You will be very hypocritical to say Obi should go out gun blazing against ipob. He has made the first move, I hope others line up behind him and start finding their voices against this sit at home. [color=royalblue]Of course. He needs to win election naa, so he should be very economic with the truth, just as Soludo is. Whether you like it or not, that Movement has to be cancelled entirely, for peace to be restored. We cannot separate those who peacefully want Biafra, from those who violently want it. Nnamdi Kanu is IPOB. Ekpa is still the same IPOB; so, yes, IPOB needs all the gun blazing it should have. The only voice we need now is one that can proscribe IPOB first. The baby and bath water needs to be thrown away now. [/color] |

Pearl1910: I don't agree that drivers aren't respected. Like I said before, respect isn't giving because of the job u do. Yes people with low morals or who lack basic home training may disrespect others if they perceive they are better off. I don't disrespect my security or even the aboki that sells condemn. So this idea of making it a norm that drivers should not be respected simply because they are drivers is wrong, and that's genesis the problem with society. Everyone should be respected first as a human being then by virtue of age, influence, position etc. I will not respect you more if u were a banker or worked in an oil company or for a govt agency. So if I come to ur shop, I respect you and u respect me. I can refuse to offer someone a service if I feel I am not respected, it's my own priogative. I can also stop patronizing someone if I feel d person doesn't respect me. As for friends and neighbors, it's ur business if u want to tell them what u do, nobody is under any obligation. I think society builds pressures on us that we are all trying to keep up with. But for me, I don't profile people, I don't rate anyone, I no send anybody, I give everyone the respect they deserve. And that's the way it should be. [color=royalblue]Unfortunately, it is not the way it is, and that was why i saved my strength of explaining what the society should look like. Drivers, cleaners, etc have a certain respect they can command. It is what it is, and i totally agree with the man that says so. Even pope agrees that there are certain places your Uber driving profession would embarass you. So, i understand how polite and humble you are. Sadly, you are just 1 out of hundreds of millions[/color] |

If we all start putting it out here it will add to the already boring posts. We are get dirty doing things because we have no options does not mean we should be proud of it. I am not complaining about the hustle as I careless about anyone respect. I don’t know how much I have to hammer this respect is earn. It has nothing to do with qualifications. As your appearance will be the first thing to take note off. Barbit points are valid and I still stand firm on it. He is only speaking from his own angle and where you stand might be different from his. It is still not your call to tell him to walk away, I didn’t think anyone asked you to when you did. Lot of people over there do a lot of sh*t to get by. From washing bodies to plate, you don’t expect them to come home and start telling you all these. You don’t expect them to be proud of it or ask them to walk away as if you will foot their bills. [color=royalblue]The bolded is funny  [/color] |

And you are proud of it Abi. Ohk [color=royalblue]You are misunderstanding me, sir.  Every hustle has the level of respect it can command or get. If I am not proud of the hustle i am doing, because of the respect it gives, I'll walk away. A cleaner will always get the respect of a cleaner A conductor will always get the respect of a conductor A security man will always get the respect of a security man. Someone cleaning shiit of old people will always get the respect of shiit cleaner. I entered a public bus today, and i didn't not greet the conductor or driver. He delayed my 200 naira change, and i asked him to give me without adding "please" or "sir". Now, assume i did this to an uber driver here, he will come and lament on how Nigerians don't respect Drivers. People who are complaining about respect are actually bigger than the hustle. The solution is to leave. [/color] |

