JayDuke:
I actually created this account so I could come back years later and look at where I started and be grateful, my reason for creating this account was cos of what I read on travel section from a moniker named mackynaija or so, he created a thread to monitor his jakpa progress.

So on my previous thread I was asking NLders if it was good to invest my savings or I should wait? Well they all advised me though and I had to take their advice and mine and come to a conclusion.

I decided to buy a motorcycle and drive after NYSC, the bike I bought actually cost more than I budgeted for and somehow it took my entire savings and also I had to sell few things to cover the cost, but I wasn't disturbed cos I could recover the money.
I later found out that I'll fix plate number and also pay for union on the route I plan to drive, this put the entire cost to around 350k. Na wa o.
I have decided to sell my phone and also use 70% of my next allawee to cover the cost, I told the seller I'll complete it by month end and take the bike.
I'll update when I finally get the bike, that is if I haven't sold the phone yet, cos the person that plans to buy the phone is a corp member too and is waiting for the monthly allowance before she could pay, but if I have sold the phone, I'll update when I get a new phone. I just pray she doesn't change her mind.
I also created a Twitter account to update my progress but since I wish to remain anonymous for now, I don't want to let people know about the account.
I'll be passing out by June

Is this the best you can do with your life? Driving bike after spending years in school?

Why did you bother going to school then? You should have just gone straight to bike riding.

Guy, get serious with your life.

If you graduated with at least, a 2:2, get your cv ready and start applying for jobs.

There are jobs in this country. In fact, many youth don't want to work again. They now prefer yahoo and other things.

So there are jobs for focused people who want to work.

There are graduate trainee programs that are announced every other day.

Different banks announce graduate trainee programs every other day. Get into one. And the pay is way above average.

Settling for bike riding is settling for less. It means you have already given up on yourself even without trying.

That's mediocrity.

Get in the box with your mates and dig it out.

For how long are you going to drive bike to buy a basic Toyota corolla (around 7m) and build a decent 4 bedroom bungalow?

Guy get serious with your life abeg.

That is very Cheap ooo.

New Bike in my area is between N950k to N1m

You really tried

Just follow me, ill show u where I am in the next 3years.

My brother don't give up. I will tell you my story to inspire you.
When I finished service I was able to raise 120k which was not enough to afford me a golf 3 for transport like I intended to buy.
Thank God for npower, through which I was able to raise fund to purchase a fairly used keke bus. Thank God for blessing me through this bus. I don't depend on anyone for my upkeep and other basic needs. Every day I return from work I keep thinking God for the idea. Indeed there's money in the transport sector.
I'm thinking of diversifying into bolt.

CONGRATULATIONS OP.
I'd suggest using the bike for dispatch rider instead of okada. I admire your resolve, keep it up

Congratulations bro wish you success

Take that your advice far back. This young man is moving, don't slow him down with this you burden of an advice.

Wainey:
When u see people that are goal driven, you will know, no be all these ones blaming Obi and Tinubu for their own failure.
Like someone said, u are a focused person, some people no fit save better 30k after NYSC but here u are saving 300k in this kind of economy.

My advice to u OP is to find one correct babe weh go build with you, her presence sef will help and chase leeches that will want to come and chop ur money.
Na these kind people need govt grants.

Ggg

ednut1:
finished NYSC before me, went back to his town in offa Kwara. I don’t know anything about him since he left

Thank you.

Wish you safety on the road.

I don't need to follow you. I know what I am saying. But you are still blinded by youthful exuberance and unfounded optimism.

Bike riding will not give you a decent life. Depending on what you consider a decent life.

In that three years, you won't make enough money to afford a Toyota corolla. I can bet anything on this.

The highest you may be able to do would be to buy another bike and give to a rider who will tell you stories every day.

You write fairly well. Which means you have above average intelligence.

Don't give up without a fight. If you are below 26, get a cv and start applying for graduate trainee jobs. You won't regret it.

I can assure you that if your goal is to make a decent monthly income of around 1m monthly, then Okada riding will never do it for you. Trust me.

Or if you doubt me, do the unit economics and give me a break down.

Shelve this your optimism and go do something better with your life.

thanks for the criticisms.
But I already mapped out how to make that 1m monthly, it's a matter of time

You're doing well bro

Still better than that other corp member that went and buy Mercedes Benz 1960 for 350k

JayDuke:

This is not criticism. Just laying bare the facts.

Well. I see your mind is made up. Congrats.

But lastly, are you kind enough to share with me how you intend to make 1m monthly in three years time starting with an Okada today?

It's okay if you don't want to speak further on this.

I don't intend to spend my profit but invest every bit from it, and I also intend to survive on 50k monthly.

No mind that guy....he wants to be courageous like u, but he dey form.......as if something is wrong l with applying for white collar jobs and havig a side business....

He nor know say delivery for higher purchase na 30-35k per week if u decide not to ride the streets yourself....before u know it u dont get more bikes, start logistics company ...

JayDuke:
It's just a little progress in life but I am happy about it, I actually update it on politics section cos I want input.

Modified:
Those telling me why I settled for bike, calm down guys, I don't plan on driving okada for the rest of my life.
I joined cosmetology class in my Saed and I ended up selling liquid soap, shampoo and the rest to help me save money, But at least I don upgrade from that, so I go upgrade from okada too, na just to gather capital for my next adventure.
I appreciate ur criticisms though

How do a get the seller's contact. I want to empower someone.

Such a condescending comment. Some of those who are up today, you will be shocked to know where they started from.

Secondly, I don't think he stated or implied anywhere that he plans to drive bike for the rest of his life. Stop demoralising him abeg.

Also, how exactly do you expect him to survive whilst applying for graduate trainee programmes?

See advice, find one babe for someone that is coming out from NYSC to face the world and labour market.
Op pls ignore this useless advise

You see it as condescension. I see it as stating the hard facts.

You can as well buy your own bike and join him in Okada business.

I gave him that initial counsel because he didn't sound like someone who is willing to try getting a corporate job anytime soon.

Any way, I'm sorry to have offended you people. I may have been projecting my own standards on random strangers on the internet.

Well done op, I bought laptop with mine in 2013 and I know how profitable it was to me. God will see through

Well, you could have stated the "hard facts" without talking down on him. Everyone needs counsel and motivation at one point or the other, but the way and manner it is given is every bit as important as the message being passed on.

This goes to show how far our political leaders have destroyed this great country.
