Once again thank you for ur well taught of response, u are right 3yrs is just down the line, and one may not even make enough to own a truck in that period, and also one could make more than that also.

Personally, I av a plan and a truck thing is not it, I have wot I do with which am satisfied to an extent. Bro getting a truck is good but just understand that 3yrs of ur life will be devouted to the project, am currently studying for my post graduate degree and I plan to have more degrees, u can't do that following a truck all through war torn places.

The risk outweighs the benefit, the life span of the truck on Nigerian road is less than 3 yrs, its actually 3yrs for developed economies, the conditions, paying for damages cos there would definitely be one case, what of robbery at night, what of the mischievousness of the drivers, they been there b4 u and would definitely outsmart u, cos dey would be wit the truck at all times,while u may decide to rest in a hotel. Oga so much to consider, finally how do u explain to your woman that you don't know how many times u would be able to be home in 3 yrs and u don't know which state you will be the next day.

I can go on and on
on to each his own.

No worries then. Goodluck with your future plans.

Thank you for your observations, u made some valid point. Point of correction sir, u r not to be the driver, u r just to follow the truck where ever it goes. Sir please am happily married, you don't just judge that way from afar. My first job in Lagos was also 15k, I understand hustling cause that is still what I do. Owning a truck in 3 years is a very attractive prospect, but just put ur mind to how u would live for the 3 years. Its easier said than done that when life gives u lemon u make lemonade out of it, bros u don't make lemonade from every lemon cos some lemon are spoilt, rotten and outrightly bad. If u make lemonade from them, the damage the lemonade will cause u may never be rectified.
For your calmness in responding i see you only need guidance.
Guy take that offer with both hands.

Youre not the one driving sef? Just to follow driver dey observe and you would given the truck after 3 years? (please clarify)
Ever heard at all at all na him bad pass? If you get a job at shell or shlumberger abi how dem dey spell am sef? and tomorrow you were asked to leave due to the prevailing price of crude would that suffice to you as a good lemon that wont upset your tummy? Or if it was a bank and because of sanusis policies were asked to leave just like that without prior notice, thats a pretty sweet big and juicy lemon right?

An entrepreneur is someone who is willing to do the type of things others wont want to do in order to live the kind of life others can only dream of living.

Not everyone has that spirit i must admit...truthfully its not for everyone.

For me i think its laudable what Dangote and Carlos are doing if yo can think through this rather than allowing your ego and emotions get to you.

How long is 3 years my brother? Wizkids first album is older than that (and hes been dishing out crap ever since) and in three years *visualize with me* this truck is yours.

You now begin your own haulage business, youve learnt most of the tricks of the trade in 3 years with your driver. So no driver can come and give you one story tomorrow. Youre turning in steady revenue, apply for a loan to get a second truck or maybe even buy one of your colleagues own and you now have two.

Then you keep at it maybe one truck is reduced to local trips youre able to get another or maybe even two, bear in mind in 3 years you have gained mad experience and established relationships along the way so no driver you hire can come and hoodwink you.

The principles of success dont vary beyond a + or - 5 variance from what i just told you.

if shell like make dem leave Nigeria sack all their staff, we are a consumer nation and supply chain distribution is one thing we wont ever do without.

I swear to you any complaints you wife had in these initial 3 years will die and you will become ehn? Super husband. Best part you dont need to leave home again na on top phone you go dey monitor driver(s) sebi they were complaining you were not home for 3 years, ahswear if your wife doesnt ask you to be leaving the house just so she can be free from the way youre always making her cook for you and the alarming rate of your eating eba, dont talk to me again.

Its an initial sacrifice but well worth it.

Sorry i misjudged you as unmarried, get your wife in line with the process. im yet to see the woman who wont fall in love (all over in your case) with a man who has a plan.

I am a devoted and proud Muslim and I am in total support of this action. Desperate time calls for desperate measures. Instead of hijab, they can use small scarf and wound it round there neck, that way, nothing much will be revealed.

And for those that might want to start spilling rubbish here about other people's faith, you are no better off than the Boko haram their selves cause the same spirit of intolerance and respect towards other people's believe is common, the only difference is the killings.

May Allah(swt) guide our path in this life and may He restore victory to our land while protecting our gallant armed forces who are getting killed for us to live peacefully.

Justify my previous post in line with your thinking then come back to raise this issue of yours. Your prior post wasnt about marriage it was about wearing a ring. Two different things.

You really should learn how to get your points across.

First rule of an argument, stick to the issue or point raised, to do otherwise is to make you look unwise.

Sir, my degree helps me to be able to decipher things and helps in making the right decisions. It shows me that there are better and more convenient ways of making it to the top, it doesn't guarantee me getting that dream job,but it helps me in creating my own brand. That the world economy is in shambles doesn't mean I should endanger my life for a purpose that is just out to benefit the business owner. What do you think the life expectancy of a truck driver on Nigerian road is? At the training we were told that a person dies every 11 seconds in motor related accidents, add that to what's happening up north, and that's where ur market is. Now this was the question I asked Mr Carlos, if after travelling with the truck for about 350,000km one was unfortunately involved in a ghastly accident and terrible damage was incurred on the person, what then happens, since there is no insurance or medical package and one won't be able to fulfill the terms of the contract. U can guess his answer............. Its a contract and the terms are biding, if the terms are not honoured then the contract is off, irrespective of the reasons.
If life gives you lemons make lemonade using Dangote sugar.
If theres no insurance if you all come together as drivers, form a cooperative and sign up with an HMO to take care of the insurance thing would that not take care of the issue?

