The STATE is powerful. After the fictitious idea of God to be deemed powerful, the next powerful element on earth is the power vested on government by the people; The next in line after that is the power in the thin line of love and hate. |
Tankunland:Your story is quite touching bro. RIP to your sweetheart but what was the cause of her death? |
dru23:Well said and highly informative. @phranco Mr Dru just did justice to your question and the part about giving out tok cars for 25k indicates you truly have no idea what you about to get yourself into - And even if you give out that same tok for 10k weekly rental, You will still be disappointed; you car will still be abused. Fact. Start with 1 car instead of 3 to atleast learn the ropes, otherwise you might easily chicken out of the business from the different frustrating challenges the 3 might be throwing at you at the same time. Understand drivers are human (prone to errors and afflicted with the same greed an investor has to rake in millions) and more importantly they are the backbone of this business; Never let a driver do key maintainance and repairs. I call that "nonsense arrangement", No driver will ever maintain your car like the car belongs to him hence, they will likely manage the fault driving the car to the ground or buy substandard parts. Lastly, I will advice you do hp if you don't have time to monitor/inspect your car while put on rental. |
Maccarthy:Lies! Most white people and even Obama write with the left hand, Do you mean to tell me Obama's thinking ability and motor neuron sensors are reduced? |
Crazy debate. Doctor is more important because without teachers we won't have a doctor. WRONG! The truth is a DOCTOR will always be important and indispensable part of the society otherwise the society will seize to exist! - Malaria is capable of wiping out a whole society without the help of a doctor. The other question is; can we have a doctor without a teacher? YES! Unless we don't language then being a doctor is impossible but since we have language, A doctor can learn by himself as he goes via experience of what worked the last time and what won't work. Everyone has an inherent tendency to learn from close observation or modelling so as an intending doctor. To convince you and not to confuse you - A doctor will always advice you NEVER to self medicate because their are consequences - But a teacher will always encourage you to study and learn on your own to better yourself which means we can also do without their expertise. So you see, A doctor is indispensable and more important than a teacher. |
AngryIgboMan:ok Mr AIM I know - you are known and carved a niche for being sentimental, paranoia with words towards situations you consider nostalgic but let me make your brain drift a little. First off, The universe is under no obligation to make sense to you heck; it doesn't give a f uck if life exists in it - Same way, reality is savage. In the real word, there is no such thing as good or bad but man happens to be the measurement of all things and they (man) make God a judge to weight in on the outcome (judgement day). Again in the real world, this God don't EXIST! - Never have - Never will! Life is game and ain't no referee but human tries to carve a niche for God as the refree that oversees Earth.(That's dumb to a realist but pacifying to an optimist.) Now let's get into the real world facts. The world today is a scam and deceptively driven, Below are the bullet points of scams I would like to briefly write on: *Bank *Capitalism *Government *Religion *Big business Corporation These are all fraud interlinked with several web of intricacies to control the world; to control you and me. Bank It will interest you to know the inventors of modern day banking still controls the financial system world wide, they do this using the US federal reserve, IMF, UN and world bank so basically, we humans are being played by these guys. I call them these guys because lately they don't have too much power in the world but they have huge influence and pull their strings using governments as tools behind the scenes. Go make your research to figure out the US federal reserve is actually a PRIVATE BUSINESS but all countries has their money reserve in the same bank treasury. These guys captured the world before WW1 and had always played both sides of war throughout both World wars - They captured African and other third world countries using the MDG scheme and the bank system fraud is still ongoing. Ghaddaffi tried to break Africans loose, they stopped life in him - Another was Saddam Hussein trying to free the middle East, he was also killed, Funny how they never get to kill the now late Fidel Castro regardless of how many times they tried. I will end the bank mystery here because I can never exhaust all. Capitalism You Mr AIM talked about how the Nigeria financial institutions cheat investors - Guess what? That is actually the meaning of capitalism. Capitalism and Democracy are not synonymous so the system will never work because it breeds cheating, selfishness and exploitation. There will always be a social imbalance, this is why Karl Marx the philosopher said, when this imbalances in the capitalist economy starts to manifest, the citizens of these countries that practices capitalism along with democracy will have nothing to say or do but hope in an imaginary God/religion; as he puts it "Religion is the opium of the people." Government Government is working machinery of a form of bureaucracy, what this means is gorvernmet is a business. I won't dwell much on this because everyone is always right whichever way they see it but Socrates was put to death for asking too much questions however before his death he was regarded as the wisest man that ever lived and here is one question he ask when he tried to make the people of Athens see how dumb they were for surpporting Democracy. "If you have a ship on the sea with everyone on board and the ship is intending to capside due obstacles who would you call to rescue everyone