Okay

How far? You go show am?

You're obviously not a business man.
You're mentioning health centers and pharmacy? Are these businesses anyone can do?
And who told you all proprietors of school are doing financially better than anyone who uses same money to travel out.

9ja083:
Sorry am already into it.
. And in the village, 90% of ppl cant afford going to big hospital for treatment. So i opened a health center in village.
Now am thinking of adding cars and schools to it.
With 8 million, u can have a nursery and primary schools.
With 8 million u can open a motor part business.
With 8 million u can open a good health centers in your village.
With 8 million u can have a standard pharmacy.
With 8 million u can be a major distributor in diapers.
With 8 million u have a mini mall.
All u have to do is to think of what ppl actually need in your location then move into it. If u can't handle it, invite an expert let them guide you.
Everything in this country is money but u need your brain to start thinking.
Even if u want to move to agriculture, just make sure ppl knows what u are doing and u will have customers.
So when i use the word THINK am always thinking of business that wont hurt anyone

There are crimes everywhere but the rates are different?
Tell me or show me the news where in USA or Canada police are stopping random young guys in good cars and tagging them criminals forcing them to ATM and withdraw for them. This ugly thing happens every day across the country such that young guys are even afraid to go out with good phones or laptops. Some people feel they deserve better and saner country than Nigeria and this is enough reason for anyone to relocate if he s the means.

tessytessy:
How many Nigerians are killed for wearing dreadlocks? You guys exaggerate these things Joor.

If you are in America or even in Canada and watch their local stations you will be like 'Wao, na Canada all these things dey happen?".

This young man is a veteran and smart also.

Respect bro

My advice...

Before you position at the airport, try and check if there's any incoming flight before going there, so you don't waste your time and money


There are some sites that help you know incoming flights and with that, you can decide if going to the airport to park is worth it, or not

You'll be fine... And another luck I know is, if you see Delta Airlines arriving, or has arrived, just know you're going to the island

Wetin I do you bro?
Your reply doesn't even have anything to do with my post. Did I ever argue your earning here with you or argued bolt's 25% is better than uber's 3%/20%?
I guess you're mistaking bro.
Anyway, peace.

How hustle?

Good luck and more earnings sir.

tunlapapa:
Bro I know you are still wasting your precious time working on 20% thinking it's better than the 25%. I am only advising you for enlightenment sake since 25% down to 3% is the lesser evil at the moment.
Now I have till Sunday to make more while you are still on 20%. Meanwhile, I have GROSSED 28,000 going by the way taxify deceives drivers by displaying gross instead of net (thinking you are earning more). Follow the train while it's still available.
Meanwhile I didn't earn much last week because I was dis-organised when 30 trips notification came.

donprinyo:
De guy deserves beating

Why do you kids of niaraland love being treated like animals? It is people like you and comment like yours that embolden these officers to be lawless.

He deserves being beaten because there was no way for him to shift for police to go? If the police officers were reasonable enough, the ought to have come son and direct the traffic

tojahh:
Oya make una fallout o. Time don reach to hit 500 hours a month.

Wow, more than 15 hours in a day for a month. I think only a single guy can achieve this feat.

Even if they feel death sentence is the penalty for non remittance?

Amen sir

But the bolded prayer point is confusing

May be he means may you not only take your real wife as gf and fail to marry her while marrying another girl

mrkings84:
All these Buhari policies need be properly checked B4 implementing. What in the world do u stop importation of foreign rice without first making adequate substitution. If our local rice is good and cheap, no one will force anyone to go for it....

I told my wife same thing yesterday. We used to buy gaari at the local industry before because it was sweet and good so she wasnt buying from general market despite that it was far cheaper than the industry one because the quality and taste wasn't good. A market was established in our area recently which is open every wednesday and people bring goods from different nearby towns. My wife now finds another gaari product at this market which is relatively good, now she has stopped buying form the gaari mill industry and buys from this new market. Everyone I know that used to buy from the mill now buys from that market, not because it is cheaper, but mainly because it is as good as the one from the mill and comes at a cheaper price.

If this local rice is good and cheaper, people will leave foreign rice and buy them. It is law of economics, Nigerians dot have that luxury of money to waste on foreign rice when they can find same quality in local rice and at cheaper price.
What will be the common sense for Nigerians to keep buying more expensive foreign rice if the local rice is good and cheaper?

BAZ001:
How sure are you?
I believe insurance covers drivers and riders as soon as u accept a trip ?
Taxify is just trying to scam by asking drivers to pay. If uber is owned by a Nigerian then no hope
My thought oh

Yes, you're right. Just like insurance restored the poor guy who lost his sight to robbers

[quote author=WARUM post=83951114][/quote]Same thing I was telling him. Many are relocating just for the future of their children where the uncertainty in the future will be minimal for the children.
It is not all about money money many of these people think. All these people relocating are doing well in Nigeria already, that's why they can even afford the cost of relocating

BrainBox4N:
APC playing good governance
PDP playing good opposition party.
That's all I just read. Good morning Nigeria.





