You see in this life. Just do you. There's no point comparing e-hailing business to working in a bank or ioc.
Some people working in a bank gone up to be become bank managers earning almost a million a month while some gets sacked.

Someone doing e-hailing today might not be earning like bank managers even in the next 10 years. While another person doing e-hailing might go on to own multiple cars and earning x5 of what bank managers are earning. Some might even go on to branch into other business like owning a truck or something.

That's just the reality of life...

A friend of mine that's buying and giving out keke napep for hire copped a 15m property one time and pay it at a go. I was very shocked. I never imagine he could have that kind of money.
Later next year after that purchase, he bought another one for 7m. Omo na that time I know that guy get money and stopped estimating his networth in my head. And they are plenty of people like him making it big with keke hire purchase.
So that's the power of compounding in business, they always putting back their profit back into the business and before you know it you would have big capital that you can't even explain how you are able to raise that.

Whatever we are doing. May God bless our hustle.

Hope you know their so called networks won't sell to them at N410?... lol

By the way, CBN has no business selling dollars to BDC operators in the first place. Those guys were making a killing just by owing a BDC licence. All these at the expense of me and you.

Imagine getting 2m profit weekly doing nothing. That's blood money

XGhost:
You and Dapotemi basically spoke my mind... I'd just been too busy to type. Standing on the existing premises let me give guys that can think here some perspective and context.

A 9 to 5 = 8 hours at work. Because the person lives in on the farther parts of the mainland where MOST of the state's population live, he has to be at the bus stop by 6 (Many have to be earlier)
So conservatively he uses 3 hours to commute to and from work. that's 6 hours daily. Add time at work, that's 14hrs. Add 1 hour of waking up and getting ready for work= 15 hours.
If you live anywhere beyond Ikeja, we can easily add another 2 to 3 hours to this as many of them have to leave the house before 5 and get home like 9 10pm give or take.
And most of the people living in these parts, even Ajah and beyond make slightly more than 100k, if at all.

Now you the Uber man, like me, today I went online 5am. I don't have a commute, it's straight to work, 6pm I'm home which is where I'm typing this from. That's a cumulative of 13 hours. During these 13 hours, I wasn't driving for 13 hours straight, I did 15 trips. There were wait times i.e waiting for trips/waiting for rider to come out etc. Also there was 1 hour break for rest and recharge. All in all 13 hours sha.

Now if I continue like this and work 5 days only and conservatively, I'll net 50k a week =200k a month = 2.4m a year. My conservative projection was 250k a month 3M a year, but since I met cheerfulgiver, it became clear I could/should do better. Now that conservative projection is 350k a month, 4.2M a year, which is close to a manager's salary in a solid company. Compare this with the office guy making 150 a month 1.8M a year. This guy dresses well and all but he makes less per hour committed to work.
Crown all of this with the independence I enjoy, LORD, you have to be paying some really serious money to take that from me o. The people who you guys seem to envy don't have this, AND they don't make as much money AND all of us de dey Lagos traffic, but I get paid to sit in it.

SO why should I think I'm in an undesirable position?? Because people perceive me to be so? How anybody acts and carries on is a reflection of them NOT ME. If you enter my car and speak rudely is a reflection of you. It says much about you, how I respond says much about me. Don't get me wrong o, I've had to rip a few riders a new one but generally, ESPECIALLY NOW,I've come to realise that many of the things we perceive as insults or affronts, na just our fragile ego feeling bruised so I'm even calmer now, more patient, even maybe understanding sef because I can't imagine being an olosho and I go de happy...unless I really like sex. So when these girls act up sometimes, I feel more pity than anger. But I feel none of that for the boys o, I sabi vex for G-boys cos Yahoo no be work, na crime.

So why all the pessimism? The purpose of this thread is to share experiences on the job. Na only bad experience Una de get? How do people, newbies, other drivers learn if all that's shared here is negativity. It'll just be a cycle of ill vibes that will be carried over to the job because since na the only narrative then that's what's being advocated.
Unfortunately it's all a self esteem issue. You feel you're getting the short end of the stick. You'd rather work in an office and make 200k if you're lucky. E-hailing is just a last resort and na condition make your crayfish bend. "If no be as things be, will this small girl talk to me like this?" Have you seen where a girl in her twenties heads a unit in the office and her team members are much older and she will scold them like children? We all carry them na, and we hear them talk. Those English speaking chics with abroad master's degrees. Abi na only me de carry them ni? You think it's only in your car people are toxic? Lol