on board the ship? Is it a trainned sailor or we all vote for one of us who is inexperienced to go steer the ship?" This single question above led to Socrates death because he was trying to make the people see the flaw in democracy which the leaders at the time In Athens didn't like. I wouldn't touch on the rest points but my reason for writing this long to you is because; I want make you understand the world has been corrupted long ago before your were born and every one is just a slave to the system put in place for man to survive. Trying to go against the system is it for you to be faulted and regarded as an outlaw because in deed, man is born free but in chains all over him. Chains of capitalism, Racism, Ethnicity, Classism, Sexism, Religion, Prejudice and stereotypes and many more. So you need to read to know why things are as they are rather than letting your emotions get the best of you and in the process ruining your frequency flow of logic to solve problems or Stoic-tically accepting them. |
radautoworks:Gkakam! I don chop am lol. |
Heykayxx:messed up figure by me right there due to oversight. Bravo |
Felicity0001:I know this is irrelevant but I just want to feel intelligent for once. It wasn't Albert Einstein that tried 999 times, Albert mistakes were minimal and were mostly discovered and corrected by his wife Meliva Maric, Infact, Einstein's wife was smarter than him, she did all the writing in theory for him and also helped solved most of the mathematical equations that arouse Albert Einstein's curiosity that will later lead him to make sense of it in the real world(using the universe) which he actually did sucessfully, hence, making Einstein the genius. Nobody acknowledged or gave credit to his wife Meliva, All people knew was Albert the genius did everything. When young Einstein got his fame from his new found genius status for outsmarting Newton's theory, he was getting invitation to give lectures in universities all over Europe, local man couldnt resist women, he loved women and had (hoes at every area code) in Europe, although women were naturally attracted to him due to his look and status. This broke Meliva's heart and so their marriage couldn't work as Einstein fell out of love with her but she wouldn't agree to a divorce so guess what Einstein did. Albert promised her his Noble prize award along with the money if she agrees to a divorce, She did agreed and when Einstein won the award, the award as well as all the money went to Meliva. So man, the guy whom you actually referring to was Thomas Edison, Thomas was the guy who tried 999 times in attempt for an invention and made mistakes every time but the 1000th time was when he finally invented the light bulb. |
Lush100:You just said the price goes up and down. This confirms the interest rate fluctuation I earlier hammered on. |
shollywendy1:You are very secured with Stanbic asset management. |
pope191:Nice contribution bro You just talked a great deal. I like your financial projection. Good one sir. |
NYCnextStop:Sir, you know am not about to divulge figures here because the internet is wild but I made good returns before the interest rate took a nose dive however it's still a reliable and safe method for passive investment. Some folks throw in HUGE sum of money in mutual funds and never have a reason to lift a finger to work ever again and live off the interest from their investment. Let me tell you one funny story. One time, Otedola was being interviewed - he was asked, what motivated him to get into the oil business, his reply; "One day, one of my daughters came back from school, she told me, every one in class was asked what their dad does for a living (what did you tell your teacher I do for living? Otedola asked ), I told my teacher you always stay at home, you a staying home dad." Why was that? That was because, Otedola was already a rich guy into real estate and had enough financial securities at the time so he didn't have no reason to go out often then. That (his daughter response) prompted him to get into oil and gas. |
deedee44:Not a single risk, the only risk involved is you not investing - lol - Your money is safe with Stanbic ibtc; Even even the banking system crashes your money is still safe because you dealing with stanbic asset management and NOT stanbic bank, The Stanbic asset management is just a subsidiary of Stanbic ibtc. When in need if cash, you can liquidate your investment and get back your money within 2 business working days. |
shollywendy1:With Stanbic ibtc you are covered - You only just need to get their app to monitor your daily returns on investment as your money increases NOT much but good for no risk investment. My first car on Uber was from part of my mutual funds investment. |
Babadee1900:I have been doing this since I left school and frankly I can tell you, you leading him towards the wrong path. I day trade and swing trade so I am talking from experience. |
Vision2045:Absolutely, I see that. So technically we on the same page sir. On the side note - Mutual funds interest percentage changes daily so it's funny how he could earn 1k on his 1M investment one day and earn 3k the next day or maybe more in this coronavirus era. It all depends on the interest percentage. |
Vision2045:Financial security isn't just "shares" sir. I did hammer more on mutual funds and Treasury bills. |
