Anyway uber no too send as they don't do inspection. For Taxify, the guys go collect bribe sign you on, but it's stated in their website that such is not allowed, they will equally tell you that at the training.
Uber is most likely, but I wonder how some riders will feel, especially when they carry load or three in number
it has a trunk for load bro and 3 people can enter it comfortably

Please I dnt own a car.
I just registered to uber. Is it worth it to engage one of the uber leasing firms for cars at N35k a week payment considering I have a 8am-5pm job Mon-Fri.

It will be alot of stress meeting up with your 8-5 job. You have to be on the road alot more to meetup 35k a week

250k my foot. I had a friend that delivers 35k weekly but he was working almost 24hrs (day n night to make that amount, and and the end of the week, nothing to save for himself, that's even taxify o, that's is kinda more popular than uber. He has dropped the car now because he can't meet up the payment anymore! There are too many people on the platform now, so it's not as lucrative as b4. I have a group whatsapp for the drivers where we share experiences, motivate and encourage one another on the driving experience! U can't make 250k. Na lie

Please can u add me to the group 08039621412 or share the group link

In Lagos, this biz has gone down drastically. Our fortunes went south when uber reduced fares by 45% while leaving their commission unchanged. And too many vehicles on uber and taxify platforms, such that earning per driver has dipped seriously.

I have been driving on both platforms for 2 yrs now and I have done close to 3000 trips on both platforms. The issues are:

Incredibly low fares
Car jacking, snatching especially at night
Fraudulent riders who always refuse to pay
Bad roads leading to frequent repairs
Traffic gridlocks
High cost of spare parts and maintenances
Few or non existent price surges
Death of drivers due to greater insecurity and accidents due to fatigue.
High commission charged. Uber charges 25% while taxify charges 15%

All these and other factors have reduced drivers earning considerably hence any driver that makes 60k-100k weekly is a star and lucky chap. Requests are few and far in between,

Drivers are not meeting up with payments, it's very tough and unpredictable now.

Personal advice is dont get carried away by false info out there. This is the truth and reality. If you must invest, play down your expectations or stay away to avoid avoidable heart aches.

You can make 10-13k weekly. 13k in just 5 days is already 65k. Then you use the weekend to top it all up. Please dont discourage anybody. I meet up with my rental every week steady.

Work smart.

Good day house,

Pls I need your candid advice here...have this foreign used 2005 Hyundai Sonata I've been trying to sell for a short while now in the hands of a dealer;and buyer have not yet come for it. So, is it advisable to use it to try out the Uber thing since I already have interest on it? Pls advice regarding the maintenance cost, parts availability, fuel consumption e.t.c.

Many Thanks.

I'm curious about placing phones in front of AC vents...

Won't condensation occur inside and thus lead to malfunction.

I used to have this infinix that could fry an egg after a period of gameplay or in the car on hot days. I got around it by placing it on a block of frozen pure water. But it would have tiny droplets of water inside the back cover and battery.

...Just asking
