Rotimi Amaechi said it last week, Nigerians will prefer to commit suicide rather than protest. They will kill a naija man's wife and he will go on with his life without revenge.
Typically, Dapotemi is telling Johncris not to put mouth in politics just because his kinsman is involved.
We will go no where with this kind of attitude.
We have no spine - we will continue to twist and adapt. We have no values - reason why tribalism, fear, compromise and corruption reigns.

Honestly no, I don't have control over what johncris would 'put mouth' or not to...I was qualified as at 1999 to vote but I have NEVER VOTED before, till date!!..so the issue of kinsman or not is not true...I am particularly weary of Nig politics having worked closely with a politician before..From experience on the field, I find out that Nigerians do not really care about who is in power so far they can get crumbs..The people supporting Tinubu knew he's not the best at the moment, and I honestly believe that the people supporting Obi are overly sentimental, emotional with a little touch of tribalism, crass, and they probably do not know OBI, just the bandwagon!!!
I was subtly supporting Buhari in 2015 and I remember what my dad told me, he said " Anyone who is old enough when GMB was military president would never pray for him to return under any guise unless of course you have SOMETHING to benefit'...I almost quarrel with him then because I have been influenced by the mob, the same mob that says even if Buhari present nepa bill as certificate, we will vote him!!! I will never pander to the MOB AGAIN...
Obviously, we allow people who had something to benefit railroad us into that 2015 mess...In 2023, I saw almost THE SAME group of people leading the mob on a similar pattern, and I said 'ALLOW people do whatever pleases them'..
For Johncris, I know his struggle, I have been there before, he's been on here couple of time soliciting for fund for one thing or the other, help can come from either way and he doesn't needs to annoy one group to please another, albeit politically....It's just WISDOM!!!
Moreover, election is OVER and TINUBU is our president till 2027, atleast...There is nothing you and I can do about it...I would rather prefer a discussion on how we can NAVIGATE this next 4 years, believe me people are still MAKING it!
I honestly think we should let it rest and focus on what this thread is meant for; EHAILING and it's associated risk/struggles etc..#shalom

Sir Felicity there's no essence trading words with him because all i could see from his tone is transfer of aggression. Do not let a kid who knows nothing about even himself use you to gain relevancy.

Bros, do not follow anyone to join issues on politics for now, especially nig politics because there is no shame, no honor, no regard and nig politicians and their followers are one of the most wicked human you can find anywhere..na people wey don chop belleful dey argue nig politics..You and I still dey look for wetin we go chop...Hope you get me and pls don't take offense o.

Travel / Re: My Experience In UK Since I Japa:WARNING by dapotemi: 8:03am On Oct 26, 2023
Don't let anyone criticize your honest opinion and don't be afraid to share them...Nig don't like hearing anything 'negative' about abroad...They will learn in no time...
Most of our compatriots have been thoroughly deceived by social media pictures and the eldorado that agent usually promised...
For the upteenth time, abroad is not easy as it seems and I will always say it repeatedly, I cannot spend 10-15m on a journey , get there and start applying to for job that I want to wash dishes, wash toilet..I just CAN'T!!
People who have 15m in their account here do live decently..That is ME! You can't pressure me.....I have friends who left this country almost 10 years ago, we are still friends, we talk, we gist...They are fine, I am FINE!
I grew up in a family where going abroad is a regular thing and going to UK has never been anything close to making it or living decently...Be careful, be careful...

There is no sense in single parenting

Honestly it's not advisable but sometimes LIFE HAPPENS!!!
Family / Re: Single Parenting: My Success Story by dapotemi: 6:08pm On Oct 22, 2023
Quite unfortunate to see an honest experience shared for others to learn just quickly turn to insult/abuse by people who had NEVER made a mistake..
There are more than a single reason why ANYONE could end up being a single mum...From death, to abuse (top on the list is physical abuse), to cheating! Yes cheating as it is a VALID reason, legally and 'biblically' why a separation might happen. I honestly don't know what the Quran says...Pls, let us be reasonably and fair in our judgement..
My former neighbour that I mentioned earlier had her hubby left to USA and no one hears from him again, it's been 8 years!!!!Just disappeared, are we going to blame her too? She even took a loan to pay for the flight ticket!!! Who knows what had happen!!!
It's not everybody that is a LovePeddler...some of us have daughters, sisters and I believe a woman birth us! Let's be fair in our assessment...