Im guessing like your colleagues most of you are not married, so the cover should be adjusted and initial fee reduced. Hey what do i know?

Last i checked staying at home sending out cvs, does not come with an insurance cover either.

Now i believe in the process of being out there in a process whatever it, no matter how crazy it sounds probably being the step you should take to open your mind to several other opportunities out there.

If after 400k kilometers the truck is yours, whats the difference between that and doing hire purchase from Stallion motors considering this one youre not even responsible for maintenance?

Call me stupid o, but im willing to bet somewhere down the line one person in this group with you will come and write autobiography of how he started an empire with this so called bad market of a job.

Just watch.

Too bad the only thing schools teach us is to have uncalled ego and absolute entrepreneurial inability.

Abeg no vex for me o.

PS my first job? i was earning 10k a month flogging the streets of lagos, lekki area to be precise and maybe you havent noticed the sun is hotter there than other parts of lagos probably the reflection from the sand. i dont know. i tell you no other job has given me more experience to value ratio like that one did.

If you havent noticed even oil companies are downsizing now cos of the market.

Please tell Mr Carlos waka for this chance and he should please cc. Dangote with it while hes at it.

craziebone:
i disagree with you completely! It is not only in court i can make my marriage to her 'binding'. What about the one we do in the presence of our parents and guardians? You people seem to be fixated on the guy's 'commitment' what about the lady? What kind of commitment is she doing? What exactly is she bringing to the table? Remember, we live in a world where if your wife or girlfriend gets pregnant for you, she can decide not to keep the child and THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING YOU, A GUY, CAN DO! It is then they would tell you "its my body!" they tell you this like you are dragging ownership of their body with them. All of these are backed up by the law!

This is the reason I WILL NEVER GET MARRIED!!! For them, it is about marriage and nothing else. When you come here, you will find ladies who will break up a meaningful and beautiful relationship with a very good guy just because a stranger came around and proposed to her. And i am like, what...? What exactly is marriage going to give to you that you don't already have with your boyfriend? Personally for me, if there is a thing i am not already getting from my relationship with a lady, then i will never get it in marriage, as simple as that! Is it fulfilment, satisfaction, commitment or love? If we are not already having any of the above while we are still being boyfriends and girlfriends, then we will not be able to get it when we get married. Build a meaningful relationship, first! It is absolutely unreasonable to break up a relationship that is already going on well just because another person came to propose to you. Why wreck a ship that is already sailing smoothly?
slow down oga. This one you dey para like this.

Firstly the issue of commitment and what shes bringing to the table are two completely different issues. One might lead to the other but still they are two separate issues. Dont get it twisted.

secondly on the issue of comitment you make in front of your parents compared to going to the registry.
can you take your brother to the police for owing you money? Now compare that to someone you lent money but refuses to refund you.
Thats the difference between the registry thing and what you wrote about commitment in front of your parents.

These things are checks for balances, cos we are human, in a spur of anger or any other emotion people can do something tht could leave a permanent problem in both their lives.

Lets take an example, Prince sees another babe tomorrow knowing fully well hes got an agreement at the registry will be another check he would have to tick before proceeding with running after her. If he does run after her he cant just come and throw it in Amakas face subjecting her to unnecessary strain and stress throwing caution to the wind.

Why?

Youre not going to believe theres actually jail term for doing so. Ask any married couple whos been to the registry.

The decision to follow through should the partner break the agreement, well thats a whole different issue.

Your view on marriage is well to say the least, your view, circumstances would definitely change this someday. You only speak like this cos of the present stage you are.

I would rather time have that argument with you than me. When that time comes be sure to send an invite, trust me i wont say i told you so.

life afterall they say is in stages.

I think this is a totally different scenario youre painting here, theres really no life and death situation that even me wont advice the person to run away, trust me even if its between mother and child.

However, this is just purely a case of solely a case of wedding type, last i checked didnt see anything so extreme in such a situation. Or am i still getting you wrong sir?

Like i said as a man i have the say over anything that happen in marriage and my pocket will suffer the pain not her's, About loosing at the end you mean for Amaka to go and start another 5years courtship afresh? I guess she will end up in redeem praying for hubby at the end of the day..

Any day any time the guy will always have an upper hand exept if he is broke, Don't be surprise the best friend of Amaka might say yes to prince even without him proposing to her... No be this world wey we dey?
Now youre getting it twisted.
Prior to my previous post someone had suggested they go their separate ways to see who would lose more. I advised otherwise that seperation isnt always the solution to a problem between a couple.

Secondly about having an upper hand (especially with money as leverage) Thats rather primitive. Im certain you dont like feminism and its strapping, but thats precisely the male version youre exhibiting when you speak this way.

Marriage is not a destination but a journey, and like any journey anything can happen. If your 'upper hand' drops someday-heaven forbid, and she now becomes your source of support, what do you think is likely going to be your fate?

Life happens.

Amakas friend saying yes without a proposal...lust wears out over time, love grows over time. My advice? Fall in love, it makes the ride worth it, trust me.

You'll be amazed if you think deeply about what you just said. A bad marriage takes two just like a good one. Think about it. Two people don't decide to spend their lives together cos they hate each other. There's always a diconnect somewhere which might not necessarily be peculiar to just that marriage, but how it's handled by the couple involved.
