This is a very honest write-up. A lot of people still think Keke business is as profitable as it used to be, not knowing the situation has really changed. from the high cost of purchase to theft, fake parts, and fuel issues, it’s no longer as straightforward. anyone planning to go into it now really needs to calculate well before investing

Razzness:
I have always had the opinion that buying keke for someone to ride and pay hire purchase is lazy man's business or people who just have money sitting around somewhere not knowing what to do with it. Unless you are doing it to just help the person, there are many other things one can do with 5.2 m that will yield more profit and for a longer duration.

exactly bro. In most cases,they always derive loses and the Keke riders always fail to balance up to the slated amount.

You said Keke is 5.2m and yet, some people are still wondering if you said anything! Naija and comprehension problem

Hezzyluv:

Even keke with CNG no even reach 5m.

I am not here to spoil his business though.

And Jesus said it's finished. Five point what?🥺🙄🙄

. Buy through me you said . Hey dude,I only posted that to enlighten people, nothing else. As a matter of fact, I've always been against anyone going into that business line,but should he want to,he should considered many things. Hence,that's why I posted this.

So , don't just sit over there and assume things

Wen last u price keke?

Sonnobax15:
Good day to you my fellow Nairalanders. Hope each and every one of you is doing Great?

Last week, a friend of mine who had been saving to buy a Keke called me and asked if I could help make inquiries on the price of a new keke. He has always wanted to go into the business because I used to tell him how lucrative it was,I mean ,some years ago.

So, after some time,I called a seller whom I already had his number saved on my phone. I was shocked when he told me the current price of a new keke.
"5.2m naira". Yes ,that's it. I was left speechless and I knew how my friend would be more shocked than me when I finally break the news to him.

The moment I told him,he instantly changed his mind and said he'd rather invest his money on something else . The dude ran for his life.

Now,the truth of it all is this,and that's one thing I've been wanting to write about since the day I left Keke riding. And this is something I had always wanted to let everyone know, especially those who'd be willing to go into the Keke hire purchase business.

These days, before you should consider going into the Keke hire purchase business,you really need to sit well,and consider how and what's it's all about so that you don't end up regretting in the future, just like some of us did in the past

Firstly, owning a new keke automotically makes you a target for Keke snatchers . Yes,you heard me right. The rate at which new Kekes are being stolen these days is becoming so rampant and I've been asking if there are some particles of gold hidden inside Keke which nobody is talking about. Three colleagues of mine were robbed recently and their Keke all snatched away from them.

Secondly,the increase in production of fake spare parts have so much flooded the Keke market which makes me wonder if these producers are human beings with hearts at all . I once witnessed how a brand new Keke brought out smoke from it's exhaust immediately it was test-driven

Also, before considering on venturing into Keke hire purchase business, especially if you're planning to use it for transportation,you should better start saving from the very first day you start using it. Why? Because,Keke as widely known by most of us who once ventured into it knows and believes that any Keke thats being used for transportation only has a life span of 2 years. After that,the probability that you'll be answering to that row calls of every Keke mechanic workshop in your vicinity will be high.

But then again,fuel is something you must put into consideration because that's one of the obstacles most Keke riders are facing at this moment.

Lastly,your particulars, must be up to date,to avoid being in steady loggerheads with VIOs and police officers. These are some of the things I wish I knew before I got myself entangled with the system some years ago.

So, because you left keke business years ago and because price is now higher you decide to discourage everyone from buying keke...This is the reason education is very important, If you are educated enough to know change is constant and people and business adjust to present realities you won't be on this forum typing nonsense because you have a smartphone and data...

You cannot even ask yourself if keke business is not as lucrative as before then why are there still many people doing the business and still cashing out big time, borrow sense abeg...

You've said it all... The write-up isn't fleshy at all...

Especially where he quoted the lifespan of a keke is 2yrs is laughable...

Sonnobax na same Warri and environs I dey use my keke hustle... If I tell you the age of my keke and wetin I don achieve with am, you'll marvel... N my ride engine is still solid...

With that being said, you're right about keke snatching, but nor be only new keke them dey target...

Keke riding is still best off... No look down on keke riders o... Especially the ones that own their rides...

I rize

This write -up isn't fleshy enough . Just empty, nothing

Compared to how experienced you claim to be about Keke business.

You left Keke riding for road side recharge card selling and phone charging business for some years now.

Which has given you enough time to be singing banny this, banny that everyday.

And other endless tales. That's even why left Keke business because it wasn't giving you time for street gossip.


The people into the business have adjusted to the new price , high cost of fuel and all other harsh realities hence we still have many Kekes on the road. Even new ones.

People are still feeding their families and meeting responsibilities with Keke.

I don't think you're still in a good position to talk on Keke business anymore.

Your speciality now should be recharge card selling and road side phone charging. That's where you should be dishing out advise.

Although I pity people that will listen to you on that one too

Whatever knowledge you have about Keke business is rusty and useless.

babsthegreat:
Is now 3.5m not the 5.2m as stated

Na which dealer go sale Keke for 3.5 now? Keke Na 5m for Lagos TVs Brand New.

He has no knowledge about Keke business, his quoted unit price is even a farce. He spewed stuff that aren't tenable.

₦5.2m? It's finished!

However, Keke riders using CNG are making more profit these days

5.2million now?



Just few months ago my cousin bought a brand new Keke 4.1million


Nigeria is gone!

Tenses:
Those are good questions.

If a brand new keke cost 5.2M, how much will be the cost on a hire purchase?

I thought as much

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
5.2m for Keke? Problem dey for this country. E better make the person add money buy car na

Suzuki mini bus is 3.8 million so it's madness to go for Keke.

With 4.5 million u will get a very very sharp Suzuki mini bus, I don't know if the op is telling the truth ooo but I doubt if Keke is truly 5 million

Btruth:
N5.2m for Keke Marwa...... Chai!
It's finished.....
It was finished....
It is finishing...... 😢😢😢

u don't even care if op is telling the truth but u are finished right?

babsthegreat:

. Werey . A brand new Keke for 2.5m? . Dem suppose arrest you and your guy cuz definitely na una be the Keke snatchers wey dey terrorize Keke riders so . Una go just come online to come argue blindly without confirmation.

Keke has no second hand value.

Stop saying rubbish. Am a Keke rider and I can boost of 20k everyday.. Keke business is more profitable than salary work

Sonnobax15:
. I was told it now goes out for 7m

Chai!

As an experienced keke rider, how long will it take someone on hire purchase to remit 7m?

Keke riding business is still very lucrative, just confirmed it

Short up your mouth.

You and the op who have experience on keke and its related matters?

Someone around me bought keke last week for 2.9m _I am not sure of the brand. He told me when he is done with registration, painting to the state's code, trampolin and every, it should bring his total expense to 3.2m. He exact words, "to put it for road, total is like 3.2m and I have 2wks grace from date of purchase to do that. For now I can drive it like this, so na the money I dey try hustle". He gave out the old to his brother and bought a new one. If it weren't profitable, he won't do that.

Your 5m+ price is exaggerated and like someone said, your knowledge on this might be outdated as it is.

Sonnobax15:

Shit Business...5.2 wey pipo dey turn to 7.5 in 15 days..mcheee3w

. What your neighbor bought was definitely not the TVs brand. You should inquire first before talking down on something you have no idea on.
