My account has not been restricted yet, I just saw the push notification but I didn't open it.

Why would they want to impose the Hackney permit on drivers self.
Wetin concern them with that one?
Even, the Almighty Bolt doesn't require the permit, so, I wonder the reason behind their own new requirement for it.
Make dem remove that thing from their requirements.

This guy must be one of the criminals on indrive.
I can't count the number of times I've seen him make similar requests on indrive.
It is either he's a criminal or a driver that just wants to frustrate unsuspecting drivers.
I just people have not been accepting his false requests sha.

Read your post and I can’t stop laughing for some reasons. We that started out when bolt have their office in lekki phase 1 knows better. I wasn’t mad at Felicity for no reason, but as someone that has been long in this hustle, the least I expect is for him to insult drivers and try to drive- shame the ones that have left. Which does mean he won’t drive one day. I have seen enough in and out. Nah situations they determine our fate in most case.

For me I’ll say it is not about what you think sometimes, but people perception. Just like Baze will say a driver can’t save up to a million in this business and they will also say drivers borrow this and that. An average Nigerian does not even think an Uber driver can eat 3 meals in a day. So why won’t they look down on one? I have completed 7000 plus rides, if not more. So it is ok to have pick issues with few riders and the first thing they attack is your hustle. If we all remember days riders will threaten to report and take away source of livelihood, because they felt one is completely useless and can’t get any other thing doing outside this. One girl don tell me say you get life nah em you come deh do Uber. I pull over and scold her that day. Someone that is still begging over the phone for a 50k job.

I have a boss that told me something this year, because he always want me to leave the shore of this country. His daughter gained admission to study out there for 2 years. And he told me you are dropping her at the airport as an undergraduate, you may be the one to go pick her as a graduate. Think about it. Jesu! Omo the alarm still deh ring in my head. As much as I have been working for him for 2 years and he is always in and out of the country at 60. He obviously know what he is telling me. We sit and chat. He still called me yesterday. On Friday we are on the phone for almost an hour. People that hangs around you see the potential in you that you can’t even see.

Good or bad is relative. Won’t say more than this. I am not ashame of the hustle. Anyone that knows me, will tell you I’m fine in my own lane. E still get some skele wey you go hide game from. It’s all about view and understanding the monkey you want to catch. I don’t know why we always do this. I have neighbors and friends I don’t even know what they do for a living or why they earn. An average Uber driver is fighting low self esteem for real.

Funny thing is, if you don't get external funds and you still rely on daily money from driving, you will still goan pick that girl as a graduate when she's done. Either una accept am or not, nobody dey grow in this hustle, you will just be a living thing... One small car issue can chop all your one month profit.

Nothing pains me, it's just the fact that both you n him doesn't have sense that there's offer n there's acceptance, you can either accept or you decline.
It's what the company can afford, if you feel it's too low, start up your damn company and choose to pay higher..

Dummies


I still don't understand how you people reason, you're driving someone without any expense on you and you're saying 5k isn't a good offer....
chai
If we start comparing with other complex work, you will know 5k for a day work isn't bad

Lol. I don't blame you for thinking this way. Someone will gross 30k or way less on Bolt with about 13k fuel plus hard labour for a whole.day. If you break down all expenses, what he made is not actually far from this your 5k mark. 30k on paper, 5k in bank account.

Na experience you use arrive at this 5k. No one is seeing what you are seeing. Trust me, I understand you very well and know how you came about this benchmark ; . It's what the business have been redeuced to lately.

This is all my SUBMISSION!!!I grew up in the middle of all those baba yellow cab taxi driver, from Alaka taxi park, beside the MRS filling station, Iponri taxi park under the bridge, bode Thomas taxi park. I know baba Jamiu, Alhaji Ayinde, Hadji beshi. We no make money reach Dem, two or three trips a day and they have their 20k net and they are back to the park, sleeping, playing draft..Mostly Muslims with 2/3 wife's and plenty concubines....As at today, the ones that are still alive now are very wretched, the lucky ones are those that were able to train their kids and those ones in return got good job.....In this economy,there is no HEADS OUT in this Hussle..That girl that you took to the airport last year, na you BOLT go still send go airport after two years, to go pick am, just pray make surge dey....If your veterans are making REAL money, you think they will still be driving till 4am...Most of the oldies here have been on this hussle for 5-8 years on a minimum ...they said they have strategy to net 30-40k daily.
30k * 350 days ( not 365 , tho I know they drive 365) = 10.5M x 5 yrs (minimal) = 52.5M
Do you think any of this boys fit boast of 2.5M out of that 52.5M right now!

