Does anyone here have a car maintenance budget strategy with these driver apps?

I was thinking that maybe I'd put away 1k per day for car troubles, but as it is now ehn, the way my car is vibrating and doing gbakabi ka ka, shreeeeeeeen, bugun, ka ka ka , click click click kk kk kk... I don't even know anymore

It feels like everything on the car needs to be changed, from shocks to compressor to alternator to shaft (click click click).

It is almost like I am driving a danfo

I was just sad going back home, but tomorrow is a new day by Gods grace and I need a plan.

Do you guys put money aside per day for car repair?

northbird:
First off, Income tax rate is not 40%, also tax rate in US is not a blanket screen across all income bands. It depends on how much you earn, so if you earn higher bands of six figures, you will pay a higher tax rate than someone who earns within the 55-66k bracket.

The people leaving Nigeria most times left their good /comfortable jobs in multinationals to Japaa. That means it's not the money factor alone that's causing this exodus, they foresee things that an average Nigerian is oblivious to.

In Canada for instance, Healthcare is free for all Canadian citizens and residents. Plus a chance for your children to get world class education.... They won't view issues through cultural /religious prisms again.

Let's be honest, look at Lagos, look at the city, the way Lagos has been rowdy, congested, no effective public transport system,corrupt and over entitled civil servants, since year 2000, look at it @ 2022, 22 years after, do you think things will really improve? Have you observed any appreciable difference in the city.

Now let's look at Nigeria at a Macro level. and the level of leadership we have.

Most people leaving with their families are doing it for the children....

eyinola:
but this is a very good price na ,oh the Awoyaya dey deceive u Awoyaya primary school is at Aboyade cole in VI ,bolt won't even charge more than 1K....u can see it's just 8 mins to destination

Pearl1910:
I been wan tell am but I no wan put mouth for any post wey concern Pope again. The school is just beside Mobil HQ. On Bolt that's like N700-800

dru23:
UK is even worse for japa .. They tax people like crazy there.. Worse than the USA.......people always say Uk guys no dey spend like Yankee guys lol ..... That UK omo their tax no be childs play

Gentlelife50:
Bros it's not only about the pay, what of your sanity?
Does it not matter to you?
Is it not better I live in sane environment where things are working than this shambles?
Do you know some people's annual rent in lekki can set up a small apartment for them in outskirts of Lagos?
But they choose to be tenants rather after counting the costs.
And that's what most people do, go to the embassies, visa offices and passport offices you'll be marveld at the croud there killing themselves to jaa.
Even the government understand what's going on and they have come up with excuses like no paper to print passports and giving people long appointments, even people will prefer to live to countries like Ghana I mean that's how bad it has gotten.

kanuisagoat:
I only used the Okada as an example. People buy things from China and sell for twice or thrice the amount. It can be anything.

If you look at the earlier post by Dru23, you'll pay at least 40% in taxes. That leaves you with 36,000 dollars with high cost of living.

That is not outside of what I can make here in Nigeria.

Felicity001:
Hahaha...I swear... I sell plantain for hit sun, without shoes on my legs
The truth is this bizness is just a mirage and and illusion, the only thing good about it is you can use it to raise instant cash for immidiate and little needs or expenses.

Everyone should get sth one the flip side to add to it.

Ehailing money should be solve financial needs like food stuffs, buy clothes, pay NEPA bill, security bills, do hook ups, drink, et al.

With the level of inflation in the country now, saving money is not even advisable because 100k in your account today would have turned 10k a month after.




To BAZ001 and those of us that has a humble beginning in life I want to say kudos to us all and more grease to elbow... Johnchrix hope you read bazoo1 story so no be only you dey pass through difficult times people are currently going through worse than you can imagine so keep you head high and be courageous.



So back to you Pope, what do you mean in your first paragraph because I don't understand

Cheddaz:
I don't understand all this argument about traveling out or staying in 9ja and hustling. My brother people have been hustling in 9ja doing the real hard work, shebi dem talk say hard work pays but no be for 9ja own. The Economy is zero, SME's are suffering, People are even afraid to invest their money in anything ,nothing works here,our politicians keep putting their fingers in our eye and nothing dey happen. If you have the opportunity to Japa don't think twice o. People that were struggling to
Keep up with family duties don enter Yankee in less than 3 yrs are building their houses and buying cars. Something they could not do with all their hardwork in naija. It might not be IT or what ever but the whole idea is to make money. Nothing sweet like when you are seeing the fruit of your Labour and you don't even have to work yourself to insanity unlike the case of naija

kanuisagoat:
When dru23 mentioned the money, I thought it was monthly till I saw his subsequent posts.

