ImaIma1:
You said you have been at home for 3 weeks. Just three weeks. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying you have to stay a year before you make your move. But you seem in a hurry to make a decision.

Why not explore options of moving abroad, starting a promising business, etc. Why okada? Your friends will not tell you about the cons of the job. You are only seeing the lands. Besides, how long did they start riding before buying the land? You need to ask questions.

I am just worried about why someone who graduated after at least 4yrs in the university will come and opt for riding okada after just three weeks. Students are usually ambitious when in school with goals, etc. But whatever you do is your choice.

Enskynelson:
GreaterFuture1, I can imagine how difficult this could be. Indeed the country is hard. I can see from your expression that you are quite educated. I sincerely have nothing right now to offer you but I pray for you tonight that may you find something better very soon. May God raise helpers for you.

Mires:
God's protection. The days of little beginning always pay off provided it is legit. Having said that, let me commend your insight. It shall be well with you in the morning, noon day, and night.

Awoleesu:
My dear,
I understand your frustration. But I'll advice you don't do rational decision! Everything about life is according to time.

Let me share my story with you:

Seeking admission into tertiary institutions in our days was a herculean venture. I gained admission about 3 years after passing out of secondary school. Within the periods sitting at home, I hated myself because even my juniors in school would inform me they'd been admitted to so and so university... and I'd think here am I wasting away! Well, in those periods also I'd unconsciously learned some life lessons that would remain with me forever! - The race is not for the swift! FFwd, today, I am not just a graduate but pursuing my PhD. Most of the guys I thought had gone ahead of me back then are still living with their first degrees!

Then came marriage...
My guys who married around same time as me all had their own cars before their wedding. Bro, I did all things I could to get even a small car too before my wedding, just to measure up... but nothing worked! I even got scammed in the process! But Lo! exactly 3 months after my wedding I was offered a giveaway-priced car! and while my guys bought Hondas, Nissans etc before their weddings, Behold I rode a Mercedes Benz C class in their midst! Many of them couldn't conceal their envy...

Then came owning house...
Again, many of them started building their own houses while I was managing a rented 2BDR flat! 5 -10 years after some of them had become landlords, God picked my call too! I bought a Manor House in a choice area with the option of mortgage or installment payments. My guys came over to see my property and one of them commented thus; "You no dey quick launch, but when you launch ehn, na oppressor "!... It didn't stop there, now as I type, by God's grace, I lord over many landed properties!

So, my young man. God alone gives grace and power to succeed. By strength and struggle, no man can add a single inch to his height in life. Wait for your time! Trust in God and don't envy no one!

It's good you're forward thinking in starting a venture, but I advice you, put the knowledge you have acquired in school to use... perhaps that's what will make the difference. They ( your guys) have spent their time learning the tricks of their trade, give yours too a good shot.

You'll succeed!

justified007:
Why venturing into okada business like them when you can just venture into more dignifying and less stressful business like POS , Bet9ja , business center and computer training school etc ? You will even make more money than them if everything goes on fine

Btruth:
I like your courage. And the Lord will see you through all your endeavor in Jesus name.

Writercruze:
My guy, I perfectly understand what you are going through, it can be frustrating. But you are a million times better than your guys who are buying lands and building houses through their every day Okada riding business.

You aren't alone on this, there are several other graduates out there who are facing the same problem. But it's not your fault. It's not your fault that after graduation you are contemplating on becoming an OKADA rider. It's our unrealistic and unorganized educational system I blame.

That's why you will see a graduate of Mechanical engineering who can't even open an engine or tight a bolt. Similarly, I have seen electrical engineering graduate who couldn't fix a ceiling fan. Some computer science graduates in Nigeria can't operate system very well.

So, it's a systemic issue.

But I advise you not to get an OKADA, trust me, it's not what you should be thinking right now.

Let me ask you a quick question; What did you study in school?

Why don't you learn skills like programming, computer engineering, software engineering, mobile engineering, content writing, graphic design etc.

With these skills, you can easily become a freelancer. Talking of freelancer, here's a resources on how to become a freelance ===> https://sidehustlepoint.com/how-to-become-a-freelancer/

If you need more guidance or assistance, drop a comment after reading the article on how to become a freelancer. I will genuinely teach you how you can earn enough to achieve all the things your friends have achieved within a year. And I will teach you FREE of CHARGE. But you must be willing to learn...

I know life after graduation is very tough. But be optimistic, nothing good comes easy. Las las God Nor go shame us ooo.

NofiuFade:
hope you are not in Lagos Sha because Lagos state govt/task force were seriously clamping down on bike riders, and consider the risk involve' can you try figure out other business??


Those friends of yours don hammer taytay from bike business, it's no more lucrative police and task force will just turn you to their normal ATM, or they will just seize the bike. They even go to an extend of arresting private bike riders...

Don't go that lane bro!

Buy your bike and start your hustle before you spend all your savings. Goodluck to you.

ImaIma1:
What were your plans when you went to the university? You studied a course for at least four years.

Was your plan to finish all that only to come be an okada rider? At least try to apply for jobs and improve your skills.

Your friend's destinies and choices are not yours. The fact that they are making it through okada riding doesn't mean that is the way you have to make it.

Think twice before you go into it because it shapes you from here on out...your mentality, your mindset, your ambition and expectations.

When you start riding, just have it at the back of your mind that it is what you might end up with. What skills will you develop riding okada that will be of help for you to secure a job later.

Please think of the future before making a decision. Stop letting friends' lifestyles entice you. Live your own life.

* buying a bike would have been a great adventure but for your opening remark * cos ur friend who did not go to school.....*
Are u kidding me?

I have a step brother who didn’t go to school but venture into farming and cocoa merchandise (cos that was our father’s work/business)... Now he is got houses huge lands and big cars .... so what?

I don’t have any of the above listed... does that make him better than me ? No! Does my schooling make me better than him ...? Never!! Never!!

That’s his passion and and he find fortune in it...I have followed mine too

My friend... you just came back from service you need to relax and take out time for what will fetch you durable riches and future fortune ...

Why on earth will you put urself on same pedestal as ur friend riding a bike ( do u think he is happy doing that?)

As I can see ... riding a bike is not your genre .. I will not advise you to go further ... but since u have bought one you may give someone for daily or weekly delivery
But for you ...
Sit down and ask urself what u really want to do with ur life ... no man on earth worth your reference... and I mean no man!
you are too much for that ‘thing’ u call house and land... get off my sight jare... you fall my hand!!!
