Thanks for d info. I doubt if any financial institution still gives 12-14% interest on fixed deposit. I was at Zenith bank Awolowo road to discuss with my account officer about fixed deposit, their interest is very low @ 4%. Went to Renmoney to do some enquiry I was told they offer high interest rate. The lady I met there told me fixed deposit account services is closed for now. I am thinking of one foreign high yield investment program currently. My cousin base in Switzerland introduced me to it. You invest $1,200 to earn $8000 in period of 3months

It must not b d traditional bank.
Check ARM, dey HV good rates

Yes very very few financial investment can give anything close to 12% on a consistent basis at the moment,

I have researched b4 coming out to say so,

But since you are very sure, you may offer them 14%,

[/b]Examples of pure financial investment that give 14% returns would be a better mention in your last sentence

Research is like digging, more depth is needed.

This is an Uber/ Bolt platform. So let's not go too far.
Its right under your nose. [b]Check d affiliate app to the Ocar.

I am an investment guru (u can chuckle if you like).

Based on ur calculation it's, #1,166 for 100k in a month @14%
So how does #101,166 come in.
Mind you for 1M it now becomes $11,666.
All calculated @per annum bases.
So something is wrong with that ROI amount.
Let's not jump into wrong assumptions.

At this time very few can give you 11.5%-12%.
Business is a better returns for investment but then should u want to go for investment, I DOUBT(didn't say impossible) anything above 12%.
But then you can be wary

At d end of the month, by default, you shd know #101,166 means 'amount + interest'.

And I Neva said ROI.

Cos everyday your money moves by trickles, and you have access to it.

Tell me, when you are given interest in the bank, do they separate it from your initial savings, its added automatically.

Same thing wt money managers, der is an online platform wc shows daily / weekly growth of your funds.

Saying very few can give it, pls do your search

And you read where I said. 'Let's use an example'

Abeg I wan invest 2.7 million Naira, how much will I get at end of 6months tenure. I am damn serious about it.

Before you invest, the best money market guys around giv around 12-14% / ANNUM n not monthly. So let's use an example.

100,000 @ 14%/ annum - 14,000

Monthly- #14,000/12 - #1,166.

So at d end of a month- #101,166.

If you withdraw money before tenure, interest is prorated for d lapse or you forfeit interest according to deir terms & conditions.

For 1 million, just multiply AMOUNT Invested by 10.

If he gross 14k with most 3k5 pending on car, Bolt remove 2k8, maybe toll 500, if he remove 6800 from 14k, then his take home will be 7200... What r we not saying, his children self we greet him, daddy welcome!

Lagos mechanics ! Another group of guys DT cud wreck you if you ain't careful

Car was stalling on speed, he said it was the throttle actuator. OK how much?

He said belgium 12k, delivery 1k workmanship 2k.
Gave the guy 15k.

To cut long story short, d throttle didn't work. ( I suspected, he just pulled one from his inventory ) grin

Car stalled @ lekki, on Saturday. managed to drive back to mainland.

He started giving me Lamba , I said no issues.

Just remove this Belgium n put back my old one.
Funny enough, since Monday, car has not stalled.

Ocar still needs to do a lot of marketing to pull in more drivers.

Give that to Bolt, even if what Uche is going to tell you, you already know it, dem go still send you message just to remain relevant in your mind.

Maximum sentences of six months and fines not more than a hundred thousand naira despite the pain and bankruptcy they inflict on their innocent victims?

EFCC and the judges involved in this case must be joking. It seems the authorities aren't yet willing to curb this menace.

The whole idea is to get a conviction.

In saner climes, being a convict erodes a lot of public goodwill you mite enjoy.

Uber or bolt , if you know Lagos very well you don't need them.

The peeps in FCT can relate well, if you hv got a good car, wtout AC and nonsense attitude from riders,

you will still make something worthwhile and not sit endlessly waiting for a ride.

N you can plan your time to use for other endeavours.

Uber is pure slavery. Somtyms i just laff wen pple think dey make money on uber.

I mean a whole 25% grin

.

In Abuja, guys dt use corrolla to hustle still make more on the street than on uber.

Las las you cut ticket union: #100, Amac: #200 ( and that one sef, u can still dodge it, if you hv street orientation by avoiding some places.)

You net 8 or 9k. #300 on 9k. That's lyk 3-4% commission.

Note. This is wtout one yeye "oga increase your ac, its hot "

Its glaring wtout surge or 3%. Uber has no bite.

Like 24 hrs, they HV a very slow process out there.

But make sure your reference is correct. Your acct will be updated.

NB: if you can spare 1k extra, you can add it. So that you still have some leverage before the debt swell up again.

Cos most trips on Bolt now is cash.

One od the downsides with bolt... Very annoying app

Thing is Bolt still has a lot of work to do on its app.

For instance, rider requested, you pick request, less than 2 secs, rider has cancelled embarassed

n you pin such cancellations on the driver.

I mean is it possible to communicate wt rider in 3 secs.

Their app needs some serious overhaul,
.

Funny enough, last year August or so, they called some drivers on the app for a roundtable discussion where they increased their commission.

I don't know maybe it was just a ruse or corporate PR protocol.
.
Or d drivers were just too timid to make their positions known