Promo is On... Check images below

Good governance with all the bad roads in Lagos, high rates of crimes?

I'm not here ssy PDP is better or an angel but saying APC is playing good governance is quite alarming. Maybe your own definition of "good" is different.

mrkings84:
Do u know I didn't really understand what all these border closure and rice smuggling was about until yesterday I went to buy rice and I was told a tin tomato cup is 200# naira....


I was like, Ahhh.... Ah ah......

Things are getting Kore expensive. 12.5kg of gas I filled 2 weeks ago, on Thurs, for 3200 was 3700 when I checked last Thurs again, exactly a week after. I don't know the price now.

That's why you see people smuggling, all these things are pricy in the market, local rice is expensive and you think someone that travels to neighbouring country and sees a foreign rice at far cheaper price won't nurture the thought of smuggling it?

LOL, you people keep encouraging tyranny.
Ban the consumption of rice and place death sentence on anyone eating it?

Nnemuka:
Buhari should just ban the eating of rice in Nigeria
That way anybody caught selling Rice will be sentenced to death.
Nigeria needs to work and rice smugglers are the reason our dear country is in a mess.
say no to rice consumption
so no to smugglers

Useless country

seanwilliam:
i would run bro, money wey be say if u get am self, no rest of mind especially as a young guy, police ,sars, cults oh God.. naija yaff casted

Besides, it takes one useless policy from the govt to ruin a business.

Do you know this border closure is affecting some Nigerians because they can't export to the neighbouring countries? Innocent citizens are paying the price for the inefficient and corrupt custom officers who can't man the borders because of the bribe they take from smugglers? Must we close border against Legit businessmen who import and export because we want to stop smuggling when we have customs?

9ja083:
I understand ur view. My parents were brought up in the village and they are well disciplined.
My parents didn't take me to overseas for me to behave well.
Child upbringing is the responsibility of both parents and not country.
Yes country may contribute but its not a major work of President.
In U.S., children are misbehaving. They have access to gun and have less attention to education. Even when they have great opportunity for it.
In U.K. children use knife to kill at a tender age.
In Nigeria children engage in bad things including cult.
I have seen children that behave well despite been brought up in a poor environment.
Everything depends on the role of the parents.
What kind of idea do u impact on them?
What do u encourage them to do? And how do u do it?
Am not a regret to my parents and i didn't cross the border.
It depends on us PARENTS!

You clearly got me wrong.

This is not about parents, I agree every parent has to play his part to bring up the children in good ways.
But I'm not talking about child upbringing or moral here. I talking about some people relocating because they want a safer environment than what Nigeria offers where their children will not be harassed or killed for having dreadlocks or driving good cars, and also in an environment where their children will have better healthcare and education. Like I said before, the lists go on and on.

There are crimes all over the country, but the rates are different. You can't tell me police extort citizens brazenlymin canada like we experience in Nigeria.
Police won't arrest or intimidate you for driving good cars or having dreadlocks in canada.
Police won't burst into clubs and arrest every young guy there and tag them Yahoo guys.
There are better health care facilities, recently, one guy made FP on nairaland who was said to be former moderator here, the guy died of wrong blood transfusion in LUTH. Another woman narrated last week how her child died at same LUTH because doctor failed to show up since night till following morning till the child died.
There is a better education in Canada.
Better roads
Better light.

And there are better chances that their children won't face much uncertainty in unemployment like in Nigeria when they grow up, there are more opportunities there.
The lists are endless

These are reasons many people are relocating; not because of money. A lot of people relocating to Canada are doing well in Nigeria but they just want a better environment for themselves and children which I think it is reasonable.

So, the talk about investing the money they use to travel on business is lame to many people; they are doing well already in Nigeria but they think they deserve better country than Nigeria.

Even our president has his leave and rest in abroad, has his treatment abroad, his children have their education abroad. Isn't that a testament to the fact that anyone who has the wherewithal to move out of this country should do so?

9ja083:
Instead of spending so much just to travel, it will be better for me to use that money for investment.
Then countries will be looking for u. I applied twice and i didn't get the visa.
Since then i only think of investment in my village, town or city, state and thinking of expanding it in the country.
U don't have money for business right?
but u have money for international flight tro and fro.
U also have money for visa application and for processing fee.
Now put the money together and concentrate with all seriousness in an investment. Allow the business experts to guide you and u be a millionaire.
I wont encourage some1 whose struggling to use such amount to do what?
Next!

