Proper verification (BGC) will be carried out, before being admitted...
2022 own kicks on this month.... Boss why not 20k weekly, that way, there is a collector weekly. 200k every week., after 10 weeks, another cycle continues. Or same 50k monthly but 2 people collect weekly 250 weekly. |

obinoral1179: what are the business if I may ask? I will give you one. a. Food.... Your particular niche will be hinged on your type of person. Let me extend it a bit, sharwama will generate the same returns a car on Uber will give you daily. I can give you a financial breakdown of the equipment you will be needing for this. But, do your research, revelation is the mother of faith. True, Uber brings in the much needed daily cash (for owners driving it) . But as an investor, putting 1.8 million to collect less than 5k daily ( which is not guaranteed, oh yes. ). is not a good business decision. ROI, ROI, ROI..... |

Simulator: Hello everyone,
I need your assistance to enable me make a business decision. My brother approached me today to buy a car with which he could start uber business. My budget is between 1,5 and 1,8 million.
My intention is that he pays the money every week/month until I recover the purchase amount. The problem is that there's no way I could physically monitor his performances/activities. I would have to rely solely on what he tells me because we don't live in the same country.
Could you please give me suggestions as regards how profitable the business is, the pitfalls to avoid and how realistic it would be to recover my investment within a year or a little above that.
I'd really appreciate your inputs. Thanks for your time . You can't recover 1.8 million in a year. ( that's 5k daily for the next 360 days, Haba, you sef think am now..... Even a machine will break down. .BTW, Why do people like buying naija used car for a business aimed at providing uninterrupted flow of income. ... You guys get mind sha, a whooping 1.8 million to buy car and be running around Lagos like a rabbit when there are better businesses with good ROI. |

Pearl1910: Guy, I be military officer pikin o, even if u dey come baracks or any military formation and u r a General, and there is protocol at the gate, u will follow that protocol, except express entry has been prepared for u or they are aware of your coming. Then u identify urself and pass. If CP was on official duty, escort would have gone ahead of him to clear way and get clearance for him. Bottom line is he wasn't on official duty to that estate. He went as a guest to a party. This is not a case of being on duty 247. What are you saying? You be military officer pikin. Look, i attended a military boarding school too. In the early 90s, when military was still in power. Our commandant ( if you know the rank of a commandant) disrespected his superior, I don't want to share what the top brass in Lagos did to him. Honour to whom honour is due.... Is magodo brooks the first estate, he will be visiting officially /unofficially for the past 3 years.? What will cause that unprofessional way of handling VIPs.. I'm glad the CP didn't let that kind of shit slide. Uttermost disdain for esprit de corps. |

Ibukun93: Happy new year my people. It's actually my first January in the hustle. I learnt there's something called winter. What does it look like, how bad is it, what should one expect and how do we cope. Can I gross 100k weekly during the winter? Yes, you can. You see what you expect. Expect good trips, (might not even be on the platform) and it will come your way. Last year, Kanuis posted 3 months of good (Jan-Mar) earnings. This year won't be different. Cheers bro. |

Pearl1910: Are we still talking about Magodo Brooks or we are now generalizing to all streets with gate that leads to another main road? Let's remain within the armbits of this subject so we don't get distracted, make a mountain out of a molehill and miss d point. Magodo Brooks is definitely a private estate. Just like VGC and other enclosed, reclaimed lands that leads no where and where previously valleys, swamps, forests, etc.
U see, d problem is we don't understand the rule of law anymore because actions of our leaders and politicians has bastardized our thinking, our mentality and our personalities and we don't want to know our rights by learning.
Police commissioner does not have right to anywhere even on official duty without permission by the court. (Except for national security and terrorism). So ur thinking that because he is commissioner of Police he has right of access anywhere he goes is skewed.
In this case he wasn't on official duty, he came for a social visit, he wasn't refused access, he was just to wait for access. It's d delay that made him angry and for him to show he has power. Nothing more, nothing less. I knew you were going to say this. Let me clear you. A security personnel is always on duty 24/7. Ask those who are in the know about security issues on what I just stated up there. |
Business › Re: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by northbird: 7:47am On Jan 04, 2022 |
@ pearl.
The security guards were not blind. I mean if you see a lion or a rhinoceros in real life, you would know these are special kind of animals, they don't need any introduction, their mere presence is intimidating....
No matter the influx of guests, the arrival of the CP and his men will surely stand out, heck there was even a rider escort, Baba forget, those security guards goofed big time.
On the issue of preferential treatment, it's a global thing. If you fly into any country with a private Jet, (United States inclusive) there is a separate clearance desk for VIPs, you won't queue with everybody.
In Lagos alone, there are over 15 area commands. Even an area commander won't dare his/her CP. Honour to whom honour is due. |

Pearl1910: Ewo... protocol should be bypassed ke. Maybe in his police headquarters, not in a private estate. Whether they recognize him or not. He should wait for his host to call d gate. Do u know d caliber of people living on that estate? Commissioner of police na their boy  I don't mean to derail the thread. What caliber, If I may ask? When the chips r down, and the real criminals come knocking, it's still the same police the so called "high caliber" will call. And not the 30k /month rent a cop they mounted at the gate. You want to know the truth. The security guards disregarded the office of the CP. They are security men, they are in the know. how long will it take you to clear a high profile officer like the CP.? See, the issue is not about them doing their job, the real issue is the security guards not giving a care in the world who they kept waiting, they displayed this I don't care attitude,. Haba.. , "Taba ranni nise eru, a nfi tomo je." , it means, if you are being sent the job of a slave, you can as well deliver it in a most dignified manner" The insignia of the office of the CP was in full display. Not covered. You wouldn't understand if you were not born n bred in the southwest. |

Nezzjnr: There's this Beach called Ijele Beach at Volks area.
That place is really nice... I don't know why a lot of people don't know that area. Safety! safety! Safety! This is the edge, island beaches have over all these Badagry /mile 2 /volks axis.

skillip: I think 1/3 of Lagos was at the bish(beach) today, the traffic na World Cup and this affected most parts of the Island. Unfortunately it's within the city that is already congested. Hopefully when Lagos-Badagry road is completed people can visit and see what beaches should look like not all these over hyped dirty ones. I doubt people will leave the island to Badagry for beach sightseeing. You can still get a ride out of the island beaches by 10pm to mainland easily. From Badagry axis, na war. The crime rate at that axis is alarming. Yes, traffic could pin you down on Ligali ayorinde, or road leading to Landmark, but you won't be afraid some loser will come out of nowhere to rob you in a gridlock. Though I agree with you, the beaches are overhyped.. Esp. that alpha Beach. Landmark is the only one that looks sane n its cos of a functional management. |

Cos it's only those who did drops mainly that will convert easily to ehailing.

Any union that's not legally seal, paying dowry or bride price attract ev!l things to happen from the Lord not Dev!l False. Wake up. Who told you all these things.? Can you back this with a scripture? I doubt it  |

Ourkitchenpalm: Dowry is the same as Bride Prize. No difference between a woman whose dowry has not been paid and a prostitute...........
Matthew 1:18 [18]Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit.
Joseph paid dowry. You don't BETROTHED empty handed. Why are you twisting scriptures? Let me clear you. Bethrohed- means, the young lady (a VIRGIN) given to another young man as partner ( even when they are still in their teens) It's a common practice in the middle east. BTW, are you joking at the bolded? That's a lie, Biko. |