Yesterday I dropped a rider at Allen, (the one I refunded to), while I was still at the parked there I called bae, she said she de around Allen, na so work finish for the day, it was past 2. Earnings was 14k after commission. We went to spur at ICM to eat, hung out for a bit, I dropped her off, 7pm I don de house, past 9 I slept to wake up 4.20. I try to make sure I get at least 6 hours of sleep, preferably 7, but I'm not really a sleep person unless I'm completely knackered. At the end of the day, 5k still gum me reach house o. Basically I own me, well, madam owns me but... You sha get the picture. Could I have continued working? YES. Today, I've covered up for yesterday so account still de on track.
I don't work plenty hours like you guys like to insinuate, I don't have a bucket in my boot and I obviously don't sleep inside car. Sometimes, like today, you have a hot hand so you just keep playing until the house tells you it's enough.
I try to appear nice, speak with good diction, dress well, wear H&C shirts, Lugs sneakers and I braid my hair.

Now tell me why should I feel inferior to anybody or suffer a crises of self esteem WHY

Guys, chill. You can make money if you want, do anything, light oven, sleep, whatever... Whatever you will attract similar, it's that simple.
However let's lift one another, that's the best way to rise. That is the purpose of this thread.

Today's 2k.

Boss how much is profit from this amount?

If your Parent/Guardian can sponsor you, please go to Canada for your Masters degree. You will never regret that decision. If you research well, you can also get scholarship that will reduce the financial burden.
You can decide to apply for Canada Express Entry after your education.

If you are under 25years, Another option is to start your Masters immediately in Nigeria and also get work experience while you are running your program. It does not matter if the pay is small. Apply for Canada Express Entry as soon as you have your Masters degree

How about someone that's 28 with no msc?

Amotolongbo:
This is more like a state police the state governors have been clamoring for.

Decentralize the police and let the state governors take charge of the security in their states. Let us know which state government is functioning and which one is lacking in function.

The FG police have been compromised into receiving bribes and sewing and waybilling cloths and caps.

If state police is approved, no governor would lose election again

Crayfish09:
When I say Hadith, I'm referring to Sahih hadiths and yes, to even compare "Sahih" Hadiths with the Qur'an is an abomination because we are still talking about words ATRIBUTED to those who claimed to have heard the Sahaba saying something about what the prophet said.


I also clearly said that I do not reject the Hadiths but those that contradict/undermine the Qur'an.

Let's analyze this explanation of yours now.

In the first 2 verses, Allah says that the cost outweighs the benefit and that we should refrain from doing it before Salat. We can say the same about other sins of the world. For example, stealing has the benefit of worldly gains but it's bad. HOWEVER, THE VERSE DOES NOT IN ANY WAY TELL US TO DRINK unlike in the case of the Hadiths where one says IT'S FINE to do something and another says it's not.


I have many other ridiculous ones too. I know those that claimed pandemics can never enter Makkah and Madina but thanks to Corona, they have been proven to be false. There are also those that said the sun prostrate before Allah even though the Qur'an said a different thing. I know those that depicted Moses (AS) as the superior of prophet Muhammad and even suggested that he knows better than Allah (when the so-called 50 daily prayers were reduced to 5)

These so-called Sahih Hadiths are no Sahihs. I wasn't so sure as at when I created this thread but now, I'm fully convinced.

Let me add another ones.
There’s one that said charm worked on prophet on s.a.w.

There’s another one that also says cross-dresser used to enter prophet house and gist with his wife.

AntiChristian:
Qu'ran is infallible! Are the people who preserved the Qu'ran not the same who preserved the ahadith?

And the followers of the Prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam practised what they received from the Prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam to best of their ability.

So no need claiming Hadith is the collection about his followers.

Quran preservation is quite differently from Hadith preservation.
Do you know anyone that has memorized sahihul Bukhari by heart?

Only Quran is infallible. I wish you understand Hausa so I could attach a ruling of late gummi where he said not all Hadith in sahihul bukhari are authentic.

The summary of what he says is that Allah only promise to protect Quran from contamination so numerous Hadith books can be contaminated.

He gave an example of the Hadith that says some unbelievers used charm on prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) which caused him sickness.

The sheikh says it is even a grave sin to believe charm could work on the noble prophet. And this Hadith is found right there in Imamul bukhari.
Allahu a’alam

Dannyhonda:
Bro I can categorically tell u that it can't, Norway was 5m but with the dollar rate, u need 10 million not for spending but to have in your account. Mind u I am talking about study route o. Before going to any country, look at your field of study if it's recognised there. U can't just enter any type of country. Do u think getting papers is a short term thing lol? Unless you have a family member that is bringing u over that's all apart from that OYO. It might be easy with other countries o but for Canada, Australia and the likes, not so easy. Spending millions for a job that at the long run, u would get it back. At least someone worked in cbn for a while then moved to Canada and he is presently working in central bank over there. It wasn't easy for him but baba was fully prepared.

