Is not easy bro... I am currently on 30k job honestly. So many times, I feel so weak n depressed. Lagos 4 that matter. Just the little change I do get when I go for outside work that is helping me a bit. I have met with people I know through my work but they are not willing to help. Just like that.

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.
three options

* Buy old Keke and replace the engine with a new one
* Buy old Keke and change the crank shaft , engine block and top cylinder

*Make sure say the Keke no dey short oil (Na the only problem when Keke get be that)

* Check the chaisis ,make sure say no part of the chaisis break

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
cement dey spoil Keke oh

Go for a new Keke if you can afford it. If u can't, look for someone to get the money from and add to the one u have at hand and buy new Keke.

Within 3 months or less, u would have paid the borrowed money and have some change.

Learn to save also, no matter how little. Carry out a study in your area to determine the best route to ply.

Best of luck

It's a good idea. But I will advice you to get a new keke. If you get an old Keke, you will later spend much money on it, which may not allow you to save much.
It's well!!!

Good idea , with keke if you are serious you be making no less than 5 to 4k daily it's better than that hard labour in Chinese cement company of yours , no buy old Keke ooooo , brand new Keke will serve you better, old Keke might even knock engine be giving you issues every day , it will frustrate you , go for new one , tear rubber.

Op I think this advice is worth heeding and mature too. As for me, I have never been into the business but I am interested in transportation. Pray about it too and let God lead you.
tosintoks:
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.

I have taken time to go through your post and all the comments. If you are in Port Harcourt, I will suggests that rather than using the money you intend to used for old keke, if you can make same available, I can buy you new TVS or Paggio keke on hire purchase.

With the upfront part payment, it won't take long for you to complete the hire purchase payment. However, it is important to point out that you must make available two guarantors.

bros keke work is not easy like that especially second hand if u can't afford new one thing of another business
Re: I Want To Quit My N2k Job Per Day To Start Riding Keke by Nobody: 8:45pm On Jul 04, 2022
Don't buy old Keke displayed on the shop. While still at your present job, be on the lookout for someone that wants to sell his Keke off. Just make sure the money is always ready, because sometimes someone tired of the business might just decide to sell of his clean Keke cheaply

How much is new tvs keke,i heard in ph the principal add up to 50% on top of the amount they bought it,that's slavery,by the time they finish paying the full amount,the keke has depreciated to zero value.

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.
