If you are riding the Keke yourself, no problem but if you want to give it to someone else to balance you at the end... run

Even the most trusted persons still disappoint.

I know of lots of persons whose cordial relationship were destroyed cos of biz like this.

Do it yourself if you can on good motorable routes with high traffic.

It's a biz you will gain just the stress which you can still work at your convenience.

Thank you very much for taking time to share your experience with me. I don't have a side hustle right now and I will be depending on this 100 percent. I am getting support funds to do this so I can't afford to fail. You did these businesses in Lagos or Benin? The roads in Benin are not good that is why I am scared of uber as I will not be driving myself. I was going to buy the keke and put it on a motorable route so that repair would be minimal. Did you do hire purchase? Ie driver takes over the car/keke after balancing a certain amount? How about repairs? Who pays for it? Thanks for your time


If you don’t have a side hustle , why not drive it yourself ?

Why can't you ride the keke or uber yourself? Give anyone to drive any of these machines, you will regret massively. And loose big time.

As this is the only source of income u are about to delve into, shelve pride and ride it yourself. You are a man.

Uber is not a business, it's a static income alongside a depreciating asset, it's just to keep you going for a while until you can maintain no more and give up, the feasibility is only sweet on paper and cloud calculations. its not hate, its fact from experience.

Think of a business that can be grown while you grow, you cannot be innovative doing an uber business neither can you grow the business beyond the owners.

What is with all this keke and uber topics on front page constantly...
Can't better initiatives be brought in, such as small scale productions/manufacturing, poultry, animal rearing, fast food, mini importation etc...

You are businessly wise.

If you want the Business to be based in Benin i would advise you to buy a car instead of a keke and i would give my reasons below :

1. Keke are banned in most major roads in benin, meaning the service would only be restricted to just local areas which have more of bad roads
2. With when registered under taxify, your driver can make between N800 - 1,500 from just one trip, whereas a keke may have to make up to three trips to get that amount.
3. If things go south, the second hand value for a car, would be more than what you get from selling off the keke
4. If ever you decide to go into the business yourself, i believe you would be more comfortable riding a car than riding a keke
5. Private cabs don't get much disturbance on the roads unlike keke drivers who may have to belong to various associations.

These are some of the few tips i can come up with for now, but non the less i hope you make the best decision of the two.

If you are really getting support funds to run this business, then do it yourself or rather find something you can do yourself to avoid stories that touch, unless you can always raise support funds if this one fails.
Talking from experience bro.

Keke in Lagos you buy 670k weekly returns is 25k for Lagos hire purchase is 1.2 or 1.3 million
It's eleven months note the keke is the guys own

For Onitsha if you wake up earlier by 4:30am you close work by 8pm you will make 12k
a day weekly return is 20 to 21k in Onitsha and its a year hire purchase
Keke thrive more in Onitsha than LAGOS
Because The government of Anambra has banned Okada
So you can contact me for more info

OP..

Depending on the area u are in Benin.
U can go for keke if u study the area dat people there use more of it. But majority of the roads used by keke riders are very bad.

As for uber, if u are the one to drive it, go for civic or Hyundai as said by one nairalander. Corolla is good oo but insure it if u re going for that cuz na hot cake for car thieves hand cheesy

Finally, carry out feasibility study on ur own before u conclude.