Many of you get wrong impression that everyone leaving Nigeria is about money. Some just want a better and a saner environment for their children where their children have more chances to national benefits even than they will in Nigeria, where there kids will not be harassed or killed by SARS for driving good cars or having dreadlocks, where there kids will have access to better health, may I remind you that even Buhari jets out for better treatments. The list goes on and on

Freshprince91:
I can't hold back tears too brother.
Look at what those mobtops did to this fine young man.
I think I'll adopt Tunlapapa's strategy from now on, anything beyond 7pm, i'm calling it a day, irrespective of how much I've made.
Someone once advised on this thread that we should be careful and reject any trip that would take us to Eko bridge /Bariga /Shomolu /Oshodi/ibeju lekki at night unless you live around that area .
May God safe us from us in this country

Add Mile 2 to the list. Reject that area at night. Don't let anyone guilt trip you with"drivers shouldn't cherry pick or cancel trips". It is your car and life at stake here, not uber's. Uber still continues despite this young man's death, no kobo will be paid to the guy's family or owner of the car.

radautoworks:
Try that nonsense of eating in someone's car overseas and see what happens mmchew.

You dare jot even mess up driver's cars there. It is here anything goes.
Just recently, Barkley, a Chelsea player, messed up a driver's car, refused to pay the charge for cleaning of the car, claiming he had no cash, the driver drove him to police and was forced by the police to go and withdraw from AtM and pay the driver.

Here, reverse is the case.

ikezuora4689:
Iwobi fine boy....the dude no suppose leave arsenal......I think his football career is going down the drain.... Everton is not giving him enough playing time...I think he should move to Germany and revive his career like Ginabry

I guess you are watching another EPL. Which Iwobi isn't getting enough playing time in Everton? Same Iwobi that even now plays the No 10 role for them?

ndubuis:
I have been using dual sim Techno phone on uber, a 3G phone. I have never had issues. Dual sim has even been of help to me, there are times, in some places I go to, I don't get network in one sim, I switch to the other sim and keep moving. If I wasn't using dual sim, I may be stuck when one network provider starts fluctuating. The problem you have in Nigeria is poor network. Even if you get a single sim phone, no matter the names they go by, if the network is bad, it would still affect your job. I'm planning to get a 4G phone soon, possibly dual sim too. Network is always the issue in Nigeria, not the phone. Any 3G phone with good GPS is okay.

So the single sim phone is just a myth created by these platforms? Sounds reasonable because no connection between dual sim and phone's GPS. RAM and network are more important.

Crvrider:
In as much as you are in charge of the steering wheel also be in charge of your ac knob. If the car gets too cold for comfort you do not need the permission of any rider to occasionally regulate the temperature of the car by turning the ac on and off.

The other day I was driving home from work, I didn't even put the thing on high, as I stop to buy fuel nobody give me brain as I won freeze die. I just quietly off the ac.

The rider will alight when they get to their destination, but you, you are likely to get another request which means you're in it almost all day.

Enjoyment is eating a good and well prepared meal. Enjoyment no be to blow ac die.

We just love abusing things. You will see people obviously feeling cold under AC with turtle neck or suit but still putting the AC high. Isn't it supposed to condition the weather? Must it be to the extent of shivering?

You know say women get wahala.

Ha!!
Didn't think it that way ooo

MrDraey:
Thank you bro....

I was able to secure the deal this afternoon, car is in my position now and owner gave me till January to start remitting, meaning I have now till December to test waters.

Thanks for the encouragement

Wow!! what a good deal you've got. Guess the owner is a known person to you.

Lucky you.

Congrats and good luck bro.

Pashim:

Am spending like 4- 5 hrs max. So you will need to wait and bring me back. We can negotiate offline. I go even give you refreshment join.

Occupant is a family of 4. Watsapp me lets negotiate. 08065510059.

You didn't state time bro

teeebest:
Elders, I hail o. As a newbie, please how does public holidays(e.g tomorrow's) affect ehailing? I am curious make I no go waste fuel tomorrow lol. Thanks

Bro, hit road, you can't possibly be at loss. Napep people dey work, molue go work, so why should it affect ehailing? People still gat move for this Lagos.

francofoks:
Thanks my oga. I asked because I saw it on taxify(bolt) site that hatchback vehicle is not acceptable but I also heard some people are using it, reasons for my confusion... Make I nor go buy wetin dem go reject.

Legends have given their verdicts to fire on bro.

MrDraey:
thanks for the advice. The actual reason for considering that is cos I have been on this job for 4years as an outsourced staff(hope you understand) and I leave home 5am, come back 9pm most times.

More so, I feel quitting will allow me focus on other things while doing the e-hailing business.

Can you pay the monthly 100k with your current job? I advise you start with the weekend drive to get accustomed to the biz since work days might be impossible for you.
Once your get your ways around the biz and you feel it will bring you more money than your current job, you may quit and face this hustle squarely.

There is no limit to what you can achieve with the job if you put your mind in it. Always learn from positives here; recently we read a story of a man who got deported from UK and within a year with this job, paid for his MBA in Italy and had savings.

So, in essence, if after you test your ways around ehailing and you are cool with it and the income prospects, please don't be afraid to quit. After all a bro here quit his job with construction coy and now a full time driver, though 'village people' initially tested him, but baba don win. But if you think you have a future and passion for your current job, stick with it.

Na money we all dey find

Good luck dear bro

You may not have time to drive except on weekend.

If you have your own car and the outsourced job is paying peanut, don't be afraid to quit.
