hvac: You can as well sell ur father's land to invest and bring the rent to 10k weekly. radautoworks: is a very smart business woman and a very good politician. Some of our big politicians today, are the ones that pretend to liberate the masses 20years ago. Today they're in politics and they're the new oppressors. radautoworks is super rich have drivers at heart, do plenty give away, yet she won't invest in just 5 cars, so drivers will be coming to give testimony of how she has bless their life, by buying a Corolla 2.2m and giving out on 15k rental. radautoworks: goes to Alibaba buy those cheap scanner for 4k then do give away to 6people, in return sell those scanner for 25k? If u want scanning services, she will charge you scanning fee of 5k, that is very smart. In Nigeria people that are brutally honest are tagged the devil, 13 drivers work for me, 10 of them has been with me for over a year, so wat are the things i need to learn from hoodlum drivers? Surrender my car for palliative? 15 Likes

There is no owner that has not been cheated of rental fee, even with 10k weekly, infact is unaffordable, but with strict measures u will minimize it. Cheating owner of rental fee is common practice in this business. I always give my opinion on how it works for me, I'm a believer of Corolla, i have been with Corolla for 4years plus i only try 1 Honda, after dru23 talk much about it, at the moment i will continue to stick with Corolla. If i see a good honda deal, i can try 1 more In mechanic industry ur services are the most expensive, to compare wat other mechanics charge, but you still have customers prioritizing u. For example i change oil and filter b4 with 500naira, but now they collect 1000naira. I change brake pad with 1000naira, will you charge the same? Tie rod socket, ball joint set, my mechanic charge 1000naira. Infact is bc i understand Corolla functions better i stick with Corolla. If elumelu a billionaire can fire 2000 people during lockdown, i will do the same for my business to survive. Just as ur services are premium, you didn't force anybody to use, same as me, if you like my conditions work wity me, if not the exist door is open.[/quote] I think we spoke before , we use to deliver oil to you and you use to buy alot.. And u said u had a Honda civic that you bought tokunbo and it gave you hell. |
Re: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by dru23(m): 10:44pm On Dec 05, 2020 |
jpworld: You stated that you will continue to stick with Corolla .. A tokunbo car has always been the best choice for ehailing. A tokunbo car can maybe last up to two years on ehailing, no matter how well you maintain the car it will get to a point that you will need to sell it ... so am wondering when that times comes, would you sell the Corolla and get another Corolla? Or would you drive the car to the ground and than sale it ? Now if you than decide to sell the car to get another car . Would it be naija used or Tokunbo? If it is naija used than you taking a gamble.. And if it is tokunbo, would the cost of tokunbo worth it for u..... My point here is for any investors going into uber for the long haul .. My advice is to get a tokunbo car good enough to do the job with the most minimum maintenance cost.. And cheap enough to the point that when is time to sell of the car ,you would have made enough money to buy another tokunbo car.. You can't try that business model with a Corolla . It will not make any business sense. And it will not make business sense to sell your uber car to get a naija used 1.. It is like hustling backwards, but with the Honda Civic you have that capacity to do that. A Corolla can buy 1 Honda Civic and change will remain. But both cars are bringing in the same income..You might say the real sell value of Corolla is better depending on the condition of the car.. But the Civic still the best choice because it was bought cheaper the Corolla.. 7 Likes 1 Share |

radautoworks: Been waiting for the opportunity to put this out there, but didn't know if you'd want me to or not ma. I have been under your employment for about 6 months, and I must say, its been an amazing journey. Yours is the kind that is extremely rare to find. You're not a part of them, you do not do things like them, you're different, you give so much motivation, love and energy to your employees, such that your customers and the world at large, could see your person through us. Its been love from day 1, up until this minute. Who keeps her chauffeur even though she's been out of town for a very long time? The young man just dey enjoy him (no)work. Maybe JP for don fire am, one month before departure, with the intention of hiring another when he gets back. He said to me today "bro, as a driver, I never get any reason to stay anywhere for two years, but since I come here, na so oh...na love oh, we are a family here." You're approachable and infact, always there. You're so near, yet so far away. All your employees, from RadAuto to RadRentals, to your domestic staff, are more than satisfied and they feel more than blessed to have you as their boss. Your energy on the phone is contiguous, comes with an infectious smile, e go cheer even the saddest person back to life. I'm grateful for the privilege to serve under your employ. You have my loyalty 100percent. I see RadAuto taking over the automobile mechanic industry in the nearest future and I'm willing to continue to be a part of that success. I do not think there are two of your kind. You turned 2020 around, for me especially. Pray earnestly for a #BossLikeRad I'M GRATEFUL MA. 27 Likes |

jpworld: First off, that scanner isn't anything close to the ones she's been giving out. Lets use the most recent one for example...find attached a screenshot with price, convert to naira. #FactsOnly Don't be so desperate to downplay a kind gesture, especially with lies, kust because you want to justify your wicked act, watch and learn, you're at best, a student in tbe game, take the backseat till you yield yourself to God to touch you. Secondly, she's no politician, infact she's far from that. She's a smart business woman, with a heart of Gold. Her mom's gateman is still waiting for his christmas package this year, as he wouldn't stop talking about how the one for last year lasted him till April. He's praying so hard for her to come home this christmas, so she can (in his words) "show him love". She's the type that looks through what people with your kind of mentality cannot see. If only you know how many lips dey pray for this kind hearted woman on a daily. No exaggerations, e pass 100. In the end bros, like I'd always say, let your purpose in life be directed towards "ADDING VALUE TO HUMANITY". No be until you get 30billion. Try light your candle for others to fit come use am take light their own, no cover am. Until you begin to touch lives, in your own little way, well...make I off mic #PrayForGraceMyGee 20 Likes