Who moved from cbn to Canada? Una should stop these lies abeg

Bro I know of 3 brothers that bought NNRC last year 1 got level 12 and the other level 9 with masters and the last on that graduated just few weeks got level 8.... When buying sha be smart about it...

Is it in the same level with pef? Never heard of that. I'm not saying it is not possible. All I'm saying is one should know who his connect is.

intergral:
Oga there is no Solid investment right now if you have like 4-6mil within your possession like buying all these big jobs...
Some of these jobs you get between 7-8 million every year... Now let's do the math;
Let's say you rent a place for 1 million and you save 100k every month for your rent which is 1.2 million and you use 150k (at least for somebody that spends 150k every month is a bit comfortable) for feeding, transportation and other stuffs which is 1.8 mil... Add them up you'll use 3 million every year... Subtract that from your annual salary and you will be left with 4 million+ that you can use to buy a decent car, Buy a land and start building your own house... Remember even if you spend that 4mil+ another one is coming the following year and the year after...
Now tell me what kindda 5-10 million naira business can get you that?... As for the uber you mentioned He made a rough calculation that he can earn 500k every month which will take him roughly 2.5 years to get his 10million back... Remember the cars are at the risk of getting spoilt, thieves, accident and others....
IF all of you like spend the whole day telling me that starting a business is better and I will just assume that you are looking at me like a monkey while I am looking at you like a Banana...
Because we want to buy job doesn't mean we are dumb or graduated with bad grades or we picked the money from the gutter, most of us are into that so called business or the other and still feel getting a high paying job is better....
Disclaimer: As for that guy asking for 9-10 million for that Job is too much

No one is doubting all these things you are saying. Actually I don't mind paying 10m for all these big agencies if the connect is sure.

All we are saying it is better to start a business than to to try to buy a slot if all what you have is 5-10 million considering that it is too risky buying all these big agencies and one might likely get scammed while at it.

Starting a business is more safer than a buying a job. You can use the proceed later to buy the job. Even if the business fails. You can atleast jump out at 50% lost with an experience.

All the people I know that got into pef last year are the kids of all these big men and the players in the oil industry. You hardly see anyone that gets in by buying slots.

Even the big men know such type of jobs are the easiest way to secure the future of their kids.

During the last pef recruitment, an uncle of mine secured the job for one of his children.

The appointment didn't become available until 11 pm in the night and was handed over to that uncle of mine in Abuja. You need not to be told that there's power tussle in obtaining the slots. This is despite the fact that the man is also a player in the oil sector and know the pef boss on personal basis.

Unless you know and have someone that can talk to bossess of these agencies on personal level. I won't advise anyone to handover money to any local man on the street.

These agencies are for big boys. You need to know one of the big boys to get in.

Tintedglass:
he does not even know when NCDMB will start APL he is not giving any tangible info. Just arrogantly talking about how he will go about collecting the money in Dollars. Even wanting the payment on a Sunday is very dodgy.. please I hope no one is desperate enough to fall for this.

10m is a lot of money. I believe no one would try playing with that unless apl is sighted and is genuine.

Dannyhonda:
Bro u capping big time, maybe it's Norway u planning to go and that one na studying u wan do. Mind u, traveling outside the country doesn't guarantee u gonna be rich infact been an immigrant is so difficult. Most people won't tell u until u get there and won't be able to cope. Concerning the second option which is Uber that u made mention, if it's so profitable, everyone would be in such. It's very easy to calculate but when other expenses comes in, what happens? See ehn, Nigeria is the best place to enjoy your money just that other factors comes in mind.
Everyone prefers govt job just for one thing, job security, nothing special. Most people outside Nigeria won't tell u the truth, move at your own pace, no be everybody destiny dey outside country. But if u plan on leaving the country, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Australia, New Zealand or Germany etc is the best place to go, I come in peace.

Omo that uber na sure business especially if you start driving yourself and get the experience. Go to uber thread here and see testimonies. Many of them are doing good. The only downside be say no respect and dignity.

AstralBody:
10 million won't be enough to migrate to Canada. Please explain why u think it can,those that have traveled there has spent double that amount

10m is more than enough for you to travel to Canada. The pof needed is 12000cad, which is 4m or so.


However, there are some jobs that you would have in this naija that even those living in USA or Canada won't enjoy that quality of life
