In a saner clime, there's nothing to celebrate but here we're. May Allah guide us right in this country

If this is true. Then it's worth celebrating. That's close to $80k. An average human, regardless of race and geographical location, won't turn down such.

justmatiu:
the price of peace is always cheaper than the price war.
let their be peace.

To another school of thought, you might be wrong. The theory is, "If you want peace, prepare for war" in other words, peace is achieved only through war. In essence, the price of peace is the same price to pay when executing war.

Dpsychologist:
Why do people cheat on the one person they can’t afford to lose...
with someone they would never even want to keep? 😩

Like, make it make sense!

You love them, you need them, you say they’re your world — but one small distraction comes along and boom, you fumble everything for a “situationship” that means absolutely nothing.

Emotional damage, zero gain.
Pure sabotage.

Let’s be real:
Cheating isn’t always about lack of love.
Sometimes it’s ego, immaturity, or just vibes and bad decisions.
But one thing’s for sure — you’ll almost always regret losing the real one for the random one.

If you’ve ever been through it (on either side), you know how messy and painful it can get.

So ask yourself today:
Is that 5-minute thrill worth a lifetime of guilt and regret?

🤔 Think twice.
💯 Choose love — not confusion.
🎯 Stay loyal or stay single.

Proverbs 9:17, " stolen water is sweet and bread eaten in secret is tasty." I guess that summarizes it

Experts in the house, kindly advise is this vehicle efficient for Uber or Bolts here in Lagos?
It's a 1999/2000 model, will it be approved for Uber or Bolts?

Omoapena:
some customers will complain, some will not even enter your car, but if you can convince them with good reason why you tint your car, some may consider.

I drive tinted car as well and I've only encountered 1 person that rejected going with me cox of it.

Please can I use Pontiac G6 for e-hailing?

Chiefdeni:
..honestly won't advice you to...nigerians barely sell their cars unless there is a recurring problem they are tired of fixing...getting a car for that amount that would be suitable for ehailing will be difficult if not impossible...even a tiny light camry sells for 1.6 and it isn't an ideal ehailing car plus it isn't strong enough( something with its time chain)...You might get a car for that amount but keep in place money for new engine, new gear etc....you might end up spending more to put it in place.

I appreciate this. Thanks.

Gentlelife50:
Na CARbin biscuit you go fit get that amount.

Can I get a Nigerian used car for 1.5m, even if it's manual?

dru23:
My only main concern here is the true condition of the vehicle.....


A 2010 is very ok for Uber, since you will be the only driver that will be driving it for Uber.. it is more than super ok ...

I don't think you will drive the car to the point that it will be deterimetal to your well-being or the car. But again for naija only few a normal .... The only issue is your maintenance culture and how good it is...


I use to invest in Uber in the early days.. so am speaking from experience.. 2010 Toyota Corolla is more than ok for Uber

Can I get a Nigerian used car for 1.5m, even if it's manual?

SmartPolician:
Like Tinubu like Buhari, it's always hard promoting and defending habitual failures. Nearly two years in office, the discussion should be what he has achieved, not this useless comment about harassment. Trivial things begin to matter when you have a monumental failure as a president.

It's patriotic when you criticize objectively but when you are subjective, it insinuate two things: It's either you are an enemy or a betrayal. I'm certain if you take an assessment of his time in office thus far, there will be a thing you can attribute to him

How does this comment relate to the article? You need to be mindful of malicious statement.

The Zoo obviously over rates itself.

Finland has yet to conclude investigation, have not tried him in court and no conviction YET but these buffoons are already thinking they can just drop a few document and go carry a Finnish citizen.

At the end of all these, Simon will be released. Just watch. All ewedu and gbegiri-licking !mbec!les will be masturbating on my mention 😂

You seem to have a poor knowledge of how justice system works not to talk of justice administration in a developed country. Do you seriously believe Finnish government will arrest and remand him without incriminating evidence?

helinues:
FG should stop being petty

Are those listed states in Nigeria not troubled states in terms of security?

Ebienfa, you should be relieved from your duty for this pettiness on behalf of Nigeria

Btw, if your state is amongst the listed state by Australia and you have been blowing grammar online for years, cover your face in shame. Your grammar and education are useless

The shame is more to the Nigerian state than to the inhabitants or aborigines of the states listed. Did you count the number of states listed in the article? If that number of states is insecure then the FG has a lot to do.

Kewtt:
Is that all? What role did the government agents informed play?

Police, commissioner etc

Discussing with the commissioner of women affairs and officially informing the state governments are two different matter. What would help her case more would be documents presented to the state government seeking approval.

kingthreat:
90% of drug addicts start from weed.
Also most weed in Nigeria is laced with other synthetic stuff.
Please Davido should not be listened to. MJ is a drug. I know someone who got into a psychiatric ward from just mere weed.

