Sweden is not on lockdown and has never been on lockdown and heaven did not fall.. So what is all these noise that bodies will be flying around. The bodies that herds men and Boko don kill wetin happen?...

[color=royalblue] You are comparing Nigeria to Sweden?

Sweden's economy is far better than ours. Their leaders are not as clueless as most of ours. Sweden had a better healthcare than Nigeria. They probably have equipped hospitals and better response to emergencies. They probably have conducted more tests than Nigeria, and are not corrupt. Above all, if they call for a lockdown, their citizens will most probably not flout the order

This is the country you are comparing with Nigeria?[/color]

VaselineCrew:
but why kill the economy for a lockdown that is not being enforced?

aren't you reading the news of people out and about in various streets?

Just case the highways look empty, it doesn't mean people aren't outside. I was shocked when I came out one evening and saw an insane amount of people outside in my area jogging, strolling, gisting outside.

Even when receiving palliatives, the masses form crowds. Did you see the recent crowd of people in Lekki waiting for food?

Even thieves are still crowding, did you see the video in Kano of crowds stealing rice from food delivery trucks?


So on one hand you kill our economy, on the other hand, you implement a lockdown that is a sham. It's a lose lose situation.

[color=royalblue]Like I said, Nigerians flouted and are still flouting it

If the Government removes the lockdown, nothing spoil

But if(God forbid) bodies begin to litter everywhere, obviously a lockdown will be slammed on us. And by then, nobody will care about the death of the economy[/color]

[color=royalblue]For me, I still support the LOCKDOWN for the next one month

Let us sacrifice this little time and see the curve flatten to a reasonable extent.

Nigerians sef are not helping. Stay at home, everyone is screaming hunger (which is true). But isn't it better to feel hunger, than see your loved ones die because of something without cure?

Face masks can be enforced, but it's difficult for Social distancing to be. From markets, to banks, to busstops, to churches, to everywhere....Only walking along Idumota or Obalende sef na wahala

If this lockdown is lifted, na God hand we dey. NCDC are already overburdened despite thelockdown. Imagine when it's lifted

This is a very big risk to be taken on Monday. God will see us through[/color]

This is a low life attitude and an act of desperation. Posting a picture of your life over an argument. Probably a stolen picture? Why can't you post a copy of your certificate to back up this claim?

Na only you be Mechanic, Chef, Epidemiologist, MBA holder, Oil Merchant, spare parts dealer, car dealer, etc, etc, only you

But you know what? No one really cares who you are. Don't come here and be saying stuffs that are untrue, things that common sense may never relate with.

Take it that you goofed in your miserable attempt to liken American weather to that of Nigeria. Bye.

[color=royalblue]So sorry to ask, but have you been to Texas?

I can understand the fact that the every information is verifiable through the net, but if someone tells you their first hand experience over something, I don't see why it should be dragged

She has been to both places. Unles you've been there, I don't see the need for the argument, even if you don't believe

Honestly I get where everyone is coming from that wants it lifted. If not for the fact that you could pass it to someone who decides to lockdown I would say to each his own. Unfortunately, like vaccines, it only works if everyone does it.

To those saying it's increasing even with lockdown, you've told us exactly why. Ogba and co are not doing it so yes, it will continue to increase. Also, it's not necessarily increasing, it's also that they tested more so they are discovering already existing cases. The more you test, the more you'll find.

[color=royalblue] Exactly.

I'll have to agree with Eizenburg again. A whole lot of Lagosians do not know the reason for the lockdown. Someone said in Ogba, people are going out, so therefore the lockdown is not working

God go protect us all. I pray humidity, and all other dities will work in our favour. Because when this shiit gets out of hand?

God forbid sha[/color]

Felicity0001:
Exactly my point, everyone should go with their facemask and hand sanitizer.

There're several and better ways tI attack this human made virus.

So why do we have to shutdown the world because of a simple virus that people have shown significant means of surviving it. Those still thinking a total lockdown is the only way out are as dumb as D. Trump because they can't think aside the box.

Excel70:
Hi you mentioned you must have more than one car to be successful in uber business. Can you explain why and the reason one car is not profitable

[color=royalblue]
Firstly I'll make some assumptions

1) That we have a perfect (ideal) condition: A good driver, constant flow of weekly rentals
2)That the car does not develop any fault
3)They are going into this business for a long term and full time.
4)This plan will be for a four year period (I mean, it's possible to use a car for four years on ehailing na )

Let us use the following parameters too
Corolla: 1.7 million
Monthly rental at 30k: 100k(20k for servicing and other small small issues)

CASE 1

He has only one corolla he bought with 1,700,000

First Six months: 600k
Second six months:1.2 million
Third six months: 1.8 million

Hurray! He can decide to buy another Corolla, or flex his capital

CASE 2
He starts with three Corollas which costs #5,100,000

First six months: I.8 million (Let's say he buys another one)

Second six months: 2.4 million (Let's say he buys another one, and keeps his 500k changes)

Third six months: 3 million (plus 500k)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't mind my fantasies sha

But my point is, the more the cars, the more you are likely to yield, and grow. And also, it provides the space for covering up losses in downtimes

If you have one car, and there's a major issue, you're most likely to reach into another source to cover up. But with more than one car, the FOLD can take care of themselves if one bird is down

Don't mind the rubbish I wrote up there oh. I just wanted to make the explanation more .......I don't know

Bigleaf1006:
You keep going round in circles,typical Nigerian!! I have opined that the lockdown is counter productive.

