Ive been in London for ages, was fending for myself since 20yrs you either work or sink.
As for those of them refusing to take adequate rest, that’s their own failing, and perhaps regulators of Transporters, UBER for example limits your driving to 10hrs, we are advised to take a rest of 6hrs, but l want to relocate bck to Niger na, so l go on Bolt to achieve my target of £225 everyday l am experienced, l know when to take a nap, but God forbid if man come get accident Nko,
Who dey at fault.
Drivers should know them selves and stop blaming the world for their own failings.

Wherever you find yourself be it London. Nigerian, or whatever the economic status ,make the best out of it ....nobody will give you hands out , the young man you just helped that is going to PH now , it is up to him to make the best out of it.. Him going to Ph for a job is half the battle,
but I hope he does well and the same favor and kindness you showed him ,he will show it to others that are need of help down the line....

Babadee1900:
Let’s be careful and security conscious when driving at night.

Few minutes ago I was coming from Lamgbasa, as I was approaching the roundabout very close the UBA bank, I sighted a guy from afar standing on the road at my side of the lane, I was driving at a cruising speed with windows down, initially I thought he wanted to cross the road so I didn’t increase my speed. The moment I got close to he jumped into the front my car shouting park x3, immediately I floored the accelerator and swerved away from him and didn’t stop, I saw two other guys come out from the UBA side through the side mirror.

Whatever their intentions is, I know it is not a good one.

Meanwhile I saw this accident around Thomas Estate. Drive carefully, don’t fall asleep behind the wheels. If you can’t control your speed make use of the cruise control.

God no go shame us.

My first business I did was to import parts from Japan. And I needed to raise about $30k dollars at the time . I was still in college part time .. I was doing security job at the time ..
So in order to achieve my goals, I was working over 60hours a week ,I will wrk from 3pm to 7am the next day. I was stressed out, but I knew I wanted to achieve my goals .
My Point is for me now to be sitting down and open shop to sell oil . I have put in my time and work , I busted my tail off ,sometimes I ask myself if all these hustling is worth it or not . I had no social life and didn't really enjoy my college years...

I want through the same pain situation when I was doing truck business. I had two jobs so that I can raise money to buy Mack trucks, I was busting my tail off even more, you can ask Carshopper, I met him on nairaland through that period in my life , ...

So now that am able to find a business that is not as much stressful, not easy but less stressful compare to other business that I have done in the past. Don't you think that I have paid my dues? Dont you think I deserve a little break. I didn't steal money from nobody, it was hard labour with blood, sweat and tears...

The point am dragging across here is you have two choices in life .. Do want to be great and do great things? Or do you want to be average? It is easy to be average, but greatness comes with hard work and persistence.

You have to put in long hours of work , you have to get out of your comfort zone... So if it is driving for long hours, or staying in the office for an extra hour a day. You just have to do what you have to do. But as you are putting in those hours, make sure you work smart and hard. In the end those longs hours will pay off..

Lolz, dont believe everything you read online.

Someone said he started this uber journey and was able to buy 8 cars in two years. This feat is almost very impossible to achieve except by Grace or fraudulent act.

Now let me break it down.
If said person relied solely on driving on uber this is what u get :
We gat no idea if the 8 cars were bought as toks or fairly use but let me place a value of 1m on each car...

8 cars in 2 years, which means he maybe bought 4cars in a year.
1m X 4cars : 4m

To achieve 4 million naira driving solely on uber / taxify (maybe) in a year
This simply means :
4m ÷ 12months : 333,333 (meaning u should be making at least 333,333k monthly)
333,333 ÷ 4weeks : 83,333k weekly (this means u should be making 83k weekly)

To achieve 83k weekly, that means your gross should be about 150k weekly.

You are prone to certain issues that would pop its ugly head once in a while, these issues will take a chunk of the profit made.
issues like this can never be avoided : mechanical and electrical issues (shock, brake pad, tyres blowout, steering pump, compressor, ball joint, fuel pump, alternator, bad kickstarter), servicing... You have lastma, vio to reckon with once in a while. Bad riders, Bolt app malfunctioning cant be left out. Then unforeseen issues like accident, robbery etc.... remember, you also have responsibilities as well, i dont know if you are married or single but one thing is certain, you are responsible for yourself (feed yourself poorly, dont have enough rest/sleep and the resultant effect is a health breakdown and this will affect your earnings)


On this story, there are so many loopholes which makes it very difficult to believe. Dont be like those motivational speakers : my first salary was 5k and in 6 months I bought a house in banana island without stating how the money was made. If you can't state how it was made, then dont bother saying it as you could be passing a message in a wrong way.




On another note, it's really sad to know that people are juxtaposing Nigeria with countries that are miles ahead of us in almost everything (aside corruption).
Using U.S and England as a yardstick to support your argument is really not nice.
They have good healthcare, good roads, good basic amenities etc but what do we have here other than bad roads, epileptic power supply just to mention but a few...

My point here is, if you are blessed, do not use that opportunity to look down on anyone or talk with reckless abandon... In the game of chess, the lowest ranked officer (pawn) can still become a Queen (the most powerful piece). Life na turn by turn.
If you wanna encourage someone, then apply emotional intelligence to it...

Do you know how obese Mike Adenuga is ? If he makes it to his office on any day, he could as well stay there for 2 days.
Moreover, he has 4 office buildings right inside his house at Banana Island. It's like stepping out of your bedroom to your sitting room.
This motivational speech no follow abeg.

You're already mischievous, you think everybody is hiding under their tecno android keypad to troll? If you want to meet with him, today is Saturday, come to Bonny camp where he'd be by 4pm and see the person you are talking to.
Some of you will just come here and try to act superfluous when exactly you don't know nothing.

For your information;
- I don't tell stories, those are facts.
- You're subject to your beliefs
- I don't speak for myself, those that knows me here will answer you
- it's my policy not to engage in any irrelevant argument, I'm too busy for that, to me it's stupidity. What will I gain?

sexylassie:


Arent you driving uber here in Lagos, are you in bonny camp to verify for us. So I should travel to bonny camp, when smartphone can easily give us evidence

As a rule of thumb, never trust anything written online especially from Nigerian without evidence.

Everybody always claim big man online, it is the Nigerian way.

Or is it a crime to ask what an ex military man, an engineer in a oil company, man who has travelled to different countries still doing driving uber even with his tight schedules.

There are some stories written by the same person that are hard to believe, the famous one was the staffs he met in a hotel while doing uber
