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

Based on the bold sentence, i will assume that you are currently unemployed? Please let us know if that is the case.

From your comment you simply don't have a slight knowledge about the e-hailing business.
Let me educate you, weather uber or bolt/taxify it's just a platform for both riders and drivers while the owners of these platforms collect commission for services render. One can operate on both platform with same car.
Talking of cost, make use of the two service providers with same conditions in 3-4 cases then draw your conclusion base of your result.
Edo State in general has bad roads so anybody thinking of going into transportation business should be ready to visit the mechanic if not daily but weekly.
So OP, just like I said earlier, advice na stranger, if you insist in going into transportation business and in Benin go for the keke bcoz its will be a brand new one before it will start giving problems the HP tenor must have gone and most importantly pray to get a good person. Since it's like I doubt if you'll see good people on that but if where to be a car I can assure you to meet a good and responsible young graduate. I speak with facts, graduates are into uber/bolt business both in Lagos and Abuja. But if na like or bus what do you expect? A graduate to stand so low to ride a joke or a bus? Think about it
[qquote author=folake4u post=84146576]



Hi there! I'm a resident of Benin.

It should be noted that keke is restricted in some parts in Benin. For instance in Benin, keke DO NOT ply major roads(maybe it does in Ekpoma, Auchi, Ubiaja or other Edo North area but as long as it's in Benin, it doesnt).
The only areas keke is allowed to operate is streets, local areas and majorly streets that are not motorable ie. flooded streets when rain falls, muddy or swampy environ etc.The job of the keke is to convey people from those streets to the main road and na there e end.

Well... As for the Uber, you might not make money there, Uber was recently established in Benin not up to 3months here, it hasn't laid full ground here and people complain it's quite expensive. Meanwhile the indigenes prefer Taxify(now Bolt) esp. students. Infact they're making money from people here. So I'd suggest you register with Bolt instead.

As for the keke biz, hmmm, Benin has mad drivers oh, they dont care about your keke, they will insult you and your keke just to spite you, infact anytime you see them just clear road for them, if not it will end in tears.


Lastly, why dont you do the Taxify thingy yourself? I think its more cheaper and economical to do. Its hard these days to trust people with your money esp. strangers.

my two pence tho.[/quote]

Guy.. do taxify or uber... The rate at which people order these services is alarming...in Unilag we finished exams around nov 4th but i stay in school till the last until the DSA chased students out entirely from the campus.. we were asked to evacuate... My means was to use taxify because i was wondering how to carry my pots, suits and many things... Then i tried ordering taxify or uber.. oh boy they were scarce.. students have ordered them finish ...lol grin ... before u knw it..if you order from inside unilag.. Price surge everywhere...i later ordered taxify... My taxify came all the way from the third mainland bridge.. cos i was seeing it on the map and i was shouting in surprised.. took it 45mins to get to my location...

My point is that taxify and uber business is booming.... This Nigerians would be shouting buhari up and down is sucking them dry.. but they have money oh.. the rate at which they order taxify and uber or buy iphones is alarming... So seize the opportunity.. if u start with a car.. one car can generate you another income in a year and you will get ur capital bck..in two years.. you can afford another car and put back..which would generate you double profits...think of how to earn and even be at home relaxing your self while others rush to work.. thats one of my goals to achieve

Information technology (IT) is changing everything.. why use keke when you can use taxify for business....keke person might lie and deceive you when it come to accounting of profits.. but taxify has records of ride and earnings.. so choose wisely

Buy a Toyota Corolla and register it with Uber in Abuja and not Benin because Abj has a better road conditions compare to benin. U don’t have to reside in Abuja as the agreed amount will be credited into your account monthly or weekly depending on the agreement. I am a from Benin and I know the roads are bad outside the major road.

My mind will not rest. I can't just buy a car and give to somebody in Abuja. I will not see the car to know the condition, if anything I will have to travel and I don't know anybody there or know my way.

If you are debating between Keke vs car, it means you haven't carried out a feasibility study yet. You are only trying to do what everyone else is doing without having concrete figures to help you decide.

This is part of the study.

DonCaxton:
Consider what 'Kekes' go through at the hands of Nigerian Police, their (Keke) Union and Local government officials. Plus restrictions that apply to their movements in your state. You may want to ask those who ride Tricycles in your area if Hire Purchase arrangements favor the owner.
So Uber might be a better choice in the long run, unless you want to give it to a driver to be making returns. In which case, they'll wreck your vehicle and return scrap to you after a short while.

For me, I'd go for Uber, and drive it myself, giving me full control of my investment. Both have pros and cons.

Speaking of pros, if you were in Lagos, I'd have suggested that you can also get a pro and experienced IELTS tutor in Lagos, by sending a mail to editus dot ng at gmail dot com.

Good luck with your choice.

I don't know how to drive yet, would have done the uber myself

First option

Uber isn't thriving in Benin as lagos but that don't mean it doesn't operate at all plus a car has good resale value especially when it is corrolla. You spend more investing in this business but if it fails, you can still recoup with minimal loss provided you have comprehensive insurance on the car. However, you minimize you chances of failure when the car is on HP. Solved.

Second option

Keke is wildly used in Benin but no resale value. Can't be monitored as much as a car. You spend less to acquire in comparison to acquiring a car but no chance of recouping even half of your capital if business fails as fairly used Keke sells for 250k or 300k. And when it gets stolen, that's the end of it all. Solved.

Choose wisely my friend, the ball is in your Stamford brigde.


Thank you for taking time out to advice me. I never thought of resale value. And it is very important incase I want to exit the business

Why not buy Okada? Buy like three or four of it and give it out on Hire Purchase. Since you stated Benin road ain't that good. Okada should be your best bet. All the best.

If you are unemployed at the moment, is there ANY reason why you can't drive the Uber by yourself but instead give it to someone to drive? One of the great thing i have seen about Uber all over the world has been the employment opportunity that it has given to people that are willing to work . . . .I think you should have a re-think and drive the Uber yourself. Also, you can't imagine the kind of people you will meet while driving it.

As an Uber driver and owner of the car, you have time in your hand to do anything else you want to do because you are able to design your own work hours.

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.

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.
