Bros, your English nor get joy

Speech filled with hope.

Doris4ever:
My question still remains.
With all you have listed above
Are there no driver on rental or HP remitting 30k - 40k weekly consistently.

I know people still doing well in this business.

Some of the points you listed are not daily or weekly occurrences.

Those people you know doing well in the business, cannot fork out 3.5m for a car just to be doing bolt, considering the reality on ground. That's a bad investment in my opinion.

Felicity001:
Some years ago you discussed about coding and all that. Don't tell me you have totally left that profitable venture and have been chasing instant peanuts that will not build you a good future and lifestyle.

Most Uber drivers have been shadowed with the poor thinking mindset. Let me just do this and not die, feed myself and family, their brains cells have been plated with short time goal, so they just want to survive for the now and careless about tomorrow... A myopic mindset.

Free your self from this myopic and menial earnings and start thinking of a long term goal that will better your life and that of your loves once.

Uber business will only earn you a plate of food but not a bag of food that will last you a life time. Uber earning will destroy your health, social life, family love and most of all distract you from attaining your goals in life because it won't give you time to think straight or see the big picture or any opportunity even if it's right in front of you. All you'll be thinking is how to satisfy your partner so he/she doesn't withdraws his car from you, how to put food in the table for your kids and wife, and how to meet up with your HP and own the car you're currently driving but you easily forget the same car is dying up due to its every day stress and minimal maintenance.

The people that suffers most in this Uber business are the married men with kids and wife to look after. Like have you ever seat down to think that one day accident might just occur? You might list any part of your body if your lucky and if you're not lucky your life? Who will take care of your live once when you're gone? Uber? Or Bolt?

Take time now and start building a small business even if it's a POS or engine Oil or generator oil business. Or spare part business.
Get a little shop, container shop, 40-60k buy some fire extinguishers, Nuts, spinner, screw drivers, okada engine oil and all that... This business will kick off with 200-500k. You that have an educative skills, develop more in it, go for more training, webminer, seminars and workshops. Meet people of like mind and build on your career do this vigorously for 1-3yrs I assure you will feel irritated like I do each time I come here reading comments because the comments are annoying.

Uber work no be arm oooh... The other day I asked how these of our old grandpas here ...lol... Do it and some of them say... Grace. My brother no be grace ooh... Your mentality has been washed to believe ehailing is the best thing after slice bread.

I looked at my daughter one day and I thought, so this girl I gave birth to in 2020 now get to 8yrs and her mates in school ask her what does your dad does for a living she will say what? My daddy is an Uber driver? God forbid. Na that day I started dropping the job.

Thank God for thief in January 1st that stole my phone, he also contributed in cementing my decision.

I drove on bolt for about six months, those period was enough for me to know one won't achieve something substantial in the moving Lagos up and down.i took the hard decision to quit bolt and startup a business. I can tell you guy, that was the best decision I've made. I haven't gotten there yet, but I'm totally in a stronger position financially, than when I was doing e-hailing. To me, it's not worth it

You had your chance, and u bleew it. Stronghold Koo, strangehold ni!

[quote author=Racoon post=123003345][/quote]I like you. Not really that ure obedient, ( though, I'm obedient) but the way u express yourself. A big fan

FASASI1:
😂 Baba I never agreed to pay you 50k, you said your settlement fee is 50k and non negotiable and I said it's too much. If you understand English those that mean I automatically accepted the fee ??

You didn't hinder my mechanic from check [b]and my mechanic was only focused on engine I, [/b]I never knew good engine doesn't automatically means good car.


😂 You knew I was using your mechanic, you even said I should be grateful that you gave me your mechanic like say na free work he dey do for me. The same mechanic you wanted to liaise with just so you can be getting 2k, 1k,3k from his work. Get sense bro


Stop delaying your stupidity in public na so you no get shame reach ?? You don old na, grown man with thick pubic hair

blame ur mechanic for your woes dude.

Pearl1910:
If U say u want to sell ur property for 1m and I bring someone that will buy it for 2m. I will take the extra 1m ontop and the commission u r supposed to give me for facilitating the deal. That is not sharp practice or iligitimate.
If I decide to give u something or leave the agency fee that's my discretion.
The deal is bring someone that will buy it for a certain amount. Not someone that will come and price it down again o.

If u could sell it, u would have sold it.