specialmati: hmmm ok i understand what you mean but dont say your dad didnt accept your sis bride price because in that case it means he rejects his inlaw,but rather say my sis bride price was paid but my dad use it to bless them.that your dad didnt collect your sis bride price doesnt mean her bride price was not paid.bride price is a token presented in contest of the groom family wanting to take a bride from another family thats where it all started before the church setting in to bless the union.no right church will wed you if bride price are not paid.that of india is still intact bride price was still paid Forget it. Bride price is just symbolic. The most important factor in marriage is the parental consent/blessings . Once that is granted., the couple can go ahead and start living together. |
Christianity Etc › Re: If Your Bride Price Is Not Paid You Can Never See God- Female Preacher(video) by northbird: 5:45pm On Dec 30, 2021 |
Babalegba: You are confusing culture with spirituality. A church has nothing to do with bride price but represents God at the union.The priest acts as the representative of God at the marriage and any attempt to extort exorbitant bride price from the groom is an act of corruption and unscriptural.. A woman should not be sold. In India the bride price is of negative balance since the woman pays the price to the husbands family. Asking for exorbitant bride price shows quite clearly that the bride's family is poverty stricken Baba on the bolded, you are100% correct. When I see some ridiculous bride price,I know it's from poor family relations. I'm like, these things ( bride price, marriage list) are meant to be symbolic, frustrating young couples cos of fulfilling one cultural practice. In some cultures, it's bragging rights. I did this, n that, the whole village feel me. |
Christianity Etc › Re: If Your Bride Price Is Not Paid You Can Never See God- Female Preacher(video) by northbird: 5:19pm On Dec 30, 2021 |
mechanics: Hmmmm, salvation, sanctification and the baptism in the Holy Spirit are the criteria to make it to heaven, other things are secondary, but as a Christian, one should not joke with the issue of bride price, if one is staying with a lady and has not fully paid her bride price, he his seeking the wrath of God upon himself. The bolded is false. Are you an advocate of God? When a Nigerian leaves the shores of the country, he/she will be shocked at how things are different. |

Fimly: Yes, drive to earn. I don't really get what you mean as "driven before." but if it's about driving competence. I presently drive normal Abuja taxi, and know everywhere in Abuja like the back of my hand.
Yes, it'll be full time. As for the car: we'll go and buy the car, but Toyota is my favourite, though I also like Nissan. Good. You dey the game already. Make sure it's tokunbo. Toyota corolla is good. But you need to have a mental shift (relating with customers) . Cos you are going to be under an operator now. Cos Abuja taxi drivers no get chill at all for all the sme sme female riders. Though most female riders in Abuja r cool headed 25k should be the standard in Abuja. But ask your principal first how much he wants. In the evening , go to nitel junction, jevenik, you will see Uber drivers parked, they will give you orientation on the present operating conditions. Safety: Don't go to berger / Area 1 / Area 3 at night to pick passengers on your way home. ( standard practice for some private car owners when going home) . They hijack corrollas easily from these points. I'm sure you are aware of one chance cases in Abuja. Be safe. |

eyinola: lol, this 25% after 8 trips, I completed the 8 trips as at ard 1pm , as at ard 8pm i was on 4900 bonus I was happy straight home to watch Chelsea match , after the match at past 10pm na so I just say make i open my app check my balance na so o see completion rate 83% and i finished at 87%. I went to check my trips i saw one trip after i hv closed ooooo that i didnt respond, I vex but i open my app bang bang I got request I completed the order and completion rate jump to 84 remaining 1 cos i need 85% got another request, i was on the ride then another one came in i picked to my surprise bolt app say error: order was not found as i drop the rider my completion rate went back to 80% ...bolt if u miss an order u loose 3% and u will need 3 trips to cover for one loss trip imagine so I needed to start looking for 5 trips again na so I vex face my house order dey enter I dey bounce am You see why I said in the previous post that the bonus is stupid, absurd and a ruse to just make one drive more. If you want to give a bonus, give a bonus, not that you will attach conditions to the bonus. I mean, what's wrong with Bolt? , That year, bonus on Uber was straightforward, do 15 trips, you will be on 3%. No stupid completion and acceptance % That's why I laugh when people risk their lives (going to dangerous places at night) and health (driving for long hours without proper bed rest) to get bonus. These companies don't give a flying f...k about their drivers, just a case of another man down, another foot soldier will be drafted in. Bolt has no real bonus. So shameful. |
