Exactly, I wonder how people from your region especially your likes reason. When people like you can't read and understand, what kind of life do you live? It's a pity.

One more car u need to look into when it comes to fuel consumption is the 2005 civic, it is highly fuel efficient, strong, less problematic and also not expensive to maintain...
It's not a ride that will get u a lot of offline trips but it will surely get the job done.

Can this type of corolla get you much offline trips?

@GAZZUZ, iyaegin, protocol.... Others I didn't mention should also contribute what they think as well.

Tezza business solutions

I trained with Tezza some years back. I've worked with 1stimage, they are really good.

Nobody really teaches automation in depth tho. test automation is a skill that needs to be mastered on the job with proper projects. And test automation requires programming skills. So the person has to learn at least one language to build scripts. I.e java, c++ , python, ruby, etc. java is best tho. It's just basic programming, You don't need to be a guru to do test automation.

Test automation can also be learnt online. There are so many online resources. A very good place to learn software testing without even training is guru99 .com.

Thank you very much for this. God bless you.
Actually We've enrolled in 1stImage Consultancy.

I am interested in the automation training too

Someone gave me a contact of where the training is done in Lekki starting 24th of this month. They said it's N60K for 3days. If you're interested I'll give you their number or address.

OK,

So we should equally be grateful to banks and private organisations. It's your type that believe that just because someone works for them, you are doing them a big favour. That's a poor mentality. Change it. Everyone needs everyone, drivers and partners inclusive

Leave that olaboy, na poverty dey worry am and too he's a small boy. Our people say "when a small boy talks, you'll know his age". Because someone has a car and gives to a driver, he thinks he's arrived. I pity some people shaa

I dey tell you

GetUmad:
for him to have used the word "emit" in the same sentence with a thermostat, he's not qualified to sell an ordinary side mirror.

olaboy1:
This is getting interesting. I think drivers should be grateful that someone is willing to put 2m Naira down to employ his service so he could feed his family.

You should go and see how that man made that 2m Naira before running your mouth. Stop been ungrateful in this period of recession.
I have never heard of an employee making more money than his/her employer, it doesn’t matter whether it’s e-hailing business.

The sharing formula should be 70/30 after Uber fee, fuel, data, car wash and miscellaneous.

Investor takes 70%, driver takes 30%.

Investor puts 50% aside to recoup his capital and car maintenance.
Investor takes 20% profit for his upkeep.

If investor decides to fix his money in any bank instruments, he is assured of his initial capital at the end of the year. People go into business so they can recoup their capital and even re-capitalize with a higher margin.

By the way why are partners not opting for percentage, that way everyone will share the burden of downtime, more like EARN AS YOU GO.

My dear stop this display of arrogance. That you own a car doesn't make you God. Why will you say all these things, are drivers not men like you? That you have the opportunity to buy a motor not even car doesn't mean another person can't but his own tomorrow. Tell me what makes you better than they are, because you have a car? Please grow up. Let me tell you, you are not doing any body any favour by giving him your car. Both of you are in business. Buy 5cars and insult every driver that comes your way let's see whose business that will fall. Drivers are the life of this business.

LR no get blood. For yoir info, I'm a professional Car dealer

OK, e be like na electric cars you dey deal on

Lokoyen:


Fan wasn't running direct. In fact I told d mechanic never to remove d thermostat. I didn't notice the over heating on time until I noticed my oil began to get short, in had to buy oil every 2 weeks. Wen I removed the thermostat it was too late.

I had to rebuild d engine and it's over almost a year now and no issues.

Was it that your car was overheating for two weeks and you didn't notice or the overheating for a day started causing oil shortage in your engine and you feel thermostat was the cause of the overheating?
Thermostat can be the cause of the overheating if your thermostat was bad. All you needed to do was to replace with a good one not remove.
Secondly any engine that shorts oil has gone bad. What I know excess overheating does it to damage your gasket and worst burn you top cylinder. I've never heard that overheating causes oil shortage to the engine shaa.

Opoki:
Thermostat is like electronic appliance, while some consume 110v, some consumes 220v.

Thermostat from country like Finland, Germany, Iceland, Canada etc emit more heat because of their region.

A car made by Innoson by all standard must have Thermostat but will not emit equivalent heat to your engine like those countries mentioned so your car will run all smoothly by the absence of the thermostat but may gulp a little more fuel at start pending the engine is warm.

We will all mock Innoson on this forum if he had built a car with no thermostat.

The thing is a 2 way thing about car, maintenance culture and the engine age.

I expect someone to understand this piece.

Sorry but your comparism is wrong. Thermostat and electric current are not the same meaning thermostats don't have anything like output or input voltage.
Thermostat blocks the flow of coolant to the radiator until the engine gets warm up to certain temperature level. If you remove thermostat, once you start your engine, coolant starts flowing to radiator then to engine which is bad to the engine. So if your thermostat is bad, it will not automatically open for coolant to flow to the radiator when engine gets warm and that causes over heating. What you should do is to replace once noticed.

Lokoyen:


Same way I followed their nonsense advise on auto section and I ruined my engine.

I learnt d hard way!!! Thermostat ko thermocool ni!

