Omoapena: See the reason why I get pissed with these type of sentences  Lets all look at the title of this thread, If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here It says UBER PARTNER right there for everyone to see. How is djdamian not part of the aforementioned 'uber partners' ? Truth is he has every reason to be here and post his experiences here too AS A PARTNER so please drop this line in your reason for him not coming here 2 Likes |

[quote author=Djdamian post=132990020][/quote] Smiles... Should I tell you why you were not invoking the agreement on me here, if you remember, we once had issue here where people were putting most blame on you for being too stringent and inhumane, you were only trying to avoid that to happen again and that was why you were not saying you're expecting that week payment or you will invoke your charge and bail lawyer. 🤣🤣 Screenshotting only his good side,and that good side was as a result of avoiding being called out here🤣🤣🤣 To some extent, NL helped me in scaling through that deal I signed with a devil, assuming there wasn't this platform where I let people see my ordeals with you, probably you would have succeeded in invoking the agreement on me.. Why aren't you screenshotting the part I had to be begging you like a god not to invoke your lawyer on me, or, you didn't read those parts? I can see you don't want this to die down, wait till I fix my former phone screen, I will upload that side of you always threatening me with something you can overlook... |

Conner44: Yeah, he's part of uber partner, but the context of the argument, does partner have first hand experience about it? The discussion is about drivers earnings and not partners earnings... 1 Like |

Omoapena: Based on what experience exactly? That you've used a 2.4L engine vehicle, a 2.0L type, a 1.8L/1.6L one and also a 1.3L one? How many types of vehicles have you utilised on ehailing to have FACTUAL PROOF that you can't earn a certain amount of gross with a certain amount of fuel? Do you know that there are many factors and variables at play in driving and mpg? Two different drivers can not drive the exact same car along the exact same route and have the exact same fuel consumption because driving behaviour between two individuals is usually different 99% of the time? Some have heavy foots and press their throttles diffently than others, some 'coast' more than others on free stretch of roads heading to a stop, some don't even allow their tachometer rise to 2,500rpm before they let off their throttle and allow their gearbox shift up early, some brake at the last moment and leave their gearbox on 'D' even in a standstill traffic for up to 10 mins at a stretch instead of switching to 'N' or 'P' to stop their torque converter from using additional power from their engine? Do you know some drive manual gearbox vehicles which naturally have better mpg from their automatic counterparts? Some cars have different engine types but same chassis eg. Civics with 2.0L, 1.8L or 1.6L engine configurations? Most vehicles we are used to here have 8, 6 or 4 cylinder engines but a few cars actually have 5 or even 3 cylinders. I haven't even talked of mechanical issues between 2 vehicles of same models. I mean, how can you make a general sweeping conclusion that it can not be done when you are not everyone else? Why not speak for yourself? This thing is really baffling to me 4 Likes |

Omoapena: I understand what you mean, but don’t you think he also has at least some inkling of an idea in the area of distance covered as it relates to fuel consumed in his own personal day to day use of his own vehicle? He knows how much he fills and how far he rides even if he’s not using it in business but it’s still a constant. So far he’s using air conditioning and going on his merry way the only major factor will be traffic. The main thing is drivers should filter trips as best as they can this season. If you can become good in filtering trips and positioning properly you will get good results. This time is no longer that for guesswork or fastest fingers anymore. Fuel isn’t 185 naira anymore as it once was when this dashboard debate started becoming an issue here. Two different traders who have shops side by side in the same market selling the exact same items WILL NOT make the same exact amount of profit every day. It’s an individual thing and one needs to always find out new ways to make it work better for himself especially as he sees others doing better for themselves in that same line of business. We are all here to learn, criticism is wonderful but let it be something that has is not determined by factors that depend on each persons driving abilities or tool. Many are driving cars with bad Oxygen Sensors or without thermostats but they don’t care. If they were shown what they can do to improve their earnings don’t you think they would jump at it? Please, let’s try to manage each other here at least for the sake of those to come 3 Likes |

