Please can one still get PTA AFTER one has traveled and maybe returned? Assuming you apply before traveling and weren't given till you go and come back

Nope

The rules have gotten stricter over time.
Who knows any bank that will currently still give cash?

Khafsun:
Please what does one need to be able to apply for PTA?
I heard it takes 2-3weeks. I want to apply for it now against that time by buying flight ticket but is it also true that one needs visa to apply? Not to collect but just apply

yes, you need your visa and your tickets

Any fault?

Felicity001:
Manual is not hard to drive even in traffic... Just put on neutral then use your hand break to release yourself.

As it is now self I'm.feeling like my left leg is dead, that leg is just there doing nothing during driving hours this is not really comfortable to me any more... If not for the stress selling of a manual car I would have gone to buy one since but with manual car your entire body will be active which is good.

Wow....maybe it's because I haven't used it in a very long while. Those slow moving traffic were terrible for me. You stop for 30 secs, it moves for 15, you stop for another 15 sec ....

dru23:
I will use myself as an example... I started investing in uber from day 1 .... Than my cars were breaking down and I found out was due to wrong use of engine oil...

Than I started importing engine oil for personal use for my cars.. Than I was impressed how the engine oil did wonders. I said to myself I bet I can sell the engine oil to other car owners.. I started importing it in small cases .. Than from there the business grew and since than have not looked back. ......


My point is that uber was launching pad to my other business .. I plan on going into real estate soon.. The weak naira is the only obstacle now .........

So life na stage by stage

Yes boss.
I always see all hard work as a placeholder for the time being and to save funds for other investments...even my corporate job

BAZ001:
I totally agree with you 100%.
My term Slavery in HP was to snrman1 ,
Meaning he will be bound to HP contract (slave) for 3years if he should get a better job or quit he would loose money. But if it’s rental he will just drop car and leave.

Hp - slave 3yrs- freedom after full payment

I get you now sir.

Johnnybegood12:
At the bolded, the answer is me

Welldone boss, e no easy

Glithronix:
Boss, as I said, anyone wey want copy you must be from the same planet as you.
You wey if dem block your account today, you know your way around to build another one. Na you I go want copy? I'm on a long thing be that.
You even know how to do destination setting 4 times as against the 2 times given by bolt. I need to learn this ASAP. bolt self go dey fear you by now.
But surely, your knowledge in this hustle is motivating and encouraging which learning from you is a of a dream come true but your hoodlomism aspect dey fear person pikin.
Indriver no work with my spirit yet, I just abandoned it for now.
As per the car I'm protecting, boss you know say wetin you protect na him dey serve you for long. You own your ride, you no fit compare your own hustling target with mine as I am a rentee.
If na my ride, boss, I know wetin I go dey make on daily.
I drive carefully to keep the car in good state so as to serve me enough and the owner too to see it was not a mistake given it to me.
Don't forget, I had no prior bolt driving experience when I collected it - and you know what it must have taken the person to drop such ride to a newbie.
So, I know why I am being careful with the ride, boss.
Make una no vex say I'm not making enough as I am supposed to, make I dey grow gradually till I get there, abeg.
Much respect, chief hoodlum.

Boss, I must admit that I commend your disposition and continued emphasis on ensuring the car is carefully used and well kept even though it's not yours to own.

YeyeGbami:
In summary

Tis well o

BAZ001:
The job you described above is better than driving HP
IF.... capital if ?
IF it’s a job with experience and growth not cleaner or shawama seller. Cause we like comparing driver to gala seller or cleaners.
Why because number of years of experience matters ?
I started a job after Nysc earning 37k , after 3yrs I moved to another job 220k and promoted to 550k. I’m still quoting my years of experience with referrals till today. I have professional certificate to back them.

So compare that to a young fresh Graduate that picked a car for HP , 3yrs + 2yrs moving Lagos upandan?

Let’s not forget I’m referring to snrman1, asking about HP
I will advise he picks a job of 50k and get job experience / growth than to drive HP for 3years.
Work 3years, do certifications/exams and jappa. Cause abroad will value your years of experience.

The only people that should be driving are people that
1. Just lost their job and needs to feed and clean up before next job or business.
2. Fresh graduate seriously applying for jobs but tired of seating at home
3. car owners who need extra source of income. Side hustle.

If you like keep adding to your fleets of cars every December with the rate of inflation , increase in car parts and shitty fare by bolt, Na same hand to mouth.

Make una no allow people crucify me for here ooh

Like you said...IF...
There are definitely conditions like you've highlighted where it might be wiser to take a job than take a higher purchase, so you're right, where the job is available.
Also, my contention was actually the word slavery....it connotes way more than the hard work required to own a car via HP, which I won't consider as slavery. While driving might not be the ideal work experience to earn a better pay at another jo, it could serve as a springboard for funds for other business...

Come to think of it, a lot of the successful businesses out there were started by people with little or no education....or professional experience.

Note; I support getting educated, and I also work in a professional setting and aspire to probably relocate someday, but there are times I envy people who have the flexibility of running a business or doing something for themselves.

too low

I have a question please, who here is using a manual car for e-hailiing.

I haven't driven a manual car in years and had to do that for the past two weeks. My legs suffered a lot.

So how do you cope especially with traffic?

BAZ001:
By the time your own the car both you and the car would have grown old (older at least 3yrs to your age and car ) then you start fixing spare parts and your body too.

I don’t know how veterans did it or ehailing is not just for me.
How can you drive upandan Lagos 3yrs+ and not grow grey hair

HP and rental na long thing... same trenches
https://www.reactiongifs.com/r/dsb1.gif

How about those in a full time job, who work 5 or more years, and can hardly afford their yearly rent, no savings, and too little income to be able to establish any side business or investment?

Driving definitely is hard work, but with proper planning, if a person does that for 2 years(during which they are still able to meet their daily needs-rent, feeding, clothing etc., from proceeds from this venture)and owns their own vehicle, that can easily become a source of income to them. Even if they don't want to drive again at that point, they could give it out for rental.

I wouldn't call it slavery
