radautoworks: Sweet heart I really do not see how jpworld is derailing. The thread says, "If you're uber partner in Lagos, please share your experience". The last time I checked a partner could be a car owner or driver or car ownerdriver. I just feel we should just cut the guy some slack. He is who he is, saying things as it is which hurt a lot of people here. Part of the experience the thread has asked that we share encompasses everything: your earnings (good/bad). [If you have a bad day today as a driver/partner is that not your exeperince, how about a good day!?]. My advice, we should just try to understand ourselves contextually. His view point and how he chooses to address issues may differ from yours but does that make him wrong? Please let us enjoy the thread meant for both drivers and partners as it was not stated other wise. 13 Likes |

Bro, you're doing well. While some are taking years to recoup their investment because if it isn't 2m worth of car, it is not good enough for uber, you've recouped your investment in 3 months. Stay blessed. Luxurydriverng: 5 Likes |

I have come to realize we are quick to shalaye on business or personal choices we make when we really don't owe anyone an explanation.... What works for you as a business choice may not work for another .... We don't have to give reasons or try to find comfort in explaining how far a business choice is going...

I had wanted to share an experience i indirectly witnessed last week, but i got overtaken by events till i forgot. I will share it now. I am neither an owner or driver partner, but I must confess that since i began frequenting this thread and reading experiences from people, my street-smartness has sort of increased and i have become more aware of my environment especially when i am moving around. I had earlier read 2 experiences from folks here about how they got accosted by men claiming to be SARS officials and their riders accused of being "yahoo-boys" and made to part with some money. So, last week i was heading to Ojuelegba, enroute Luth. I am quite new to driving around Lagos, so i took a wrong route around Fadeyi side or so. I went under the bridge, instead of up, so i found myself in Jibowu. There was traffic close the right turn i was to take to get back on track. As i was stationary, activities around this red Corolla to my right caught my attention. I observed there were 4 normal looking guys (excluding the driver who was still on his seat) and another 4 mean-looking hefty guys with black nose mask pulled to their jaw regions. 2 of the mean-looking guys were checking the phones of 2 of the normal-looking guys. Then a third one was searching the vehicle and he asked the driver, at some point, to alight and open his boot. Then the 4th one was doing like he was taking pictures and making calls. As soon as i beheld the sight, i immediately remembered the incidences i had read here and i knew that this was definitely another one playing out. The traffic lasted for about 5 mins or less so i could not see the end of it all as i had to move on. But trust me, the sight no palatable at all. I think new entrants into the e-hailing business in Lagos should avoid Corolla vehicles. They are obviously an easy target for these guys. Also, if you can talk your riders into sitting in front with you, it will make sense in reducing suspicion that you are e-hailing. Stay safe, guys! 15 Likes |

Slickleo:Thought I was the only one...Left home early, before 830, I’ve completed three trips. From that time till now nothing. From Bourdillon I went to Raymond Njoku, stayed 30mins there, nothing. I said to myself, ‘why you they dull shebi road free go Lagos Island Na make you go chop Ajah trip’. Fired down to Oando Marina and scoped the Chicken Republic security so as to park, I do that always and under five minutes I’m out with a quality trip. Today 25 minutes passed no show. I just blow empty from there come house. Till tomorrow abeg. 1 Like |

peeps4u: Thanks man, the truth is that it is not worth using a car worth millions for this taxi business, when I was driving the Mercedes some trips annoys me to my bone marrows. To carry along self people ppl go dey fear to enter. But with the nissan I don't feel it when I end trip and see 700 naira or 500 naira, I just say in my mind "how much you even buy the moto" I bearly use up to 4 litter of engine oil for servicing, oil filter is 700 naira. It is really a big relief not to even talk of how much I save on fuelling. Buying this car was a very good decision I made. 15 Likes 1 Share |

Luxurydriverng: I never new this was possible. Its an encouragement. Car owners will Drive their own cars soon. I quite remember those days of your luxury Benz. You posted the interior of the Benz here. Every one was envious, atleast I was. N1m vehicle makes no sense in this business at all. Majority of the car owners who were not well advised are trying to pass the frustration on the Drivers, like its our fault. This argument on accurate remittance will never end, its only starting, as we can see. 3 Likes |

I stand with you. Drivers do not like it when someone comes here and report the true state of the ehailing business. Dru23 was constantly attacked here for the doing what you're doing. They even discourage fellow drivers from posting their earnings. However, you need to apologise to Madam Radu for insulting her. There was no need for that. Let love lead. . jpworld: |

Crvrider:Same applies to every other person doing so, a lot of people do come here with contrary opinion yet they express themselves and nobody fight them. He can always make his point in a cool way, I don't care about whatever he have to say after all I am not working with him. But I was slighted when he just keep insulting others, he is not the first he will soon fixle out like others before him. No be today, it's just normal because he is a fleet manager. The higher the rental the better for him, after three layers of people have to feed on a particular vehicle if it's managed by an agent. 1 Like |

Slickleo: It 2010 actually, the car has quite a lot of electrical. The owner sold it due to hard start issues, I scanned it and discovered it was the Cramshaft POSITIONING sensor (which I made a vlog on, link attached) I bought the sensor 3k and replaced it myself and ever since then it's a smooth ride https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjszpqaNaCo 5 Likes 1 Share |

shepherdchurch: Apolo wetin? What i said about madam radautoworks is not an insult, it's an assumption. Only thing i have done is call most drivers vampire, (which they are)and it was not pointed at anybody. Gentlelife50 you're acting like my jss1 class captain. my broda i don't manage people's vehicles i own them. If u want to count people that have been successful in this business u will count me, owning above 10 cars no be beans, after starting with 3 cars, i take my business very serious like my life depend on it. I have been on nairaland since 2009, some drivers insulting me here are still sucking their mom breast when we started using nairaland. 5 Likes |

If he wants to make imaginery comments about his fleet, it has to do with Uber but the uncouthness does not and you guys don't have to deal with it. Better than insulting back and forth. 3 Likes |

Oluwabengz: The car was bought brand new by an Indian man with 74,000 on the odometer, the man probably got frustrated with our try and error mechanics and decided to sell it. I replaced the AC condenser as the car had a minor accident that affected the condenser. I also changed the cramshaft POSITIONING sensor and that was all. The engine is in mint condition however I will need to replace the clutch disk soon. And by the way the original price is 395,000 I just rounded it up to 400k 3 Likes |