Wow... ThatNiccur I didn't expect you to comment.... I didn't even know you still read here... I don't know what to say... I'm finding out some things just now and I'm short of words. Thank you and like I always tell you guys, I'm just returning what I get. Stay you ![]() In response to jpworld's comment about the giveaway, you still don't get it. First, you're wrong about the scanners. Second, even if the scanners cost N500 it's not about the money. It's about what helps people. I could have given out cash but how would that help people or my mission? Cash would be gone quick but the scanner lasts as long as the car and helps many. Mr JP do some self reflection and realise EVERYTHING ISN'T ABOUT MONEY and I guarantee you will have a better quality of life. EDIT: 17. 17 scanners ![]() 22 Likes |

Whenever you close your eyes and open your heart to pray to God, do not forget to ask for the principal thing, which is Wisdom. Some would pray to have money, forgetting that it takes wisdom to multiply it and when the money finishes they go back to God to ask for more (lack of wisdom) I am not here to preach, but in a country where the leaders are not making it easy for us, everyone is looking for ways to cut corners, if you find someone who is LOYAL, Honest, you need to appreciate that cus it is not easy. Just recently, i had a business transaction with a friend, I transferred the cash to him, we got the items, did one or two and we made profit from it. I didnt oversee the transaction as I left everything for him to handle. Now this is where it gets interesting, when he gave me the breakdown on expenses he made (not the first, second or third time I have experienced this with him), he inflated almost everything, yet we shared the profit equally despite me putting a larger % of the capital. Well I kept quiet. Keeping quiet doesnt make me a fool or less of a man, I chose to ignore. He isnt honest but I still need him Why am i saying this : In Business, everyone cant adopt same model, some decisions will be driven by personal experience while some maybe emotional or sentimental attachment. JP, whatever business model u have chosen, good for you. Your decisions are as a result of making this basically your major source of income (maybe) and you are trying to protect it, I understand that as well, even the bible says where your treasure is lies your heart. The issue alot of people are having with you is the fact you try to shove your model down our throat and make it look like it's the best decision so far. Your fire brigade method might indirectly be taking away something from you, you may not notice it now but in future it prolly would get clearer. Kudos to everyone contributing positively, you guys are doing well. 19 Likes |

jpworld: Point of correction sir, I'm not a driver and calling me a hoodlum is an insult to me (no vex). Please sir If you think no driver is worthy of your Tesla cars, drive them alone, or, maybe your family members are trustworthy to deliver or you park them. You can't have what you condemn, you can't have a good driver when you're condemning them. Yes, drivers are one of the most difficult set of workers to manage, but I think diplomacy pays. I can't imagine how people come here to condemn drivers, yet the same drivers are serving them. If you have a bad driver, deal with him as a person instead of generalizing it because there are good ones out there. your recruitment process determines the kinda driver you'll get. @Felicity matter: wasn't the car tracked? Did he use GSM/GPS jammer to freeze the tracker? This one weak me. Oya, Felicity0001 come and defend yourself, were you working with NCDC? 5 Likes 1 Share |

Majority of Nigerian drivers still find it difficult to understand that cars fitted with engines below 2.4 aren't meant for highways/long distance journey. The RPM of a v6/v8 (or more) engines at 140 are far lower than that of an i4, More cylinders = lower RPM, less vibration, etc. A Toyota Corolla traveling above 100km/h burns more fuel than a Toyota Camry traveling at same speed. These cars are designed for different purposes. 7 Likes |

calabardick: Well that is transport business for you .. You have to monitor at least try to monitor from driver to mechanic when it comes to repairs ... Will continue to enforce opening the gallon of engine oil before we give it to anyone to do oil change..... The Civic still runs ok but will do engine flush on Monday or so . We bought Liquid moly engine flush from a nairandlander ..And I read great reviews about it online.......civic engine are very strong ..

calabardick: Unfortunately the mechanic we were using at Ladipo pass away about 1 year ago or so .. He died under weird or maybe preventable illness .. Some said it was jazz etc me I don't know.. While he was sick we notice certain things he was hiding from us came out .. I was upset at him when the truth came out. And I was planning to spark for him and let him know how unhappy I was with him .... But he died shortly after that.. It was a sad situation. This particular Civic with sludge was given to the first driver as tokunbo.. He drove the car for at least 1 year plus. All we did was oil change and basic maintenance. When we forcefully took the car from the driver is when we did any repairs .. The repair cost was roughly maybe 50k naira or so .. We had to take steering rack from another tokunbo civic that have not put on the road yet for this red.. But since than the car is very ok and low on maintenance.. The civic mechanic specialist I used in the past was just useless.. He seems to be very good ,but you have to chase him around to do his job.. It got to a point I felt I was begging him with money to do his job.. I no get time ,so from time to time I use Ayo Bishop to do small repairs here and there.. Once you get a very good civic your repair cost is down .. But with any car it boils down to finding the rite mechanic for the Job... So for now I don't have an official mechanic, once I can do the basic maintenance on the cars , mechanic visit will be less or just basic fixes that any blind mechanic can attended.. Sometimes it sounds simple, I once had a mechanic in front of me empty a whole 5quart of oil into the engine without checking the oil level.. The car had too much oil inside, something so simple can become disastrous for your car..... 2 Likes |
