The thing is: Uber don cast. Only drivers on Bolt can smile for now. And if you have issues with Bolt how will that be possible? I worked 3 days this week and earned 11k plus aside fuel money o. I just can't but pity those still doing this work on full time without having any other means of surviving and use only UBER!
How man go get only one source of income inside life??

That na casting na.

Look closly to my dashboard you think say those off days are for nothing?

How guy man like me go dey without being mobile? Inside this life

Thats y I relax once I get my weekly rental.

My prayer be say make BABA shine him light on me... Even Bolanle like better thing

it's likely to be better by then, reason why business is dull is because partial lockdown is still in effect, if government lifts this lockdown by September or October and there is full scale commercial activities from Monday to Friday economy will bounce back. Also reopening of churches, schools and Events centers: Birthday parties, wedding and so on would improve things too. Weekend life will come back

I don't see full activities resuming back this year.

THE CIRCLE OF POVERTY
THE GODFATHER

Interesting reading.:-
I run a manufacturing business and a trading business.
The biggest challenge in my manufacturing business is not power, or infrastructure, the biggest challenge is getting honest staff. Everyone we hire is appears to be on a mission to steal as much as possible. Inflated invoices, recording less than the actual number of units produced. The worst part of it all is that all the fraud we've uncovered is not done by a single person, it's usually many staff who collude with each other, from production, to sales, to finance, even top management. There was a year I overhauled management 3 times in a year. But I've found a solution sha, I now use Indian management. So competent, so honest and so straightforward. I thought they were expensive at first with all the visa fees, accommodation, house staff, but now that losses due to staff theft have been reduced to a minimum, and efficiency increased, the Indian management has turned out to be cheaper than the previous Nigerian management. Now, all sensitive positions involving money go to Indians. Nigerians are only allowed in non-sensitive positions. I used to criticize companies like Dangote Group that hire so many Indians when there are many unemployed Nigerians, but now, I understand their decision.

My biggest challenge in the trading business is the same, getting honest staff. The form of trading occurs in the open market, and involves staff having access to huge sums of money running into a few millions. I know how much I pay to security companies to provide escorts for the staff, not to prevent robbery, but to ensure that the staff go straight to the bank to deposit the money after the day's sales and not disappear with my money. This money spent on security companies is even enough to be declared as profit. We have to spend on CCTV, biometric scanners and other things that wouldn't not be needed if staff weren't looking for the slightest opportunity to steal.

It got so bad at a point that my main criteria for employing staff was no longer competency but honesty. At least, competency and skills can be learnt, but once you're dishonest, you're dishonest.

We always complain of the economy and how they are no jobs. I know people abroad who would have loved to set up job creating businesses in Nigeria but they can't because they can't get any trustworthy person to run it.

I know people in Nigeria with so much money, they want to start factories and other job-creating businesses but they can't because they are occupied elsewhere and can't get any trustworthy person to run the business. So instead of investing in the real sector and creating jobs, they'll just buy treasury bills, while the thieves are shouting no jobs.

Many big businesses would have been born in Nigeria if we could engage in partnerships, but we cant because you can't trust anyone. This is one advantage the Indians and Lebanese have over us in Nigeria. They can pull resources together and do mega-business, unlike Nigerians that because only one person must do everything since we can't partner, end up with small, tiny businesses.

Start a poultry and they will be stealing your eggs. Some will even go
ahead to be killing the chickens so that they'll be allowed to take them home.

Start an entertainment/viewing/game center and they'll be pocketing
your money. On the days you're around at the business, the money
realized will be x10 of the money realized when you're not around.
Because they're eating your money.

Lease out a vehicle to a driver to use and watch as he'll finish you.

Start a restaurant, the same thing will happen. More than half of the
total food ingredients will end up in their personal kitchens.

Even ordinary provisions shop, they will find a way to steal.

You'll see them with that their evil, wicked saying "na where person dey work, na there e dey chop, na e make dem dey callam workchop/workshop"...... Just imagine, justifying theft at work.

And you'll see these people point their crooked fingers at politicians when they're not any different. I usually say the reason most Nigerians haven't stolen billions of government money, is simply lack of opportunity.

Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria.
Why did you put your name as if it's your story smiley

I will center at the bolded.

First, I will only buy a car for ehailing at this time if I'm to drive it myself

Secondly, I won't invest right now because I don't have the conscience or won't want to be tempted to be mean and to be wicked to ask for an unrealistic and outrageous fee at this time.

Lastly, if the car is over a year old off course I will accept my faith and make sure I get a steady delivery. The pandemic is nobody's fault so why make it look like its the drivers fault so he must rent at the same amount he's been rental anti pandemic bearing in mind this car has been rented at above 25k for the past 1year?

Its never gonna be like that for ever after all.
There's no "bolded"

Help me tell them abeg... And by then international airport too must have opened. meaning, Uber too must have come back with their 3% or even better, then the normal weekly remittances would have returned.

If you like collect 45k weekly for 4yrs straight na who say he go prosper go prosper.

But everything is actually not rituals you know. Though l'll suggest he use his discretion.

Sometime last week I got a request around past 9pm from igando to ojodu b/stop. Thought I could beat off the police hotspots before 10pm but I was wrong.

After like 4 check points and sorting coming back, I decided to stay put until morning at the last one.

Some few moments later a guy was also stopped and was made to sort before he was let go, all of this happened a stone throw from Radisson blu, just by the GAC auto showroom, in Ikeja.

We got talking and he told me his hustle. He drives a Mitsubishi sedan that he uses to carry passengers for remittance on the car. He plans to use it on e-hailing once his driving license is out.

But something happened one day he came out to hustle. A girl who ordered for uber but due to the long wait decided to ride in his car. Unfortunately she didn't have enough cash on her so she pleaded with the 2h she had. He declined, but later decided to help her and that was how their romance started.

Unknown to him this girl lives in ajah with a car of her own, gives him money every other day and has even promised to assist him get an apartment in ajah before the year runs out.

He played a phone recording they had, and believe you me, this girl is madly in love. There are people out there who are lonely but can't seem to understand why.
Story tales by moon light...

Everyone to their reason for ehailing.

May we find our own someday!

Amin!!

Very much do not agree. When a greedy big shot with plenty of money, but still wants to cheat and use people fails to achieve their selfish aim, they'll turn motivational.

But this same Nigerians still go abroad and are doing exploits and making waves in different spheres.

In this aspect Dangote and co who still patronize expartrates are simply unpatrotic.

When your staff are not happy, of course they'll find a way to make themselves happy.

Foreigners come to naija, set up a firm and are thriving, is only indigenious Nigerian entrepreneurs that seem to have this complain.