You might be staying in Lekki or Banana island where you can get ample serenity, as for me I stay on the mainland, downtown Ogba to be precise and my streets are as crowded as can be making the lockdown seem pointless.

You advised staying at home,then lockdown isn't working for you. In all your post so far you haven't stood anywhere but in the air.

I am staying safe sir and I pray we go all dey all right las las.

Sunki12345:
lol. Thanks.. I really appreciate that. I really can't drive from 5am - 1pm, as i will leave my I.T class around 11:30am . but i can start drivig from 12pm - 8pm in the eve.

[color=royalblue]Okay. Let me continue the story

Once it's 12pm, I go find a place to sleep. The reason is because that is not a peak period on this job. People are at work, Oloshos are resting for night duty, students are still in classes......So it's only grace that you'll see sweet trips then

But from 3pm upwards(Depending on your location), you're likely to see good trips.

So if you can be working from 12pm, to 8pm, then it's absolutely fine. As long as it's a side hustle[/color]

Bigleaf1006:
There isn't any lesser evil here except you want to keep living in denial. You are between the devil and the deep blue sea.

If LOCKDOWN with no end in sight works for u fine!! But I really think we need another approach to fighting this

[color=royalblue] Nowhere did I say I was enjoying the lockdown, or it works for me.

Our healthcare system will not be able to handle the cases if the number keeps increasing. As much as you want to make money and keep your family, it's also wise to be safe.

If your government is not concerned about you, won't you be concerned about yourself?

Stay safe sir
Stay safe [/color]

Sunki12345:
not like that! i also have other things that am doing... I am also a programmer (still learning though), and that why i want a kind of job that i will do after coding hours just to be sustaining until i finish my program.

I was working full-time before i resigned because of the I.T program that am doing, as i believe that i wont be able to run my full time job with my prefared career. i just want to be doing the uber job as a side hustle.

[color=royalblue] Driving on Uber is a job that will require your strength and time. Because of the city we live in, and the rates charged, you'll need to spend more time behind the wheels to meet your target

And I know you'll be thinking; But I said 6 to 7 hours na

Yes, I read that. But getting trips and making profits are relative here. Let me share a short story with you

When I was driving, I start my day by 4:30am to 5am. I try to gross 5k before 9am and then gross another 5k by 1pm. Of which 65% of the time, i do realize that
Now, that 6 to 7 hours already.

Now, after making 10,000 in 6 hours

Bolt's commission is 20% of that(It was 15% then) = 2000

Fuelling (A corolla should yield 4 times of the fuel cost)= 2500.

Let's assume there was nothing to spend on throughout that 7 hours.

Now, your net profit is 5500.

So sir, would you drive from 5am to 1pm and be satisfied with 5,500?

Bigleaf1006:
Oga!! What is your position on this matter, stop dilly dallying. End lockdown or continue lockdown, which one you day, stand for something.

As for me, I ended my lockdown since last week Monday.I don't believe the lockdown is working,that's me and that's my view, what's yours?

You are not serious o

Sunki12345:
xDD.. lol I just have to know if its best for me. because a guy once told me that the rate of the percentage uber do cut every week makes the business not profitable... I just want to know so I won't have to waste my money on a non-profitable biz

[color=royalblue]You keep talking about profits and profits

Sincerely, my friend, you'll be disappointed. Not because there is no profit, but because your expectations sounds so high(or has this touch of impatience and urgency)

My advise? Invest in something else[/color]

Hello Guys! my name is Fuhad, I guess being in the right thread... I want to start a Uber business, thinking of buying a Toyota Corolla 2005 or 2006 model and start driving as a Uber driver immediately after this trying time is gone.

I have been hearing a lot about uber business but not from the people that are doing it. I really want facts and that's why I decided to join this thread.

I am looking for a car to buy already and the cheapest tokunbo Toyota corolla 2005 car that have seen so far is #1.5m. I just want to know if this business really pays, how much can I be realizing every month [/b]after Uber [b]commissions , and fuel. and I also heard that uber gives their drivers a maximum time to work in every 24hours. I am looking forward to be doing this for around 6 - 7 hours every day.

please I need you all to comment on this. I am a novice that just want to know how it works before I jump into it. I had jumped into a business once which I regretted, don't want such to repeat itself again.

thank you all.

[color=royalblue] You are already thinking of the money you will realize every month

That, my friend, is not a good way to plan [/color]

[color=royalblue] That's a whole lot of receipts[/color]
