Good for you bro. The word bastard is not a bad word now. It means a person that does not have a father now abi. So if you look at it. If you look at it , your father gets old and dies at 100 years old . What does that make you ? You are a bastard now in that context. A poor bastard than and been poor bastard would u have money to bury him ? So for me if given a choice , I rather be a wealthy bastard o. At least I will be able to care for my family. You bitch ass n@:/+r.

I've not driven on uber/taxify since this year. I've been busy with other business. I still read comments here and i hv some uber/taxify friends who keep me posted. I learnt request has drop drastically. I know it will come to that and even worst. Uber started very well. 2006 cars with exam b4 u can drive on uber. Taxify came, uber became scared and drop cars to 2000 model even d exam people now write for drivers. Taxify collect any how drivers once u can drive. The standard is bastardized. Taxify don't have standard at all. Gone are those days when u see graduates and A'level drivers on uber platform. I hope they bring back that standard b4 it get worst.

I have a 2005 toyota corolla for 35k weekly rental fee. I want an experienced Uber/taxify driver with 4.5 rating staying in surulere, yaba and it’s environs.

N.B: I am willing to sell off the car to the driver after sometime, i’ve put up a corolla for hire purchase but decided to do rentals with this, this car is in a very good condition.

GAZZUZZ:


as long as it's just to vacuum and recharge no problem.

Seems a lot of us here don't really understand business dynamics that's why we are arguing about who invests more or makes more money.

every business has its own peculiar dynamics, bit generally speaking, in most businesses, investors think long term. it
I think here in Nigeria, we generally have a get rich quick mentality, that's why we are making so much noise on driver vs partner and who makes more money.

@ olaboy, jpworld and the rest, I hope you know that uber didn't start here in Nigeria, neither did the principle of car rentals to drivers for use on Uber.

let's even take a look at USA where most rental companies buy brand new cars to give to uber drivers.

they spend about $30,000 to buy a car, and yet they collect average of $300 as weekly rentals from drivers. that's about a meager 1% of the cost of the car! and yet you don't see them complaining that the drivers are cheating them.

but here that we buy tokunbo cars averaging N2m, and collect a higher % of rentals compared to what is obtainable in USA, we the ones shouting up and down and wanting to break the internet/Nairaland. while the USA counterpart giving out brand new cars with lower rentals see it as a good business. they even add a lot of perks Nigerian partners cannot even dream of like discount on gas, free emergency services or car exchange etc all these on to just 1% rentals o!

Abeg make all of una go rest, no be by force, If you no like the business, face another one or create your own model and get willing drivers on board with your model.

Bastard means a child born of parents not married to each other or a despicable child born out of an illegitimate relationship not one who looses his father, can you see that you display your ignorance in public and won't humble yourself to learn, the more reason why you need to be adopted and re-groomed

NextProdigy:


A brand new Kia Rio costs N8,200,000 while a brand new Hyundai Acccent costs N7,600,000. 1% of the two cars is N82,000 for the Kia Rio and N76,000 for the Hyundai Accent. Can any driver pay that in Nigeria?

Just wondering!

What is happening to taxify? My friend got a trip from festac to Abraham Adesoyan after Ajah and d fare was N1,400. Please taxify should do something about their app

I have a corolla I gave to a driver and another corolla I drive on weekends aside having a 9-5 pm job, I am not a lazy driver, it's such a shame that a lowlife like you think that travelling outside the country and hustling makes you a made man, I pity the womb that carried you for 9months, just being outside the country does not make you exposed if your thinking faculty is deficient in the required nutrients, Like i said earlier I have 2 cars in uber which migth not be up to the number of sub-standard cars you have but my investment is not in uber alone, you are so childish that you can't see beyond your Michael Jackson plastic nose , I have learnt from the likes of carshopper , gazzuzz, Romeo, ogunvic and so many other frequent contributors on this platform because am a good listener and appreciate people than know better than me but as for you I beleive a cadava is better than you

Abeg I'm officially fed up with this Uber. Today I got just 4 trips. It's annoying I live in Ogudu. I'm considering facing my photography business jejely. Anyone interested my 2007 Honda accord full ops is available for 1.1, I can't continue with this

iyaegin:


Bro something seems to be wrong somewhere and maybe you need to sometimes move around like now tomorrow morning i expect you to wake up by 5.30/6 and set a destination trip for Lekki/ajah and from dere utilize the sure 2.0 or more surge be cos its the first monday of the month.but beyond this if i may ask what are your confirmation and cancellation rates like if confirmation is below 90% your requests would reduce same if you have high cancellation rates of about 20% or more you will have issues so this is it.Target confirmation of minimum 90% and cancellation of maximum 10% and you shud start getting more requests from dere..hope this helps but also like romeo said dont just sit in a spot after about 10mins change location and always target where you will most likely get rides e.g from Ogudu always target shoprite or Allen and also keep an eye on Airport too..

slavemerchant:


You mean that one that does not know the difference between the mall and shoprite which is a shop within the mall

For your information, I drive my own car. I do only what is realistic cos I’ve realized that health is wealth.

I heard u saying driving 15hours daily will give 160k, I never knew u have a calculator for uber. My friend, pple wait in LEKKI for 90minutes now before request comes. It was never like dat before. The only days u get back to back requests now is on weekends. Stop sitting at d comfort of your home and be calculating what happens on d road. U base ur conclusions on what drivers post on nairaland, but what u don’t know is drivers won’t post d days they didn’t make enough.

medd422:
information reaching me now is that Ogataxi is giving out 05 Corollas for 2million at 20k per week. Drivers should quickly take advantage and emancipate themselves from modern day slavery. God bless you all

medd422:



Driving a car 15 hours everyday is different from working in an office 9 - 5. Never compare d two. Ur 1.8m Corolla is not worth more than my life. If there’s life, there’s hope

You're still not getting the point Sir.

Being an uber driver does not make you a poor person or a second class citizen. Also being an uber driver does not mean you're not a car owner. Being an uber driver or a partner is not mutually exclusive Sir.

So some of us just catching fun at the level of ignorance being spilled on here.

And for the record, I'll rather not be a bastard of any form by ridiculing the honest hard work my parent went through in order to get me quality education.