How can I gather 8m and use it to japa just to earn 60k per annum when I can put the money to good use here and live large.

Money wey go buy 25 Okadas and will turn to 14-16m in one year all things being equal.

Anyone who wants to japa should japa. Obviously, it's not for me.

dru23:
I just want to make clear.. I don't issues for anyone japping ..

But he comes here belittles all the hard working drivers. Saying driving is dead head job etc. And he talks about japa etc ..

But he is not enlighten others step that he uses to jappa. He just talks about japa and IT job etc.. But at least give people steps u took and how u save money etc .......

Than he tells us he is in school .. Which is fine, but what part of IT are you studying in school . what are the job market for it . He tells you can make 4x amount doing IT than driving etc .. Which is possible , but at least open up to the audience so that they can prepare themselves....

Also he does not talk about school. How much the school cost etc. ... And me personally I don't know much about IT ..

But I know friends that are making $60k per year doing IT . And I know another person that makes about $24 per hour and does crazy overtime ... This person works about 80 hours or more per week ..... And my programmer friend that makes $150k per year and bonuses ...... And this my guy has only 1 job


I feel he has all these information and he is not willing share. But he wants you to jappa and do IT job ...

Johnchrix:
It's been a while tho but I have to comment on this, this is an excellent pice from an experienced comrade. During my internship I had couple of friends on the island, (millionaire friend) they own house's on on the island (phase 1), when I told them I was doing my internship at mile 2 one almost screamed at me, that's it's was too far..this and that' to me it was a norm, the traffic at orile sometimes u might spend two hours there before you get home you are already exhausted.

What's I'm I trying to say, it's true Living in Lagos alone, have a toll on one's mental health, for the average lagos lagosians, uber drivers and co. A pastor redeem pastor once told me that he do appreciate his driver very often that driving in a kind of place like Lagos...is hell. This man is someone that travel's the world.

Pop191 I think your comments on this will be hard for most of us here to understand and until they have a right hand experience. Driver's are really suffering, tho it can become a normal thing when you are inexposed and not connected to the elite of Lagos. Oga pope191 one can't live in Agege, iyanoba and the few trenches of Lagos and have this your mentality and perception, You are wise.

kanuisagoat:
A lot of owners go about the business the wrong way.

They hear drivers deliver 30k weekly and they start multiplying 30 by 52 weeks and salivating.

They forget the most important part which is learning the ropes. I will not put my one naira in a business I don't understand fully.

dru23:
It is called PTSD


Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a disorder that develops in some people who have experienced a shocking, scary, or dangerous event


The events that he has experience at an early stage in his life is causing it .. And it makes people very bitter ....

We have all experience it at a stage in our life knowing and unknowing ... We all have trauma at a stage in our life..

It is how we deal and cope with it that matters. I think his own copping skills is by venting online and talking about it indirectly.......

It is normal and nothing to be ashame of it ... Nigeria will do that to u ..

kanuisagoat:
Only a foolish car owner will allow this. There's is a maximum number of miles I expect you to drive in a month. If you exceed it consistently, I withdraw my car.

Pearl1910:
You are Valid Dru...shebi that's the same thing he and the other guy do continuously on this thread na their policy...just yesterday they said I only portray the good side of job.
Pope says I am a liar, I wonder how many people he has verified on this thread but na my side the underachiever they get mouth.

Bazoo...answer the questions abeg and also tell us how easy it is to travel, and survive abroad o. Not just quoting X4 what Uber guys make weekly and please show receipts.
I get people wey wan travel out.

BAZ001:
Okay I get your point now
Abroad no easy ooh,
Abroad no easy Dru23 no gree come back easy Lagos
Abroad no easy politicians and rich Nigerians send their children abroad ( to suffer abroad right )
Abroad no easy MC oluomo send him children abroad

Abeg how many of this rich Nigerians don buy car for their children to do Uber
Since you can earn 150k week in week out driving Uber ?

Una pearl Uber is sweet
