TooNoisy:
I have two questions to ask:

1. Why are the Igbos so afraid of Tinubu? The man last held political office in 2007. So why the fear?

2. Why are the Igbos so afraid of living in the East? Don't they want Biafra anymore. Will they get Biafra and still live in Lagos, Abuja and Kano as Nigerians?

Can someone answer Please?

Don't Yoruba have properties in London? Does it mean that they are British, use your sense s.

How do we say LIE in Hausa?

she is from Ghana not Hausa

wirinet:
Reno is behaving as if he is the only person that had ever been appointed into political office by a president. All the people appointmented by former presidents or heads of state had moved on; ie I BBC and OBJ. Even the GEJ he is disturbing us day and night with, he was not the only person GEJ appointed into his cabinet, people like Okonjo iweala, Diezani Alison, Stella Oduah, and loads of people who had better appointments had moved on with their lives, but reno prefers to live in the memory of the past.
So where is he following Jonathan to? Will he follow in to his village? Jonathan as former president is being catered for by the Nigerian state for life. I doubt he will need anyone to follow him.

Bros,you should be worried about the Sharp rise of high profile crime and insecurity in the entire country, you should also be having headaches about the indebtedness of Nigeria 11billion in 2015 to 24.billion dollars in 2019

As a driver-partner these are the challenges you will face as a beginner.


CHALLENGES YOU WILL FACE AS A BEGINNER IN UBER AND TAXIFY BUSINESS

1. Lastma, Police Vio and Road safety: U will meet them on d road. They will stop you and check your particulars and if u violate any law especially traffic law u go pay fine from d money wey u earn dat day. Make sure u carry all d necessary documents required by police and study all d necessary road signs. e.g No U -Turn, One way, etc.

2. Poor internet network on your phone: Issues with fare calculation. Sometimes network can be very poor. At d end of d trip Uber or Taxify app might not calculate your money well, d rider will end up underpaying u. But u can always report to Uber or Taxify when such error occur. You can take wireless Internet wifi along with u, should Incase u notice no network.

3. Aggressive Lagos drivers, danfo and Okada riders: u will definitely have minor scratches and dents on your car. You cannot dodge them. Okada riders will hit your car and side mirror, expecially in densely populated areas like oshodi, Ketu, Ajangbadi, egbeda, idimu, onigbongbo, idumota, iyana paja, Abule egba, orile, okomaiko, agege, ojota, mile12 and so on. I will suggest u have a standby painter and panel beater that will always fix your car when such thing occurs.

4. Rude riders or passengers: they will talk to u anyhow especially Ladies (Oloshos and runs girls), but you must be professional and do not fight or insult them , that will lead to low rating and permanent deactivation. They are likely to report you and accuse you of what you didn’t do. Eg Dorcas fapson and Taxify driver. Google and read d story, is online.

5. Fraudulent Riders: They will not pay u at end of the trip. They will sha look for a way to avoid paying u.Eg I forgot my ATM card at home, send me your account number I will transfer the money to your account, pls park I want to use the ATM and they come back telling u there is no money in their account, some might even runaway from there.

6. Interpersonal Relationship skills: some riders especially ladies notice say you be handsome driver they would come and sit in the front want you to chat them up. If u be guy wey no get correct yarns. Omo nah low rating O! So u gast dey inform and keep abreast with trends and latest gossips and news in town. That is what they like. If possible u entertain them. ( this advice nah for handsome drivers only)

7. Good customer service: Ensure you treat riders with respect. Speak to them in a polite manner. Don’t be rude and arrogant . Make them feel comfortable And make sure you have mints, pen and paper, Aux cable for music if your car has auxiliary output, savet or tissue paper, umbrella and so on. At any point in time they might want to request for it, and if you don’t have it nah low rating.

8.Outfit and Looks: do not dress like person wey dey suffer. Dress well and look neat always. Ensure to use good perfume and roll on. Brush your teeth well to avoid unnecessary mouth odouriferous smell in d car when A.C is on. Failure to do the following will get u low rating.


9. Armed Robbers, Kidnappers and Ritualist: we heard several cases of Taxify and Uber driver killed and their car snatched away from them. If u must work at night, u gat to be very carefull and shine ya eye wella. If u go "nogere la san" dem go Kpai u. So be vigilant and at alert.


10.Traffic: Traffic jam in Lagos can be on a lock down sometimes. It will surely affect your earnings for d day, you won’t be able to do more trips and it will also exhaust your energy and make you feel tired. Make sure you have pain
killer in your car. For headache, leg pain, back pain and so on.

11.Bad Road:There a lot pot holes, ditch and bumps on lagos road. It will certainly depreciate your car faster unless you carried out proper and regular maintenance and servicing on your car.

12.Village people:; If you notice that village people are following u, Don’t underestimate their powers . u gat to always pray before u hit d road for business. You can always subdue their powers and keep them in check with ya prayers be u Muslim or Christian or whatever


13.Low Trip request or Lack of sales: some days can be so dry. U hardly get enough request to make good profit but don’t get discourage. You can covered up for that especially on weekends


14.GPS Navigation: you must learn how to use google map to navigate to riders pick up location and destination or else they will bombard you with low rating. And google map will help improve your knowledge about Lagos road network.

