Eizenburg:

Eizenburg:

No one cares, it's like an evil forest, the monsters preying on the weaker ones

Carshopper:

If u like goan kill yourself and be driving 24 hours a day, in timaya voice dey no dey telli person when the time go come.
What I always say is work smart not hard, it's not always by sleeping on the road everyday.

Mayor555:
If I talk this morning, I'll step and destroy toes... See them using the 'nothing in life comes easy' card anyhow...

So it's only you guys that know how to do it!

One even said 'Chinese come to Nigeria and make a killing', like like seriously? Can you ever be more ignorant??

Why didn't you ask why everyone wants to leave Nigeria for greener pastures? Why do people celebrate and do big Thanksgiving when their visas come through??

Kai, make I no talk, I respect some of you well, dru23 included, but your reasonings beat me!

Your environment has shapened your orientation, nothing can make you understand an ordinary Nigerian.

Every parents primary objective in Nigeria is to give their children education to the highest ladder possible according to their capacity.

Kai... These people, make I no talk..

sexylassie:
I have to clap for you for this one. I sometimes do feel disappointed with our men, we just have to manage them. I want my child to be independent from 16, earn little money working as a waiter or sales attendant, this is how hard work and responsibility is instilled from young age.

Btw,To be sincere, that is why we have lot of men child in this country, imagine a grown up married man still reporting to his mother about affairs in his home.

Luxurydriverng:
Plz can I have your watsapp number. Thanks

Y1nka:
Don’t be shocked if it’s dru, praising dru .., you dig? �

Everybody forming motivational speakers, anyways what do you expect?
He must do anything it takes so his money keeps coming, I pity drivers listening to him.
Na dem work hard pass, we don see them hard workers.

what has this got to do with feminism..na wa for naija guys

it is understandable why a woman can run to her mother over slight issues some times but for man who is suppose to lead his house that is a big red flag for any woman. if you call yourrself leader of the home as most naija men want to be called, why run to your mother at every given time, why dont you solve your problems like a leader you all are.

to your second question, yes. both of them can become waiter or waitress or whatever job they are qualified for at that age, i even support the acquisition of skills like carpentry, mechanic, tailoring etc if they cant find jobs that pay, the purpose is to teach personal responsibility atleast in countries in the developed world, you can see young kids of 15 or 16 working in wendy's, kfc, mcdonalds or doing online business like drop-shipping to earn cash and be independent before 18 it is a norm there, here in naija, we protect kids to the extend that they become docile an not able to fend for themselves when daddy and mummy is no more.

do you know why in reserve parks they dont allow visitors to give animals foods, because they become dependent and docile and also because they will stop their natural process of hunting and start to wait for humans to give them free stuff...

olalekan9320:
I don't know the basis of your arguments, the bolded is wrong, it's mostly due to their diet and some other reasons but not this

Felicity0001:
Its so unfortunate that's the society we find ourselves. Femanist how about wives that always run to their mothers at every slight issue in her home? Don't bring gender differences into this matter.

You want the boy child to become a waiter right? So what should the girl child do at age 16? A Waitress right?

@Dru23 you're privilege to spend most of your years abroad, a quick question? Would you rather yiur children grow up here in 9ja or in Yankee? lets have reasons to any of the answer.

Correct bros my brother was a truck driver in US for like 2 years. Now his owners operator with registered company and he confirm to me that owners operators a one of the highest paid job in US

Felicity0001:
Its why its a beautiful world...we disagree to agree.

Was on my way back from the Niger Delta today with one of the popular public transport system with lots of years in the business. Guess what? The driver was sleeping seriously while on steering. I was at the front seat and was also very tired and dosing off as well because I couldn't bear it, I noticed the slightly zigzag and eractic movement so I'd to sit up and then engaged him in discussion... He said it him self he was sleeping!.

No imagine the risk this driver is putting his life and that of his passengers and other people at even including his company and their property.

Now, the last aircraft crash that happened, was it last or there about. There was lot of report it was due to inexperience by the pilot. All lies.

The truth is, most employers dont provide the enablung2 environment for their workers rather are just after their business and profit.

