Thanks so much, boss. I really appreciate! The bolded part — I will start practicing very well with google map as suggested even here in Ibadan before I finally relocate. I know Ibadan roads very well but I will be practicing the google map when I get my car.

Please, where do you suggest I can rent apartment in Lagos? This question might be funny but it’s necessary cos I don’t really know Lagos and I don’t want to relate with my cousins there. Please, kindly suggest areas with affordable prices and peace of mind.

Thanks again, boss! 🙏

God day, bosses. I have 7m and am planning to buy a corolla and start UBER but I want some answers to things that are bothering my mind.

1. I live in Ibadan and I wish to relocate to Lagos but I’ve not driven in Lagos before and not familiar with Lagos roads — CAN I USE GPS WITHOUT ISSUES?

2. I plan to be working from 8am to 4pm daily — after deductions and fuel, is it guaranteed that I will still have 20k daily?

Please, help me cos I really want to buy the car next week and start planning my relocation to Lagos. God bless you all

You're welcome.

On where to live in lagos... As I said, I was away for almost 10 years, and just got back earlier this year. Things have really changed, and I might not be the best person to answer this question. I live around a place called Ikotun (Governors road). I got a house in this area cos I'm into poultry farming and where I use for the business is close to the apartment I got. Also, because I grew up in the area and know it well.

My rent is 850k for a room and parlor self contain. The building was nearly renovated. But if you're looking for room and parlor self con in a new building in the area (Ikotun, Idimu, Gowon estate, Akowonjo, Igando area), it cost like 1 million a year...some places, 1.2. And then you add the other charges, the total package might be like 1.5 to 1.6 million. My total package was 1,250,000. This axis I mentioned is relatively peaceful. I drive mostly at night and enter my house after midnight most nights. Another peaceful area I know is surulere (Masha, Akerele, Ogunlana drive, Adeniran Ogunsanya axis), but the rent is surely way more expensive than the area I know.

Nelochukwu:
Brotherly. Biodun has done justice to ur questions. I'll just add for u to get a cheaper car if u can as someone suggested like a Honda Civic etc so u can recover quicker.

Certainly u will atleast net 20k driving for 8hrs daily.

You can also consider Ikorodu as houses are cheaper there. You can work ur way to the mainland and island then close with a trip back to ikorodu daily.

Godsped

for someone that lived in ibadan for several years and started the business in 2018, here are my candid advise to you.
Considering cost of maintenance and fueling now, I'd advise you go for a cheaper car. You can look toward a toks standard Corolla if that's what you want for 4 -5m max but I will never touch that car even with a long pole as I have discovered better alternatives. Doing this, you'll have extra money to cater for other business ideas that might come up later which might eventually be your exit plan.
Secondly on the accommodation, depending on your budget and needs which I don't know until you give clarifications on, I'll abstractly advise you tend towards alagbole, ajuwon and akute axis. Reason being this areas share very close proximity to civilisation. Places like Ikeja, ogba, Maryland are closeby, this places now have good road networks too and I believe the rent here won't dig a hole in ur pocket either. You'll surely make 20k net as soon as you're able to master the trade and that's where this thread comes in.

Omoapena:
Wetin dey cause this serious traffic for the whole of ikeja

Jega2000:
... The thing is that you have to master this hustle, know what works for you... As a beginner on good days u can net 25k-40k daily with your honda civic cng, As u come sabi the hustle u can easily net 45k-60k daily on average working 10-12hours, No mind wetin u dey read for here, if you have the strength and work smart,The sky is ur limit..

ksmart027:
If the Civic is well maintained go for it, you can't compare a 2015 car to a 2007 car.

NB: the 2015 Honda Civic comes with cvt not automatic, i hope you know the difference?? If you can't maintain the civic, jejely go for the Corolla

Jamie90:
Thank you for your input sir.

I have decided to go for a lesser car that will return investment quicker. I don’t know if less than 2010 cars can be converted to CNG.

ReadaDream:
Try they research things on your own.

Even Danfo are converting to CNG.. so what do you mean you don't know about cars less of 2010

Glithronix:
Anybody that works today should please give hints on how they been running the hustle.

Omoooooh.

Pearl1910:
Go to Island early and only traverse Island to yaba. Don't come to ikeja or Ketu again until u have closed.
Or go to Ago/Festac area and operate from that axis to d Island and back.

Otunbalai:
God day guys. I have been having issues with my car recently. The car started doing over heating, I have watch radiator, change cover and connect the fan direct. I have just change gasket now, yet, the issues still persist. This as kept me from hustle for almost a month now. Anyone with suggestions of what could be wrong ? Please it's urgent, am already in dept. Mechanic are suggesting a bad top cylinder.

Jamie90:
Can I start with a new drivers license. I previously don’t have.

My bosses, please I need you guys input on this.

ReadaDream:
Yes you can... by new DL, you mean first issue right, like that's your first ever Driver's license issued by FRSC?.

Jamie90:
Yes my boss.

They are telling me 50k for 26 days DL. Do you have anyone that can do it for less than that? I would appreciate anyone that can give me contact.
