Makes sense, he should learn a skill like carpentry, welding, painting etc

Oh yeah, I just remembered that driving is also a skill

dapotemi:
You have said it many times that to make reasonable money you MUST drive for long hour..another one is mentoring people to drive from 5am to 4am but they are SILENT on what that will do to your HEALTH, FAMILY, RELATIONSHIP, GOALS etc....
I purposely included Family in my post yesterday, to show you that they need you and you need them.My family relationship suffers the most when I drove full time. Most of you have lost relationship, who amongst you can attend a wedding on Saturday, when surge full everywhere....the young man that's using my car never attend church for months, he has a wife and kid. This is the story of many of you but lies from hell won't make you admit..Dey play..abi, who go go sit down for church when surge full everywhere.
You see, query at work is part of the job, we dey get am and we dey answer am, we dey also give others query too. If I continue to put in the hardwork , would aim for CFO in a couple of years. If this thread still dey, what do you think the discussion will be? I no get tire, fuel cost, lastma catch me etc. Wouldn't you prefer that than the daily exposure to the shenanigans of Lagos olosho from Radisson to Marriott, to presken to fourpoint, opening boot like 50 times a day!What has happen to your mental health?

Person leave home by 5 yesterday and got home 8pm after 15 hours, because his oga went home early. Else, he for reach house late. The only reason he even grossed 22k that he's showing off na because oga comot by 3.

Therefore on a normal day,

1. he doesn't get home by 8
2. If he gets home by 8 he doesn't gross 22k everyday he goes to answer oga sir for office.

Same yesterday, my first trip was 10:30am. My last trip was 10:56pm. After 12hrs and 30 mins

But somehow, na who use 15hrs work dey lecture una on mental health and una dey listen? Someone I sleep better than?

Okay. Make una analyze this one. If I gross 45k in less than 13hrs. How much do you think I can gross from 5am to 8pm, a range of 15hrs?

Full-time driver has more time to himself than you do, and grossed more than you do. Your salary inclusive.

Make una dey listen to their rubbish ehn... Dey play.

Nah oga pope, I actually did that to give a reply to Omoapena because of what he posted...I felt a little bit unease reading that. You cannot do the same thing over and over again and expect a diff result..in my response, I posted a screenshot which, personally I never wanted to do....
Now to you, if what am doing works for me, I will continue to LET YOU KNOW ABOUT IT! I strongly believe it is what this thread is meant for. I am still in the Hussle, atleast I have done one trip today and I still have a vehicle on rental. I am only asking Omoapena and others like him to do it in another way!
Bros, I have been a FULL TIME DRIVER and a part-time driver/salary, I have tasted both and l believe one is better, and from my experience I will continue to share knowledge on the one I know to be better...No be everytime, e dey sweet, e dey sweet as pearl dey always bobo una, e hard die and there is another way!

Gentlelife50:
Lol, learning from the masters.

Conner44:
Well at least the UK once advertised . . . I just wanted IFSHR have that at the back of his mind for future reference

Now i also understood what dapo said perfectly. I just wanted to also point out that he can't use his own personal situation to mirror others here. We are all different individuals from different backgrounds trying to make ends meet one way or the other.

Many people who carry phones and log into nairaland daily aren't graduates like him or even have the time of day to open new books to read up trying to learn new skills on the fly. Some are also having some psychological issues that could hamper their cognitive ability to read, comprehend and assimilate written directions properly.

Take for instance omoapena. We all know he has a hp contract on his neck and has been coming to this thread weekly making cryptic posts that show he's struggling with his chosen hustle. Remember that unlike dapo the vehicle isn't his yet, also maybe he's married with wife(ves) and kids to feed, rent, medical and inflated fees to pay etc, now tell me what time he can carve out of his already tight daily schedule to learn a new skill without affecting his ability to cater for him and his families daily well being and also remit his weekly contractual stipend towards the hp agreement he currently has on his neck? I feel for him that's why anytime he cries I always reply even if he dismisses my help. I know he has a bird in hand but others want him to drop it and dive headfirst into the bush in search of more. I want him to master this hustle so he can pay off his hp agreement and move onto it her things ASAP.

I also attempted learning data analysis as omoapena is planning to do. I joined up with a class that was advertised here on this same thread a while ago. I went three-quarters of the way but had to drop off because it clashed with many things I had going on at the time. The knowledge is still there but I don't have it completely. It wasn't easy at all to learn it to the point I reached before life paused my education in that aspect. Will I learn further? Yes of course, but I will need time and calm to face it squarely to achieve perfection. Someday soon I hope.

