TheBizMsn: He should buy an acre of land and do everything to plant at least 200 plantain trees and 100 Coconut trees. Any money he makes again should go into gradually fencing and gating it. He will be in a very good place in 2/3 years.
Sonnobax15: Happy weekend to each and every Nairalander out there......hope y'all are already getting prepared for Donald Trump's evasion?
There was this funny experience I had with VIO personnels when I was still riding Keke. I was on the road that particular day and was in a joyous mood,but was suddenly cut short when I found out VIOs were in front, inspecting the particulars of vehicles and tricycles(Keke). Immediately I remembered how my first experience with them was,and how I wept that day in their office, pleading but they managed to pity me after dropping the sum of 20k before they could release my Keke for me. I remembered how I went to workshop the following day and i dropped the story before my fellow Keke riders and one of them gave me a trick which he had been using whenever he came across VIO. That he'd park his Keke at a very far distance and walk up to them, discuss with them and probably give them a small token and they'd let him pass. What a trick indeed!!!. While I was already here contemplating on the next move to take,the trick just flashed in and I was like--"Make I try am first whether e go work for me"
So I parked at a very far distance as I was told to,but it was quite obvious they had already seen me. I met one of them and explained to him that my road worthiness had expired but if he could please let me pass . He agreed and even requested that I should give him #500 first. I gave him the money and went back to where my Keke was parked. I ignited it and zoomed off,with all my passengers fully intact.
On getting to where they(VIO) were inspecting other vehicles,I discovered that the officer whom I met wasn't there any more. He must had deceived me . Omoh,na once my head first open . Immediately,I knew I was already in another wahala and before I could say jack,I was already ordered to park. I was ordered to bring out my particulars for inspection. That was when I started stammering and before I could realize,all my passengers had already boarded another Keke and I was left to face my fate . Omoh,I could remember myself looking up to the sky and questioning myself --"Obax,why you mumu like this". "I for kukuma drop the passengers make I reverse like I dey do normally before" . But it was already too late.
After spending about 20 minutes there with them, pleading and begging. Finally they freed me,but after collecting all the money I've worked on that day . But I learnt never to take advice from my fellow Keke riders again cuz I realized many of them were always fond of misleading others.
Dear Nairalanders,have anyone had any funny and unforgettable experience with either VIO or FRSC officers before?

Seems you've stopped the business. What are you doing now?
But then again,if na second hand keke bro,my hand no dey.
The second Keke I bought with my own 1.5M earlier this year,I spent over 600k just to put it in order... But unfortunately,it couldn't work out well and I ended up in debts of 150k..... Later sold it out for 750k..... Oya imagine the huge lost I encountered...Na why I wash my hands totally from anything that has to do with Keke......in fact,if anybody come my front come mention Keke,I dey consider such person to be my enemy 😡
So,I wouldn't even advise an enemy of mine to go down that route let alone a brother man.....
My two cents tho ✌️
You don't mean this. So you lost more than half your money on this venture despite the fact that you have 4 years experience.
My friend is an agent. For some two years now he has only been getting money from people looking to rent houses.
Nothing serious. Just some 10k here, 25k there etc. (you know this agent business, sometimes up to 5 agents share the spoils on a single house)
Now fast forward to two weeks ago, he was part of a land deal and got over 800k as his portion.
He was able to save 400k from the beginning of the year till now.
So he wants to add his 400k to the 800k and buy second hand keke of 1.2m
He is doing this because he heard that keke riders make up to 300 to 400k a month.
I don't know for any other location, but I know that in uyo the type of lives keke riders live doesn't depict 300k monthly earnings. (I might be wrong)
I am not looking down on any body so please spare me all the dignity of labour activism.
I honestly want to know, can keke riders make such amount of money monthly?
Pastor Chris Oyakhilome issues a strong warning on Nigeria’s new tax law and the growing call to tax the rich more heavily. According to him, this approach may seem fair on the surface, but the real victims could be ordinary Nigerians and the poor. In this video, we examine Pastor Chris’ argument that when governments increase taxes on the wealthy and big businesses, the burden is eventually transferred to consumers through higher prices for food, rent, transportation, and basic services. What looks like a tax on the rich may quietly become a tax on everyone else. As Nigeria debates tax reforms and revenue generation, this message raises critical questions: Who really pays when the rich are taxed more? Do higher corporate and wealth taxes reduce poverty or worsen it? How does taxation affect inflation, cost of living, and small businesses? This video breaks down the economic logic behind Pastor Chris’ warning, explains how taxes are passed down the supply chain, and why policymakers must be careful when designing tax laws that affect businesses and investors.
Every December, the Akwa Ibom State Government hosts Christmas Unplugged, a 31-day cultural festival designed to promote tourism, unity, and heritage across the state. Each local government area takes a day to showcase its unique traditions.
This year, a special twist was introduced — non-indigene communities living in Akwa Ibom were given the opportunity to proudly display their culture and heritage.
The Fulani community opened the performances, followed by the Hausa community, and their displays were nothing short of beautiful, colourful, and rich in tradition.
At a time when negative narratives often surround the Fulani people, this performance told a different story — one of peace, culture, and coexistence.
🎄✨ Watch, enjoy, and celebrate Nigeria’s cultural diversity
