Hello all

OAKSFIVEFARMS:
Hello everyone, happy Sunday. I'm happy, I hope you are too. In case you aren't, I have brought some financial advise to brighten your day.
I want to talk about investment and return on investment (ROI) in the context of Uber.
So I was researching fixed deposit rates, not to invest but to get a comparison between that and an investment in Uber.

The best rate I was able to get was 3% on a 30 day fix, that is, if you left your money with the bank for 30 days, they would give you an appreciation on your capital of 3%. So I though, let's choose a nominal figure for the sake of this post, a figure of say #1,500,000.

If you fix #1,500,000 naira on a percentage of 3%, at the end of the term, you make a profit (or interest) of 50,000 naira. A not so whooping sum of #12,500 per week. I believe there is also a service charge, though negligible, it will affect your bottomline.

Now let us look at an equivalent investment on Uber,
Now that Uber is accepting year 2000 cars and newer.
Let's say you invest in Uber with #1,500,000.
You are guaranteed returns of #120,000 per month
, #30,000 per week.

From my layman calculation that is about 8% compared to fixed deposits' 3%.

Quite a difference when the capital we speak of is #1,500,000 .

Now, I think you may speak of risk. Fixed deposits are essentially risk free, while Uber carries certain risks ; accident, theft, fire etc, but that is where insurance comes in. For about #50,000 naira you can negate all risks, for upto 1 year. Over the course of a year, that is 4000 every month. Risk averted.
If we were to deduct interest from risk premium (insurance) we get a profit of 116,000 per month, still much higher than fixed deposit.

One legitimate concern of course is, what happens to mechanic costs when you have to fix the car (this is a variable and highly dependent on other factors, also it is unpredictable so I won't calculate that here), if you get a good vehicle, you don't have to worry about mechanic costs, I have been driving my car on Uber for 3 months and haven't had cause to visit a mechanic, so it's been all profit for me.

So how do you get a good car? Leave that to us, we can help you source for well maintained vehicles from reputable car dealerships.
As fleet managers, we can help you purchase sound vehicles for your investment.

It is worthy to mention that no investment vehicle(no pun intended) is devoid of risk, fixed deposits are affected by inflation while Uber vehicles are affected by depreciation.

I think any investment that out performs the local fixed deposit rates is a good investment. Think about it.

Invest in Uber today.

Have a happy Sunday and a lovely week folks.

Thanks for your response.
Please where is their office in abuja and how fast is it to get a car to drive.

29 mambilla, off aso drive.

Hallo

He will pay it

Once the old driver leaves his former partner the 10k goes back to The partner.

New partner pays for the "already done verification".

It's a closed system.

Oh, that's how that works. Thanks for the enlightenment. Have you actually experienced it?

chillex8:
Why old drivers.


So you don't want to fight corruption

He doesn't want to pay the 10k for background check.

Prince081:
This your analysis get K leg. Do the same analysis with Treasury bills versus Uber.

Thanks for sharing your observations. I am not saying Uber is the best investment in the world.I believe I stated I chose fixed deposit, because, in my personal opinion "any investment that outperforms fixed deposit is a good investment" and because they share a common threshold (of couse, so do treasury bills). I can't compare Uber to every single investment, I chose fixed deposit for the sake of relativity ie how good an investment Uber is as compared to another easily understandable investment vehicle. You can also share with us an analysis of your own, the public will be better informed as a result of it. I really would be appreciative if you chose to share more of your observations, thanks and cheers.

I asked a question about how i can be an uber driver.

Uber us not in Benin at the moment, only lagos and abuja.
You can become an Uber driver by going to their office in either lagos or abuja with your drivers license and 1000 naira. When you get to their office, mention that you want to register as a driver, they will adminster a test, if you pass, you can become an uber driver. You must also have an email address and a phone number.
Ideally you should have an android or an iPhone.

Hello all

goldenval:
I bought 2 Corolas last 2 months for Uber business and I handed it over to someone a driver I met during my trip to South Africa,
Since May till yesterday, he was supposed to pay 400k but he gave excuses of traveling to the village. Then thank God for the trackers, I tracked one of the car and found it at Eko hotel Victorian Island and I arrested the driver and he brought the 2nd car today.

The sad thing is that, he managed to pay 100k today and as I am writing this, the 2 cars are in my house and I don't have any faith in continuing the Uber business and I don't mind selling both cars at reasonable prices and move on.

Thanks

How much?

Hello all, brand new posts coming soon

Nobody is disowning anybody. So now it has to do with the coup Anioma is now Igbo but when u comes to any other thing it's south south? Hypocrisy like this weakens me. Those that plan the coup didn't meant for it to turn out the way it is. They wanted to savage Nigeria coz of everything going on at the time. People jubilated after the coup until certain persons for obvious reasons gave it a tribal colouration. Read about events that led to the coup maybe you will become more enlightened and try to red with an unbiased mind . Nigerians are difficult people.

