150k without 25 percent, without fake alerts, without queue to buy fuel, without olosho trying to rubbish, without lastman harassment... But all in all if you can do 199k during winter then you can do 399k during surge....

Yes. 150k is the minimum salary I can accept, which always comes with other benefits that bolt/uber do not offer.

Also. The working hours are often 8am to -6pm. Overtime will be paid for.

In the past:
While I work at Bank, managing its facilities... I do bolt/Uber by make atleast 4k in the morning sometimes more when going to work and 6k in the evening when return from work.

So I often gross 50k weekdays and work full time sat and Sunday to gross 40k weekends. Ie ie 90k gross weekly

I live on the mainland while my office was on the island then.
If I work on the mainland the case my be different, I might earn less on bolt/uber.

I think I'm paying close to 26% commission or more.
The car consumption rate is 30% when I buy 250/ltr and20% - 25% when I buy fuel @170/ltr.

In short:
More than half 55% in total of our earning is going to expenses

Therfore, our of the 199k you saw, I probably saw between 80k -92k. And still had to get 2 toks tyres for 15k each ie 30k for the 2 tyres.

My car key broke on the door while at jara mall ikeja around 7:35pm. I had to leave overnight.

Spent extra 13k to remove kept and make 2 spares.
Spent 37k when my the spider alxe shaft of the passenger side damaged and disconnected from gear. I had to tow it off lekki phase 2 express and beg a filling station to let it sleep overnight.

Fixed it the next morning and kick of work again.

To be honest. We might see huge figure earned. But I barely keep up to half of the net profit money earned. It all went back to the car.

Let's imagine, I also have to remit. What will I drop when I had spend all on car repairs, commission and fuel

When we use the world the system and people in government? It get me skeptical. These people did they just get to power or did we vote them into office? Who is government? Who are the leaders of tomorrow? All the activist that once fought for the people and clinch power, what did they do differently?

If care is not taken the next sets of political leaders will be worst. Do you know the number of fraudsters going into politics today? How do you tell someone that made name, money in an ill gotten manner and dabbles into politics that politics money is not that free. On the second tought, is the money not a free one? How much are these folks running for president spend today? Learnt they may spend close to 50b. Please on who's account? Atiku has been running since 1993 and you think if he eventually wins, he won't recover lost funds.

Back to people paying millions for school. I think we should learn not to generalise things. No gain saying we are at the brink of madness in this country. Our minimum wage is nothing to write home about. Those paying millions for school, where are they getting it from? We have too many ill gotten and dubious wealth in the society and nobody cares. Check everyone around you living big, 80% of them; you barely know what they do for a living. Can someone getting 400k a month send someone to a school where millions is been paid? To rent mini flat today, you will need a salary of 500k to be able to service that. Do we put that on government too?

On not buying local products... rice is not the only food will have, if our government want a good rice, they should know what it takes to produce a good fine rice. We have other food we can key into and they come cheap. We used to export cocoa, what went wrong? We have other mineral resources. An average Nigerian takes pleasure in buga and oppression. That is how we are wired, including me. I don't think I have anything made in Nigeria. From wine, to clothes to watches... nah confirm grin go to Benin and see the way those people rock their Ankara. Our culture is already eroded. Even ordinary bricklayers, we prefer Togolese and Ghanaian to our people. This get rich and ostentatious lifestyle has eaten us deep! deep!! You can't get an ordinary electrician again, they are all driving on Bolt platform now or into scamming grin

Boss, I think we all share this blame... the government is the people and the people the government.

Well...u have a point but people in government have to be held accountable. when I say the system, I mean having a water tight system and an independent system such that even if it's the devil that becomes president, he either does the right things or we kick him out.
Terrorists went to free their brothers and no one resigned, no one was fired.
People are being killed in d NW, NE, NC, South East on a daily basis, sometimes we see videos of their operation in broad day light and no one is made to account for the sloppiness of our security agencies.
How can fraudulent people gain access to positions in government when we have DSS who is supposed to screen people in public office. How will somebody come into office and steal when we have Accountant General, Auditor General, EFCC, ICPC, etc. So u see everything u mentioning has a check if the institutions where working fine.

Don't try to police individual lives...let people make money however they like, if they go against the law, d law is supposed to catch up with them.
People get loans to travel out and they work and pay back, or get scholarships that reduces their tuition or deferred payment such that they pay their fees after they graduate and start working.
If people are doing 419, in a working system they better stay out of public eye, cos the day u say u want to contest for anything u will explain how u got all those monies and declare ur asset. So somehow rich people of questionable character don't try to contest for public office. Example is Donald Trump. See how they dissected every penny he earned?

Now I just used rice as one example of why people just buy the most convenient and valuable things not necessarily that they are looking for foreign goods. Like the cocoa u mentioned, have u tried to do any export business in Nigeria? It is d export process and fees that u will pay that will discourage u. What kind of country that wants it's economy to boom will stiffle d few people trying to do things to earn a living? How will people not go into fraud and deciet. See eh...sometimes when I talk about Nigeria, I get very angry in my spirit. NNPC will sell crude and not credit fed govt, Customs will collect fees and remit only 10%, CBN will make money and spend it as they like, FIRS will generate money and give what they like to FG. Then FG will borrow money year in year out to run the budget. National assembly (less than 1500 people) will seat and allocate almost 20% of the budget to themselves. Enjoy office for 4years and recieve severance package in hundreds of millions while civil servants will suffer for 35years and will beg to collect the contributory pension they did.
If governance was work well, Nigeria has no business borrowing. Do u know that as little as airport toll gate N200 and airport parking N700 naira amounts to millions daily which is supposed to go into government coffers, but it's FAAN directors and MD that are sharing that one. Do u know how much NPA generates? Omo X100 make we no dissect. When some people say the country is a Zoo...u better think about it.
But one candidate has given us hope that when he comes in things will change. He has a history of stopping theft and waste, he is without corruption allegation and he has said it is POssible to put back Nigeria on a winning trajectory. That is the hope of well meaning Nigerians. We can't be complaining and still be doing old things, that will be madness. It is foolishness to do the same things over and over and expect a different result.

Good day sir and Ma

I need your expertise on this.

My in-law uses Nissan Rogue 2014 model. Before he travelled he topped the CVT gear oil with abor oil.

When he starred the suv to go out. The vehicle refuse to drive or reverse.

We called a nearby mechanic and all he said was the gear is bad without even checking anything.

Don't mind them. A 150k job is still far better than a 300k in ehailing bearing in mind all expenses and trouble that goes into the later. But the snake Pearl1910 and the bandit will never agree.

I will rather say A 150k net of expense job (Tax and transport) is more better than a 300k net of commission (commission only, and assuming that's the person fixed monthly earning ) e-hailing. Even at that it's still arguable.

E-hailing earning can be limited so fast by a bad car and a paid job has its own downside as well.

But then remember on e-hailing earning is flexible and you can earn more than the above, if you can do the work, but salary is mostly fixed and mostly rigid and can be easily affected by economic realities.

Salary hardly adjust to current economic challenges, often but mostly, earning on e-hailing reflect current economic challenges (introduction of Price surge)

That side don't have too much traffics, only after eleko you will start experiencing traffics, but like the time Jonathan visited baba will fly to that place with jet of course security will be stationed everywhere even in the bushes like they did during Jonathan's visit.

No I don't think it's the refinery road, this one is just straight from lekki epe expressway to eleko junction then continue like you're going to epe you'll see the paved road.