The truth is when i started following the thread it was for the traffic updates. I was benefiting from it then because some drivers were always getting harrassed by VIO and road safety and it drastically reduced when i started checking drivers timely updates here concerning those peoples positions on the roads which we are were then able to avoid. Then for those trumpeting about dumping the hustle and going to look for jobs or getting certifications . . . I'm not saying it's a bad thing but all fingers or situations are not equal. I know someone who sold his only land in the village and moved to lagos to start this ehailing just because he learned and eventually liked to drive. His own family tried to talk him out if it but he persevered. He now has another vehicle and his family joined him here before completing 2 years of his steady hustling. Mind you this person has only SSCE (if at all because i sincerely haven't seen him write at all) but he came to lagos to hustle on uber after seeing it was going to be more lucrative here than in his hometown. I know this happened like 3 years ago but assuming others like him stumbled across nairaland and into this thread today, should we now them to look for a job with their SSCE's or invest in another thing other than the ehailing he us pursuing especially when he has tried it in owerri and knew he could do better in lagos? Or should we have told him to instead use his money to get a university degree first before/while doing the ehailing without thinking if can manage his time m, focus on studying and somehow still be able to feed his family if he did so? Especially when getting a degree in a nigerian university would have cost way more money than he bought his vehicle at the initial time. * * * True Story * * * I once worked at a company that has busses running interstate. At a that time we knew the exact mpg of each vehicle in the fleet due to the amount we give drivers for fueling before each trip. Naturally some drivers were using more fuel than others and we were wondering about the reason until we made research and discovered some engines were actually more efficient than others and some drivers had peculiar driving patters that also made them use up more fuel. After further findings identified and separated the most efficient vehicles from the 'guzzlers' and we then reserved the guzzlers for new intakes and for staff runarounds or auctioned off the really bad ones. That was when I knew that tyre size too can affect mpg. Back then a Sienna with the 3mz engine would use N13,000 (circa 70 Liters) fuel from jibowu to owerri and successfully reach our terminal there with their reserve lights either on or about to come on but this depended on the traffic they met at the Onitsha Head bridge. A similar Sianna with the 2GR engine used 78 Liters of fuel (around N15,000) for the exact same trip. Now, these are the mpg differences between 2 good and efficient vehicles of same body type but different engine configurations and the same driver piloting them on different occasions back when fuel was priced at N185 per liter, now imagineyhe differencesin cost today when price is over N1,000 per Liter. After testing we now switched drivers for the same vehicles plying the same route and guess what? Some drivers were buying extra fuel at benin city or Asaba to make sure these same Sienna cars we tested got to the exact same terminal in owerri or risk their vehicle tripping off along the route between onitsha and owerri while some were saying they arrived on the same fuel they bought at gbagada here in lagos for the journey. So as you can see, it's an individual thing. Take note that's it's even easier to plan, calculate and predict your fuel consumption on long journeys like interstate trips unlike town/city runs where many other factors come into play. So please, because someone says he used 'so - so and so' liters of fuel to drive 'so - so and so' kilometres and made 'so - so and so' amount as gross doesn't mean he must be lying because you yourself can't achieve same results no matter how hard you try. What you should do instead is become open minded and carry out a research by asking the right people the right questions to know if there is something you're doing wrong (maybe in your driving habits, positioning or the type of trips you pick) or something else entirely is hampering your efforts (maybe a mechanical issue with the vehicle you're using but unaware of/managing or just simply using an inefficiently sized vehicle) We are all different here in everything except the same drive and zeal to earn something tangible using the time and tools we have in ehailing. Let us have one mind and keep our differences in opinions of each other aside and focus on what really matters. MAKING THE MOST OUT OF THIS BUSINESS WHILE WE ARE STILL IN IT . . . simple 😕 Enjoy your weekend people 5 Likes |

Barbiturate: No it's not. Cheerful knows I love this thread more than the group. Many things I learned and achieved has one way or another linked to nairaland. Very many people I've met or done business with over the years and even threads we have created to impart our own knowledge to fellow nairalanders on one obscure topic or another. It's how this forum was initially built to be. Being here, between 2005 and 2015 was just good. I really don't understand what happened ever since That's why I stopped using my former moniker. So when I banter with Gen Z nairalanders my old buddies won't come across my posts 😒 Truth is, i wish there wasn't a telegram group I wish every discussion, learning and tip sharing was happening here so others can benefit in one way or another exactly as I benefited in the beginning. Plus . . . I dey owe some people money for telegram  and as i dey login to read update sometimes dem dey catch me  2 Likes |

If someone says they use 20 thousand naira fuel to make 100k, just tell him congratulations...You can probe further by asking how? If he's generous enough he can tell you how? Pls note, you may try it and still struggle to achieve that feat, that doesn't mean that it's impossible... I have made some crazy figures that are unbelievable in d past..It happens. If you feel the person is not telling the truth, say it and MOVE ON! You don't need to dwell too much on it.... I'm tired of reading the same thing all d time... Well, my trip for today; Gross: 250k Fuel: 35k Thank you.... How do you respond to this? Just tell me congratulations.... Atleast if I reach my akant I no see 250k, then reality beckons...Simple abi |

Omoapena: This sentence here is very powerful Just imagine this thread wasn't here or it was BUT we were bickering back and forth as we do today what would you have done? You came here and tired your story out and members here lightened your weight by reasoning with djdamian to let the matter slide. Truth is, if he really was as diabolic as you make him out to be he could make the matter turn upside down but I myself personally spoke on your side in that matter because you let us know you we're almost at the end of your tunnel . . . Yes, I conner sympathised with you. We all are a community here on nairaland, we are all supposed to be helping each other especially on threads like this. E.g did you remember donB ever helped you before? No. Even once upon a time when anoyher member, johncris started insulting donB over some flimsy stuff I reminded him that this same person you're abusing has once upon a time taken you as a brother and a friend and out of his pocket sent you a token as a gift . . . no matter how big or small the amount is, it really means something for someone on a faceless forum to help another person without expecting anything in return. It's like what people do for family 2 Likes |

Omoapena: Stop blabbing ...I don't even know why Damian is responding to u back to back. U guys have messed up the last 5pages for no good discussion. What makes u think even if u are on HP that u can carry car out of town without informing ur Partner? Was it not in ur contract? Paying him at the end of the week is exclusive of that fact. -Third party driving the car -Out of town movement -Car improvements and customizations amongst other things must first be approved by the car owner. U can do as u like with ur own, but it's not too hard to follow ur agreement with someone else. |