What do you think it will be for the Uber driver, considering the number of hours we put on this hussle.......some of you drive between 12 and 18 hours EVERYDAY!!!!

Agba!!!...u for tell us since say ur papa na oko ashewo, we would have taken your advise more seriously. Thanks but no thanks, even Civil servant and Bankers that didn't plan their lives are miserable, sick and poor in old age. This is not peculiar to drivers. The only govt workers enjoying old age in Nigeria are people who were in the armed forces whose pension is paid for life, (not the contributory pensions that OBJ brought) or people who have well to do and caring children. At some point, ur contributory pension will finish. Wait and see, in the next 50 years where we will be, thank God for Internet. Although I don't know about you, "see yo see Ebony" since u feel there is no time to enjoy this life, but according to my own scriptures, I will live to see my great grand children.

In case you didn't really understand, let me elaborate further for you. What I was saying in essence is, this job collects from you as much as it gives you. You aren't taking anything out of it if you are not careful. The tool you use for the job is a very delicate one.

Lemme break it further... For a teacher that earns let's say 100k a month... You can easily plan your life around that 100k and live fine to your standard. Your school principal or proprietor is not taking from that money. You don't buy chalk nor duster out of it. But this hustle, I bet there is none of us that calculates our gross and remove maintenance money before declaring our nets.... Once you remove BOLT commission and Fuel money, all the rest is your net and you spend all on whatever you want... The day ordinary tyre will burst, you will start begging your friends for money to buy a new one... Okada will remove your mirror, headlamp will break, bumper will remove, battery will die, shock will burst... All these money will come out from where?

Even a Carpenter will use one hammer for years before he buys another one. But you, you are always repairing your tool here n there.

Ohh, o boy not really o, he's actually retired now.Anyone that graduated in unilag might probably know him, the prof that links the 'gown with the town' ... He's an Ondo man and always very proud of it, quite clear even in his intonation...I won't ask about yours! People who usually call out other's dad on a platform like this, for me is just one of those trait you see in guys that does your kind of job in and out, everyday...atleast you will need to insult/fight between 5 to 10 olosho/other road user everyday...
One thing that this job takes from you is the ability to THINK, ability to rationalize, ability to make clear-cut decision...soon, you won't be able to fit in, you won't be able to engage intelligently as evident in you and others that cannot , but insult! It is on this platform that I see someone telling another guy to meet him somewhere so they can fight, yes BOLE-KAJA. Not your fault tho,na the environment..The reason you need to get out of it.
FYI, I will continue to encourage drivers to please, know that this is not a JOB, it should only be a stop gap, am working on a friend's cv here, the last time he submitted a cv was 2019 because u tell am to dey pursue surge..Now he needs a new engine (400k) and he can't pay! Those are the people I am fighting for...If I need a new engine of 2 million today, if I no get cash, I'll ask my HR to process it, I won't pay more than 3% interest rate and they deduct from salary...I don bid 350k for KIA RIO yesterday,(I will snap my screen once I get to the office), those access bank RIO, I'll probably get it! I have work without a break for almost 14 years straight, do you have an idea what my contributory pension is, because I notice you like 'chukking' mouth in what you have absolutely no knowledge about,aside from gist you're privilege to hear from your rider...if I withdraw 25% today, I will buy 2 toks Corolla....
Folks, don't let anyone tells you they make your salary in two days, ask them if their life mirrors it! They make so much money but when you open indriver, a driver is looking for bat3, another needs spanner, this one needs jumper cable but yet they make my salary in two days! Shiorrrrr, we know the figures don't add up!