Marijuana in it's pure state ( cut the grass, dry and smoke) can have adverse effects on certain individuals (not on all) to butress your point that "it got someone into psychiatric hospital" however it still considered as the mildest of all drugs because there are no or mild withdrawal symptoms. The genetically modified marijuana like loud, sk, Arizona, Marley, Colorado however can have adverse effects on most individuals because it has been processed in a green house.
In conclusion, whilst it's a drug, the usage is what define it. In addition, the addictive content is not as impactful as alcohol, cigarettes

Angel55555:
The penalty for armed robbery is death.

Which section of the constitution is that from?

LandMann:
Even if it's mortgage and loan it's not a problem cos interest is low at around 6-9% and he can easily repay it with a stable job

Compare that to Nigeria where interest rate is over 33% and you can't even get a reasonable loan cos you're most likely in a shitty job or "contract" job that a stupid yoruba president brought to Nigeria. What about mortgage in Nigeria? No go area for any working class unless you're stealing from your company, committing fraud or crime to augment your shitty salary.

If someone tells you Nigeria is a completely useless country because of its leaders, don't argue it, even if you're in a privileged position.

It's when majority of citizens in a country are living well and happy that's when you have a functioning society

You missed out on a point. Access to loan and mortgage isn't dependent solely on amount of salary you earn but on the structure put in place to ease the process of accessing and repayment.

Holly Gram Come to think of it. He did nothing wrong if he his buying it for his own protection.


As e be now for this KUNTRY. Everybody suppose get one KALA for ther house or the one way dem go carry de walker around.


KUNTRY is not safe and we all know that.


NASO them bin arrest me last year and collect my new KALA. although it was licensed.


I later got another one but u see this my OLD KALA, them no fit collect am ooo because “He that drinks water from an empty calabash, knows that the calabash will soon be empty … only the wise will understand.


LITE UP my WEED in peace


WTF MAN!

Ak-47 aren't licenced. Even the Beretta in your post isn't licenced except you are a man of the force. Guns that are licensed for private individuals are usually pump action, single or double barrels.

Brainbox0806:
I've been a member of the Uber partner thread for some years now, I started from reading for fun then fell in love with the hustle.... so I ventured into the business 3 years ago, all strategies that kick-started the business were derived from here. I hate to fail, hence I always do my DD very well before embarking on any business so I abandoned my personal car at home then bought a big daddy to test the waters, I registered on Uber/Bolt platforms and drove for like 6 months in my free time.



Having gathered enough experience I supposed, I bought four cars (very sound Local used) to start the business, things were going normal then i bought additional 4 to complement my quest for financial freedom via e-hailing. Within the space of seven months I already bought 15 cars all from my savings literally because I couldn't account for where the previous gains were going per se but I was hoping for better days but my hopes kept dashing away.

My goal was to use the cars for a year period then resell all of them before they start falling apart, for example buy a car for 3m, make 1.2m profit in a year, use 200k for revamping, then sell back for 3m

To shorten the story, I was really overwhelmed by the severe headache in the business, ranging from bad drivers, unfaithful mechanic, traffic law enforcement, police and so on. I became a frequent visitor to the police stations and lastma, this was taken toll on my mental & general health, I'm this easy going person but the business changed my personality to a trouble maker kind of, you know that agbero lifestyle, wether someone is looking for my trouble or not I was always on the edge to spill fire, always feeling so edgy, wether they (drivers) are communicating with me in a cool or harsh manners,my words are always fire and full of anger. I became so paranoid, so bitter because those devourers just don't wish me well.

NB: I handled this business all alone, visitation to the guarantors, verification, inspections are all done by me alone, I believe that was the reason I was having a constant breakdown. Then my mechanic started selling my own vehicles parts to me, like removing my coils (even if I put marks on them to differentiate mine) and whenever I'm not on ground selling same coils to my driver's, sabotaging the cars to constantly extort me and the drivers.

I feel worried whenever I see calls from the drivers because they never called for any good reasons, either to have me send money to them for repairs that occurred through sabotaging far away from my location intentionally or to visit the lastma/ police that seized the car. most of the repairs they call for are fakes and it's just to extort me so they can use same foe weekly remittance.

Two cars were totalled while in operation, both are due to drunk drivers. I got a call from a drunk driver around past 12am, he could hardly express himself well on the phone, he mumbled : trailer hit me, i left the car on the road, I shouted Jesus my heart skipped so fast. I asked him to get the car off the road at least, he said he can't because he was afraid of vandalizer not to attack him, then he said: my mummy will buy you another car.. mogbe.. I couldn't sleep well all through the night. By 5am I rushed to the accident scene, car has been removed off the road by the police to the station causing multiple accidents because the drunkard didn't put a c caution or at least put on the hazard lights. I was detained at the police station because two of the cars involved are luxurious ones, drunk driver had bolted and a visit to his house and that of his guarantors wasn't fruitful. It was a messy one for me.