You realise that as at when they struck, there was nothing like south south? Only eastern region which he fell squarely in. They say an Nzeogwu, from Anioma, in the eastern region committed coup, especially with help from majorly eastern elements. Who do you think the world will point to? Middle belters?!
Let's borrow a scenario, let's say I'm from a polygamous home of 3 wives. The second wife says she wants to kill the husband so that the 1st and the 3rd wife's children can inherit their father, eventually, she kills the man and somehow somehow, by hook or crook, her children end up with all the property.
Now let's say you are a child of the 3rd wife, will you believe 2nd wife truly did it selflessly and it was just providence that made her children inherit all the property of the father?

There are Igbo in delta, my friend, just like there are Nigerians in bakassi. Division of states is what made them fall into delta state. At the time they were relevant to the coup, they were from Anioma, no Delta State which firmly made him (Nzeogwu) igbo.

Let's look at a comprehensive list of the organisers of the coup,
Nzeogwu
Onwuatwegu
Okafor
Ademulegun
Ifeajuna
Anuforo
Chukwuka

Let's look at a comprehensive list of the people killed
CIVILIANS
Balewa
Bello
Akintola
Okotie Eboh
Musa
Bello
Ademulegun
Sardauna
Pategi

ARMED FORCES
Ademulegun
Maimalari
Shodeinde
Mohammed
Mohammed
Largema
Pam
Unegbu
Oyegoke
Girkana
Nimzo
Anduka
Lai
Lewande

And guess who emerged from this all with power
Ironsi

What do you guys think now?

According to Wikipedia
"Acting President Nwafor Orizu made a nationwide broadcast, after he had brief President Nnamdi Azikiwe on the phone the decision of the cabinet, announcing the cabinet's "voluntary" decision to transfer power to the armed forces. Major GeneralJohnson Aguiyi-Ironsi then made his own broadcast, accepting the "invitation".

The top echelon of government was so strategically wiped out that
An eastern man in " Nnamdi Azikiwe" who was president consulted with another eastern man in "Nwafor Orizu" who was senate president, to give power to another eastern man in "Aguiyi Ironsi" who was GOC.

An igbo man (Ironsi) brought about this unitary system of government, which (guess what) was such a good idea then because the east was in power and unification would have put him in control of the whole country. It was sweet that time.The other regions didn't want.
Now the same east is crying, claiming it doesn't want again, it wants biafra, it wants restructuring, it wants secession, simply because the east was comprehensively whooped at a game it started.
It was an easterner that forced us into unitary government by enactment of decree.

It's clear the east tried to grab power and failed.


Even if history will be revised by you, you can't change the players or the events, you can only attempt to change the narrative, unfortunately. And that won't work.


React to that.

Last word... I know nobody ask me, but I will say.
I believe strongly in the Igbo people, im in absolute awe and in love with the spirit of excellence and industry the Igbo people stand for the world over, not just in Nigeria.
Igbo people are at the top of all fields of human endeavour; education, the arts, business, science, literature etc. And these feats are not achieved by mere dancing. And I pray for the continuous advancement of the Igbo race, regardless of the geopolitical situation they find themselves in.

However history is history.

DerideGull:
No, Zik has already employed an editor of his own newspaper. I guess you are a loudmouthed ingrate who will dwell more on hearsay than actual facts. About 1954, Zik was a regional premier. There is no doubt it will amount to suicide if you are forced to do the math. You can, at least, agree that 1954 preceded 1957. In 1934 when Azikiwe returned to Africa, Kwame Nkrumah was a Wharf Clark. You can now check your level on intellectual scale.

Ingrate hunh? What exactly should I be grateful for again?
The fact that Zik and his brothers scuttled the democracy of Nigeria for personal political reasons.
Or that SL Akintola and Ahmadu Bello were murdered through Ziks political schemings while the premier of the East as well as he were the only surviving top members of government.
Or that the coup he instigated where other regions were killed brought forward Aguiyi Irons from his region to grab power. Of course the narrative would have been different today if the north did not retaliate in a counter coup.
It's high time easterners admit they tried to grab power and failed, that is even more honourable than this charade. At least you did that as Men. Stop whining like girls because you lost out on a game you started.
And by the way, Zik was still editor of the west African pilot as at 1957, alongside his political career.
Here is a little medicine for your cough.

