meobizy:
I advice Ibadan. Mscheew. Is it not where you find yourself that you’ll start the business? Some questions in this forum tire me. No matter which city you live in the country there is always someone making a living off ride hailing.

Are you currently doing e-hailing in Ibadan?
Like what's the average amount one can make on a daily basis after deducting fuel and others.

A big manufacturing company urgently requires the service of experienced and professional drivers to fill their vacant post. Drivers would be required to travel outside Ibadan frequently and sometimes on weekends.

Good and attractive salary with incentives and allowances.
Pls only qualified drivers should apply.

Send your CV with cover letter to olamidexkay@gmail.com.