Even in government and in corporate world their are portfolios like that. They help govts get loans, grants and deals from international organisations and foreign countries and they get their cut of it. Even guys that help u negotiate loan forgiveness, still get commission. People that help u calculate your tax still get commission. That's how consulting started

DARLINGTON869:
Hello Uber drivers. Hope Nigeria is treating you well. I need your expert opinion on a serious decision I am about to make. I am looking at buying a Tokumbo 04 Camry or Corolla for e hailing business (Though I prefer Camry cos Corolla and theft issues scare me a lot). I last did the job back in 2020 (with a vehicle under hire purchase) so I have an experience driving round Lagos as well as using Google maps. I know a lot have changed since 2020 given the rice in petrol prices and car maintenance. I have had hire purchase offers but I just don't want to go back to my vomit again. I really would like to own my vehicle and drive to earn a substantial amount. Because of this, I was able to save some money to the region of #3•5 million from my petty contract works over the years. My question is do you think it's a wise investment to buy a vehicle for e hailing now bearing in mind the increasing fuel prices? Please I really need your honest inputs or suggestions. Thank you all.

kill that idea!

I must be sincere with you, I don't see Arsenal wining this league. They stil have tough matches ahead, imagine Westham, Brighton and Southampton, I fear relagation team more than any other team cos they have nothing to lose

Nlfpmod

relegation teams have nothing to loose? Pls, rephrase.

inoki247:

Welcome development

Still won't make obi president. That's my honest opinion.

We're indeed enemies of ourselves... There was a country.

In as much as it sounds emotional, we should learn to respect people's choices and decisions, irrespective of why they choose them.

Seun:
Fellow Nairalanders,

Today's presidential election is very important. We've experienced economic stagnation & contraction due to both external and self-inflicted factors. We've experienced an epidemic of kidnappings and violent deaths due to banditry, terrorism, ethnic clashes, and separatism.

According to various presidential polls, We are faced with a historic three way race. Any one of them could win today, which means that you don't have to worry about the spoiler effect. Instead of voting for the lesser evil, you can vote for the best candidate of the 3.

I therefore urge you to consider the responsibilities of the presidency - improving the economy, securing the nation, strengthening our democratic institutions, reforming the legal system - and pick the candidate who is most likely to perform excellently if he wins the election.

Vote for someone who will appoint the best Nigerians at home or abroad to their administration. Vote for someone who will unite the country and strengthen our democracy. Vote for someone who has the physical & mental vigour required to handle the toughest job in the country.

Don't vote for a mediocre candidate just because you think the best cannot win. Vote for your best. This time, your vote won't be wasted.

Thank you, and good luck to Nigeria!

well said uncle seun. A better nigeria is what we all crave for.

Yeye Bello, the young governor, God blessed, but missed use the opportunity. Buhari ti bere si gbedi won. Same people went to court to protect common citizen.

what an irony

Just dey play

Hendrixky:
Wait tinubu think Nigerians are fools?
The world is now going to realise that South West is not really educated they way they always claimed and secondly they are more tribalistic....let me see that my friend called Kunle that will say again that they are educated...infact na better slap I go give am..this election just exposed the south west
Owo massacre - No protest from APC and tinubu
Lekki tollgate massacre - No protest from APC and tinubu
Multiple Benue massacre - No protest from APC and tinubu
Southern Kaduna massacre - No protest from APC and tinubu

ASUU strike- no protest from Apc and tinubu
CBN deadline - massive protest from APC because their thieving governors are stuck with illicit cash

If you are educated and still you didn't notice this then your education is a waste

OR

APC made a monetary policy

- APC started complaining about it APC’s policy

- APC says APC has introduced this policy to stop APC from winning the election for APC

- APC went to court to stop APC’s policy

- APC politician is the CBN governor

- APC is the ruling party

- APC is the opposition party

- APC justices at Supreme Court tried to stop APC

- APC refused to obey APC’s court order.

- APC campaign slogan is Rescue mission.

- APC wants to rescue APC from APC.

- APC is currently on trial against APC.

I have never seen this kind of confusion in my life.

Show me a throwback thread of good speculations about Peter Obi's administration on nairaland. I'm here

ok boss

donbrowser:
Peter Obi's plan for Nigeria:
https://www.nairaland.com/870945/what-exactly-peter-obi-doing

We can see it here

these are just mere speculations. I'm seriously not the type that likes argument. We all know how prudent his administration was. For me it's just calling a cat a bad name just to nail it.

This is funny Sha. They're things bullion van can't afford.

Funny people calling obi a faliure. I mean what this guy have achieved legimately, your generations can only dream. Give this man the respect he deserves!

Massive turnout.

Jostoman:
telling poeple that only those that will vote for apc will enjoy peace in igbara is also a sensitization right?

He's a m*d man unfortunately, he doesn't know.
