I don't want to go into much discussion, depression wan wound me lol.

But I have a spare N400k, I want to know what I can do with it in Nigeria that could be profitable.

Mynd44 fergie001 nlfpmod, pls it's very important

codemaniacs:
you served in Abia and picked up Uniport form if you are not i:gbo that's a big lie..

most people from Akwa ibom or cross river will attend Unical or Uniuyo not Uniport... people attend schools were they understand the language of the indigenes unless they grew up in that place..

ok👍

codemaniacs:
Lithiumite is right..

if the OP was Y:oruba you guys would have mocked and abused him and abused Yoruba politicians..

but an i:gbo graduate doing okada is not shameful to you guys and not one of you guys have abused or called out any of your politicians...

you guys are hypocrit:es..

I am not Igbo.
I said I served in Abia state, that doesn't make me igbo

otunbaorisa and Feelingathome I don't think I can reply through email u sent me, maybe I don't have access to the email I used.
If u have anything to ask, pls type it here. Thanks

yungpowers:

RealityKings:

It's that bad. 😔

Ona fit quote am for another thread and ask for help. But please don't derail this thread, u should take down ur account details and beg him in another thread, pls

Hmm

Mathewrichard99:
I like your mentality. The facts that you know and agreed that it's not befitting of a graduate that spent a whole 4 to 6 yrs at the university with strike etc ..to graduate and be an okada man.

Your parents and family wouldn't be all that happy ofcourse even though they might just try and encourage you.

I also like your Dad, he didn't bother so much about what you are doing but went ahead to be encouraging you and even got a Masters admission form for you. That man is a great man.

You are hardworking, you are doggedly focus to survive at all cost doing legitimate job. You are very strong and unashamed of doing a legitimate job even though it's belittling your personality.

My advise, keep on doing this. You have acquired 2 bikes now, soon you will acquire 3, 4, 5 and 6 etc.....

Please, think about adding value to the job by raising the standard a little. You can do this by doing something like Gokada kind of system.

Discuss with IT experts, programmers on how you can make an App for okada riders. This would be well discussed while you are doing your studies at Uniport.

This would enable other Okada drivers to download your app as drivers while your potential passengers too download the riders app just like it's done in Uber and Bolts and also Gokada.

After this is done, you might not even have the interest of buying more Okada again cos those other drivers will be the one using their own Okada to be doing the job while yours is just to be maintaining your App and also be making money on each ride......don't charge too much o....let your percentage be fair enough so that many okada drivers will key into it.

Don't be discouraged, it's doable and not difficult. Talking from experienced.

Lastly, I wish you success in this your business exploit.

I didn't acquire two bikes, I will use the money for the second bike to assist in my education. My dad won't do everything.

eyenogoquiet:
How much is the PGD there and how long is it??

It's a year programe. Currently I have spent 46k to get and process the form

Homeboiy:
If them go de pay you to stay at home

Let them do it

What is it about being a graduate?

I think somehow no be everybody like the idea of a university graduate becoming Okada man, e no sound nice sha. I knew lots of people that discouraged me from my previous thread.

I can't upload pics of the ticket and how my union ID card looks like cos it might give too much information and I wan remain anonymous for now.

I am now giving out the bike on hire purchase cos I need to focus on schooling.

Fast forward to 2 weeks ago, I was able to save some money and decided to get a another second hand motorcycle which I'll give out for hire purchase while still driving my first bike.
But my Dad suggested I should pick up a masters programme form, at first going back to school was not part of my plans, at least not now. But he agreed to assist me in the schooling, so I went to uniport and picked a form in accounting, cos I needed the analytical and management knowledge, even though I have ruled out the possibilities of getting a job, the accounting skill will help me manage my own business and companies in the future, so I had to pick the form, since I didn't study accounting in my first degree, I had to pick PGD form and will continue my business while still acquiring knowledge, I might not create another thread for now until I finish my schooling and probably have a solid business that thrives on a system.
I know it won't be easy but it's not impossible

I touched down my village on one faithful day, at least sometimes I will eat mommy thank you and won't be worried about house rent.

The next day I carried my bike out, I already know the roads so it wasn't a problem.

2days after, tax force stopped me, I didn't have their vest, I didn't buy local govt sticker and I didn't buy ticket, with abeg and so much explanation on how I started this bike new and this is my second day, they took 2k from me, and that was even because thy knew me.
I quickly got their vest and registered it, thankfully the union chairman is a friend to my father, he guide me through the process and I got everything for 16k.
Speaking of dad, my father was embarrassed that I am driving motorcycle, my elder brother told me I am disgracing the family lolz, my younger brother threatened to burn down the motorcycle cos he is ashamed of his graduate brother driving motorcycle. Na wa o, I for just stay for Abia state, than coming to my state and get threatened by my own family. . All those mother's that use me as a good example to their children and those people that respected me sef just weak for me, I wonder how they will explain to their children now lol.
My mom and my elder sister were the only ones that encouraged me, and I had to encourage myself too and had always convinced myself this is not what I will do, it's just the begining of the journey.

Below is the picture of my vest.

