Work hard bro.. Stay focus....

Gudvibes06:
Sir pls how can I contact you privately ?

Pearl1910:


Are u really sure this is easier?
Saving 5k daily and still paying ur rent culminates to about 60k weekly commitment don't forget that.
10months and u have saved 1.2 million. That's very good but let's face it, how many people can pay 60k every week for 10months continuously, dedicatedly? And still settle current needs?? Apart from discipline, the money may not be realised every week.

On d other hand, d person on HP is midway gone his payments of 30k weekly. Yes, his car will be naija used and so is the car the rental guy will be buying.

Like I said, what guarantees do u have that in 10months time, ur target car will remain d same price as when u started the rental? None.

Pearl1910:


Bolded is not correct. Do ur calculations well.

pleasureosondu:

Everything you guys(Yourself and Mr CheerfulGiver) have said is the truth. Let me briefly give my experience in regards to rental.

A "friend" provided the first car I drove on bolt. We had a verbal agreement- weekly remittal was 15k but I take care of all repairs. And whenever I took the car for repairs, I don't remit. So I started work. After being on the job for some weeks, I noticed that it paid better than the profits from my other business but in tandem with salary, so I decided to buy my own car. But before I'll do that, I opted for upgrading my friend's car because I noticed that other drivers with upgraded cars had more offline jobs.

I bought leather seat cover, headrest TV and changed foot mats. Note that he's mechanic was in charge of repairs. So one day, he called asking why I added those features to the Corolla and I told him that I just wanted to stand out from the regular cars. Dude didn't say anything. Some weeks later, he called pleading that I should help him provide the Car's spare tire to the wife ( she had a flat tire while driving home). Well that was the first time she saw the car in months. Now, just two weeks later, my pady called and complained that the 15k remittal was peanuts. He wants 30k. I said that this was only possible in Lagos ( I live in the FCT). After much back and forth, we agreed on 20k( note that he hasn't asked to see the car).

Well, unfortunately for me, I had bought alloy wheels( a fatal decision as you would see later). As usual, my friend's auto tech fixed it up and he keeps the damaged/replaced item for my friend(owner). Just two days later, owner called complaining bitterly about the adjustments to the car. Amongst all he said, the statement he made which stuck in my mind was " Abi, you wan take style collect the car from me?" Let me not say how hurtful I felt regarding that statement. I drove for some days but I wasn't myself.

After much deep thought and consideration, I decided to return the car without taking as much as a pin out of it. My exact words amongst others were " this one when you talk say I wan collect your car, I know say you and your wife Don talk about the matter. And if anything happen to you, your family go come say na me kill you. You and me Don know tye tye. Me and you no how we take hustle before we fit reach were we dey so but for you to talk dis kain......."

He did call severally but I just ignored. That experience made me more determined and I got my own car some month's later( I'm even trying to get another one). But do you know that I was told later that it was the wife's brother that started using the car?

At times, I blame myself that I invested too much on a car that wasn't mine but I had a purpose for it. Personally, I believe that if you want to make more money, you will need to spend money. I had plans and Good intentions for the car too but people will always be people. So, Your advice and that of Mr CheerfulGiver are top notch.

davit:
Bro I tire o. The idiot refused to wait for traffic light. I didn't even see him at all. Before I parked to check, he has zoomed off. Kinda downcast now

pleasureosondu:
My brother, all you said is true. Whether it's HP or rental, drivers are at loss and That's why I've always emphasized the need for each individual to determine what's best for you and the job. The experiences we provide is for people learn from the mistakes.


I don't know much about psychology of riders in Lagos but here in the FCT, believe me when I say if your car isn't the Corollas and Camrys of 2006-2012 and it's has unique features, the majority of your rides will be completed largely offline. In fact, riders book you and I'm sure you know what it means. Corollas and Camrys have little or no respect to riders except you do an upgrade. Moreover, the upgrades are benefits for the owners.

There are details I didn't provide here but be rest assured that my friend had no intention of creating problems. Be honest Mr Pearl, if you have a driver that pro-actively maintains your car properly, tells you that he would undertake a large chunk from the cost of an upgrade of your car, pays your remittance when due, will you take that car away from him? If you will, well I won't. It's difficult to get selfless drivers like that. Do you know that he had to sell that car because his brother- in -law nearly rendered it useless?

And I have no regrets. I believe that if you do good even in bad situations, good must find you later. The wife pressured the husband to retrieve the car but today, na my second car I wan buy. At times, na owners dey make drivers wicked.

An average hard working man living in Nigeria is 10x more hard working than a Nigeria in diaspora.

Stop talking down on those living In Nigeria bro, the limitations, lack of opportunities, bad government, insecurity, lack of health insurance, contract jobs and a lot more they contend with is enough hard work alone. Swap position with that same man and see the speed he passes you with in little or no time and see how you struggle to even make a kobo.

That you're privilege doesn't make the next man less human, learn to be humble bro.

BAZ001:


Pls how do you guys do this ?
Send people out of your car, once you seated I can’t or don’t know how to tell an adult get down from my car.

Yesterday I was abused by one yellow owambe sisi eko, I sensed it from phone conversation but it was 1.8 surge and couldn’t resist the temptation.
Rider: where are you ? (No greeting)
Me: I’m at (she cuts)
Rider: you say you arrived but not here
Me: I’m at Campbell street st nicholas (raising my voice too )
Rider: No ooh, not St Nicholas. I’m at cambell event hall, ask people around pls.
Me: (dis na troublemaker) just cancel
Rider: (called again ) come to 3rd floor
Got to third floor car pack, she kept calling all this while but didn’t pick.
Me: (picked ) I’m in 3rd floor
Rider: shouted I said 4 not 3rd, 4th floor, 4 ooh
Me: ( my spirit telling me to jappa and cancel, but surge won’t allow me listen )
Picked her...
Rider: wear your mask oooh
Me: (looked at her so she would see my mask is on)
Rider: be fast ohh ( then she started spraying disinfectant in the car speaking both English and Yoruba, wanted to ask what she was spraying and without permission)
Me: ( just dumb and numb, who sent me)
We made several stops but I just held me cool.
We stopped to tie gele, stopped to withdraw money. In all the stops, she was commanding me with attitude as if I was her driver and she owns me and the car.
I was sure of giving her 1star cause I don’t want to ever meet her again but mistakenly or unconsciously I gave her 5star, pained me.

But how do you look at an adult and say pls come down from my car ?
I could have parked and say pls I no go again, but don’t think I have it in me right now.

Omo, I park make I piss oh. I no dey carry passengers for road normally

They have hardened Agberos here.

If you don't settle them their agreed fare after loading, and you try to escape, they would spoil your door handle.

I witnessed one with a Tokunboh car. I'm sure the driver would tell the owner that it was damaged from the port

Pearl1910:


Life, If the landlord is nasty, I go comot all fancy switches, chandelier and put what I met. But if nice and understanding I can even put tiles and pop without collecting balance.

But before I do any improvement, I still need permission from landlord. Because when I leave he will be responsible for the maintainance of that improvement. Or if it is to be removed it might damage his structure.

That's my own perspective.