I am a man that likes to try my hands at numerous businesses as far I have the capital and ability to control its dynamics. Yes I still have a desk job but I also import and trade goods, render specialized services which I charge for and create employment opportunities for people when I can. Unlike my dad, i will not work at my desk until my retirement age no matter the pay I receive. That life won't be mine. Stanbic pensions still pays me but how much? I see their alerts and emails and smile. It's nothing compared to what my friends earn daily running their own businesses. I go to the market and visit a friend and have to wait for his accounts manager to finish a meeting with him before I can go into his office to say hi. He never worked for anyone in his life except when he understudied his business. He is a simple trader. Buying and selling. I want to become like him real soon by the grace of God.

So izzou all I'm trying to day is that when nairaland first began, everything was centered at a place and people plus information was thrown everywhere. Thankfully seun in his wisdom decided to carve out sections and threads for specific knowledge to be gained. This thread here is for those who want to perfect their skills in ehailing in lagos . . . I am pleading for those who have other things going for them to at least allow people like omoapena and other uneducated peeps to achieve the aim of this thread before forcing them out of the nest while they haven't perfectly learnt how to fly.

There are sections for learning programming, agriculture, phone repairs, sales etc. rigjtvhere on nairaland. So why can't we allow this thread and its knowledge breathe for the sakes of those here and the ones to come

If you see someone doing something better than you please ask questions and seek understanding. Don't fight against it. Nobody know everything not even Einstein did.

Abeg my desk don full make I face my work before m6 bald headed oga catch me on phone I will still piss on his head I'm just watching for when rain is also falling so he won't pinpoint the source of his warm forehead when it happens

pope191:
As much as I agree to your points, I’ll still say they are relative cases. Let’s assume we are just hearing each other out and pray for the best towards one another. I am saying it again, I am not proud of driving, but right now it is giving me peace of mind I long for. General is talking bout dollars lately, I’ve been doing that shit when dollars was 400 and something. Friends and family hardly get naira to share or carry out project. They send thro sendwave, I credit their account. I honestly don’t like bringing private life to public and this will be my last. I only drive 4 or 5 days a week and I do attend events if need be. Just got back from Asaba from a wedding as groomsmen and you should know what that means. I have 2 wedding on the line and still part of groomsmen for one.

My church does 2 Service, I can attend 7am to 9pm and still make something good on Sunday. I used to attend digging deep on Tuesday. After Covid just change my view about religion and pastors. So if you are longing for CFO, good one, but I’ve you heard of company pack up? Including the CFO? Boss we don see life, stories plenty, but GentleLife and Tojahh they hold my hands. In all fight for your head, make sure you are progressing, understand your war and fight it well to the point of you turn out a happy man.

Musician them they sleep now. From Nov to Dec they will make what one won’t make in 5 years. Nah where on person stop another person start.

Bros, one of the BIGGEST mistake of my life was post secondary sch... Took me about 3 yrs before I could get admission, all because I wanted to go to Unilag and they gave a course I don't want...All in all, 3 years Waka...Now what was I doing within that 3 years? I got a cleaning job with a company in surulere, salary was 5k, transport taken care of, fairly okay. In my dept, we do floor/tiles polishing and that was the job that took me to nearly all the embassies at Walter Carrington....My regret? I should have used that period to learn valuable skills, any of what you mentioned above or something else.
Just maybe, my life could have been better....
A friend of mine, grew up on the street together, learnt some furniture/cabinet/upholstery work within that period, later went to Lasu. He graduated about 5 years after myself and he reached out for a job. I helped him get a placement where I worked. He was with us for 3 years but always complaining about money, about not finding joy...Later he left and went back to his furniture business, started small..Through goodwill he was getting all furniture work from the company and alot of referrals..Up till now, if I jam the guy invoice like this, fear dey catch me, he gave me 500k when I had my baby earlier this year, no other gift came close.
Bros, if I had jump into Uber driving then, assuming there was, I would probably still regret it!!!

Person leave home by 5 yesterday and got home 8pm after 15 hours, because his oga went home early. Else, he for reach house late. The only reason he even grossed 22k that he's showing off na because oga comot by 3.

Therefore on a normal day,

1. he doesn't get home by 8
2. If he gets home by 8 he doesn't gross 22k everyday he goes to answer oga sir for office.

Same yesterday, my first trip was 10:30am. My last trip was 10:56pm. After 12hrs and 30 mins

But somehow, na who use 15hrs work dey lecture una on mental health and una dey listen? Someone I sleep better than?

Okay. Make una analyze this one. If I gross 45k in less than 13hrs. How much do you think I can gross from 5am to 8pm, a range of 15hrs?