This thread is created to just encourage youths, if you are going through a lot, u are not a lot, we plenty for the country.
Earlier this year I created a topic on the motorcycle I bought with my NYSC savings, so I won't be stranded after NYSC. The journey has not been easy, showing up everyday consistently with the urge to give up yet too determined to succeed.
Unpleasant words from friends and family that are too embarrassed with me driving motorcycle, constant bully and extortion from tax force and agbero has been my major problem.
Nigeria is not for the weak.

I learned how to drive the motorcycle, at first it wasn't easy at all, but man no get option, if I had super powers, I would just learn it in a day.
Anyways I still entered road after learning the basics and balancing the bike, this was the beginning of reality, some days I won't make much money and the bike will have issues due to bad roads in Abia state(the state I served), it was so bad that sometimes heavy vehicles will fall and cover the road, I will end up fixing my bike from the little I saved. I wasn't saving much, I had to travel back to my village and decide to drive there since we have better roads... Typing

GboyegaD:
Just curious, how is the business going now? Hope you are making other plans while starting with this.

That reminds me, let me create a thread on how it's going so far and call mods

dkidd:
High blood pressure make U quit work how. Lol this ur lamba no follow at all

u no ask which job him deh do.
Maybe the job involves his boss slapping his chest daily.

Hmmm,
It's just life, sometimes life just become hard for no reason, (speaking from experience)
Just try getting up after every fall.

I don't know how motivate u sha, I am not up there either to convince someone. Hehe

Dshocker:
Of all the trade, why bike, considering the fact that you are a graduate?

lets say my mindset is shaped by the books i read lol, i read books like atomic habits and millionaires next door

Honestly, I dont see anything wrong with motorcycle as long as it will give me a head start to the life i always fancy.
Smart people say "journey of a thousand miles starts with a step", and me i am starting my own with a motorcycle already. Thats a big win

I think your problem is misinformation.

Read books like
"rich dad poor dad"
Cashflow quadrant
Millionaires next door
Think and grow rich
Atomic habits etc.

These books will help redirect ur life, it will tell you how rich people are made, ur mindset will never make you rich, it will only put u in the middle class at best

YourMrBoo:
Reno would have been nothing without obi

Tell me what wrong could that be.

Reno has been roasting Buhari even before Obi got this fame.

MatrixReloaded:
Places, likely roasting under the flame of tyres prior to snapshot pictures are listed below :
Cross River
Benue
Ogoja
Ugep
Onitsha
Lagos surulere
Festac
Bayelsa
Ondo
Osun

they hardly roast people in Bayelsa, what they mostly do is to banish the people

kalu61:
How do a get the seller's contact. I want to empower someone.

I would have loved to give it to you but I love to remain anonymous for now for some reasons and will avoid anything that will make me become known.

I am very sorry sir

Grupo:
This is not criticism. Just laying bare the facts.

Well. I see your mind is made up. Congrats.

But lastly, are you kind enough to share with me how you intend to make 1m monthly in three years time starting with an Okada today?

It's okay if you don't want to speak further on this.

I don't intend to spend my profit but invest every bit from it, and I also intend to survive on 50k monthly.

Grupo:
I don't need to follow you. I know what I am saying. But you are still blinded by youthful exuberance and unfounded optimism.

Bike riding will not give you a decent life. Depending on what you consider a decent life.

In that three years, you won't make enough money to afford a Toyota corolla. I can bet anything on this.

The highest you can do is to buy another bike and give to a rider who will tell you stories every day.

Yoi write fairly well. Which means you have above average intelligence.

Don't give up without a fight. If you are below 26, get a cv and start applying for graduate trainee jobs. You won't regret it.

I can assure you that if your goal is to make a decent monthly income of around 1m monthly, then Okada riding will never do it for you. Trust me.

Or if you doubt me, do the unit economics and give me a break down.

Shelve this your optimism and go do something better with your life.

thanks for the criticisms.
But I already mapped out how to make that 1m monthly, it's a matter of time

Grupo:
Is this the best you can do with your life? Driving bike after spending years in school?

Why did you bother going to school then? You should have just gone straight to bike riding.

Guy, get serious with your life.

If you graduated with at least, a 2:2, get your cv ready and start applying for jobs.

There are jobs in this country. In fact, many youth don't want to work again. They now prefer yahoo and other things.

So there are jobs for focused people who want to work.

There are graduate trainee programs that are announced every other day.

Different banks announce graduate trainee programs every other day. Get into one. And the pay is way above average.

Settling for bike riding is settling for less. It means you have already given up on yourself even without trying.

That's mediocrity.

Get in the box with your mates and dig it out.

For how long are you going to drive bike to buy a basic Toyota corolla (around 7m) and build a decent 4 bedroom bungalow?

Guy get serious with your life abeg.

Just follow me, ill show u where I am in the next 3years.

Ganjafama:
Some gullible folks would soon start asking for his account details. Nigerians are indeed, very easy to deceive. Doesn't he feed? How did he manage to save such an amount from his allowee within the space of 10 months?

lol, if I wanted money, I'd have gone to Twitter not NL

advanceDNA:
