I really do not understand when they call ipob a terrorist organization, ipob is a country and not an individual or a military organization..
It means " people of Biafra" .
Calling ipob a terrorist is same as calling oduduwa or arewa a terrorist organization

How old are you boy? are you sure you are mentally okay? I think you should visit a psychiatrist seriously

Flipfine:
It’s not as deep as you describe it. Many folks here said they’ve bought extra car with it. Toured two African countries with it. Only a few businessman or white collar job holders can boast of this.

So you can save and retire at your time. I’d agree that it’s limiting.

okay sir,,, come and invest in ehailing!!! I welcome you to ehailing business

SeverusSnape:
So what?. Did he kill anyone?. Is it a crime to be atheist or gay?
You might feel that it's morally wrong, But it's not a crime.

Oga Gabriel why are you so defensive, you already defending when no-one have anything.. ehh mr GAYbriel

It's wrong for him to even open his mouth to make such requests from you,, it simply means the family may be living above their standards.
His sister should have built a kinda relationship with you, so it will be easy for her to borrow stuffs directly instead of her brother getting involved in this kind of petty stuffs, this is a red flag.

Secondly you saying "because he didn't buy it for you" is a very bright colored red flag, especially when he does other stuffs for you,, it simply shows you are stingy and won't be able to support your husband with your own money if anything goes wrong.
Instead you should have just explain to him that you can't share such personal used items, because of your skin allergies .

Both of you are red flags, sense man jam another sense man lolz

What do you expect when almost all nairaland mods and even it's owner are yorubas!!!
Igbo people do not send you, you can fill your heads with whatever fake news you want, we no send!!!
Few days ago a pastor was killed in his church,plus 4 other person and over 10 people kidnapped by Muslim extremist in your kwara state,( a lady who made an FB post saying there's no genocide was also among the 4 persons who lost their lives) and instead of you to help call out your govt to act,, you are busy helping them deflate and divert the blame to igbo people!!!

Tomorrow go and form a Christian extremist group and kill an imam inside a mosque, and then you will see first hand how the North will Riot and possibly wipe out Christian settlements in the North,,
But in our own case we will never have sense because of political appointments!

Flipfine:
I agree with you bro. But there’re other things you need to consider. Like age, skills and skill set. How many work can you boldly say one is growing at in Nigeria?

What business can you boastfully say can give you the kind of returns ehailing is giving you? Terribly few

you are actually not getting any return in ehailing,, it might look like you are doing well, but in reality you are not making anything...
1) you ain't learning any skill or improving yourself anyway because the work and movement will not permit you to.
2)you cannot save for future because there's always one expenses you are trying to sort out, plus up coming school fees, house rent. Mechanic..
At the end of the years you have wasted, if anything goes wrong, even aboki selling iron condemn will be more better than you are.
Because you have wasted your whole life not acquiring any skills because of your busy working schedules, and you have also become poor because you couldn't save for the raining day after paying the exorbitant commission from the useless app company that still charges it's customers cheap fares at the detriment of your fuel and car, which you still end up fixing and maintaining from the little money you having!!!!

After this I'm not talking about this anymore,if you still don't get, then forget about it

The issue is you never took it as a business and you were ashamed of your craft. E hailing like any business is an actual business. Use a printing business for example. U get fixed assets, machinery office etc. And you produce everyday. Ur machine break done etc.

D car is ur machinery. U must ALWAYS maintain it. My car is overly sound even when I'm selling them of. I use a car for years on the platform n wen selling u won't know iz ever been used on e hailing. A car is like a woman u must care for it. Now imagine ur woman always vomiting cash. So extra care.

But with ehailing all your fixed assets are in one. THE CAR. it's your office, your printer (literally of cash ), your generator etc. if you can't make it in ehailing you will most likely also not make it else where

I save bro. I have savings. I travel do u know I have been living better than my colleagues?. But you must master you cash flow. Cause u get it everyday every naira matters don't mind kumuyi that said 10k is negligible na dere I know say em no know wetin em dey talk.

Bro I'm grateful to God as for achievements if travelling abroad(abi southy and Ghana no be abroad )for holiday na achievement and changing cars for myself and buying a car for my wife. And being able ALWAYS to meet my need by God's grace without begging. Then I have really achieved alot.

hahahahahaha laugh wan finish me,,, so your achievement after 5 years is to travel to ghana?? . You be comedian seriously!!!
What you saying is same thing I have been saying,, which is "endless circle"..
You will eat what you want,dress good, sorting out little expenses won't be a problem..
But at the end of the day you are still on same spot. You may not realize this now, but later you will

Jegheter:
Bro y r u angry. D business didn't work for you doesn't it mean it won't for another. I have used 5yrs doing this same business and I'm blessed beyond measure. No business I know would have helped me like this while retaining my capital and giving me profit also. Abeg relax joor

so tell me, what have ehailing job blessed you with? What have you accomplished or achieved since your 5 years of doing ehailing...
You might think you are growing, but trust me you are not,you are simply going in circles!!!

Ask yourself!!!, God4bid your car breaks down, will the current balance in your account feed you for a month?

ksmart027:
Abeg tell us the business, I'm interested.

so after I sat down and cried my eyes out, made research, moved around, talked to people,, then I will now come here and give you my business ideas abi!!!! Clap for yourself .
But the only thing I will sha tell you Is that those business you might be looking down on May actually fetch you more money than ehailing, I have an auntie who rented a tiny shop on my bustop, she sells foodstuffs, action bitters and small provision,, I was laughing at first, but I was later amazed when she told me sells nothing less than 80k-100k daily just by sitting in her shop...
But me that drive around Lagos with a car of over 6mil, avoiding police,vio,lastma, area boys, agbero, robbers, I don't even make that money daily...
So relax and think for yourself

Djdamian:
Hi Frank,

If you wasted four valuable years, that’s on you, not the business.

The business is just a means to an end, not the end itself. If there were better options, trust me, many drivers I know would move on to them.

Instead of discouraging drivers without offering better solutions, it’s better to keep your opinions to yourself, alright?

that's the point I have been trying to make,,, there are better options but those drivers cannot move or quit, because they have become stuck in an endless circle. A circle you cannot break without the help of God.,unless that car is forcefully taken from you (maybe accident or partner)which will of course send that driver back to square 1, or even worst than he was before going into the business!!!!.

That's why you see some drivers doing ehailing for 8-10years and still remain in one level, they really want to stop but they can't possibly stop because they have become entangled in endless circle..
It's way better to already have a good strong business at hand,and maybe just drive your personal vehicle whenever you feel like, than going all in without any other already made tangible business at hand

Dabadwela:
Another attention seeker

Pilots please let's ignore

I no send you at all, na you put mouth for my matter!!
I'm just helping out those guys who are getting themselves into a big mess because of people like you who won't tell them the truth and facts about ehailing ..
I was once like them, until I quit, that's when I realized the damage I did to myself,, imagine what I would have accomplished with the 4years I wasted turning in circles and thinking I was hustling...

ebiye55:
UPDATE

I visited LACVIS center at Cele bus stop. The place is silent as a graveyard

No VIS staff to attend

inside the whole driver community, it's only you that drove your car to go do inspection,,, are you even supposed to be there? What business do you have with the inspection?
By the time dey seize your car and start asking you for one document, then your senses will come back

Dabadwela:
Another one don come e never reach new month.

If it's his personal car, why can't he do the business and use proceed to invest in other businesses?

Why not list the many businesses so he can learn from you sir

easy to say!!! Why not do the business yourself and use the proceeds to invest in other business lemme see lolz

lovebird65:
I greet all the comrades in the house 😊😊😊 I own a barely driven Camry 2010 4 plugs and I've been wanting to enroll and become a driver for like 2 years now but I keep getting discouraged due to stuffs I read here that ain't encouraging, so I've been adamant and went back to Ghana to hustle more, now I'm currently back again due to changes in Ghana now I'm committed to starting this driving fully, I just registered Indrive and Bolt today and they accepted me immediately within an hour so i got happy, any advice for me would be appreciated 🥺 and if possible I'll share my first day experience here as well, I plan starting off next week,I couldn't sell the car back then because I had it as a backup incase things goes south, so now I'm doing this and please welcome me as part of the family here 😊😊😊😁😁

bros you are just wasting your happiness, because you are only working for the company and the client,, have in mind that everyone will try using you for their own personal profit.. December will be very profitable, do not play with it, because that's your only month to make up for the losses that will be coming your way from January....
My best advice is to gather enough money in December, then look for another business you are very sure of, sell the car plus your December money, you will have enough to start any business you can think of...

Ehailing will kill your car,keep you on one level forever and mess-up your mental health

GiftAbia1:
Hello brother this will be the first time I am commenting on this thread. I give you credit that my first comment is in reply to your view. Honestly I have learnt a lot especially from what you wrote now.

I am planning to start ehailing next year and currently saving up to get a good car.

Everyday I come here to read drivers post with open heart to learn and each time my company book ride for me I always engage the drivers.

Honestly these are my challenge as a newbie;
* The type of car that suits this business
* Location ( I believe I can learn in the job)

bros I beg you with anything you worship,, do not invest that money into ehailing,, you will regret it!!! And secondly you might get stuck for life!!!
Go learn a skill or business and invest that money, there are so many business you can do and still make money without messing up your mental health with ehailing.

Thank you Americans, thank God you are watching everything.
Our incompetent government introduced sharia law and claim it was for the Muslims alone, but since it's creation it became a tool to fight against and intimidate the Christians.. please help us ooo

Not Nigeria's united state but yoruba united state,and yet you depend on other ethnicities to pay tax and develop the state while your young mens mostly engage in menacing activities,touts and chasing bus drivers up and down the state

Someone that lied and faked his own death, I wonder why people are taking him seriously, his probably lying,, why would you pay as much as 10million if you were innocent and why wait this long to speak up? at least he should have provided statements of whichever account that money was withdrawn from...

Don't get it twisted though,Efcc extortion is very real, I have seen people who pay alot just to avoid court and jail time

Ajebuta lolz, you no get any problems bro!!!!
If you had other plans, ambition or stuffs you are thinking of, what other people say will be the least of your problem..

Anyone who tells you to follow your heart is lying to you seriously,, even if you go for the light skin big ass, you will still get tired, it's a normal thing to lose sexual interest in your partner, just take your mind off sex and focus on other things you can achieve with your partner.sex no be food

OBUKOMENA:
I also support her with my big gbola. Like, why would you want to deflate her tyres when she is already in your custody? She has every right to defend her property! Abi, na you buy the car for her??

What nonsense! What an oppression!

And they are recording it so as to use it against her. So, she should stand and watch you destroy her property? She has the right to defend her hard-earned property, mehn!

you have a point though,, though the beating was wrong but why try to deflate her tyres and put her through more stress when shes already in their compound, at the end they will still charge her heavy sum to pump back the tyres because they wont allow external vulcanizer enter that compound.. lasma did same to me

Coolant or water anyone you choose to use are all the same,, it doesn't reduce heat or do anything special..
The only thing coolant does is to prevent internal rust like radiator, water pump and hose plugs down to sensors connected to water channels, it prevents them from rusting and makes them last longer

BlindAngel:
Good evening Nairalanders, few months ago I posted here much pains and regret right now.

You are a very very childish man, see how you just disgraced your family Infront of everyone, in few years you start regretting this action you took today!!!
You should have agreed and respected yourself, then later you can give them anything that comes from your heart,, no one will put a gun to your head and force money out of you...
If it's 50k you give them and tell them that's all you have!!!
You forgot your kids will grow up, you forgot you will get old, you dunno if any of them will be in a position to help your family in years coming

I hope you will still think this same way if your tribe is forcefully ruled and your lands taken by the north..
This battle is a battle of the fittest, both side have strong claim to the lands, so I don't blame any of them (isreal and Palestinians) for doing whatever they choose to do to win

This is bad seriously,, people do not understand the severity of what's going on..
Nnpcl may be trying to mislead us on purpose just so they would have a reason to increase the price of patrol again, they would never rest until petrol gets to #1300

Whenever you bring an issue online and later find a solution, courtesy demands you come back and tell if you solved the problem and how you solved the problem, so others with similar problem in future can learn

The problem is not even the 2500, but the distance to the charging ports for people not staying around the capital and even the time it will take to charge it, you will have to sit for hours to charge cos if you looseguard your bike is gone.
Unless the bikes will only be used for commercial purposes just around the capital

Ipob is a different entity entirely from the terrorist thugs commiting crimes,,, calling ipob a terrorist is just like saying arewa and oduduwa are terrorist ..
Igbo is a language, Biafra is a place/people
Ipob means people of Biafra
Those terrorist thugs on a killing spree are ESN or whatever they call themselves, they have nothing to do with biafran people..
I believe With the rampant killings, they are losing support or have totally lost support from the South easterners

ArewaQuitessenc:
3 of the soldiers are Igbos, the Augustine Emmanuel fellow might also be Igbo even though his name sounds more "South South". My point is the foolish enablers of this senseless madness that celebrated these killings only ended up scoring an own goal. You are killing your own brothers in uniform and thinking it's "Zoo army" or Northerners you're killing...at the end it's still the Hausa/fulani soldiers that will enter Aba and start causing mayhem on innocent civilians.

When I say IPOB and idiots like Simon Ekpa who want to destroy the good PR going on in the SE are the most tactless set of idiots, I couldn't be more correct. When they are done killing all the Igbo soldiers in the SE, who then will defend Igbos when jungle matures? is it the untrained criminals who call themselves freedom fighters that will fight the Biafra with their stolen weapons?

I love Igbos but they need to wisen up and stamp out unstable individuals like Simon Ekpa and his gangs. Stop feeding the monsters that will come back and destroy you!

RIP to the fallen heroes smh.

your opinion starts and ends on nairaland, it doesn't count, no one gives a Bleep abt what you think

I thought buhari had already defeated biko haram? Or is tunubu just trying to tell us that buhari was lying?
