1. BUY A CAR AND PUT ON UBER

OK, this is my area of expertise. I have more than 10 cars paying me every week. The joy of getting paid from a one time investment is so sweet. Get a clean Toyota corolla, register it on Uber and drive either full time or part time.

If you don't have time to drive it yourself, entrust it to the care of highly reputable fleet management companies like Pukena Cars & Drivers with over 4 years experience managing cars on Uber/Bolt. You get paid between 20k-30k weekly. That's some good passive income right there..

2. BUY CHEAP LANDS AND RESELL

I just started this one. Look for affordable lands in developing areas of major cities and buy. Some lands go for N6000/sqm and can appreciate to about N20,000/sqm in the next 2 years. Example of such lands include Lighthouse Courts Estate in Aba (https://pukenaproperties.com/property/lighthouse-courts-aba/). You can find more affordable lands to buy on https://pukenaproperties.com

Land flipping is a big business. You buy a piece of land and allow it to appreciate and resell it for profit. This is going to become my hubby! I wrote and article about it here ( https://pukenaproperties.com/land-flipping/)

3. BUY CRYPTO AND HODL

This is the best time to buy crypto. The value of coins like doge, bitcoin will only increase in the coming months. I am not an expert in this field like my younger brother but my wife and I are planning to just dump some money in bitcoin or any other good futuristic coin and forget it

If you need help with any of this investment opportunities, feel free to reach out to me.

Tuesdays are our inspection days in Pukena Cars & Drivers.

I look forward to it. It's the only time I get to interact with my drivers. I inspect their cars and check their apps. Our official Mechanic is always by my side throughout the process.

We prepare to sack some drivers who have habitually defaulted for 2 weeks and get to reward those who have never defaulted within the month in review.

It's usually a very engaging exercise.

Today I saw drivers that make over 20k per day from their app earnings. I also saw some lazy ones who like to see me talk.

When a driver defaults, we immediately call in their guarantors to make the payments while we retrieve the car from the erring driver.

We have over 150 verified drivers on our waiting list to get a car. So we don't hesitate to seize the car from unserious drivers.

More drivers apply daily for cars and we are always in search of more cars for them.

If you have a car that is just lying idle at home, Preferably a corolla, you can list it on our platform.

If you are a driver looking for a car for Uber and Bolt with an active Uber/Bolt account, then start your onboarding process with us today here www.drivers.pukena.ng

We are looking to empower more 100 drivers before the year runs out.

Would you help us?

Covid 19 shook our business to the marrow. We almost went bankrupt as most of our services at Pukena requires human contact and home service. The fear of Covid made this almost impossible.

Our main product Pukena Cars & Drivers also suffered as we couldn't accept new cars and Uber/Bolt remained shut till date. Onboarding new drivers and cars became very difficult.

In the midst of all these, i.moved from Surulere to Ajah Badore and that proved to be a lifesaver!

I saw a huge opportunity with finger foods especially Chicken and Chips. I quickly invested time and money in learning the entire process.

After ease of lockdown, we launched our first stand and we are hoping to launch several stands across major Estates and possibly run a franchise system.

We sell an average of 100 pieces of Chicken daily at an average prices of N1000.

I have documented my process in an ebook you can get on our website www.food.pukena.ng

Convener, Pukena Business Academy

Finally, after 3 months of self imposed excuse from corporate management of my company to drive on Uber/Bolt, I am back at the helms at our Pukena corporate office to lead the company to a new Era.

My 3 months experiment on the field is not without some invaluable lessons that I couldn't have known if I didn't make that decision.

You see, I realized I wasn't in control of my company's business processes. I am talking about Pukena Cars & Drivers.

I was leading a group of people I didn't understand their psychology and language. A driver can declare no pay in a particular week and all we can do at the office was to shout blue murder.

I didn't understand the real business of managing drivers. We allowed so many lies and misconduct that almost killed the company. Till I decided to be like one of them.

Now I see why Jesus came in the likeness of men. I now understand the gospel better.

You can't effectively run a business you don't understand in and out.

When we started that division, it was all rosy. I managed to singlehandedly increase our fleet to 15. I could still manage them. I had an overbearing influence that kept the drivers in check.

I couldn't even drive a car when I started the business. I knew nothing about the Uber/Bolt App. I just knew I could help car owners manage their cars on Uber/Bolt by providing and managing drivers.

