Not everyone you meet online is uninformed. I didn’t get to where I am today by simply saving money in the bank. I have other ventures that can triple my earnings in a year. Just because I’m asking questions based on some comments here doesn’t mean I don’t know how to manage or invest money.

For an investor, it’s about turnover, and it seems that point is often overlooked. How many years would it take me to recover my capital of 7 million naira if I’m being paid 65k weekly? Three years?

Many people assume, “the investor just collects money while the driver does the work,” without considering the risks involved. Within those three years, inflation could devalue the investment, the car could be impounded, accidents could occur, or even natural disasters could strike. These are critical factors that must be accounted for. Who suffers? ,Driver using the car to make money or the person who invested his hard earned money buying the car in the first place?
Say no more sir...
Exact reason why I wanted him to come to Chapill hill today at Bankole Oki street, IKOYI...I wanted to lecture him a bit about CAPITAL, TURNOVER, ROI, LEVERAGE, etc and if he's smart as he claim, he will walk away with 20 million naira with a very fair/balance guarantee.
But cho cho cho cho cho cho won't allow him...rather Nebuchadnezzar is saying Subomi Balogun's company being run by oga Bolaji Balogun does not exist...I would honestly might have collapse my investment for him if he can give me that 800k CONSISTENTLY, because that obviously is more profitable for me...
My question still stand; what justifiable reasons do you have to advice someone not to invest more than 3 million in a biz that gives you 1.4 million in 3 weeks?
You make 1.5 a month, that is 18 million a year, but you ask me not to spend more that 3m to join d biz. What other info are you hiding? Talk true, I won't beat you again..

From the discussions here, it seems that drivers are earning an average net income of 800k to 1 million. So I think they are doing pretty well for themselves.

Attitude is everything!
It goes a long way to shape a person, no matter the amount of money you have or what you do.

Just have a good attitude/character and don't be uncouth.

U don't have to be educated to be civilized.

Maybe "insult and curse" comes with the environment he's operating! I might be wrong tho. You can't even call a gardener stupid here...

Here’s what I meant: In my opinion, this business primarily benefits drivers. Hire purchase seems like the only viable option, but it comes with its challenges. First, you need a car suitable for such an arrangement, and with the current high prices of vehicles, coupled with the 2-3 year period to recoup your capital, it doesn’t seem worth it. Second, finding a reliable driver who is mentally and emotionally stable is crucial—and very difficult.

Leasing, based on experience, is the worst option. The vehicle often ends up poorly handled unless you personally monitor it, and doing so can earn you the reputation of being overly controlling.

However, if the person intends to drive the vehicle themselves, then it’s a no-brainer—they should go for it. The e-hailing business is still lucrative for drivers, though not as appealing for investors at the moment.


Just my humble opinion
To be honest I understood you perfectly and I also appreciate and thank you for the way you have passed your info across. Way to go!
The question from that new guy was simple and concise; he wants to buy a car; give a driver with the hope of making profit. He is not going to drive..He wants to give it out! He's an investor...We don't need to dance around this thing...
At my level, I will never pander to the mob; I will not cater to those with base, vulgar or undesirable opinions, specifically with the intent of gaining their favor..
To all those who probably did not get my submission; I'll state it again.
If you claim a business gives you 1.4 million in 3 week, but you're advising me not to invest more than 3 million into it..Don't you think there is something you're not telling me? If the INCOME is consistent as you've been displaying and there is nothing hidden, why can't I put 20 million in it? Don't forget, am making atleast a million or more in a month!
Mr Damian, no matter how ridiculous a driver could be, if he makes 1 million a month and he STOLE 700k; remit 300k to owner, I will consider it okay. If there is a data to show that a driver can pay me 300k monthly CONSISTENTLY, if any partner has experience it EVER before, i will buy a Corolla this weekend...
You see all of us ehn, "we know what we know"..lol
At Chapel Hill by 10am, I'll raise 20 million if you can guarantee 800k monthly! Come and pick it up.. I'll be here till 11am.

You didn't say anything bro. There's no sense in the violence. Dapo dropped his submission and he was countered. If he has more points to counter back, he should bring it up.

