Been incognito on this thread for about 9 months. Learnt a lot on here before i started driving on both platforms, read from page 1.
I'm proud to say that i have NEVER defaulted in my rent from day 1.
Have i had to use my money to pay rent? YES, because my integrity is sacrosanct to me
Towards the end of 2018 I resolved to never pay out of my pocket again. So i set targets for myself, at least 15k everyday after commissions. I used to do 3k daily for fuel, that's 20ltrs cos my car did 10km to 1ltr. If I passed this allocation then i should have made more than 15k. When lagos traffic became hell late last year, it went up to between 4 and 5k...my car's efficiency has also dropped by 1 or 2kms depending on hpw much traffic i sit in (it's terrible in traffic or idling I don't know why, Cc Gazzuz)
5k is set aside for my landlord 5k for me...the rest goes to feeding etc.
I buy 200 credit like every other day.
At the beginning of the week 3 credit my e-tag with 3k (remember that the excess accumulates)
data is like every other week as well.1.5gb 9mobile at 1200, almost Strictly for work. Regular use data na glo,2k or 2k5 every month.
Feeding allocation is 1k on a regular day. I don't eat just anywhere i see food. 3h bread and beans at alagomeji or 5h rice plantain and turkey or goat meat from Cyril @ Haruna near Gazzuz or 4h fufu at yesufu sanusi in surulere or i do 5h or 8h chicken Republic or 850 @ The Place. I buy bread whenever I'm around Blenco Supermarket or any fine bread i trust... I keep it in the car for quickies. Nowadays I always leave the house with 2 boiled eggs and i have butter in the car as well.
I cut out car wash, that's only once in a while now, i wash the car myself.
Cumulatively I've paid around 45k to lastma and police
Bought 3 phones Galaxy s5 30k(screen spoilt, 25k to fix it so i blank am), Lg g5 35k (stolen a few weeks later at a wedding) LG G5 32k(still balling)
Since the xmas gbem I've only missed 100k after commissions once.
Took the 1st 2 weeks of the year to rest, should have travelled but bae was busy so i gifted her an iphone with the holiday money.
I've hit it thereafter, my worst week has been 91k after comms.
I'll say many guys here inspired me to up my game coz i was damn lazy, once landlord money complete i go begin play, but now i grind like a hungry mofo.
Savings has improved too. Any money that gets home with me is left at home, any money transfer stays in the account, I only buy 1k or 1.5k to start the next day if I'm crashing at home, if na my bro place for lekki I buy my regular 3k from Oando at 4th roundabout.
Farenz is an inspiration cos he's shown that its possible.
I'm not greedy, I still chill, mondays or Wednesday na movie day with bae so either half day or no work at all. She loves Coldstone as well so we must chop BOGOF.
Many guys on here complain daily but na this lagos me sef de o. I drive past long lines of drivers at billings way, ajiran, that circle mall road and i come out with rider, they arestill there. Maybe they just chilling as per man no be wood I'on know, but there's a time value of money. See as guys de complain about January...hmmmmmmm
I'm still learning though, efficiency can still be improved.
On the strike day (which i don't support) I picked a G-boy Ologolo to ibafo and back 1.7 surge about 5hrs 20k+... But, na babalawo the boy go. After he came out, him and the aafa enter say make we go that redeemed camp side.. needless to say my balls don drop finish. I kept praying and saying my hail Marys in my mind. Na so dem say make i stop near 1 small bridge dem com enter inside bush. I use style come out to survey the area. After they came, everything else went without event, bobo transfer my money.

In as much as the number of rides has increased i also think the number of riders has as well, considering the number of 5star riders i pick weekly. Guys business is a numbers game. Lagos has roughly 20 million peeps, riders dey. How many rides do u even do in a day? 10, 15, 20? Thats like an average of 10k (hypothetically speaking) so whats the whole fuss.
People de diss uber but when taxify did lite and comfort they stylishly dropped their prices but una no see am. How many of y'all raised it here? Can't remember anybody doing so but una wan kill farenz that day...what they did was simple sleight of hand. Now uber matched them at 15% commission some folks here still didn't know.
It's not all about driving and coming online to talk smack. Some of y'all have a crazy entitlement mindset, u want landlord to reduce rent, you want uber to increase fare... If person advertise 35k here una go abuse am. Y'all need to understand what a free market is and how it operates. I'm on 35k weekly with no wahala because I wasn't forced into it neither am i forced to stay in it. If e no pay me again i leave.No hard feelings.
And we can disagree without the insults and bashing.


As an aside, the grammar people write on this thread is appalling. Chixox...like wtf?
...and its HIRE PURCHASE... NOT HIGHER or High Or Haya... How can you succeed in a partnership when you don't even know what the agreement is?

Pick up at Guinea insurance at jibowu, first stop at 17b oguntana crescent Pedro gbagada, next stop at Ikosi Ketu, then to keffi street Alausa, next stop at Hope Plaza at link bridge Ikeja, took them to Coscharis at Adeola Odeku VI, then to Prestige assurance plc Ligali Ayorinde before heading back to Guinea insurance at jibowu. The trip lasted 5hours from 12 to 5. And you are calculating it to be 6000 plus. That was my message to Uber.

Their response.....

We reviewed this trip and determined that you were charged an incorrect fare due to a technical issue.

We've updated your fare to NGN10,750.00 which reflects our estimate for a direct route between your pickup and destination. This adjustment is now visible in your next weekly payment statement.

mrjaydee:
Can you all stop with the insults.. If any one claims he makes 1M in a day, how is it your problem? I'm a newbie I started reading from page 1 to page 835, I then jumped to this page 1,300 plus. I'm encouraged by the reasonable drivers here. I'm still yet to learn some few tips like I personally prefer working on the island/lekki/ikoyi/VI axis cos I'm familiar with this routes than anywhere in Lagos. I want to learn the hotspots and also any useful tips. Pls no insults I'm a newbie.. God bless us all.

Daminomics:

After setting out around 5am from ajah. Got a trip to magodo from Abraham adesanya. Got to magodo around 6am. 3500 was my fare. I didn't see trip until I drove to airport around 8.30am. Waited for 50min... When the request came in, it was a man going to egbeda. Wanted to cancel it. But my church mind said don't. Na so we start to they go. Got to egbeda and it was 2500. The man said I should end the trip that I would be taking him back to airport hotel on offline trip. When we got to airport hotel, na so the man count 10k give me. Ummmm. Good stuff.

Megadrop:
I beg to disagree its not free bro. When I wanted to get mine I was told to go and make payment in the bank. I think it was 4k+ or thereabout. Immediately I left their office that day I went to do it ma own way and Uber accepted it.