I remember sharing the toilet with Uche Okafor, now Regional Manager of Bolt, at our former office at Providence House, Admiralty Way, Lekki Phase 1 where we both shared offices at Venia Business Hub. I asked him while we both eased ourselves, "Oga Uche, I want to be Taxify's official driver recruitment partner. Let me provide the drivers for your partners"

He smiled at me and asked me how many cars are on my fleet. I said one. He said when it's up to 10, come and we sign the papers.

That challenge launched me into the business of driver recruitment for Uber/Bolt. Before long I had 15 cars. We moved to Yaba and boom! We had 25 cars. My team bothered me to go see Uche. I didn't see the need. The business was doing well without the partnership.

I was personally involved in all processes: driver recruitment, verification, orientation, vehicle onboarding and even weekly payouts. I did all.

I had a personal relationship with all.my drivers. They knew me. My character. We fought, we laughed, we argued. All was well.

Some knew my weaknesses. Some knew I couldn't even drive. I couldn't even explain the apps. I didn't know how to check their earnings. They bidded their time to hurt.

That time came when I decided to employ more staff to oversee that particular section. I felt if I singlehandedly raised 25 fleet, a team of 3 can build on that success.

How wrong would I be!

Losing touch with my drivers brought out the evil tendencies in every man. They were now to report to someone else who did his best but, as you know, is only a salary earner. With two other people supporting him.

Before long, my loyal drivers were replaced with new faces. I had little or no input in their recruitment. I allowed that. To give the new team the chance to establish their authority.

At a point I didn't even know any of my drivers. I felt that's what it should be. If the company must grow, I must empower my team.

During that period I started working on #mymechNg as a service section for our cars. It was a noble move. At least by my calculation.

But things didn't go as planned.

The new drivers started exhibiting behaviours I was never used to. During my time, driver defaults was scanty and far fetched. And never a whole weeks pay not paid. And usually after many months of starting with us. If a driver was to owe back then, at least he will pay something. But now we see drivers defaulting from their first week. Some will pay nothing after working for a whole week.They damaged our cars more frequently.

I was bothered. I thought the answer lied in empowering my team more. For 4 months straight we recorded losses but I was still paying my team their dues and using my personal money to fix damages caused by drivers. I managed to pay car owners from other sources even when we got nothing from their car. I fixed engines, replaced stolen parts. I lost 2 million naira i just 2 months!

It came to and point where in a week, none of the 20 drivers remaining would pay in anything.

I would go crazy. I would shout and rant. Call for emergency meetings and talk. Nothing changed.

At this point, I didn't even know the faces of these drivers. I felt lost in my own company. I regretted letting go.

As expected, while all these were going on, the team expected to be paid. I realized I was actually alone in my belief in my vision. When I refused to pay, all hell was let loose.

I wanted to shut down operations and call it quit. After all Pukena is a multi service platform. I can channel my energies to something else.

But I loved this section. Of all the sections in Pukena, this was our biggest break. Maybe a product/market fit. We had an addressable market. The gap is obvious. And it's scalable.

Rather than quitting I needed to figure out how to revive our fortunes.

Meanwhile I had started driving over a year ago . I quickly got my license and joined my drivers on the road. I passed through Uber/Bolt onboarding process and picked valuable tools. I started driving.

I saw the business from another perspective. I now know how much can be earned weekly. I now know why a car will be damaged. You can drive a car for as long as you like without a scratch! Sometimes because these drivers feel it's not their car, they don't care. You see them racing on potholes and dragging the road with Okada and danfo. In fact we fix side mirrors every week in Pukena. Now everything has changed. I now know the challenges my drivers are facing. I think I know what it takes a run this business.

I should have done this before starting. It would have saved me a lot of stress. But it's never too late.

I realized our mistakes. We took a lot for granted in the way we ran the business. These drivers saw the loopholes and took advantage of them.

Now am back to my role, not just as a boss but also as a coach to my drivers. They now know I know what they know. I can pick your phone, open your Uber/Bolt app and tell you if you are a lazy driver or a serious one. I know more about cars now. I am almost a mechanic myself. I am more equipped to run this business better than before.

We have perfected our training system and our operational policies.

I want t apologize to some of our aggrieved customers we disappointed. Please come back. You can still make money on Uber with your spare car.

We are better than before!

My dream of having 100 cars on fleet in still in full force.

