blackgold2018: Bro I’ve been doing it for almost 3 years now but about to call it quits because it’s no more profitable. I’m saying this now and will say it again; No driver can make any profit on EHailing business in Nigeria at the moment if you stick to driving strictly online and no offline. Irrespective of location and Ehailing company. 1 Like |

AchichaMmuo:no dear.. I’m not a paid agent. I’m not a cheap person If most of the drivers combine all the apps(Uber, bolt, Indrive and rida) at once. Because I’m a driver in all platforms. Theirs nothing you can tell me you wouldn’t see even it’s 10k saving in a day. |
Re: My Experience As UBER Driver For One Day by blackgold2018(m): 9:10pm On Oct 09, 2023 |
OGrockinnewacct:no bro I disagree. If one have a very good functional car, plus you are a driver in all platforms(bolt, Uber, rida and Indrive). Theirs no how you wouldn’t save at least 10k in a day. Haba bro. You are a driver in all platforms? |

flexyrule: Where there is a will, there is a way. We have data centers here in Nigeria don’t we? We can use another data center somewhere else say Ghana or SA for redundancy. Theses technologies are known, we don’t have to depend on Oyinbo for everything. After all the Netflix server for west Africa is in Ghana or is it Ivory Coast. |

erniok:yes I know.. it used to be lucrative. Like higher gain before. There’s why I said there’s no how a driver wouldn’t see 10k presently to save. |

COMPAQ:A country that God blessed with crude oil, has not been able to build one functional refinery in over 30 years. it's data center that you think they'll go and start losing sleep on? Seems some of you underestimate the uselessness of this country. Serious. As far as it doesn't affect the elites, they won't do it! 1 Like |

The Uber app is expensive because as a public company they are constantly pressured by Wall Street for bigger and bigger profits. If we make ours non profit oriented. Just focused on break even and a bit more for upgrade in new tech etc, it could be done. I want to believe ride hailing drivers across the country should number like 200k. If 200k people pay N20k a month in a year as service charges to the app, thats N48billion annually. |

flexyrule: I agree that it will be a challenge, but don’t be too negative. Main One has data center in Lagos. So also Galaxy backbone I think, which is government owned. Like I said, if the will is there it could be done. |

Simeonjoe1: It's easy to create such an app. The hard part is getting drivers and passengers to join the app and use it. If you don't have millions to run steady adverts, you will end up abandoning the project. Entrepreneurship no be beans oh. You need money to succeed. That's why people would rather be employees. 1 Like |

blackgold2018: Maybe you tried it last year when things were better, not at this current cost of fuel, if you insist drop your screenshot, no come de post misleading info Most of the drivers still driving are the ones with personal cars and probably no other option, if you do strictly online, if care is not taken, you will be at a loss at the end of the day |
Re: My Experience As UBER Driver For One Day by blackgold2018(m): 9:23pm On Oct 10, 2023 |
codenameSTYNO:ok now I get you Yes, you are right. I drive my personal car. People on a delivery or hire purchase are not making it that much compared to the drivers that own the car on this present economy |
