nitigriti: I do not mean to disrespect, but this 2 people are the wrong people to ask, my reasons: 1 is a mechanic, he is saving cost, because he repair the car himself. If he gets 5k weekly, he will be very comfortable. But other owners, spend more bills in paying mechanic. 2 The narrative guy, doesn't no the market, he has no experience driving, and he hasn't invest his money, what he does is a middle man job, so all the narratives will be more to his pocket. The only way you can understand the owner side is to invest. For you to understand the driver side, is to drive, Ogunvic41 and Romeo3 drove and decide 50k is good offer, if you have a corolla or 407,because cars consume less fuel. If not for the greediness, they will be more successful, but when they want to buy filling station within the space of 6months, then they take advantage of people's trust. 6 Likes |

Hello guys, pls I am here to ask this question and I need honest opinions. I am planning to get my first car this week and I can't find sleep. Reason is I am unable to decide on the car I want. I have thoughts for Honda accord 05 (eod) i4 or 06 DC i4. The question is which one is the best option to run uber with and what is the relative difference btw their v6 types in terms of fuel consumption and maintenance? Thank you all for the lessons learnt on here over time. God bless all our handwork. |

jpworld: You made too much assumptions in your submissions. I won't regard anyone that uses full synthetic oil on his uber cars as someone trying to 'save costs'. The 'narrative guy' has plenty experience as a driver too, if you've taken time to read their submissions. As a matter of time, they both drive. They both invested and have cars on the platform. Hope you know that narrative or not, they have a fleet being managed. What were you saying again? 1 Like |

jpworld: We see things differently, which is actually a good thing. I am a car owner, and if I were to engage a driver on Uber, I choose to see him as a partner and not an employee. It doesn't in anyway affect the terms of the contract we sign together. Once there's no default, no wahala. 4 Likes |

olaboy1: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. 3 Likes 1 Share |

iyaegin: I see , what part of the thread do you read. Do you do research at all. The problem with a lot people is that they just sit down and expect things to flow easily. Did you read the part of a driver on these forum,. He works part time and still makes money. Did you even try to analyse what he was saying? Did you even call him for advice? Did you even do anything before coming to any conclusion that the business is slow or not like what it used to be ? Well for your information , I called the part time driver. I am based in the USA with drivers on the platform. The driver said yes the business is a bit slow. But he himself stragetize and he gets up at a certain time . He has plan and he follows the plan. He made an example how some drivers just wait around looking for riders. Some even reject riders. He is talking about the type of drivers like you. In life if you want to be successful, you need to do what successful people do. My brother you need to change your ways and your thinking . The part time uber driver was generous enough to post his earnings. If I was him I would not bother myself after lecturing people on how to improve their earnings. Sometimes people can't be helped no matter how you try. This is the difference between the rich and poor. And finally before you conclude read the thread, talk to people that are doing better. And ask questions. Learn from people that are better than you. Hire people that are smarter than you and learn from them. This is how successful people think and behave 6 Likes |

iyaegin:And there was another young man that poster his earnings. This was few days ago. The young man was looking for another car. Because the 03 camry he was driving was too old and given him bad rating. I called him and offered him my 04 civic which he kindly decline. Because he was looking for a corolla, which he finally got and it is a tokunbo. When I spoke to this young man. He should be about 22yrs old. I ask him how request he said request is going on. I said to him people on nairaland are complaining that request is slow. He said has he is talking to me a request just came in. Be even said that there is not enough cars self for the job. Omo when he said I tire o. So what is the fuss about that you are waiting all day only one request . Bro you need to change your thinking o. Do you even have friends or associate yourself with people with the same line of work you do. For me o, I have at least 6 people that are drivers on the platform. Some are owners, those are the people I talk to when I want to get the full gist on what's on going. I get all my facts from them. This is even before I talk to my own fleet manager . I make sure I get enough facts before anybody starts to tell me bullshit. This is why the rich stay with the rich. You need to start moving with fellow drivers so that you can get the true narrative of the business. Hope and wish you better luck. 3 Likes |

Trying to use emotional manipulation will not help drivers to gain employment. Nigerians are so fond of using emotion to try to win an argument. Drivers working in Chevron, Banks and telecoms are employed as drivers and not partners. Whether you want to be called robotic fleet driver doesn’t change the fact that car owners invest their money for the sole purpose of making profit, and drivers should stop this egoistic behavior of wanting to make more money than the investor. When you run your mouth that investors are not doing drivers any favor, I want you to remember Nigeria is currently in this financial mess because of poor mentality of people like you, most investors are pulling out of Nigeria. Now ask yourself who does this affect more, investors or Nigerian citizens. So yes Uber investors are doing you a big favor by investing their hard earned money. Uber is not the only place they can invest their money. Since you live in Nigeria with the very poor minimum wage, how long do you think it will take you to raise 2m Naira (10yrs I guess). And for the drivers complaining, this job is for professional drivers who have driven commercially for many years like the danfo drivers. Danfo drivers are on the road 10-15 hrs daily with no car A/C and lastma, Agbero/Police will not let them rest. So be grateful to God and the investor that you can atleast earn around 100k monthly. This is not a get rich quick scheme. Before Uber came to Nigeria, ask yourself how much were people earning and what job were they doing. Many people do tedious laborer jobs and take home 2,500 daily. So far Uber is the only menial job in Nigeria that pays well. 11 Likes 1 Share |

medd422: Lets be realistic sir. Sadly sir, a man isn't in the position to determine what his life is worth, it's his closest relations that will do that. Expressible in the amount they can raise to save his life if in a terminal condition (inclusive of what he has saved up without seeking external help). You never hear Forbes adding what someone still hopes to make when stating his or her net-worth. I'll choose working for someone from 9-5 in an office over driving someone's car for 15hours daily, for the same income, I consider it more dignify in. Heck the office job will require and higher qualification, skill set and or work experience than the Uber driver job requires. Might even come with an official car and driver as perks of the job. By the way, It's the car that gets comprehensive insurance, the driver doesn't get life insurance. nitigriti: What part? Please state your argument. bily: I am yet to see one driver on this thread who started by driving another person's car and was able to save up enough to buy his own car or complete payment on hire purchase. This to me means the heart of the business is actually the car. That's why whoever owns the car has the highest chance of making the most amount of money and eventually expanding. Buying a car isn't rocket science, but without a car a driver has nothing to do and vice versa. But note, it's a taxi hailing platform, not a driver hailing platform. The driver is there because the taxi needs a driver, self driving cars will kick drivers out of business. 3 Likes |