My only concern is the abuse and curse. There's just no need for all of that. Just make your point known without abusing anyone. It's more civilized
Hahahaha, the point has been made and passed accordingly...Imagine if someone sat beside you and they ask you who you dey curse? Wetin you go tell Dem? Some imaginary dude on NL!
You made 1.4 million in 3 week, you said it's a VERY GOOD BIZ in your own WORD!
I say I wan invest, you dey advice me make I no put more than 3 million! Ah!
3 million that I will make in 6 weeks if I join telegram... Instead of you to advice me make I sell my papa land buy like 5 Corolla!!!
Even oga Damian say No don't do it!!!lol
Na me u dey curse, shiorrrrr!
Come to Chapel hill in Victoria island tomorrow come and collect 20 million naira for just 800k monthly .It's just half of what you make in 3 weeks..This is not TELEGRAM, there are no gatekeepers here..we go ask questions here..Oya dey curse dey go lol...All this one na Simon Ekpa vibes..no one cares

You're showing a man a biz that gives you 1.4 million in less than one month but advising him not to spend more than 3 million naira on the tools that will be used to make atleast a million naira monthly or 100k daily...The math is not matching o .
Frankly, I will give you 20 million naira if you can guarantee 800k monthly!

Conner44 you deh worry 😂 truth be told I don’t hold grudges and I honestly don’t take here seriously serious. I can’t even remember if we ever had altercation, but I remember the boss own and it was at the heat of it. Life is deep, they say it comes in turn, Who’s next in line? All these rat race and struggle will eventually end somewhere, but I feel some respect should be put on his name and not to be use to drive needless point.

About not quoting you was never intentional. I just don’t have anything to say on the matter that interest you. The fuel usage won’t make any difference. The app that is hottie won’t make any difference. What I gross or if I still drive won’t make any difference. I am just at that point where nothing move me. Nah my personal problems I deh reason now. The Job is good or bad is a matter of perspectives, all man should face their problems.

Life they say comes in circle. We are all function of another function and I guess that’s why we are here. So everyone is valid boss. I hail

Conner44:
pope191, how far? You know that you and I don't mention or quote each other ever since we had a small altercation here over 8 months ago but on that fateful day 3 weeks ago you suddenly became bold and mentioned me because you saw I wrote gazzuzz's name here in a harmless post.

After I saw that your mention (and getting over my initial surprise) I then empathised with you and apologised for it and let the matter rest. I have never mentioned his name again ever since that day till now just because I decided to accord you some respect.

Since then, there have been some occasions where other members here have written that same name to drive their own points. There was even a time it happened and I decided to call your attention to it just as I did today but you remained mute . . . Why?

Its like, in your opinion for conner44 to mention gazzuzz's name here is a taboo but everyone else can do so and there will be no emotional trauma on your mind? I ask because that same week you chastised me for doing it 2 other people we know here did it too but you kept mute undecided someone else did it here again yesterday and the day before but you also threw your eyes away from their post.

The below is a link to the exact post that made you quote me that day

https://www.nairaland.com/2653841/uber-partner-lagos-please-share/5816#132322000

The 1st pic below is an excerpt from the paragraph that warranted your call out that day.

The 2nd pic below is your query and my reply.

You can read and decide to ignore (just as you've always done over the months) and I won't judge you. If you still carry anything against me in your mind I suggest you find a way to cleanse yourself of it. I have absolutely nothing against today you for you to single me out for your own selfish reasons here.

I have asked if you've finally gotten over gazzuzz's demise to allow others write his name without any reaction from you but you have kept mute as usual . . .

Okay 👍🏾
Ah you dey remember 8 month ago, 3 weeks ago etc.....God abeg...
Wait, what's this all about? You remember you had altercation with someone you don't know his real name, his colour, nothing about him, on a faceless forum, 8 month ago!!!

I asked him to refund my 400k I deposited for the civic since he changed the initial agreement, this guy started threatening me that he will invoke the Corolla agreement I signed with him on me, he thought since he's with my 400k, I will have no option but to take his new proposal, but as God will have it, I just minus it from the balance of the Corolla..

After asking him to use the 400k to cover for 13 weeks ahead, I told this dude I might miss 1 week payment and he can take 30k out of the 400k to cover for it, this guy was telling me that I should put aside the 400k and if I miss any week payment, he will retrieve the car.