I started this thing in 2018. Did rental for 2 years, resumed after COVID break with my own car, Naija used 04 civic. I used it for a year, sold it and bought a Tọks car that I'm using now.
January last year, I moved from Gbagada to a highbrow estate in a good part of the island. (Not Lekki 1 though)
I've gone on holiday twice this year, one was in Accra.
I can afford to buy 20k petrol everyday.
I don't work till 4am for any reason. I start at 6 and should be on my way home by 6. The only reason I may push it is if my madam is out too.
I don't travel by road anymore, unless there's no other viable means to travel to that place.
I settle my different financial obligations with some ease.
I'm also married to a very beautiful woman.
Looking back, I know how far I've come.
Quality of life for me is very ok, by Naija standards.
Do you think I'm growing or not?

Now, in every line of work it's the same thing. I don't know if you saw the HORRIBLE BOSSES trend on Twitter some time ago. You probably have carried several people who have either complained to you or to someone while in your car about how toxic or messed up their work place is. How unrealistic targets are choking them. Women and even men being sexually abused and emasculated but they can't leave or refuse to leave for different reasons. You know these things.
Everybody is in that job to be able to afford a certain quality of life, to be able to meet up with their obligations. These experiences are not peculiar to you as a driver. You just have the experiences peculiar to drivers.
This is the fundamental of human existence. It also ties in closely to your self esteem and sense of self. If you aren't meeting up with your obligations, it's likely you'll feel emasculated a lot when you have encounters with people who you believe are doing better.
People in this country start earning an ok salary from manager level. Now ask yourself how many people from there up do you have. It's a pyramid my brother, it narrows as you go higher.
And this makes your analogy of 52m kinda curious. The 9 to 5 guy, does he have his 3m per annum complete at the end of the year?

We all try to make a life with what we have but being in the game, I don't see any reason why an Uber driver should not be able to make a relatively quality life. And use your earnings to step up. It could be starting a fleet. It could be something that's not even related. But na the same money wey Uber man make Na'im office man too go make. It's what you do with it that's the problem

All your post still shows you have zero knowledge about japa or relocation.....so the proposed plan for January 24 is now affecting those traveling this September intake...A proposed plan that key stake holders will still have a say in and they will end up reaching an equilibrium decision and you are here quoting it and still gallivanting about with your ignorance....the more you comment ...the more you display your zero knowledge....on this issue rest....invest your 24million in Nigeria and enjoy brother...nobody they drag anything with you...

If u come with rational thinking and Intelligent

That aside, u have worked for 14years straight yet u still need a loan to buy engine and u use auction before u can buy a car. I tot all our salary workers have money loaded in bank accounts. Oga, just getat before u disgrace yourself here.
In a bid to show urself, u opened ur broke ass.
Your total pension contribution can only buy 2 corolla. Ehhh God.

Just keep encouraging drivers, do what u can to help people, that's noble and I celebrate u for that. But the moment u start downgrading and tarnishing drivers, u will get a response, whether u quote me or not.

What makes u think everybody is like ur friend who can't afford to repair his car, what makes u think every fleet owner is like u who couldn't manage 2 cars?

Let me enlighten u hatchling, not every business is for everyone. Not everyone must work 9-5. Its not only working class that are traveling out, if u don't know any, atleast this year alone I can name minimum 5 people who have traveled out from this thread.

Having said that, people can still succeed in something even if they aren't called to do that thing. All they need to do is learn the tricks, secrets and basics of that job or trade. U may be a first class student or decorated army veteran but fail at a car wash business. U may be d best coder or IT guru, but can't run a printing business, u may be a business mogul but can't organize your files and emails.
Dangote, in all his spread and power failed in noodles and floor, he is struggling in sugar have u asked why? Does it mean these sectors aren't profitable??
If u didn't succeed in something, why not give ur personal experience and let it be rather than try to launch ur failure on others. Have you ever seen Gazzuzz coming here to deride drivers?
If u think all drivers are like the few u know, then U have a hole in ur head. Fill it by enlightening yourself more.

