Blackbishop:
All I can tell you about most of your adviser here is that “Frustration can be catalyst of push and dreams can also be a push” in quote “catalyst of push”. Some who claim to be in the ant league but can’t detailed how they achieve it is so amazing and whack.

Most of them see this forum as an avenue for their myopic opinions and an avenue to gather likes to feed their ego.
Before they start another war now and one gbagada uncle who likes to join the band wagon of who support my ego joins to open up pots of worms and distasteful content.

Bro sit down analyze your options and make the best use of the info you have to plan ahead.
Am on the fence.

Lekan239:
well some graduate use the money earned during service to start up POS. Some go into vocational studies, some use the little money to start a photocopy business, some where employed in a job paying less than 600,000/annum, some became Uber partners/driver.

I haven't made up my mind yet, but Its still an option to chose amongst others. "I have a friend who is a shoe maker in my department and planning to expand after school" I am currently reading about ehailing in Nigeria, if I found it favourable and confirm that it will be able to sustain me, then I will do it.

Gentlelife50:
The peeps here think otherwise, why on earth will someone even habour such thought?

Gentlelife50:
Before nko?
I wanted to tell you to continue whatever business that gave you that money ,I had to refrain from doing so let it not be as if I am stopping you from making more money.
I know you are thinking of Uber probably because you saw our celebrity driver's dashboard, Bros better continue whatever you were doing before.
It's not as easy as they make it seem here, I don talk my own.

mrjaydee:
Boss, highest the money na 4k.. I felt disrespected oo. I was tempted to carry on, but she no fit even greet.. shey she dey whine me nii?

I'm very sure she would be nice to the next driver.. cos she was speechless when I left

Maybe I don proud, me no fit stand disrespect oo..

Death before dishonor

mrjaydee:
You guys dey try.. I duff my hat for all the drivers here.

So I thot I could get back in the game (Bolt).

First trip on 1.8x surge to Vi ( I was like really? ) got to PU.

Me: I'm at your gate
Rider: (female) I'll be there shortly.
Omo, shortly turn to 30mins, I called her again cos I was busy watching F9 on my iPad. She no pick.
As I was about to drive out, Rider came out without any remorse or apology or greeting.

Rider: I'm in a hurry, drive fast.
Me: stepped out of my car, opened her door and politely said Get the Bleep out of my car.

Second trip,
From my area, to Ikota on 1.5x surge.

Me: I'm at your gate, only for me to see 2 Big speakers, turntable, engine and a duffle bag.

Rider: boss pls open your boot?
Me: I just look at the loads cancelled the trip.. I kuku off the App. I just go swimming for one hotel around my area.

I'm obviously a lazy driver.

Cheerfulgiver I'll be back in the "ember" months. I no get that kain patience again.

Omo, u guys dey try abeg.

radautoworks:
this is a terrible idea

CheerfulGiver:
I told you your brain only sees fraud. That simply means he should cancel trip totally, and leave there.

One day you'll defraud the wrong passenger

Let me address your post from the 1st point

1. If you have a source of water close to the Farm, Getting GP tank and making borehole is just an extra cost to me... Why not buy Honda 5hp pump instead of the Diesel gen... You know the Pressure can burst the drip tapes ryt... Drip tape plus installation is 300k-350k

2. Land Clearing in Ogun state is 15k...making of ridges is 10k... Spraying of Fungicides will be done by your workers.

3. Hybrid seeds for an acre shouldn't be more than 100k

4. 800k can cultivate an acre of Cucumber very well... This is something I've done... This is something friends have done... My Boss dey even use 500k take cultivate an acre.

Same thing I'm saying.... Channel your resources to irrigation and Nutrition... The rest are just for efizzy.

Get 2 Benue or workers from Cotonou... You are good to go

[color=royalblue]Let me give you a little story.

I have this client that wanted to go into the haulage business. He bought two trucks; A Volvo D12 (2010 model) and A Mack (Es....it looks like Vision sha).

They both worked for sometime, and then the Volvo developed an issue. His mechanic said it's the brainbox. I used my two legs to walk the whole of Berger Suya. Only one man had it and he said it 450,000 last. A brainbox that might not still last.

He left that one first and focused on the Mack. The Mack later picked up an issue. After many diagnosis, it was discovered he needed to change the 4 nozzles (the ones that has the rotor with them). He wanted something original, so he went to Lanre Shittu to buy it. They said it was 1,900,000 for the 4 pieces. We didn't even see it in China, only Tokunboh which is still dicey. He has decided to change the complete engine to the old one.

When we tell you that it's wise economically to stick to these cheaper ones, we know what we are saying.