Wow one of the best I have read in a while...May God continue to bless all single mother/father out there, not easy at all..
I was once a neighbor to a single mother with a 9 year old son, unfortunately she was unable to manage the sexual part as highlighted here, always bringing in diff male visitor..The result, she messed up the boys life, it was once reported that the boy was caught with a 5 year old girl in sch toilet..I was so sad when I got the news because I saw it COMING and I told my partner that this woman will ruin this boy's life..It was very painful then, wanted to help groom the boy but not an easy decision as my kids are all girls and they needed to be protected, by all means...God's grace..

Proverbs 18:6-7

6.The speech of the stupid one leads to quarrels, And his mouth invites a beating. 7 The mouth of the stupid is his ruin, And his lips are a snare for his life. 8 The words of a slanderer are like tasty morsels; They are gulped right down into the stomach....

So please, which type of car will you recommend for one to break even in no distant time?

Honestly, I have not used any other car except the Corolla/Matrix..What am saying is don't spend TOO MUCH purchasing a car you intend to use solely for ehailing... Unfortunately, cars are very expensive now due to FX, but in comparison, some people here have sworn that the 03/04 civic can do the job...I don't think it makes any sense for anyone to get a car of 4 million to do Uber, if you have that cash you should not even be thinking of ehailing.My thought!

I greeet you bosses. Please is Matrix 2010 good to use for this hustle. As per maintenance and ruggedidity Asking for a friend. Tanx alot

Matrix 2010 is an overboard unless perhaps, you have it already.
Get something cheaper, the idea is to NOT incur too much capital when starting the Hussle, to be able to atleast break even on time ...Though, the matrix is suited for the job in terms of fuel consumption, am not sure about the ruggedity tho...it's not a bad machine and I love it's feminine outlook.

Lol if I was would I come here and put up this post askin for advice, cmon be smart at least. I don’t wanna be unrealistic reason I came here also I’ve seen post of Uber drivers making 45k per day minus fuel and Uber commission so let’s calculate. If he works for 6 days times 45 that’s how 270k. But I was thinking can this be real? If not everybody for don join Uber since ma why I came here to have insight from people who are in the business full time especially now fuel don go up. My target is at least 250k a month!! Anything less I just sell my car.

Bros, it is feasible..My driver dey remit 75k now per week and there is no problem as everything is going on right....Don't allow anyone to drag you back sir. They will tell you it's not possible, your car will suffer, they will even insult you but all na lie, na old format to protect the crazy money they make daily in this Hussle...80k is fine, just make sure you have a sound car ...Just read like 20 page backward, see the dashboard and make your decisions..Make ur decision based on "dashboard evidence" wey you see and not the nonsense they write here...I never even add OFFLINE o....that one na the "gas" wey dey oil & gas...No forget say na you sweat buy the car ..ehailing is the new oil..Cheers

Have you tried checking Jiji. Have been seeing clean cars there at reasonable prices. Though you still need to check with your mechanic.

Also, why not try other brands aside Corolla.

Corolla is what is needed....and I think the price increase affect everything, even bicycle..

"outside" is not smiling at all...I felt so unhappy today, got me brooding for a while....A week ago I put up a request here that I need a Corolla, 2003-2006....Our budget was actually between 3.7-3.8...
Today, I decided to enter market, thinking that the guys have been using are not effective enough..I Waka round Lagos, almost finish 10k fuel ....Brethren, the cheapest Corolla I got was 4.6 million....Fear catch me, I don't know things has really gotten that bad....For a 19 year old vehicle....A dealer presented a 2006 for 5.5 million, very clean, after so much bargaining he said he will take 5.1.
I was just angry with myself, with the country, with everything...Person con be like failure again...This country don finish o walai...
On a second thought, all this 1k trip no suppose dey again, even if na 2 second trip.....Maintain your car, you may never be able to afford another one, with this Hussle abi na where Uber man was see 5 million.....HP on a toks now go be like how much again ...I just weak honestly..

So I carried this girl from Iponri to Rita Lori hotel, Iganmu.

When we got there, the girl said she can't make transfer and doesn't have cash either, that we should withdraw at POS.

When we got to POS, she said that she forgot her ATM card in her hotel room. That I should allow her go upstairs to get it.

I told her that she has to drop her bag in the car before leaving. After much argument, she dropped the bag and went inside to get the card.

I just looked into the bag and saw something pinky staring at me. Being a bad guy and the place I was, I decided to take a second look and lo and behold, there before me is an artificial DICk grin

I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to do.... Nevertheless, what You've done is not good enough, you don't search a lady's bag, there was no reason to do that..Touching that thing should make you puke .....una dey try sha