So you don't even know he is from Delta state? I thought I was even engaging someone that was worth interacting with but this just goes to prove you are as ignorant as they come. When you have read like 5 different books, you can come back and engage me for now Bye

Please don't lose hope in "educating" me.
There was no delta state at the time, OK?
He is from anioma, which means "good land" in igbo language no less. Does anioma mean anything in any indigenous south south language? Please translate. I have also even heard he is from Kaduna, anything to disown him right?
Only 5 books? Now that is shallow.
You better grab a chair.

tifany89:
A coup led by Nzeogwu a south south man is Igbo coup,but when it comes to Biafra agitations,two face lying humans will say it's only 5 Eastern states that are involved. Why not pick a struggle, nonsense

Chukwuma Nzeogwu is south south. Wow. Talk about revisionism.

tifany89:
Dude nobody has ever blamed yorubas for the counter coup. It was mainly and purely an hausa/fulani affair. Why most of you likes turning truth on its head is beyond me. Okay wat about the consequent coups? Gideon orkar coup is it a middle bet coup? I have told u feel free to believe what u want. If saying it's an Igbo coup makes u sleep well tonight den so be it but it doesn't change the fact that it wasn't. Are you earn aware that most of the junior officers used in that coup were hausas? It was just d officers that were mainly Igbo. At times I wonder if most of you can't reason independently. Is there any way the coup could v been successful to that extent without active participation of the junior officers? Just read d OPs write up with a free mind and den ask yourself pertinent questions

I understand that nothing I tell you will change your mind. They say a man will never learn something, if his livelihood depends on not learning it.

Dedetwo:
When most dumbass Nigerians who knew absolutely nothing about historic events in Nigeria, they start off calling opposing views ignorant. The above crap is as ignorant as it look. What an idiotic slight. Kwame Nkrumah was still a Wharf Clark when Zik came back from USA. Tafawa Balewa was a British creation.

Lol, you apparently know less. When Kwame Nkrumah was president of Ghana in 1957, Zik was a newspaper editor.

tifany89:
Dude I can't argue with you. Believe whatever you want if dat makes u feel better. If it's possible for you to claim Ademoyega was Igbo I know you would. He gave his account of wat happened in his book 'why we struck', this is someone that was fully involved in the planning process to the execution. But you that know absolutely nothing is here displaying ignorance and u think you are doing me, you are doing yourself. Even Obasanjo in his book 'Nzeogwu' gave his own accounts of events and no where did anybody these men made mention of the coup being an Igbo coup but you feel you know better than these men and u expect me to argue with u? Like I said believe whatever makes feel happy, that is your own cup of tea

Saying because Ademoyega was involved in the coup, so it wasn't an igbo coup is basing your argument on the wrong premise.
Its like saying, the 1966 counter coup wasn't committed by the hausa against the igbos just because yoruba soldiers played a part.
If you are willing to accept this my premise, then I automatically accept yours that the Nzeogwu coup wasn't an igbo coup.

Nnabugwu8590:
And the same Zik you accused according to your above statement is the one that still insisted in one Nigeria when the Nigeria civil war was about to end. Is like you are supporting revisionism.

Did you read where I wrote that Zik was in support of a one Nigeria? The coup wasnt intended to break up Nigeria or cause a civil war. It was merely to grab power for the igbo race. That is why it's leaders were mostly untouched in that pogrom. Which ultimately led to Aguiyi Ironsi the highest ranking soldier in the army, snatching power from the highest ranking civilian at the time- Nwafor Orizu who was senate president, by forcing him to hand government over to him, at gunpoint. At this time Zik was conveniently away on a state trip. Both Igbo men, who miraculously were left standing after the coup. Isn't it instructive that after such a coup, commited by soldiers from mainly igbo extract, the highest ranking soldier and civilian alive were both Igbo men? C'mon man.

If this is what you learnt in your own studies then there is no point calling you an illiterate because that amounts to insult upon illiterates. You are just a pile of puke

Don't quote me 'cos I don't consort with serpents

Actually, you are the one (attempting to) practice (ing) revisionism, we all know the history, stop trying 5o change the narrative. Your attempt reeks of either ignorance or dishonesty, I'm not sure which.
The facts remain, as the previous commenter said. It is painful to watch you try to revise history, and then claim it is the other party trying to do so.
Here is what happened, from the very beginning. The north was initially the most powerful political bloc in the country due to the size and homogeny of the region. In order to have a fair political playing ground, the Action Group (AG) at the time attempted to unite with the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC). But there were only 2 slots available for the leadership of the just birthed country, these slots were the prime minister and the president position. Nnamdi Azikiwe (who wanted unification of the regions, according to the Kwame Nkrumah school of thought,Kwame wanted One Africa as a bigger playing field with him as the overall leader , Nnamdi Azikiwe wanted the same for Nigera) in his quest for power he cut a deal with the north to be the president of the country, leaving Awolowo and the AG out in the cold.
By the time the dust of the elections settled, the prime minister turned out to be the highest position in the land, with the president as a mere figurehead. This didn't bode well with Zik and the eastern political elite at the time who wanted to be number one. Their fear was that the north would perpetuate itself in power. The calculation leading to this thought, was that whoever got control of the country at that budding stage most likely was going to rule for a lifetime (like what's happening in Zimbabwe now).
So Zik reached out to the boys in uniform to achieve what he couldn't at the polls, snatch power, hence the coup.
So please OP, don't act like you are the only one who went to school in the whole village and the rest of us are mere illiterate farmers.
Cheers.