pope191: I think you are hitting off point. It is not today I’ve been saying if the hustle doesn’t work for you drop you keys. Just as I also say situation determines a lot out here. Im broke I need 20k. Men you have to get the ignition to get the 20.
I am honestly less concern with what you do or what you want to be with due respect. They are honestly not my business.
We all got our trials and goes on our wars. Your perception is yours, but each man knows what they are up against. So it’s up to them to decide what’s most important. I don’t make calls for people, so I see no reason why someone should make one for me. I could careless about a graduate or not, to me it is what you were able to make with it that matters. Certificate on paper is never a true test of anyone. And no matter what, where you are coming from will always have an impact on how you reason and view things. ED in a bank or a palm wine tipper from a rural settings may found themselves in same zone. One feel blessed and the other feels backward. Yea! We acknowledge, but it’s in no one’s place to tell them get the F off if they don’t feel complete within. We didn’t set out with same hopes from cradle.
Note: I don’t think anyone is demanding for illusionary respect. We are just blowing things out of proportion. Riders and drivers are both strangers trying to help each other. You don’t know me and I don’t know you, so let’s keep it mutual. You act right will stay right. Distort my peace, I load double of it. Damn respect, I’m cool with peace of mind. [color=royalblue]I am not hitting any thing off point. This is the comment i decided to start commenting from. Please take note of the bolded. I did not want to quote him because he has ended his submission[/color] You're actually not getting my point and you're not realistic! I guess you just want accolades here!
I am not looking down on myself. As a matter of fact, I am a graduate with professional certifications and vast experience in my field.
In as much as there is dignity in every labour, there are still some hustle you can't boldly say openly at a certain gathering or function. There are still some hustle you can't be proud to say at a particular function and one of them is a driver!
If you lie to yourself about the stigmatisation of this hustle, then jokes on you!
This is Nigeria. We look down so much on some hustle. It is not like that abroad. People respect uber drivers abroad. Nigerians treat drivers like piece of sh1t. I once sat with a friend who brought his lecturer friend along. She's a female lecturer at unilag. We talked for long. She introduced herself and when she asked what I do, I told her I'm an uber driver......she went; oops...sorry, I shouldn't have asked! I said why? She said; never mind! Then I went as far as telling her my degree, prof qualification, experience and the MNC's I had worked with. I am explaining this because there are calibres of people you would sit with, you won't be able to say you're doing uber cos they will look down on you. It might even spoil things or deter opportunities you might get. I'd rather tell you my field(not uber) and then crown it with; "I'm inbetween jobs at the moment" [color=royalblue]1) If you cannot say you are an Uber driver in a circle, it means you need to leave the hustle. A driver is a job and legitimate profession. If you are ashamed to say it, because you know you are better than it, walk away 2) Drivers will always be below the job hierarchy in any country. Is it every Nigerian that insults or looks down on drivers? Which respect do they give Uber drivers abroad rather than "Hello, Hi, Thank you, Have a nice day"?. Which kind respect person dey find, wey e wan prefer driving for abroad than Nigeria? If he said money, I would agree...But respect....? Funny 3) People will look down on drivers because he is a driver. Even the person that typed this will look down on a Danfo driver. A driver is a driver. You cannot have PHd and be a driver, then expect to be highly respected, or respected differently. You are a driver. So, if driving does not give you the recognition or respect you think you deserve, just walk away, or go abroad where they adore drivers. I have not said anything off point. That's the quote i decided to respond from[/color] |

pope191: Sure I understand accepting reality as well as I understand what we do or where do we go from here. If you take a look at all these peeps at PWC or Kpmg they barely last 5 years on the job. Simple because they know the values of acquiring more knowledge. One of the worst thing that can happen to a man in his prime is to say I have gotten to my place of comfort. Policies like what we are seeing can shift one off balance. What do one have to do then to keep staying afloat. Keep reevaluating your tots. You were once a driver and I want to believe you have your reasons for switching on the hustle.
My point : is this what I really want to be doing with my life? Imagine locking Elumelu tie nah. They may be locking it sha, I no deh em office.
Edit later [color=royalblue]I stopped driving and switched to selling spare parts for trailers (Oh yes, i am a graduate). This year, i started a procurement firm and the person mentoring me is my classmate from school that is doing much better than me. I hope to establish 3 more streams of income, and by 50, I should be hustling much more less. I have ruled out Japa for me. So, when people advise people to Japa, I just listen nowadays. Na me know wetin I want I do not think anybody has advised anyone not to acquire knowledge. Uber circle will always remain the same. Because you were a Bank ED in the past doesn't change it. The criterion to be an Uber driver is to know how to drive. It is us that brought BSC, LLM, PHd into it. If anyone feels he isnt achieving his goal or his recognition, walk away, rather than expecting a change from something that cannot. If you don't go to reunions because of what you do, you can stay at home..but if you want to be confident enough to talk, the hustle must be changed. Sadly, everybody talking about how the hustle isn't befitting for their status, is still driving. Quite ironic.[/color] |

pope191: I can honestly relate with Bit on his point and it happens in every works of life and not just as uber. Take a look at social media and WhatsApp status. Almost everyone fake images to friends they put on their status. Hate this nd throw the I don’t care into the air. Every man longs to be loved and seen from the view of an important person. I am not ashamed to be called an Uber driver, but damn surely not proud of it. How about being the dude at the back of maybeach and giving thanks for how far we’ve come. A house on the island can go as far as 80 million I guess, paying school fees for 3 kids in a term can be around 2 million in a good school. Which day man won drive hit these dreams. Abi make I accept reality, this is my destiny and I can never be the one that will experience this good life?
Please let’s be factual to ourselves. It will take more than miracle for a conductor to marry a lawyer. Not saying it is not possible or trying to narrow the talks down to platonic relationships. Just giving tips on the essence of value. Bit words are clear enough. There are some table you will and won’t be able to say your major source of income. Square peg and round holes just don’t fit. Simple [color=royalblue]No offence, my eldest brother, but this comment is full of ego and pride. Like i said, again, no vex. If you sit at any table and you can't boldly talk about your source of income, kindly walk away from it. Your circle is not there. In life, we change circles. Circles would never change because of you, and I think that's some people here are missing it. You were a manager, engineer, etc, and today you are driving Uber, so therefore, you expect that prestige and respect in the past to be there. Sadly, it doesn't work that way. Even Jesus that left heaven for earth, recognised that his circle has changed, and he wasn't expecting the same submission from men as he had from above. Anybody that wants to pay 2 million a month school fees or buy 80 million apartment in Lekki should not be here, and that's the truth. This hustle cannot give you that money, and at the same time, cannot provide the circle that has such. [/color] |