Most or even all of these public transport companies don't have rooms for their drivers to rest after a long trip not to talk of even a bathing room or a toilet or even self a HMO should they or their family members fall sick along the line of duty. Go to their park every night you'll see them sleeping inside their car/bus the once that the day was good for them spend the night in either their concubine's house or with a sex worker with few hours sleep in the night and the next morning they're on the road driving putting people's life and property at risk.

Can we boldly call a 20yrs old boy a grown up man in nigeria? @Dru23 that boy is still a child oh this is not United State of American where a child of 20 is regarded as a man oh... Over here in Nigeria we still have men in their 40s still living under their parents' roof they still chop and say "mama thank you ma". So that child is still a boy.
I won't allow my child of 20 take a driving job, it's high risk to him.

You need to see the way these children drive on the road. Esp these coro boys, doing 80kmph on a busy road. It is that not madness? The annoying one is they will never allow you enter their front but the way they will enter you enh!

Felicity0001:
100%. But advice that young to watch his health closely oooh and be more conscious about his safety. Stress kills my brother and if anything happens to him God forbid its the same family he loves so much that will suffer.

True, every man should work hard to make his family comfortable but remember you need to stay alive to have them have the best in live.

May God bless every hard working men out there and also keep them safe and healthy!

calabardick:
Hire me na please! Lolz!

Brother did you say 100k? This is serious.
I have a problem here, why consider what he isn't considering?
If his family was important to him I don't think he would've done that.
You know what? Don't stop the good work but avoid bad workers, they're like the DEVIL, even if you remove the letter D the answer will still be EVIL, you can't make anything good out of them.

Someone was trying to advice an intending partner on this forum many months ago to scramble the idea of considering marriage as a condition for service. He said that married men may come up with lots of family stories for not been able to remit, that was so true.

My logistics officer is a married man with children, I met him as an ehauling driver, he's on this platform as well. you have to see how this young man sacrifices for his family. He's ready to take any task just for the sake of the wife and children, he doesn't joke with his family same as any task assigned to him. He drives every week from Lekki/Epe to PH, Warri and Benin without complaining. When my woman spoke with him he said "whenever I see my wife and children happy when I return home, the excitement in them welcoming me alone gives me joy, whether I eat or not, whether I have money or not, my joy is filled, it makes me a proud husband/father". He added "yes, my family is my greatest priority but I need my job to keep them going and I need them to keep my job going, whenever I think about them it gives me the strength to do more because I don't want them to suffer. Can you imagine this kinda mindset from a young man that is still in his thirties dru? As I'm typing this now he's preparing to hit the road to warri.

Right from the day he made that statement lots of things changed positively between him and us...

dckng16:
You reminded me of my earlydays in this business, 2017. I was paying 40k to my partner and was doing servicing of the car with synthetic oil of 20k bimonthly and I was handling all the repairs myself. It was hell for me. I knew nothing about the biZ before signing Agreement. At a time I felt my partner took advantage of me. When he noticed am a novice. But all these things made me who I am today. To say am over successful in this ehailing biz is an under statement. Looking back 2years ago to now, my account is a very fat one. It has always been the yardstick i measure my success. Thank God. In every mess there is a message.

Godfather10:
Nigerians are a funny lot with serious low self esteem problem, a job is a job and in all things thank God, lots of people are roaming the streets

Godfather10:
It’s up to individual drivers to plan how they intend to use their driving time, there are many UBER rentals abroad, and pay you must every week, sickness is never an excuse

calabardick:
Welcome back brother, long time.
With 30 you handle all the repairs? That's very okay, You're a good man bro, seriously.
Lots of partners knows nothing about the business, they just push in a car and put the whole thing on the jobless driver.

That 20 years old driver is a petroleum engineering graduate with second class upper, no job bro.

medd422:
Then mind your fvcking business and stop acting like a driver that rests is lazy. Pple like u cannot even drive for 5hours straight. Slave Merchant

. Where is our bleaching manager

shepherdchurch:
I started this business 2 years ago. Today I have 8 cars. You have been a blessing to me and I have learnt a lot from you. This is supposed to be business, no sentiments at all. Most drivers are heartless. Give a driver a brand new mint car not tokunbo o and tell him to remit 10k weekly, some drivers will still default. Doing business in the country is tough. The hardest part of doing business in Nigeria is getting honest employees. Dru keep doing what your're doing. Most drivers here will hate you for saying the truth.