xana101:Took me about 30 minutes contemplating whether to reply this or not because if it was that easy, you wouldn't even need any one's opinion who isn't an investment banker or broker. You need to realize that, the kind of investment (financial risk) you willing to take will determine your returns; someone else somewhere might only need just 400k out your 1M to make 1Million plus within a year and another might need your whole 1M to make just 1.1Million within the frame of that samw 1 year. What really matter is the risk involved, Now have you ever heard of the saying "The rich will always be rich and the poor will always be poor." Why is that? This is because the rich invest more in the money market mostly on financial securities such as Bonds, stocks, Mutual funds, Treasury bills, shares etc. Now most times, when the rich gets into some financial challenges , In most cases, his profit alone in the money market is enough to solve the challenge after he had invested for some time. A poor/struggling person will start looking for loan or selling their properties in time of distress. This is why the rich will always be rich and the poor will always be poor/struggling. If you not skilled or experienced to trade turning your capital into profit or you don't want to invest in the line of business (Ehailing) you currently in. Then your best option is Mutual funds by Either Stanbic Ibtc, Axa mansard or First bank. When you invest in mutual funds, Go home and sleep; although the interest percent that determines your returns changes daily but one thing is sure your money is safe and you always making money while you sleeping - Even if the economy is crashing you can't loose your money. Due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic making people to go haywire panic buying, selling and withdrawing - Ask me who are currently making money as I type this - Yes! You guessed right, Rich people because financial securities especially Mutual funds and Treasury bills interest will automatically be raised. Landed property is another option but not viable enough sometimes due to some reasons such as location of property , Not easy to find buyer when your need money quickly and it takes years for it to appreciate. So the ball is in your court and never forget your financial risk determines your profit. |
GAZZUZZ:Don't know how to go about this sir but I will clear code and if it comes back, I will bring the car to your place sir after the coronavirus lock down. Thanks sir |
GAZZUZZ:Thank you sir. I really appreciate your advice. How can it be corrected sir? |
GAZZUZZ:No issues at all except it takes long for it to idle down to 1000 on start up unless I put on the ac. I notice a little bit of rough idle when it finally gets to 1000. |
Baba Gee, I hail your government. Please sir, I need your advise about this issue; it's an 06 corrolla, I recently cleaned my throttle body and discovered it threw 2 codes (P0123 and P2135) and maintenance required light came on aside from the regular check engine light. My question is; will replacing the entire trottle body fix this or could it be a minor thing like replacing the throttle position sensor only. Cc GAZZUZZ |
dru23:Pathetic, I think his demise was a good riddance except for that fact that he damaged and indebted to you. I would advise you count your losses and let him go, It's his loss because I know for a fact not too many partners take care of their cars like you do - And regardless of what falls off the train, the train keeps moving, you moving ahead. |
jonaifame22:A civic will withstand more abuse on the suspension system compared to a Honda city. |
dru23:You stated nothing but the FACT and I can get behind that. The method I use in curbing this mess is weekly inpection because even 3 days is enough for a driver to ruin a car - I have had my own fair share of the bitter pill by drivers so in my agreement, if you don't agree to weekly inspection am never giving you my car and it has been working for me. |
jonaifame22:Go to a car dealer who has Honda civic available in his lot, Exchange your 09 Honda City with a 03 - 05 civic and pay a little sum. |
Duru9:atleast am glad you fully admit drivers has reponsibility to part payment aside that your 25k and 7k nonsense arrangement. Now the question is if he (Dru's driver) could afford it to pay that 50% part payment, would he he have dropped the car and ran away? Dru insisited he fixed the car, As a responsible person he would have begged Dru so they split the cost but No! - he dropped the car and ran away to come look for another car on Nairaland - And keep in mind, Dru also said the driver is owing him close to 60k. Will that kind of person afford part payment for a high cost repair? So now what's your take on owners insisting on 30 to 35k so they carry out repairs themselves? |
Duru9:Have been given out cars to have understood the psychology of drivers especially your kind whom i call optimistic pessimist, you know why? Most times, people like you look to the agreement to ruin owners cars. A driver can NEVER afford to maintain their partner's car like it's their own. I don't think you can afford to buy full synthetic oil for oil change since it isn't your car or you just can't afford it but can afford the 4500 nonsense engine killer oil. 7k was the agreement for driver repairs right? Tell me, which panel peater will straighten and respray a scratch, dented or bruised car for 7k? Again that falls on the owner. I'm yet to figure out any part you can buy for a corrolla that doesn't amount to 6 or 7k and you still will pay mechanic for labour cost. Isn't that more than 7k and another problem for owner to tackle? Dru23 driver doesn't do any repair and I can never agree he got into that accident on purpose now what doesn't seem to make sense to me is you having to come back him up; talking about 25k and 7k repairs - You mean to tell me no Uber driver will ever ruin owner cars if they pay 25k and handle 7k repairs? |
chatinent:All drivers are trustworthy until something goes wrong to take that trustworthiness out of them. That's my experience so far after given out cars to so many of them. |
Duru9:And so you feel the need to speak for how owner partners to run their business? If anyone chooses to give their car out for even a million naira on rental weekly, you have no right whatsoever to tell them how to run their business. It's their car and they have every right to make decisions with whomsoever is interested in partnering with them. Go buy a car of 1.7M and give it out out on rental for 25k and when it gets damaged, sit back and don't lay no blame on the driver because the agreement indicates repairs above 7k is owners headache. |