Sorry can you share with us what happened and on which type of vehicle.

Monaco2:
Bros no talk am o, the thermostat of a thing is only good in the western world o.... My car almost got ruined on the highway few months after buying it in 2014 cause of the thermostat n it happened again in 2015 with another car I bought ...it doesn't cost much to remove on both occasions I gave my mechanic 1k each.... According to him Nigeria is too hot to leave thermostat in the vehicle

Lol... Bros first of all, go and read the meaning of thermostat. It is a device that regulates the vehicle engine temperature from getting too hot or too cold and that is why you have a temperature gauge on your dashboard. Every vehicle engine has a normal temperature it works on so thermostat keeps the engine steady on that temperature. If your car is overheating regularly and everything is confirmed OK, them check or replace your thermostat not removing it. If your engine works constantly below average temperature, the engine will be dying slowly.
Innoson cars have thermostats, Peugeot assembled in Kaduna have thermostats. Please guys read, don't listen to mechanic's that didn't go to school.

So that means any wife that asks for her husband password and he declines, she is free to boil his phone in pot of soup?
Or soak his phone in soapy water, as she so desires?
It is only men who are big cheats that get insanely jealous, they go about sniffing their wives' panties and cutting their phones in half
Who knows what the poor woman has seen already in that house
Her life is not safe, because she might cough one day and her husband will separate her head from her neck in anger
As for people that take all these nairaland boys' comment to heart , just know that
1. 90% of sensible nairaland males dont comment anymore so scallywags have taken over
2. Most of them are products of romance section. They are conjified losers that are too broke to have a good life, or get classy women, so they hate and pick on any female that comments intelligently.
3. Most of them are still eating mummy thank you, so......they know they cant afford to get married the next 10 years, they are envious of people that have settled down with their families. No wonder they bash wives at any opportunity they get.

Why is it that woman kg these days hate telling the truth. Only God knows what the man must've suspected that made him do that. Maybe his life is being discussed on that phone. Let the man send that bitch packing. She will poison him.

When you are done arguing, set out and make your money. It's yours. Not mine..

Am not arguing with you. Am correcting an impression. Am an active uber driver, I wasn't making much when I started and experience showed me what the issue was which was what I mentioned. Don't say things to discourage new people who intend to join the train. If you have any other thing aside what I said, say it now or from now shut your mouth.

Olesekeniwoye:


Very profitable...

Those crying, joined just like all gullible Nigerians running into a venture cos they were seeing earnings screenshots...

There is more to UBER than turning on your app and receiving requests.

Am out. 1.7X awaits me

That's a lie. Those who complain about Uber are those using the wrong tool which is cars with big engines. If you use a car with 1.6 or even 1.8ltr engine for Uber, without all these positioning look for boost, you will still make your money.
There's nothing much there so don't make it look like there's a special coaching one needs before making money on uber. It's all about targeting and observing people's movement at different times then you'll know where to be at sometimes. Also check boost calender especially on weekends and know where there"ll be boost and the time. What else oga?

adeyemodavid:


Arizona can you help me get a taxify driver?

My brother I wish I can but I no fit o.
You fit still get from here shaa, those nigazz looking for a car to drive, you can just call one of them.

Olesekeniwoye:

Sorry. Each with his strategy
I can't turn on both apps together...
I enjoy UBER alone.
Enjoy what works for you.

That's another point and it means you're using a smaller car with good fuel economy.

deedee44:

Wait till you have an issue with your fare, that's when you will know your true friend. From experience, one will abandon you while one will be there for you

Till you have which issue? I know you're talking about taxify, when you have issues with your fares, you'll complain but they won't do anything but Uber will do a refund or top up. The question is, how many times do you have issues with your fares in a month.
Don't expect win-win situation in business everytime.
Because you're scared of loosing maybe N2500 when you have issue you'll now be labouring for nothing in Uber.
It's your choice though..

slavemerchant:
'

Infact uber is a big cheat, the fares are so so ridiculous, a rider asked me recently after drop-off that how come the trip is so cheap that there must be something wrong with my app, am not on taxify but am getting onboard this week and dumping uber for good, I don tire

Uber is rubbish. I had to stop and I won't drive again until I get a car that qualifies for taxify which also must have small engine. I'm looking at Kia Rio 2006 or Hyundai accent same model. I can't suffer for nothing.

ndizzle:

From the samples on display, its safe to say Uber is more rider friendly than driver while taxify is more driver friendly than rider.
The taxify pickup location my have an unseen boost. U never can tell.

There's no boost anything. Taxify pays divers than uber, I have compared my uber trips with Taxify with guys that did same distance, Taxify always tops uber fares by N250 to N350. Some serious get up to N400.
Even some of my riders always ask me how do uber drivers break even especially those that use bigger cars that uber fares are too cheap.

Olesekeniwoye:

With a 1.3L city you can't go wrong.

But with a 2.4L, doomsday is ahead.

I flogged my toks Camry over 820miles last week.
How much did I make
Peanuts

Exactly my mind. Mine is 2.2 Camry. Very discouraging in terms of fuel consumption. I have to stop, looking for a smaller car...
