Saw a video today (don't know how accurate she is or her source o) that said around 90% of of Nigerians earn less than 150k monthly. The remaining are spread across 5 other income brackets.

It should be correct. Any salary below 500k in this T-pain economy is management.
People earning above 1M, 2M, 3M are even complaining not to talk of people earning below 500K.

My immediate younger brother is a federal government employee. He has stopped driving his car to work due to high cost of maintenance and fuel.

So is not about office work or not.

A lot of people doing business are doing far better than salary earners.

I have some friends doing various businesses at Alaba, Trade fair and other markets. They are balling well.

Salary work is good, if you happen to be at the high earner range 500k upwards to say the least.

But someone earning 50k, 100k, 150k or 200k will come here to talk down on ehailing drivers 😂

CheerfulGiver:
An office person earning 200k monthly is better than a driver earning 200k weekly?

You're willing to sacrifice your integrity to say that a yearly gross income of 1.2m of an office person is way better than a yearly net income of a bolt driver at 9.6m just because you want to minimize the hustle? Because the driver has no discipline, according to you.

Makes no sense, but what do I know?

I'll rather eat 200k suya monthly and still have 600k left, than be any sort of slave that leaves home before 5am and gets home past 10pm because of 200k. God forbid.

Make una enjoy the office work.

When I use to do office work.
Once alarm ring by 4am, I must wake up to prepare for work. Latest by 4:50am, I'm already walking down my street to the bus stop to join staff bus. If I mistakenly wake up late, I have to call in sick or jump public bus and get to work past 10am due to traffic.

When people keep shouting office work, this and that. They feel some of us driving have not done anything else before ehailing 😂

Personally, I don't like working for someone. I like a kind of work I will do, that when I put in all my efforts, I can determine how much I make daily instead of waiting for Monthly Salary.

I'm business oriented, office work is not my calling. That's why I had to resign from my former work place.

Atk1nson:
I get you point, everyone is impacted by the circumstance of the economy but an office person probably can respond better to factors that threatens his income in a more steady manner or long term plan. That is why most banks will rather loan funds to an employee than a small business owner.

See examples of control -

- an office person can has a base pay he can use to plan long term. If you are earning 100k a month, all things being equal, you are able to better project than someone who could earn 200K one month and 20K the next month because his car is faulty of lastma seized the car.

When the petrol price goes up, an office person can actively target hybrid or remote roles to cut costs. They can move closer to their place of work. As an ehailing driver, petrol price goes up and undercuts your profits, you are more constraint and can only respond in a limited manner. You are dependent on the ehailing platform to raise prices. You may try to do offline or some other things to push prices higher, but that could cost you your place in that platform which makes it risky.

cheerful being on rental does not add up. Except the leasor is operating at a loss, cheerful's profit is being undercut by the leasor. Not forgetting the leasor likely has restrictive covenants that limits the free use of the car to pursue his aims.

It's like tinubu claiming to save trillions from oil & FX subsidy removal and yet going on a borrowing spree in spite of high oil prices. It doesn't add up.

Look, personally I have been an office person for several years. I have also been an employer of labor for years.

Now, talking about an office person. There are categories of salary. For an office person earning 300k downwards, how do you want to measure that individual with someone making 50k daily after all expenses.

Most office people survive on loans, using their salary to service one loan or the other. I have been there and still have several colleagues who are still office workers.

Infact I have a close friend who cannot do anything else aside office work.

Before the next salary, he's broke to zero.

I also know some office people balling and living large as well - this category earn above 1M and above monthly.

See this screenshot below, this is one of my colleagues. We are working in same company and department before I resigned in 2019.

This is not to mock him, but I use it to buttress my point. Been an office person doesn't guarantee that you are financially capable and okay.

For this hustle, experience is the best teacher.
The number one determinant of how much you make is your work tool. If you drive 0.9L, 1.2L, 1.4 e.t.c, you will make more profit compare to someone driving 1.8, 2.0 or 2.4L like me.

Another factor is your determination and rugedity to do the work. Can you drive for minimum of 14hrs - 15hrs.

You may take breaks in-between the hours o.

But do you have the energy to push yourself.

The work is not for a lazy driver, you have to put in the driving time to make good money.

Lastly, strategy is everything. As the work implys, learn the latest update and strategy from the gurus.

The telegram group have been very helpful to me to know how to adjust each time despite the high fuel cost and high cost of vehicle part.

So if you have not driven before, you won't understand what the dashboard been posted means.

Those dashboard to us as drivers are motivating and giving us the push we need to work harder.

More energy to all ehailing drivers out there doing good for themselves.

E no easy o

Djdamian:
Still upset about the 100k, huh?

Alright.

Dear Pilots,

Every month, I try to give back to society through some form of CSR. For this month, I’ve decided to focus on drivers, especially during these tough times. I’ll be giving away 100k in total.

Five drivers will receive 20k each. To participate, simply send your account details to my WhatsApp number, 09038128067, along with your Nairaland moniker so I can confirm you’re from Nairaland.

The first five people to respond will get it.

Thank you, and may God bless us all.

Thanks @djdamian for this wonderful gesture and giving back to the society.

Though I missed out as usual.

But I still appreciate the fact that you have a good heart to give.

Cheers 🥂

What's the back and forth all about between omoapena and his partner DJdamian. Please you guys should chill and allow the past remain in the past.

Lies ..it will make alot of Christians not to vote for him next time.

He should better apologize to Christians or say goodbye to his political career

How many Christians have complained about what he said. I see only APC online warriors complaining

Shimmaa:
Good evening bosses, pls i intend to go into uber just to keep me busy pending when I will sort myself out, I'm not so familiar with Lagos route and what are the likely challenges to face on Lagos road....

Do you already have a car? If yes, you can start with Google map. Make sure all your vehicle papers are complete.
No matter how you try, you will definitely pay your dues to LASTMA, VIO, Road Safely, police, CBD and possibly touts.
Good luck.

Everyone has been dropping their advice openly but everyone has been cursing and insulting each other here also..Few sane ones left might not want to openly discuss anything valid....I am not speaking for the dude tho, but I think you can just advice the other guy to be careful like some few guys have already done ...No be everybody be thief abeg.

I didn't call him thief though.
Beside, he's not a driver.

walecosby:

Everyone has been dropping their advice openly here. Why should he ask you to DM him.
Beside, that monicker is not a known driver here.
