AOB1: A lot of people have advised you and I agree with them. One thing I'll like to add is, ehailing is not a job for the lazy. If you know you're lazy, it's better you stick to your job. Else, you will one day wish you had stayed on that job. 6 Likes |

OJURONGBE1: I don't get you o...when u work in ur office, do stand or seat? How many hours do u walk around? Nothing stops u from taking walk breaks when driving. If u want to compare office work that u do little or nothing with uber work just say it...stop arguing dilly dally. Better still if u are interested in knowing how others do it year in year out , just ask rather than try to puncture holes in ones statements. |

1daboi: What is your point? That anybody earning what u cannot earn is cheating? Abeg, u guys should change your perspective. Maybe u will come and live with some of us before u belief. I always find this kind of thinking insulting to hard waiting drivers. When u see someone that does something that u think is impossible, ask how they are doing it, and stop castigating, that's how to grow. If u aren't interested then ignore it, don't rubbish it. 1 Like |

Pearl1910: No right thinking person with a working brain would choose Uber over KPMG or Gtb except he/she is a contract staff. Guy, driving on Uber has taken a lot of folks off the street & reduce the burden of unemployment but none of these fellas would want to keep driving for long. 19 Likes |

ndubuisi2021: If u didn't experience it, u would have argued if u where told pick-up guys make 30k in a day. But from their earnings they pay their motor-boy, other union fees, and access fees in estates and streets. Every job comes with its own stress and reward, I can't drag u if 5k profit in 4hrs doesn't interest you, everybody has what moves them. It wouldn't be bad if u pointed out a better/easier way of making more money. You see this life ehhh...just find ur small pond and be swimming inside it, don't mind people that tell u "ur pond is too small", "d water is not clean" etc. If u must listen to anyone, its d one that swims in a river and wants to show u d way there. 21 Likes 1 Share |

Pearl1910: You're the one who should read my question slowly. Can you compare the burnout, weight loss, complexion change, fatigue & stress you're subjected to driving on Uber to corporate jobs? Corporate jobs like Banking, consulting, construction, Audit, insurance, IT, Legal services, teaching/lecturing, Health services, FCMG etc) 10 Likes |

AOB1: Pls don’t resign your job except it’s not a professional or technical job ( I mean job dt ur experience will count, dt your next employer will need recommendations or reference from your boss) I will not advise anybody in Nigeria to resign job that you can put on CV for this hustle even if they are paying you 50k per month stay in your job wether you be teacher or secretary no resign at all. Do ur job and hustle by side, cos in next 3/5yrs your experience will help you to change jobs or If you want to relocate your experience matters. This driving will only put food on your table and small money to pay bills but nothing on paper. Risk dey here too, u no read say dem kill driver last week. Dis side no HMO no pension no life insurance. Na God hand we Dey. I repeat don’t resign at all, buy your car and hustle by side. No allow dashboard deceive you ooh. You can’t net 50k, on Your first 2 months driving your own car in Lagos, if you do law enforcement will collect half cos u must fall prey, bolt will dash u 1st warning blocking. Danfo will collect one side mirror. Until 3rd month before you go begin see small change. 12 Likes |

OJURONGBE1: Baba...speak for yourself, u don't know me. Don't quote me out of context and don't make sweeping statements or generalisations. Why did u add except? What I have accomplished in ehailing in 5yrs, I couldn't do it if I stayed in my paid employment for 10yrs... If pay is good why not, but anything less than what am currently earning, I rather continue my driving and have peace of mind, flexibility and freedom. I can't go and sit in an office and month end u pay me 100k or 150k or even 200k when I can make that in weeks. But las las all man for himself sha. Do what works for you, No query my own, cos I no query ur own. 5 Likes 1 Share |

AOB1: You mentioned this months back, that you wanted to get a cooperative from workplace to buy a corrolla n all. I thought you had already started sef. 1. Don't leave your job for now. 2. If you can afford it, buy a direct tokunbo. Don't allow people sweet talk you into buying naija used, if it's your first car, then buy direct tokunbo. At this early stage, don't get entangled with Lagos Kazeems 3. Don't chase target. If I were you, I would focus on driving safely ( not bashing anyone n not dragging with other road users) Forget the income peddled here, it's not yet for you.Pardon me..... you are still a rookie, there's a learning curve. Start when you close from work in the evening. Work mainly on weekends. 4. You must drop the typical Civil service mentality to succeed in this hustle... In E-hailing, every kobo will be earned, no leave bonus, no sick leave,no repair allowance. You do nothing, you get nothing. 5. Lastly, when you start making money, start a saving plan n follow it vigorously. The savings is for the exit plan. The hustle is a stop - gap. If one isn't careful, E-hailing has a way of sucking one in, you will make money; yes, but in terms of skills /personal development, one will be found wanting. 20 Likes |

