should learn to either prevent from happening in the first place or better ways to handle it when it does. Most of the ways I see on this thread are absolutely ridiculous. There are some however I have seen that were Savage and entertaining yet professional. Learn from THOSE guys. IZZOU comes to mind.

I can be a huge whole asshole but not a single customer will say I am because I know how to handle people.

I said something here about hitting your head on the wall... So I don't even try

Guys what's the situation with airport pick-ups?
Was at MM2 yesterday to pick my landlord, loads of people standing at arrival staring at their phones but I no see coro and big daddy pulling up

Obinnau:
which kind of ride do you use boss?

Uber and taxify.

izzou:
I tried to tell you but, but....

You swore your allegiance to Uber

I'm happy you're seeing the light. The only problem be say agberos and broke people dey use the app pass..

I hope you have gone for Ocar registration . Seems Uber and Taxify will come and start begging drivers personally to use their app

I no like stress abeg, be like say taxify riders were deliberately selected... I no fit fight anybody Abeg. And positioning de taya me so I'm still TeamUber.

As per opay, I think after the bonanza to riders ends and riders have to pay full fare value, market equilibrium will happen then we'll see how far their $100million will go. For now it may pay drivers but for how long.
Uber is the multi billion dollar gorilla in the industry so I don't think they are shaking anytime soon.
Also, Lagos is a huge market and I still insist that we all combined can't satisfy the demand for rides. As long as my 15k daily remains constant, local man is happy where he stands

So yesterday I decided to drive on taxify after divorcing them, 3k bonus sweet.
Izzou you no tell me say na so taxify de get requests now o... Back to back to back just de fall on me.


but I was reminded why I don't do taxify again... Sad

Tyche:
Theres no point converting the money to Naira since most of it will be spent in $. The structure of expenses in the two countries are not the same.

Correct... Not all that glitters is gold. They should also convert $1200 monthly rent for a studio apartment compared to what we pay yearly for a mini flat then let's have the conversation again

ndubuis:
Do you have any prove that phone affect trip fares? If my phone GPS while using map, tells me when to turn right or left at the right time, reminds me 600meters before a turn, tells me when I have reached my destination, I see no reason why it will wrongly calculate fares and distance covered. If ever it does, the difference will be inconsequential. I for one hate Samsung products because they aren't durable, from experience. I stick to any other good phone that will last for me. I don't like talking about personal earnings. But, If my fare isn't being calculated properly because of the phone I'm using, I wonder how I was able to wreck in 65k two weeks ago, 55k last week doing uber on part time and using a Techno phone. Like someone rightly pointed out, it's the network, GPS and phone's ram that count and no phone is specifically built for navigation. If you are using a "Samsung Whatever" and Glo network refuses to work on the mainland as it usually does, so you will throw your phone away and buy an IPhone the next time? Right?

When your GPS is inaccurate, your location pings about coz the satellite can't lock on your position so your fare could be inflated or the opposite.
Imagine you have straight lines instead of your actual route as illustrated in the screenshot.
That is why GPS must be on point.
Samsung and other high end manufacturers have GPS (American) Galileo (European) and BDS (Chinese) satellites to lock on. Hence...

Luxurydriverng:
Nice progression showed that you were deliberate in pursuing your target, but what happened on Monday and Tuesday?

Mondays are my off days, said that several times here. Since the days of 3% I do a few on Monday. Tuesday, madam dragged me to watch terminator. But I needed to do 10 trips so that by end of Wednesday we ball 3%

tojahh:
Explicitly detailed. Wehdone sir.

Meanwhile as you drive... Be careful and don't over speed because you want to impress or because someone entered your front wrongly without begging.
Don't lose focus of the terms... Pick and Drop successfully is the motto.
Obey traffic signs.
Ensure you maintain utmost security mind at any given time.
Lastly, whatever you believe......
Avoid sex for ride!

Gbam!

rapheal5:
Bro i will like u to advice me on how u go about it pls this is my whatsapp no zero 7 zero 3543 95 forty

Its a numbers game and numbers never lie.

Start early, I start at 6, you have 12 hours only. That's 6 to 6.

For every hour you're online you should be making at the very least 1k, preferably 1k5.
So that bad as e bad, 12k in a day.

One advantage with uber is requests can come from anywhere unlike taxify where positioning is key cos proximity to rider is more emphasized.
Uber also has more riders than taxify, requests are more frequent. (Numbers)
Residential areas in the morning, don't miss the early morning rush, its key. People going to work, school runs etc. 6am-say 10am.
10am depending on where you are, magodo, yaba, Surulere (aguda area is especially hot), ogba aguda (ajayi road side)... These places are high population areas and people here can afford the fares. (Numbers) I don't like ikeja, can be very dry so if I find myself in ikeja I move to those surrounding areas.
Island doesn't have the population but enough people here can afford it so anywhere, except VI, it can be slow in VI around this time. Dolphin is great coz it has a balance of residents and offices. Lekki, you know every here.Lagos island is also good but, it takes guts and wisdom... BE AWARE.
From 4pm, ikoyi, VI, Lekki 1. If you get a long trip, sweet, if na yaba or Surulere, run back to marina and repeat as much as necessary. If na lekki (use alternative route) or Oniru, same. CLOSING.

While on a trip, be thinking in your mind of where to go wait for the next trip.
I never stay in a place more than 30 minutes, if request no enter I move.
NEVER enter traffic for FREE use Google maps ALWAYS before moving.

Reject trips WISELY.
Some people will reject any mainland trip. I say good luck to them.
Lekki to ikeja in the morning and afternoon is at least 2k5 and will take less than 1hr. That 2k5 might take you 2 trips and 2 to 3hrs to make oN the island. Factor in driving to pick up, waiting for rider, waiting for next trip etc. (Numbers)
Similarly, if you're unlikely to get a trip back from there, do not take it. If you don't know the place, check maps to AND FRO then decide whether to go or not. But accept and complete trips, it increases requests that come to you as well.

Have a positive attitude, very very important. It helps in how you relate with your riders. Be professional, cheerful and polite. Doesn't mean kiss ass. Be firm too, don't be drawn into altercations. Have intelligent conversations. I'm happy to talk with a rider who wants to talk and I'm happy to be quiet too, my job is to take you from A to B, nothing more.

No work today, madam isn't feeling well.

pocohantas:
Can one maintain 5star for that long?

Someday I will go about giving 1star just for fun. One of your own did it to me too. First to do no dey pain...

One chic (I suspect her) did this to me... She came in and said "how can your rating be 5 �" that she saw it and said she must meet this person... We gisted the whole trip, she laughed a lot... Later 4.9

Na then I begin leave taxify

kodred:
