The foolishness of the many is why the few wise men suffer. This is why Nigeria will never get better. That’s because we will always have people who will support the worst administration in Nigeria due to tribalism, party affiliation, handouts, defend electoral malpractice and heist while living in penury and looking for ways to travel and seek asylum in Europe.
People like you are the reason why the country will never get better and I shake my head whenever I read your comments.

The time spent on Nairaland defending this incompetent government and lying about being a digital marketer with two companies and earning in dollars should be funneled into learning an actual skill which would help you in getting an actual job. I am not one to throw bants but the fact that you were on Nairaland on a clear afternoon (when normal people were working their asses off) just to make a smirky comment on a sales post that I made in another nairaland section shows how dense a person can be. The fact that you could not afford to buy the things that people put up for sale does not mean others can’t . 80% of the properties I had up for sale was done on nairaland and people who could afford it bought it off.
But then , I’ll leave this advice for you -
- shun tribalism, the political does not give a damn about bottom feeders and only care about their interest and those that offer value.
- Focus your time on productive things, either actually driving or learning a skill.
- Don’t burn bridges with your comments as most people see your comments on Nairaland and would assess you based on that. Only the rich has that luxury of burning bridges. The person I recommended for my position before I relocated was a guy from from nairaland I advised to go into my field early last year and he got the job. He’s on this thread and he can choose to remain anonymous if he wishes..


I am in a good place and it is not out of luck, it was God first and then making good use of my time . After I quit driving , I worked with a multinational, a tier 1 bank, a foreign IT firm and a Nigerian software development firm, all within a few years.
I even did two jobs at some point and none of these jobs paid me less than 600k a month. But I still left because the country will never get better with the likes of you who are praise singers/Sirens and would shout down criticisms at every turn.
I’m not upset at you because it’s a democratic society and it’s your right to vote and support whomever you chose but I am just saddened by the fact that your actions are affecting innocent people who had nothing to do with this .
This is why I will always support the view that foolish people should have their own country..

And to add , I’ll always be grateful for experiences gathered while in e-hailing because it made me more disciplined and put food on my table while I up-skilled. Discipline that made me stick through the process.

And also to those who think all 9-5 jobs are shitty, I’ll beg you to reconsider. I’ve been an entrepreneur, I have driven albeit for a short while but I’ll tell you that nothing beats the peace of mind that comes with a nice corporate job, especially if you’re in IT. The least I saw anyone earn around me was 400k and those were entry level . My colleagues were all remote workers but we would come to the office at least once a week because we’ve missed the office ambience. Don’t let anybody fool you if you’re young , driving is not a transferable skill that can put you in a good place if you want to japa or live a fulfilled life abroad. If you’re dedicated , your skill can aid your japa as I am a living witness . At the end of the day , it’s a personal choice and all man must run his own race.

This thread eeehhhh
yesterday e-hailing paying better than salary earners.
Today, returns are not worth it ...Lower fares
Tomorrow someone will still come up with its the best thing.... I paid off my HP car in 2years and after buying the car he goes back to his second hustle and drive only on weekends. which one come pay pass 1st hustle or 2nd hustle

Stop being funny, that charge is for investors.

northbird:


Yes, you will do inspection.
The vio guys will disturb you if you don't have Lagos RW esp if they notice it is used on ehailing.

A stranger can claim he came visiting. But with a rider feeling fly at the back seat, it's going to be difficult to explain.

It's not an issue. I have seen Abj, Imo, ogun , Enugu, Anambra number plates on ehailing in lagos


You can do your VL anywhere, even lagos vl can be done in Abuja because the funds go to the JTB ( joint tax board)

Thanks boss

Nice one Fibel! This cut it all for me when I say ehailing is obviously not the best thing. While one keep striving to be in a better place and position, we should always remember timing and every dog having his own day.

Not just some random dudes throwing words without rope or doings. Nice one again chief, more wins.

Job A may pay more than Job B but one can prefer Job B because of several reasons. That u prefer Job B doesn't change the fact that Job A is more profitable. Well, I don't expect someone who chose Congo over Nigeria to know this😜

Congrats Fibel... Stop wasting ur energy on a lost cause.

I think drivers should consider converting their vehicles to use CNG if the opportunity arises financially. The conversion costs approximately 1.2-1.5 million Naira, depending on the foreign exchange rate and the type of car. I believe this investment will result in long-term cost savings

Djdamian:


Summary of his POV

E-hailing doesn't offer much benefit for investors (I fully agree); it primarily benefits drivers using their personal vehicles. Those seeking hire purchase or rental deals may find them scarce due to limited investor interest in the business at this time.

I fully agree with you too considering the fact that the LAsema Fiverr Digital marketer destroyed your car in 2 weeks and moved on.
Investors have always been on the receiving end in this hustle. There is no way you will flog a rental car for 3 years in lagos and wont need a major repair that will gulp part of the return.
I still find it hard to believe people can drive for 3 yrs without any side hustle and be able to maintain a family and have a normal life.
That's why i will always respect people that have been driving for more than 3 yrs, I don't know how they do it.

Las las the hustle is not for everybody

I have moved on from that episode, so should you

Howfa guys, I was thinking lately 🤔

What if there is a central system that allows drivers to rate riders and vice versa 🤔

You know the traditional way of "review after ride" that Uber, indrive, and bolt do are not seen by anyone.

What if the main purpose of the central system is to make a public ledger where if you have a ride, you can query the riders number to see reviews other drivers have written about him or her, so you make informed decisions before going on a trip.

What do you think?

Thank you brother.
I don’t honestly have anything against him. Most times I’ll just ignore comments but the fact that he is all over nairaland at most times of the day when he should be making use of his time is discouraging.
He is a young man and has a right on who to support . The problem is if he is doing it for free, l’d actually respect him if he’s actually getting paid handsomely and not peanuts as even the so called patriots of other developed nations have multiple reasons to feel patriotic.

Thank you .. In as much as I don’t negate the fact that driving pays , I’ll always take a good corporate job over it. When I started working, I would set aside 200k from my salary each month for expenses and I would still have a remainder before the next pay day. The rest went into savings. Not to mention my HMO which covered my hospital bills plus any medications and pension which is still sitting somewhere. I’ve always been an advocate of entrepreneurship and self employment but having been on the other side , I’d pick it even if it paid less but allows me time to do other things.
But I also admit that there are bad jobs but these should serve as lessons and motivation to innovate and grow.

What do you think?

I think indrive is somehow close to your proposed model. You can see rating and number of trips. For instance, if a rider has 4.2 rating with number of trips =18, then I prepare for a show down, if at all I'll pick the ride.

Implementation of your model, will likely impact business because of time factor. Time is money.

The Nigerian political class keep bandying around the word “patriotic” to the keep the uninformed Nigerians at bay and instill a sense of perpetual follower-ship but they forget that the sense of feeling patriotic is based on positive values, justice , equality and justice which is absent in Nigeria.
What the young man up there is unknowingly advocating for is “Nationalism” which often degenerates into superior and separatist beliefs and breeds hate groups and promotion of distrust among citizens as time goes on as seen in the current Nigerian space.
Our leaders love to throw the word “Patriotism” around but are one of the most unpatriotic set of leaders the world have ever seen.. They advocate for masses to bear the brunt of removal of Fuel subsidy et al and endure trying times but are still collecting huge salaries and fat bonuses. They entrench their children/families into government positions and businesses opened while in government and loot the country dry. The real problem we have are their foolish supporters who either support them based on tribal affiliations or because of the peanut payments they receive. Without these set of people our unpatriotic leaders will cease to exist but they won’t , because ignorant people are always in their multitudes.

Hi all,

Please how much is Uber inspection fee and do I have to book in advance or I can just drive in and get it done.

Also, what does it entails? Must my car be painted and looking sharp? What do they ask for during the inspection?

Thanks in advance for your response.

XPaul:

Uber inspection fee; Hold 3k, I dont know how much they charge now but it cant be more than that. Drive in and get it done.
Go with your complete vehicle documents and drivers licence.
Your car should be just okay, devoid of deep dents and very obvious scratches. Minor scratches will still pass.
AC, Radio, horn, central lock, window whiners, door handle and lights should all be working well.

Thank you. My central lock is not working. I think I will just pause pending when I repair that one

Go for the inspection like that. Just ensure to unlock all the doors when you're there.

I will advise all to avoid Ikorodu today though in respect of their festival.