OJURONGBE1: See guy, I worked in a Consulting firm, we closed 11pm some days even when closing time is 5pm, we worked Saturdays and Sundays when there is a deadline or on a project, slept in hotels and travelled out of town almost every month. No time for yourself, family or social life. I didn't have one single flesh. Work was stressful die, I was on same cloth size for more than 5yrs, my weight didn't add, I come dey fear say I get HIV ![]() It wasnt my passion and the only thing I miss in resigning is career progression...but I don't regret because, if its pay and achievement I have passed my contemporaries and ehailing has compensated me very very well. Almost all my riders keep saying are you sure u r the one in this picture, u look younger, fatter and fresher in real life, I just dey smile. I tell them I was suffering when I took that picture. I know there are jobs u just chill and flex, work small and get fat pay at the end of the month but they are few (and I dey find that type; IT/better oil company) Majority of the jobs out there are stressful and small salary. And when I speak, I am speaking out of my experience, I am not saying people should resign from their jobs and do ehailing but there are some conditions u look at and know that ehailing is better. At the end its still a personal decision when u look at what drives u, ur goals and aspirations. You can also tell us ur experience and preference. 8 Likes |

Pearl1910: It's okay bro, not really dragging or arguing. Just trying to analyze issues from a general perspective. And actually your profit was N2500 from that 5k. Don't forget the 2k fuel that was used, at least 1k for miscellaneous on top of the 5k after all the running around. How much come remain? Bolt almost made more from you than you did for yourself with the N1,600 they took from the 8k. That's why one will not see the money after netting 10k a day. Na only about 2k go dey your pigeon hole. You will be wondering where the money had gone. I'm just using the earnings that you posted as a case study which will be helpful to all of us going forward. Don't take it personal please. 4 Likes |

One thing that I just know is that you can not know the accurate temperature of a river until you deep your leg into it. Whatever the temperature is, it affects us in different ways. The same water that you think is very cold might seem warm to me. It all depends on each person's level of adaptability. What am I trying to say? You can't know how well you can succeed in this job until you start doing it. It's easy to conjure figures out of your imaginations based on what you hear or read on a daily basis but you can never understand the realities of those figures until you start trying to earn them. I left a corporate job in 2016 to start E-Hailing because of the things I was told by a neighbor who was into it. My job was very stressful & I had to work every day of the week with just one day off. I was desperately looking for an alternative because the job was killing me & I was no longer happy with myself. One of my off days happened to be a neighbor's birthday so we were all gathered in the compound having general discussions. That was how I found out about E-Hailing & I did some research on the internet. After a few weeks, I decided to start by hustling on my off days. Fortunately, my boss traveled & was away for a few months so I had the entire weekend to myself. By the time he got back, I was had my resignation letter prepared. Right now, I've not driven for about a year because I got tired of the intricacies of the job. The insults, the extortion by lastma & Co, the traffic, etc. I just got tired & the lock down made me realize how stressful and mentally draining the job had been for me. By the time the lock down was over, I was too mentally lazy to go back to the hustle. From personal experience, there's money in the E-Hailing hustle but it's easier to make money than save it. If you don't have a very strict personal financial discipline, all you'd see is the figures on your dashboard. Before you leave your corporate job for E-Hailing there are a few questions you need to answer. 1. Do you love driving? - Driving has to be fun & a hobby to you if you must enjoy the job. 2. Do you ha e the strength for long hour driving? 3. How well can you manage your temper. 4. How well can you handle your own PR? 5. Do you have the mental confidence to manage crisis? 6. How tolerant are you? 7. Are you sure you're physically fit? The answer to these questions will go a long way to help you determine whether or not you're going to be able to handle the E-Hailing hustle. The truth is, anyone can survive the hustle if they are really determined to. 20 Likes |