There's no HOWO that would give you headache like these two did. It's parts are readily available. The engine is not complex. The tractor head comes with spring, not balloons.

The funniest part? The same money they would pay you to use a Volvo and carry goods, it's the same money they would pay you to use a HOWO truck.

And yes, HOWO trucks that come from China as Tokunboh are also neat too.[/color]

davit:
We learn everyday bro.

davit:
Did you read what I wrote at all?

CheerfulGiver:
Lol. Advocating for dash Cam when you committed fraud. Abeg leave this kain thing for felicity.

You were totally wrong.

It would have been better to cancel the trip totally, than negotiate for extra money.

cuteralph101:
lols it's not...Its POS

davit:
Guys see me see wahala o. I picked this lady from Omole Phase 1 to Ipaja area on Saturday. She had loads that couldn't fit in the boot. We had to put the rest in the back seat. I made her realise she would pay for the load. Like play, when we got to the destination and because she told me she didn't have enough cash on her, she dropped 500 naira and even still collected 200 back. She also bought me pop corn of 100 naira on the road. The trip was on card.

I was shocked to receive a call from Bolt today that the lady accused me of collecting cash from her even when her trip was on card.

They asked for my own side which I already told them. The Bolt agent promised to get back to her.

I think we need dash cam in our car o.

If anyone is spending a lot of money on Agric... It should simply go to Nutrition and irrigation.


Anything more than that na Waste of money to me

Why buy staking net of 200k when you can use nylon Twine of 42k and e go still remain

There are ways to downsize cost in Agric

Nezzjnr:
Leasing of an acre of land per year is 5k to 10k

Land preparation won't exceed 20k

Seeds purchase is valued from 90k to 120k

Drip irrigation is 300k

Other inputs will amount to 300k

If a practicing Farmer knows what he's doing... He'll reduce cost and still get a lot of harvests

BAZ001:
Nooooooo I said I learnt a lot reading from Romeo3.
I’ve not driven for a year on the platform in totality.
2019 - I drove for only 5months.
2021- start driving part time in March as side hustle. ( cos I have a car, more time and want more money)
I don’t drive every week.
I’m addicted to this thread and I don’t know why.
Yes my mentality almost got messed up, interacting with olosho, touts, fake alerts, oven, fear of robbery and police/Lastma everyday.
A young guy can easily start doing yahoo if he sees the way small boys spend money and he’s driving them.
Driving to earn a living is not easy for me, unlike you and the ants.

Last last... I know say both of una go meet one day.. Settle all these for one better Joint with a good pepper soup and drink

CheerfulGiver:
How about a 2020 corolla vs a 2020 IVM connect? It's unfair we are even using a 2006 vs 2020

Undermine felicity? Everyday.

kanuisagoat:
Just to weigh in on the ongoing discussion, I'm with Pearl1910 on this and will not touch the new innoson. My reasons are stated below

1. The vehicle can only be maintained at the dealership, your average kazeem cannot fix it. If there's something I know about dealerships, it's that vehicles can stay with them for one week because because of a fault that can be resolved by a kazeem in one day. That's extended downtime which is a killer for the business.

2. I know that warranties are not absolute. When something breaks, you start hearing that part is not covered in the warranty or that the warranty for that part has expired. Since you have to rely on the dealership for the part, it will cost an arm and leg.

3. Some of the parts will not be readily available. Sometimes they may have to import them from outside the country.

4. I always plan my exit before I start any business. If I buy the vehicle and things don't go as planned and I have to cut my losses, I'll incur more losses selling the innoson vs selling the Corolla.

Please note that I hate buying used things. If I can afford a brand new corolla I won't even think twice, at least I know the parts are available and the vehicle can be easily fixed by any Tom, dick and Harry

Pearl1910:
lols these guys...
Yes, like I said it's short term gain.
Few years back I bought original brake pads for 15k at the time. I forgot they use to change brake pads in cars for like 2yrs. Isn't that better than buying 3k n paying workmanship every 3months in the long run?
Right now I am saving up to buy KYB shocks around 100k and rest for another 3yrs instead of buying 50k knockoff that I will change after 6months or 1yr max.
Preference Is a matter of choice and purchasing power but fact doesn't waver. For me it's quality first before prize.

BAZ001:
You are a prophet you see into the future, your prophecy came to pass.

I try my best to quickly chip in my point of view, but decision is left for them.
What happened to dreaming big?
As he thinks in his heart so is he, when you start thinking taxi driver from school what will you become?
I don’t totally blame them, Nigeria has gotten to a level that doctors graduate and don’t have jobs.

There is no way I will advise a young graduate or salary earners to resign and do Uber.
