You are explaining all what was said before

If you go to Lagos Island(Oke Arin), and you see those old women who carry loads on their head. If you tell the woman that she can earn a better living instead of carrying this, have you insulted her hustle?

Uber is really good. A life saver. Uber has helped me in the past. But if someone tells me "izzóu,
let's think of an idea that will help us make more money on uber and we will drive less", what is wrong in that?

Do you understand my view now?

Baba we die here ooo... Lol. Might be getting into Lag by weekend. One buyer came with a very low bid, I mean lower than what I expected...

However, I am about considering the bid, as this month don dey come to its end already, and I wanted to use December to familiarize myself with the trade and also the routes. So as to start off fully by January.

My job pays me 200k / month
My side hustle gives me 500k / month

I am not going anywhere in my job, so I am investing in certifications and training. These are not a guarantee of anything, other than hope.

Unless my side hustle is not sustainable, why should I continue to burn my energy on a job, when I can burn it on a side hustle and move to the next level?

What i am inferring is that you can afford to do this because your job is not taking your energy per se.

Carshopper:
It's only in under-developed or developing countries we place much talk on certifications n professional qualifications...

Kontinu ...

Make una help me look into my condition and advice ma na

Bambarino:


How bro? Please explain...even riders self complained that the app is acting strange..trip of like 10mins would be showing 50mins....how now?

kodred:


That dude doesn’t know how to pass a message. There are ways he could have driven the points home instead of telling someone to go start writing, or any other thing, that people are making a killing doing it and so therefore Drivers should stop wasting time bla bla bla

Izzou you a cool guy and I respect you but you see that guy? To punch am for mouth dey hungry me walahi. That kind person na eye-service be hin life. Shame!

Felicity001:

Hmm, my brother your situation I'll say is critically critical but yet, not too bad.

This is my advice for you. Cease that opportunity you uncle gave you. No be uncle you call am? My wife will say, "family no dey carry family member go court say family member own them money". Meaning you won't be under pressure remitting money to your uncle. Notwithstanding, it doesn't mean you shouldn't or you can't.

You can plan your week. Let me teach you how.
Every morning set your destination to your work place using bolt/uber, I use bolt for this and it works perfectly for me. All I do is wait while I carry out one or two once the request comes in off I kiss my wife n my baby in the chick, off I go. Do likewise when coming back home. You must have generated money for you fuel probably for 3-4days on one trip. Mind you you're no more spending tp going to office.
If you're a marketer in your office, Good one for you. I've seen several of them doing uber same time marketing.
OK, your Mondays thru Friday.lets say you live-in agege take for instance, and u work in d island. Setting ur destination to n fro Mon -Fri you must have catch out nothing less than 25k-30k net income @3k min/trip. i.e u must have done say 10trips in 5days. You can even decide to work within d island till 9pm daily so when the 3rd MLB traffic has gone down you start coming home using your last set destination.
With that you could have made let's say 2-3k.

OK, to the week ends, I'm sure it's not every week ends you monitor ATM, Saturdays and Sunday's will then be your major work days. Trust me brother, you'll be able to get 25k to pay up. Any month you can't meet up maybe due to car breakdown add income from your salary.

My guy, don't quit your job for a career or hustle you have no experience on oh... Hold unto what you have at hand while you work on your new prospect and when you're sure you see glances of light at the end of the tunnel then you can decide what is best for you. And in conclusion, embrace and accommodate every opportunity because you never can say where your luck lies.

NB: contact employees are not entitled to car loans so see this as an opportunity for you to own a car of your own.

My two cent. Wish you best of luck

Seriously bro... 60-70k per month is quite a huge money in the current Nigeria. It is also very little compared to the price of commodities in the market today.

In your situation, you don't have to the time to merge the two. So it's either going to be one for the other. You know what you want in life, if I were in your shoes, I will keep my fears aside, then take up the Ehailing line, as I will be making the money and at same time, have time for personal development.

Like I said 'if I were in your shoes', as I know Wat I am gunning for.

Just take your time, think over it, look at the future of both hustles and see the one that has a better 2moro say in 2yrs time.

NB, I wasted good 12yrs on a job as contract staff with the hope of getting a full engagement which never came. Rather, I was faced with 16 months of no pay (the lack of payment was not really fault of anybody) but I just realized I wasted 12yrs of my career because of crumbs.

So just check well.... Las las you will be alright if you make the right decision.

Epphy:


Well it depends on your long term plans.

You can speak to your Uncle to let you start paying after a month as you get yourself acquitted to the hustle (or he helps with maintenance for the first 2-3 months). If you have some money in savings, it may help you when faced with little car issues

I would advise you to merge the two for the time being and if you can't cope after like a month or two (you may have to use your salary to complement payments at times) you gat two options -

1. Resign and face the hustle squarely.
2. Get a good driver on rental (I hope you find a good person) who remits say 30k to you weekly. Here, you are still in paid employment and have a car waiting to be fully yours after about 2 years+

Good luck in your decision!

mistadayo:
Some riders you cannot satisfy them finish. Uber should allow us know who and who rated us and comments. How can I have cleaniness, level of service, conversation, driving and vehicle condition on my rating dashboard when nothing is wrong with the car. They expect you to be going to the car wash after every trip. Shior

So you can swear for them Abi?

Felicity001:

Hahahaha this guy u funny I swear...lolzzz... Thank your ancestors say na uber if to say na Bolt OYO is ur case.
abeg keep us posted on their reply to you

ogbuefi677:

I doubt that guy worked at the level he always claims he did.
Always myopic and aggressive in his thoughts and words.
There is no work experience that is useless to any sensible prospective employer,forget the way people behave here,Africa is still in darkness.
"I[b] drove on uber for 5yrs" a sensible employer is already reasoning like "if he was able to do uber for that long,means he can handle our diverse clientele well with their different peculiarities".
"I sold okrika under the bridge for 5 years" and he'll be like "this one has patience and can sit his ass down for long as entailed by this job[/b]"

Tyche:
Now that the shouting has died , can we move on?

What guerilla marketing approach can we adapt and change the narrative in this Uber, Ocar, Bolt trichotomy?

Of course, we can't outspend them, but we can leverage on the experiences here to create another David and Goliath scenario.

Are there vacuums to exploit or niches been neglected in this ehailing Royal rumble?

Do we look outside the box?

Uber guy raps for her and she started crying

izzou:


There was one he did with a lady and she asked him out on a date

That guy is good

Eizenburg:


He’s not driving 10kms in 6hours.

You can say that.

But I think he does that for his YouTube channel, not necessarily because he needs the job.

There was one of his videos I watched where he mentioned that it was his friends uber account
