Keke is lucrative plus you have time for yourself to try other things as you sound educated. Good luck �

Buy new one with money you have by paying in installment. Look for keke distributors that allow for such, and YES there are! Buying old one is likely going to give you issues.

Hi everyone, I have been working for this chinese construction company for more than 2yrs now.

Initially I was employed as a quality control engineer to oversee concrete testing, deflection test, compaction test and many more, but after like three months of taking the role, I was been converted to a full time labourer in the company because they refused to employed more labourers and they don't pay attention to quality.

Since then I have been suffering like a mad man ( doing hard labor) in the company, working from 7am - 5:30 PM everyday earning 2k/day. I am planning of quitting the job to buy an old keke.

Please how is keke business? Will I be making upto 5k daily if I apply the same energy I used in working for chinese.? And buying an old keke, is it a good idea?
would it cause me to make friends with mechanics?

Please if you have done keke business share your experience.

Really cool, let me just add a spice to your idea.
Use the old keke for haulage.
U can attach yourself to a cement retailer that does good business and be doing her deliveries.
Delivery per bag is #100 to #150 and if you manage deliver 100bags daily, better you do the maths.
Inaddition to the monetary benefits, your old keke will last you as you are not stressing it running up and down looking for commuters. All you do is wait, take orders and deliver. After expenses you should be OK.
If you are prudent enough, In 1 year you can buy a fairly used truck and upgrade your business.
My keke delivery man now lives in his own built house courtesy of the business.
I wish you God speed

By the way, you even earn more a month (60k), in your former work, than the vulture griller (30k) receives from his masters. Please link him up to your previous Chinese job. Maybe he would know the essence of receiving 'genuine' money he worked hard for.

A bird in hand is worth 2 in the bush.

The grass is not greener on the other side.

Young man, I know the job might be difficult, but please stick with it for now. Then use your spare time to learn a skill or a vocation. Or alternately, get the Keke and then drive it after work and during the weekends, this way you earn both from your job and from your Keke side business.

If you abandon the job and jump with both legs into being a tricycle operator, what will you do if you wake up one day and discover your state govt (I'm assuming Lagos) has banned Keke operators (it might sound unlikely but it's very possible). What will you do if (God forbid) the Keke gets damaged in your very first week (I might seem unduly pessimistic, but one must always plan and prepare for possible negative outcomes even if one hopes they don't come to pass).

So pls stick with the job, and either learn a skill on the side or ride the Keke on the side ( evenings and weekends). If you go with the 2nd option, then once you've saved the equivalent of at least 6 months of your salary, then you can leave that job, knowing that you have ample financial reserves you can fall back on incase of any unforeseen occurrence (may God forbid such, but once again, one has to be prepared).

Disregard most of the people here telling you to leave the job outright. A lot of them are kids who have never suffered in their life and who are still living with their parents.

Na very good decision bro but except you are restricted by funds, don't go for old keke. I'd suggest you buy a new engine and fit it into a used body. As you go on, you can improve the cosmetics.

Like how much is a new engine, please?

Brand new Keke cost 1.2 million naira, do u have that kind of capital?

Omihanifa:
You want to buy old keke shocked
If you try it, you will burn your hands. Nah mechanic house you go dey sleep and wake up.

Save money and buy brand new Okada or Keke instead. At least it will serve you for a long time unlike used ones.

The 2k/day job is obviously not sustainable. Keke is very good, but it is better if you can get a brand new one. It sells for around 1.3 million naira now. I have a friend who does keke riding in Ibadan and he earns about 8k per day after all expenses

Like I said, most of you are kids. At least learn how to use punctuation properly when writing in a public forum.

And you'll notice if you took the time to read properly (which I doubt, going from the semi-literate nonsense you threw out above) that I said after work or during the weekend

It's a good plan. However, don't go for a used Keke. You would regret it. I am a living witness. I bought a used Keke and it nearly gave me high blood pressure. You would work today and spend your earnings on repairs the next day. Save enough for a new Keke and have peace of mind.

Keke is a good transport business.. Take your time and get good deals! Nigeria government allow these foreigners do what they like imagine visitor treating the citizens anyhow, mostly these Chinese opening factories and construction site a friend died at site � nothing is done on that case till today � �some have lost arm, eyes working with these Chinese people of which Chinese government will never tolerate such against their citizens. Nigeria anything goes!

Simple advice:

Old Keke go make you talk Waka oo... cheesy cheesy

Be careful.... Make sure you locate a strong and sound old Keke.

Alternatively... Since your cash is limited for now,

If you know anyone, a Cooperative or any Bank that do give out Keke for "Balance and Take" then :

Carry that your Half Keke money and look for a guarantor...

Go to those cooperative or microfinance bank that are giving out Brand New Keke to people that are serious for Hustle.

Collect a Brand New Keke with a half down payment. (The money you are to Balance would look High initially but with a New Keke and a serious hustling spirit, you go smile las las)

You stand a better chance to quickly "Balance and Take" your Keke.

It is better you Start the Transport business journey with a New Keke.

So that you nor go begin Catch Witch and Talk Waka with an Old Keke.
. Good idea most people can't work. New keke is better than old one. I finished grom futa, i collected keke installments, i paid it, i have established my own farm with it