Thanks but no thanks, even Civil servant and Bankers that didn't plan their lives are miserable, sick and poor in old age. This is not peculiar to drivers. The only govt workers enjoying old age in Nigeria are people who were in the armed forces whose pension is paid for life, (not the contributory pensions that OBJ brought) or people who have well to do and caring children. At some point, ur contributory pension will finish. Wait and see, in the next 50 years where we will be, thank God for Internet. Although I don't know about you, "see yo see Ebony" since u feel there is no time to enjoy this life, but according to my own scriptures, I will live to see my great grand children.

Please do you and let others do themselves. No one should superimpose what he does on the next person and no one should claim superiority in what he or she does. As our faces differ, so do our stories, wants, needs, aspirations and motivations. In every facet of life, there are successes and there are failures.


Peace.

If u come with rational thinking and Intelligent
advise, I will clap for you, but if u come with insults and washing u will definitely collect in good measure.

That aside, u have worked for 14years straight yet u still need a loan to buy engine and u use auction before u can buy a car. I tot all our salary workers have money loaded in bank accounts. Oga, just getat before u disgrace yourself here.
In a bid to show urself, u opened ur broke ass.
Your total pension contribution can only buy 2 corolla. Ehhh God.

Just keep encouraging drivers, do what u can to help people, that's noble and I celebrate u for that. But the moment u start downgrading and tarnishing drivers, u will get a response, whether u quote me or not.

Haa, na Bros na u dey talk this?

Ohh, o boy not really o, he's actually retired now.Anyone that graduated in unilag might probably know him, the prof that links the 'gown with the town' ... He's an Ondo man and always very proud of it, quite clear even in his intonation...I won't ask about yours! People who usually call out other's dad on a platform like this, for me is just one of those trait you see in guys that does your kind of job in and out, everyday...atleast you will need to insult/fight between 5 to 10 olosho/other road user everyday...
One thing that this job takes from you is the ability to THINK, ability to rationalize, ability to make clear-cut decision...soon, you won't be able to fit in, you won't be able to engage intelligently as evident in you and others that cannot , but insult! It is on this platform that I see someone telling another guy to meet him somewhere so they can fight, yes BOLE-KAJA. Not your fault tho,na the environment..The reason you need to get out of it.
FYI, I will continue to encourage drivers to please, know that this is not a JOB, it should only be a stop gap, am working on a friend's cv here, the last time he submitted a cv was 2019 because u tell am to dey pursue surge..Now he needs a new engine (400k) and he can't pay! Those are the people I am fighting for...If I need a new engine of 2 million today, if I no get cash, I'll ask my HR to process it, I won't pay more than 3% interest rate and they deduct from salary...I don bid 350k for KIA RIO yesterday,(I will snap my screen once I get to the office), those access bank RIO, I'll probably get it! I have work without a break for almost 14 years straight, do you have an idea what my contributory pension is, because I notice you like 'chukking' mouth in what you have absolutely no knowledge about,aside from gist you're privilege to hear from your rider...if I withdraw 25% today, I will buy 2 toks Corolla....
Folks, don't let anyone tells you they make your salary in two days, ask them if their life mirrors it! They make so much money but when you open indriver, a driver is looking for bat3, another needs spanner, this one needs jumper cable but yet they make my salary in two days! Shiorrrrr, we know the figures don't add up!

Guy no dey cap Nonsense did they tell you that contributory pension is for life except maybe you are annuity not programmed pension
I know a retired CBN bank manager his monthly pension is not up to 200k monthly. I also checked the pension balance of a current manager of a Top manufacturing company in Nigeria him balance never even reah #12M person wey do work for almost 15years

Suffery dey tell us lie here na
Do you know how much tokunbo Corolla is
4m *2 = 8M
So you dey tell us say your 25percent of your pencom balance na 8M

Abeg no dey bobo us here

Maybe na oil company you dey work abi


Hahaha so your current balance na #32Million naira for your pencom we no be kids here na

FyI if I decide to buy a tokunbo Corolla today for 4M and I decide to drive it myself I would buy that 2 tokunbo Corolla in 3 years time no capping cos as a Uber driver driving my own car I suppose fit save up 4m in 18months
Am not capping