My method of operation: you are to pay 50k for caution fee before giving you the car then subsequent 30k weekly for rental fee, 50/50 repair fee between drivers and owner, any damage incurred by the driver will be fixed by him. Unfortunately some of the damages incurred by my drivers saw to the end of some of the cars, like engine damage caused by driving in the flood, damaged gear box because the driver didn't bother to gauge the oil or due to oil leakage etc.

Only four of the drivers were so responsible,you don't need to call them before payment, the rest you will have to call, threatening them continually before they pay, it was so draining.. One morning, I woke up with irregular heart beat and I said to my self, enough is enough. I accepted that I've failed and I decided to move on, I decided to sell the remaining 13 cars of which almost all of them were in a bad condition due to a constant use or badly used even though we service them monthly. Having decided that I was going to stop the business, I started using the remittance received from the business to repair two cars at a time then sell off, I continued that way until I sold 11, remaining two with a damaged engine parked in my compound. By this way, I incurred little or no loss capital wise but imagine what I would have gained if I had invested the money in bonds or treasury bills.

Insurance (compherensive) was very helpful but they were also overwhelmed by the constant accidents reports and one (mutual benefits) decided not to partner with me any further while other increase their fee.

I won't advise anyone against this business but make sure you are ready physically, mentally before embarking on it. Set out your rules. One of the challenges I faced was to get a car ready n fit for another driver after a failed partnership with a bad driver who would have damaged the car very badly and his caution fee can't afford the repair.

If I have to do this again in year 2024(rental), these are the things to consider:


1. Insure the car ( compherensive)
2. 150k/200kk for caution fee
When caution fee is exhausted, retrieve your car
3. 50k for weekly fee
4. Only have small numbers of fleet you can manage, because you will be vulnerable and easily overwhelmed, one car, one headache
5 don't depend or expect much responsibility from the guarantors, most of them are poor.
6. Select your drivers carefully, some of them are drug addicts, gamblers and womaniser. I've had to retrieve a car from a hotel where the driver lodge with an olosho but refused to pay rent for three weeks.
7. Inspect your car weekly or bi weekly
8. Avoid familiarity with your mechanic, be ready to change him at any time and avoid him buying parts for you to prevent sabotaging, buy your own parts your self.
9. Install tracker to enforce shutdown of the car
10 avoid amateurs/novice drivers, some of them only know how to move the car forward, they don't listen to the car functionality or know the warning signs on the dashboard. A driver knocked my engine because he doesn't know the oil spillage logo on the dashboard

I wish you all the very best

I'm currently looking for car to drive on rental basis. I've got a 9-5 which I don't intend to leave. I'm hoping to work E-Hailing part time mostly on weekends. Just in case you are open to discussion.

dapotemi:
You have said it all..There is NO INVESTOR that has not experience most or all of this.....anyone that is telling you otherwise is not saying the truth...This is somebody that PUT ALL HIS BODY. No be 9-5 ooo....
Drivers are the most unfortunate people you can partner with, except very very few! Even on his thread, am not sure there are up to 5 of them that has successfully finished their HP but they are here dishing advice...even a brand new car dey break down regularly for their hand!!!
I notice a pattern, once they deliver for like a month, then the story go just start, from no where...It was so bad that I had to make an arrangement for daily pay! Yes, you pay daily! I just dedicated one of my old acct number for that purpose..Now am trying something new entirely and it looks promising and it's still on ehailing .it's about 5 month or so, waiting to hit 6 month then maybe share a review...We just try to use what we have to get what we want..

I'm currently looking for car to drive on rental part time. I've got a 9-5 which I don't intend to leave. Looking for additional income. Just in case you are open for discussion.

His remake of that song with Faith Evans was a hit back in the days in tribute to Notorious B.I.G featuring bad boys entertainment.

Lol! Which one is featuring "bad boys entertainment?" He owns bad boy entertainment!

EreluRoz:
Nothing impress me about him anymore, I liked him and thought he will be a good president but he broke my heart.

I was reliably informed on how he transformed Lagos and how good he was with governance but I guess a lot changed about him.

Firstly I faulted his appointees and noticed he was just appointing people based on personal relationship and not competence. Not even one Okonjo iweala or Sanusi Lamido in his government. I still wish him to do well, any government that has no good impact on the downtrodden is a bad government.
Put Nigeria in your daily prayers and ask God to fix it.

Shalom

Not that I'm pleased with the situation of things but you can't criticize his government objectively considering he isn't in power for at least two years.
Couple with that is the fact that the problems besieging Nigeria didn't just start today. There's an accumulation of rot in the system which will take a lot more than four years to flush out

Peace!

Point No.2 is useless to us

The rest seem like we will soon be living Dubai life in Nigeria



Reduced demand on FX and the elimination of Queues(Which means demand will be met) are the biggest news this September so far

God Bless PBAT

Point 2 in itself is the most crucial. It's terrible that a state like Nigeria can not account accurately for her fuel consumption. It's an avenue for corruption.