We have partnered with some major players to make our job easier. All cars on our fleet are safer. Payouts are guaranteed. Our drivers are better trained and managed.

I am back on the helms...

Join us!

At Pukena, we ensure you not only get a driver in minutes but a good one; one that fits your home or business at an affordable rate.

Finding and employing a nanny in Nigeria can be a painstaking and overwhelming process. The safety of your children comes first in making a choice. You must ascertain the person’s personality to know if she/he will be a good fit for your family, you are required to make many critical considerations. Even more, with the frequent release of videos showing nannies in Nigeria and other parts of Africa maltreating their wards, it is important that parents remain skeptical when making a choice. That's where Pukena steps in to help.

To help the parents looking to engage a caregiver in Nigeria, Pukena shares five tips to help them not only hire a nanny in Nigeria, but also remain confident about the situation afterwards.

1. Decide on what you want
Before you contact us for a nanny, make a list of your expectations and consider them to know if they are real or far-fetched. You must first decide on the kind of nanny you are looking for, disciplinary practices, demonstrated ability of any potential nanny to care for more than one child e.t.c. Ask yourself questions like: What days/hours do you need your nanny to work? Are you looking for a live-in or live-out nanny? What time will the nanny arrive and depart? What hourly rate can you comfortably afford in your household budget? Ensure you create a thorough list of “must haves” for your nanny search. Knowing your priorities will not only help you attract the right candidate, but also make the right decision. These preference are captured in the nanny order form on our website when you finally contact us for a nanny.

2. Interview the candidates
Even though we do thorough background check on all our registered nannies and mandatorily train them for 2 weeks, ensure you first interview the nanny before going any step further. Pick the best 3 to 10 candidates and arrange a meeting at a neutral location, like an eatery or restaurant. Alternatively, you can interview them via video phone or Skype. This gives you a chance to consider each one with an eye towards professionalism and experience. You also get answers to such questions as: Do they have experience? Do their qualifications match your needs? How well do they convey why they want this job, etc.

3. Conduct an in-depth reference check.
After the interview, do not just rely on the information we gave you on the nanny's background check. Conduct your own research. Contact the nanny’s past employers and make inquiries, do a thorough criminal background check, and identity verification. If hiring a nanny on your own, you can contact a private detective do these background checks. Most importantly, ask her for her medical records and ask her to take vital tests including HIV test, Hepatitis test and other tests to ensure she is healthy enough to work for you and your children are not at risk of any sort of infection from her. Pukena actually carries out an extensive background checks on all our registered nannies, however, clients are encouraged to carry out their independent findings too.

4. Arrange an initial meeting with the finalist and your family.
After the interview, go ahead and cut the list down to your top two candidates, invite them to your home for an in-person interview. Ask detailed questions about her background and child care philosophies and give them a chance to meet your child(ren) to see how she interacts with them. Take close note of how the children interact with the nanny. Is the nanny comfortable and acting natural? What is the child’s response to the nanny? if they are old enough, ask them for their opinion. In all, do not be overbearing, rather, trust your instincts. If you do not think the nanny is the perfect fit for your family, keep looking; however, if it seems to be a good pairing, then move forward with the negotiations.

5. Include a trial period in the contract
After you have concluded on terms of employment with Pukena and the nanny, ensure that the Service Level Contract spelling out all terms and conditions of contract is duly signed by all parties involved. However, it is important to include a trial period before full hiring. It could be a period of 4 weeks to about 12 weeks. During this trial period you train her and stay back for a while to see how well she gets on. If you are satisfied, you can seal a more permanent deal.

Good luck!

I have interacted privately with quite a number of nairalanders and one thing stands out: Alot are willing to start a business this year but genuinely has little or no money to get started. I was even amused when my beautiful sister in this section (name withheld) priced an ecommerce website for 10k.

So this weekend, I thought hard and long. I fought the thoughts for 2 days. I finally spoke to my business partners at Pukena about what I am contemplating. They saw it as a seed we are sowing for the new year.

Na wa for my village people. This afternoon, 24th December, I came back from a brief visit to the office and forgot my phone in the car. I later went outside to retrieve the phone. I use the car remote to always open the car. I collected my phone and locked the car.

Few hours after, I wanted to go drop off a visitor only to discover the car won't open no matter how many times I pressed the unlock button. And it's programmed to be open only with the remote system.

Tomorrow is xmas. See falling hands ooo...please help a brother.
