I don't have time for truck drivers, agberos, youths, police wahala and high BP. People think haulage business is for the faint hearted, one even said he'll drive the truck himself
Omo, I deserve soft life so, I'll pick the Benz. I'm not saying haulage is bad but there are some experiences I'm not interested in having again eg diverted goods, stolen batteries, spare tires and diesel and most especially, crazy drivers. The Benz can earn income for me if I'm interested without much drama at least motor go sleep for my house make I dey see am

If properly engaged way more than 400k for a truck of that size in a whole week.
I have done 15 tons before which is not even as large as that one in question (which looks like 45tons dump truck).
I currently do a couple of 5 tonners. 200-300k daily on each if engaged.
A friend has just one 7.5 tons, he is a heavy risk taker, left his management job, flew to Germany and got his truck. Drives it himself and services two companies along with personal runs focusing out of state ie he prefers long distance. Guy, he does Lagos to Abuja, kano, kaduna etc starting from 2.8 to as high as 4m. Does it as much as 3 trips weekly.
If you have that hawo hauling granite and sand eg ITB concrete at eko Atlantic surely 400k will be pittance for a weeks work.
The issue is what kind of truck you have and how you engage it.

Four drug kingpins identified as Ogbuji Christian Ifeanyi; Iloduba Augustine Chinonye; Shuaibu Nuhu Isa (a.k.a Don) and Zidon Zurga, have been convicted and sentenced to a total of 95 years in prison by the Federal High Court in Lagos and Yola, Adamawa State over trafficking of cocaine and skunk worth over N4.6 billion.


A statement released by NDLEA spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, on Friday, March 7, says Ogbuji was intercepted by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) Ikeja, Lagos, on Wednesday, September 18, 2024, during an inward clearance of Ethiopian Airlines flight passengers from Addis Ababa to Lagos, for importing 817 wraps of cocaine weighing 19.40 kilograms with an estimated street value of Four Billion Six Hundred and Fifty-Six Million Naira (N4,656,000,000.00).


Babafemi mentioned that Ogbuji's arrest was barely 16 months after the 48-year-old businessman was arrested and convicted for ingesting 93 pellets of cocaine.

‘’He was first arrested at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (NAIA) Abuja on Wednesday, May 10, 2023, upon arrival from Uganda via Addis Ababa, onboard Ethiopian Airlines flight ET 951 for ingesting 93 pellets of cocaine with a gross weight of 1.986kg. He was subsequently arraigned before Federal High Court 12 Abuja presided over by Hon. Justice Mobolaji Olajuwon in charge no: FHC/ABJ/CR/192/2023 and convicted on July 13, 2023. Ogbuji was sentenced to two years imprisonment with an option of paying a fine of Three Million Naira (N3,000,000.00), which he paid and was set free.

Not done with crime, Ogbuji was again arrested at the Lagos Airport with the large consignment of cocaine on September 18, 2024, after which he was arraigned before Justice Yellim Bogoro of the Federal High Court Lagos in charge number: FHC/L/845C on January 16, 2025. He was eventually sentenced on February 28 to five years imprisonment on count one with an option of seven million naira fine and 10 years imprisonment on count two without an option of fine. In the event that he failed to pay the N7million fine, the judge ruled that the convict will serve a total of 15 years in jail consecutively. The court ordered the forfeiture of monetary exhibits and other items found on him at the time of his arrest.''


Babafemi stated that in his own case, 51-year-old Iludoba was arrested by NDLEA operatives on New Year's Eve, December 31, 2021, at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu, for cocaine trafficking.

‘’He was found to have ingested 58 wraps of the illicit drug, 48 of which he excreted on transit in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia while he expelled the balance of 10 in NDLEA custody after his arrest on January 1, 2022. He was thereafter arraigned on two counts in charge number FHC/EN/CR/18/2022 before Justice Folashade Giwa Ogunbanjo of the Federal High Court, Enugu.

After three years of diligent prosecution, Iludoba was convicted and sentenced to five years imprisonment on each count, bringing his total years in jail to 10 years, which will run concurrently from the date of his conviction, Wednesday, March 5, 2025.


Babafemi said in the case of Shuaibu Nuhu Isa (a.k.a Don), 55, and Zidon Zurga, 50, they were arrested by NDLEA operatives on November 25, 2024, along Numan-Yola Road with 500.800kg skunk, a strain of cannabis, concealed in a pilot Toyota Hilux vehicle marked Lagos NT 829 AAA and a Prado SUV with a fake presidency number plate 01B-266 FG.


They were later arraigned before Justice Bala Usman in charge number: FHC/YL/150 /2024 and convicted on February 7, 2025, to 35 years imprisonment each on two counts, bringing the combined years in jail for both of them to 70 years or pay a fine of N25 million each. The court also ordered the interim forfeiture of the two jeeps used in trafficking the illicit drug consignment.


Reacting to the conviction of the quartet, chairman/chief executive officer of NDLEA, Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (Rtd), commended the trial courts, the teams of officers who investigated and prosecuted the three cases at the MMIA Strategic Command in Lagos, Akanu Ibiam International Airport Special Area Command, Enugu and the Adamawa State Command for their diligence and professionalism. He said “the conviction and the forfeiture of the convicts’ instruments of crime will further strengthen the deterrent effect of our ongoing effort to totally dismantle every drug network in the country.”

If you look at our way of life – whether in Nigeria, Mali, or Niger – we are one and the same. The only difference is the borders drawn during colonial times. Our culture, attitudes, and behaviors are similar. This meeting is a testament to the fact that we are not enemies but brothers and sisters,” he stated.
