Yes you are wrong, they match drivers and owners every day .

mrsage:
If we are not careful, the so called earnings we see on the screen will affect our judgement.

E hailing people, are we really making profit considering the current fares and increasing cost of doing business?

jesusson2020:


I know they will come for me, because frustration have destroyed their belief and weakened their ability.

If I have follow nairaland advice about rental fee, I won't have this vehicle

Plenty of drivers are looking for vehicles, some got frustrated and do other jobs.
So at 22 you are still sucking ur mom breast. With no brain. My big bro work hard. Stop forming what you are not.

Meanwhile Monday was not bad

Rubbiish:

Have u ever seen a black man that has ever agreed to be making profit in any business no matter how successful it is?

mrsage:


That's not the point. I gave a scenario with figures then asked the question.

If you earn N2,635 as income from Mm2 to Phase 1 ( 1 hour ) calculate all the cost involved and tell me how you will make profit.

We all get carried away by the turnover we earn daily or weekly as the case may be.

Sir, with respect to those writing negative feedback about the business, I think that THEY HAVE SEEN ALL.
Your first trial was about 8 cars if I'm not mistaken. That's #6.4m if each car costs 800k. Sir, obviously you are a rich man. And you disposed all the cars and bought another 5? Come on, it's unfair of you to think others (who ain't as rich) are impatient or don't know how to do business because they expect to reap as soon as possible from their investment.
....THEY HAVE SEEN ALL... Gazzuzz is an automechanic and he complained about the business, please don't belittle his opinions, you claimed a particular driver worked for him and still works for you. Maybe the guy turned a new leaf when he joined your team, you won't know for sure, but even though I don't know that person or Gazzuzz - I know he (Gazzuzz) will take good care of his cars.
As you are a business man (a rich one at that), I love your posts, respect em too and would like to learn from you. It's a great thing you ain't discouraging drivers, God bless you for that, at the same time sir, let them know right from here that all that glitters isn't gold.

Please don't stop writing or posting here. And please do more of experience sharing that has to do with the bad part, that's where we actually learn (even though success stories are sweeter).

See am... Different strokes for different folks. My own off day na monday and Wednesday, madam will go to the movies... Sometimes I use agidi do morning till 12 and then shut down for her on those days. Saturday and Sunday are usually used to make my own share having made my rent with the weekdays. I target 15k after fuel on both days to close out the week. Mind you all my daily expenses come out of my earnings so what I have at the end of the week is banked.
Fact is some weeks you'll clean out easy, some others you'll struggle. In the end everything evens out. No job will make you a millionaire overnight so its irrational to expect that this one will. If you are able to bank 80k-100k after daily expenses in a month I don't think that's such a bad thing.

Please I want to ask is there a way to get back my money,

dru23:


Well no disrespect bro .. For me to digest what you said, you have to walk a mile in my shoe .. Have been doing for three years plus. Uber has been in Nigeria for about 4years now ,correct me if am wrong.. I dealt with managers, drivers, taken drivers to police station, lost money ,bad parts, crazy mechanic, change mechanics, change drivers, etc .. I have seen my own share of craziness .. I had to import my engine oil ,preach about it on the forum, show people my pains and gains and blood and tears.. Explain to people on forum, best cars to use and how to maintain those cars .. Mechanics did a number on me .. I finally did a 360 and turns things around.. People dru23 give up , u are not Base in Nigeria etc due to bad engine oil ,my cars packed up. I imported my own oil to use and sell. People said I can't sell enough engine oil or compete with others nobody will buy 17k oil from.. Now at times I can't keep up , I hired a female driver to drive for me ,I take a chance and roll the dice .....
Have been through hell and back .... If you have never experienced what I went through... I respectfully ask you to learn and watch what I do ..

Experience is the best teacher... if the person writing the post has not walked in my shoe , sorry I can't really take him serious. When uber was still fresh in the naija market, I join them about a year after.. Most of you guys are commenting after the fact.. It is hard to take them serous bro .. But am not upset at all ,you guys are still learning.. Until you have experience my pain, till than you are all my sons ...

With all you have detailed so far, I have not been able to see you making profits.
You lost millions which could have made some to declare bankruptcy but as a bill gate you are, you are still standing.
Profits are not made in a short while but there are so many uncertainties coming from the E-hailing COYS that affects your business models which will surely make your plans to suffer; just like when they brought that vehicles intake to 2000, fare reduction and you never can tell what they will come up with in the nearest future.
You lost millions and you have been in this for three years now. Three years is enough is for a business of such capital to start making profits plus the millions you lost which I don't see you make. The reason you are still in business is just because you another source of income that helps in keeping your fleet running.
I am not trying to choke my views on you but just to make you see clearly.

jesusson2020:
@ GforGee: I don't do more than 12 hours a day and I do only Uber.

For that particular trip I had a 1.5 surge. And Also Uber did not charge 25%. It was zero %

If I had wait for vehicles from nairaland, I won't have this vehicle.