15.Flood: During raining season places like Lekki, Ajah and some part of V.I are usually flooded, u should avoid going there or else water might damage your car engine. When there is heavy rainfall, these places are massively flooded.


16.Fuel Scarcity: During festive period approaching Christmas and New year there is always fuel scarcity. Fares and surge goes up astronomically. Ensure u get storage for fuel, so u don’t run out of fuel to work and profits margin are usually crazy at that time


17. And Finally HEALTH: Take care your of body “health is wealth”. Eat well, get enough rest and take medication if necessary. Don’t over stress yourself.


As a JJC In the business your average expectation on weekly earnings should be 50k-80k. At most 90k in a week with surge.
( Before expenses)

As u get more experience your earning capacity increases to like 100k-120k

Though there are a lots of cars on d platform NOW. So you gat to work smart and harder to succeed

you are a good writer, as I was reading it was as though you were talking to my soul.I laugh shaa.kudos

I can bet u say no be davido write this post

it fit be chioma help am with his iPhone.

what has the war that ended more than fifty years ago far before the o.p was born got to do with a town where people stop to refresh in 2019.can't you buttress your point without attachments of a war that is a sad part of Nigeria's history to your write up.Remember that a much bigger war is playing out in the north east which is greater than the Nigerian civil war of the 60s. Make your points without reminding people of their lost ones in a war that led to the loss of many innocent people.

LazyGold:
This project was executed with just 77million $ but Nigeria throw 1 billion dollar on every project

The same amount Ambode used in building motor park in Lagos. You can see corruption in its real form.Africans have a dark heart like their bodies.Why is the black race backward?

All i see is people having fun.........get of ur high horse and don't judge ppl having a good time.....your life must be really miserable

paulchuks:
My dear before u comment or throw stones read clearly or perhaps get a twitter account to understand how it works. He was replying to a troll as per Tribal issues while I reply to the main topic of whom to choose btw chinua and Soyinka. Get that in ur thin skull..

From your statement you deserve to be blocked because you lack social media decorum.

Alaniyiokorausa:
please dear do stupidity run in your lineage or you just learnt it ?

it runs in your family.

afroniger:
Continue with your delusions. Las las una go vex go thief or forcefully collect the prize from Soyinka. Una go wail till the end of time. Pained souls.

These APC Guys sef,the truth is bitter than bitter leaf.

afroniger:
E pain am. Why are you and Reno in so much pain over Soyinka's Nobel prize? Those that made the decision have their criteria which Achebe apparently didn't meet (that's if at all he was ever in contention for the prize to begin with). Unfortunately, your opinion (along with Reno and his likes) aren't enough to win Achebe (with all due respect to his quality and stature as a great writer) the prize. But you can keep wailing as a consolation. Nobody can deprive you of that.

chimamanda Adichie's novel of' Half of a yellow sun ' beats the entire works of wole soyinka hands down not to talk of the grand father of African literature Chinue Achebe's works.whole knows deep down in his heart that something made the judges to rob Achebe and Reno just said it.

If she's a prostitute then she's entitled to less oxygen than you I guess. You people should realize that you're not any better even if you're a virgin which you might not even be

frowland:

GogobiriLalas:

GogobiriLalas:
Besides if you think after Baba goes to Janah, some khaffir will suddenly be elected as the sovereign in Nigeria as it is presently constituted, girl I have prime beach front real estate for sale in Sokoto just for you.

That applies to your people not mine.I am a Christian.

GogobiriLalas:
lol ok o..you don't even know you're already an Islamic country; you dey wait for news broadcast on NTA 9 O'clock news. Even on this forum try say anything bad about their religion and see how fast you get booted out.

Nigeria is not an Islamic country, we only have a president who has a strong lining to his religion and ethnicity but his time in office will expire .Nigeria is a democracy and not a caliphate or an Islamic kingdom.

You deserve to be blocked one thousand times because you carried the tribalistic ethnic sentiments you desplay here on nairaland to Twitter and got blocked. That is what await all of you on nairaland displaying extreme tribalism.

GogobiriLalas:
No ma, I think this is the Islamic century

such barbarism have no place in the modern world.No country is allowed to practice such and not in a multi religious and ethnic country like Nigeria. we and the civilized world will resist such madness.

GogobiriLalas:
Don't worry it will soon be your business when you are forced to wear Injab for your wedding as Mallam's 4th wife

Do you think this is the 12th century?

Sirjamo:
Which early nineties? PDP killed them all.

You and your pay masters won't stop blaming PDP.

[quote author= post=78202207]No mind the rubbish FFK[/quote]What do you gain by defending and supporting terrorists and terrorism online.

what beats my imagination is why can't Nigeria fight this boko haram war like they fought the civil war?
why can't they invite mercenaries from Egypt flying soviet era war planes and foot soldiers from chad and Niger blockading land and air against boko haram like they did during the civil war.what we hear are words like prisoner swap,repentant boko haram,misguided brother's etc. why not an all out fight to finish against these guys.
