Ghost1994: Bro I feel for you, I really do. The work is really unpredictable now but with grace and sharp skills you can still make some money. The scope I use is that I target long trips. I try as much as possible to get at least 2 long rides daily. I position myself to get the rides (ogunvic and romeo comes to mind those guys screenshots dey burst my head that year. It really motivated me) I decline short rides especially to bad areas. No one is trying to remove food from your table. I share my screenshot for motivation and to let drivers know that there’s money out there. I try to average 10 hrs online and use at least 1300 per hour as a benchmark. Let me help you a bit. Please follow this guide. 1. Set out as early as 6 (rush hour) 2. Select a long distance trip i.e island if you stay on the mainland and vice versa. 3. When you get to the island, try to do like 2 hours of trips around there and set destination back to the mainland. When you get to the mainland, continue doing your work, by this time you would have made at least 10k and the time would be like 2pm or so. 4. Try to get back to the island or VI atleast but if you no see, just continue working on the mainland and please select trips o. I no know why you go carry your car go abaranje. 5. Do not accept rides to places with bad roads especially if it’s a short ride except you’re headed home and it’s on your way. If it’s a long ride please jump on it or just use discretion. When you get to those bad roads, drive as slow as you can ignoring the ‘oga move faster now’ yarns. 6. Pray to your maker or whatever you serve to bless your day. Of course everyday won’t be sweet but if you can get just 3 sweet days out of 7 bro you good. 7. Lastly, try to adapt to change bro. Be independent like you are. Uber is not doing it, switch to bolt and get used to the system. There’s more money on bolt than uber. I have never slept overnight in my car and I still do fairly ok. Hotspots are yaba, surulere, lagos island, ikeja, agungi, orchid hotel road, ajah, badore, phase 1, mushin( but please avoid this place because of the road. Very terrible) egbeda, abule egba, ipaja, ojodu, anthony, mende. Them plenty bro. PS. If you’ve never defaulted on weekly remittance pre-covid era and your partner is giving you a hard time now, he/she is a bad person. 5 Likes 1 Share |

davit: Not really. I drive only on uber for now, mostly on the Island. There are more cash trips on Uber these days. Prior to lock down, it use to be mostly card trips but not anymore. The annoying part is that almost all the riders want to make transfers. 1 Like |

xana101: Sorry for this horrific experience. The only time I went to Festac was a surge of 2.0 from Lekki on a Sunday afternoon in January. Fare was almost 10k. Trip started around 3pm, ended 6pm. I always avoid that side of town. On the mainland, aside Surulere, Yaba - Ikeja axis, gbagada, Ojodu area. Aside these places, I ain't moving an inch or I will drop you half way and turn back. 1 Like |

Guys please save this number and avoid anything that has to do with him. 08178354749 Name: Akpan Peter Yesterday morning I dropped a lady at Jakande first gate on his behalf, and he promised to send money as soon as I end the trip. I sent him my account number when I got to Ikate before turning towards Jakande and I ended the trip at Ilasan (2300), I called him to let him know the fare so he can send money before I drop the girl. Less than two minutes after the call, I got a WhatsApp message from him with screenshot of the payment receipt, I let the girl go hoping I will get the money, meanwhile Zenith bank was acting up as at that time, I couldn’t login into their mobile app. By the time I was able to login, no money from him. I sent him a chat and he said it’s network. We kept going at it all through the day. Later he said he forgot his token at home, the last time I spoke with him he said he was in traffic (9:30pm) that as soon as he gets home he will send it. I slept early, when I woke up this morning I checked to see if he had sent it but nothing. I called him, he didn’t pick up till he blocked my line. When I ran a check on his number through TrueCaller, attached below is what he’s name came up as......so I figured he’s a chronic scammer and this is not his first time. Akpan Jemi Lo Wo #1xxx means Akpan Owes Me Money.

northbird:If the drivers aren’t paying a Kobo for fuel l am sure it will be a big help, the driver should do his analysis of course, besides UBER also charges very low rates in the U.K. as low as £3 and USA as low as $4 it’s the quantum of jobs that you do that makes it worth while and popular and the use of cars that consume low amounts of petrol. 1 Like |

Uber aren’t ready to pay any driver a dime again oooo, so if your rider on pay you better come down and enter the same trouser with such rider. So, it happened that I picked this rider in an estate before sangotedo she said she was going to cms she later said it’s jankara market she’s going, never knew that idumagbo inward has really gotten so terrible. On getting to our about 100meters to drop off point I’ve ended the trip never even knew it was transfer she wants to do, after calling my Acct number and bank she told me that she has done it and left immediately the place is so busy I couldn’t even see her breaklight. Checked my mobile app money no enter oooo, na so I call her whether them don debit her, she said no that I should send my Acct number which I did immediately. The lady just continue posting me I called her more than 50 times though she didn’t respond to most of the I dey call her within the interval of 20-30 mins and I didn’t raise my voice at her. I shaaar pet her till she eventually send an in the evening. I follow her up calmly didn’t threaten her even when she dey para for me. The hustle don tie rapper oooo

Godfather10: Yeah! You are right. We win we lose. But you should also notice the guy was reporting that in a blank despair situation he found himself at that moment which I believe we all understand. He "begged" him, that is not harassement. He doesnt feel entitled. However, it means driver can also end any trip at 12midnight in the middle of no where. We win we lose theory! God bless our hustle. 1luv! 4 Likes |

Like you'll leave ur productive hours and go sit down at bank premises with face mask on, waiting for when the security will let u have access into the bank, just to check ur balance of which she would have save u the stress, by doing the right thing of ordering a ride with cash at hand or card.
