OP, Kudos, I'm impressed by your Project & efforts, I don't Know your motive but will like to share some experience on fairly related issues As a teenager, the kind of education I had was such that I could service a vehicle ( had A3 in Auto mechanics ) I knew how the vehicle functions, we had about 4 mounted engines in the school workshop, but I did not have Practical Driving lessons My father struggled to buy his used car, he was a "classic' african Dad" you dare not even ask him I left University, having studied a different course, was begining to forget my 'automobile' theories I focused on the commonest job I could get 'Marketing' of some sort, we used pool vehicles, some hired with driver 3 years down the line, got back from field work,was summoned to meet the company's HRconsults as a candidate for an unscheduled interview Emerged few hours later as the new Manager & HoD, entittled to official car 24/7 with a driver, & in charge of managing 6 pool vehicles The company's Drivers were not well paid, so were always in short supply. I was asked to get myself a driver I got one from my neighbourhood, augmented his pay from mine In spite of all my assurances he did not understand my new status, & more importantly his He thought I was using him to fill the gaps, strategically avoided all arrangements to give me driving lessons I resorted to the books & my thoretic knowledge & weekend practices unknown to my driver Then I started to surprise him, on less busy days on our way home, unknown to me he also started to look for job elsewhere He eventually left without notice, it was difficult to get a driver at the company's pay, so I continued to augment Over the years I got involved with recruitment of drivers from my part of the city (down town) to elite friends I discovered it is one of the easiest ways to empower youths, never had time to train them, but to date has helped close to 10 with Driving School training & license aquisition It gives so much fulfilment whenever they come back to say hi (me having now left the neighbhourhood), discussing how much they earn in companies or as commercial drivers. I also having 'bridged' jobs as cab driver in my down moments Behold my favourite Empowerment programme to young friends at 'Moonshine' city I recomend it to anybody who can spare the time or cash, & access to Young people without much education, but with much eagerness to work Not ASUU 'strikers' trying to have fun Quite Transforming, & so Fulfiling! I am presently involved in two Logistics Companies for passive incomes One of them of Nairaland Origin, Haulfast Partners can proudly witness that our Driver earns N5k a day The Land is Green ![]() 2 Likes |

kingk:what the op meant was that, he's not charging any fee for the service he's rendering, or you expect everything to be free not even dime for pure water or something like that haba. at least to say thank you or it seems you don't know how much they charge to teach one how to drive. |
Re: Free Driving Lessons For 20 People by kingk(m): 8:10am On Dec 10, 2013 |
humblesteve: Thanks for your reply.......it's same as I said earlier, for instance I live in lekki and the op lived in badagry; at least the transport fee for to and fro within that distance is close to 1k5. If I'll be the one to foot the transport fee for 1 week, also I have my car, I fuel my car etc........only his transport fee for that 1 week is 10k5 other side bills is not inclusive though.....don't you think it's then far better for me to go to any or nearby driving school where I can pay let's say 20k, no car of mine, no fuel....... So you see what I meant for him to re-edit cos it would've been better if he also specify location too rather that quoting Lagos in general. 1 Like |

Abeg enlighten us more. I am interested tooIt's very simple madam. I didn't say you must know how to drive in one week but that you must be available to start within one week from the time i posted the offer. For those who have called, i have put them into time slots convenient for me and them. I don't lump people into a vehicle. It's one on one cos i know people have different learning curves. With my calculations we should finish with 20 people in 2weeks if some people here don't discourage them from starting. And yes i will have some kind-hearted people join me in the training. Thanks |

So we had our first lesson today. I met Hariyoh the first time today. He called me when he saw my post the first time here. We met at a busstop somewhere at Ketu. We got to work quickly. Lesson time was just an hour. He showed me the skills he'd learnt before and i gave him a little support. I think he's a great student. We cruised around his neighbourhood and his grip strengthened. I believe he won't need any assistance in just 3 more lessons. Well done Hariyoh! |
Re: Free Driving Lessons For 20 People by EyesulO(m): 7:30pm On Dec 10, 2013 |
Desptite all the cynicism a good number of people here have for various reasons. I am happy to announce to everyone that the free driving lessons has kicked off very well and i'm happy to see people benefitting from this gesture at no cost. God bless you all. |
Re: Free Driving Lessons For 20 People by EyesulO(m): 7:47pm On Dec 10, 2013 |
humblesteve:No that's not true. I reside at Ogudu but i have students in Isolo at the moment. Thanks for your thoughtfulness about what it'll cost me to get to your location but careful planning takes care of that without you having to part with your money to me. |
Re: Free Driving Lessons For 20 People by hariyoh: 8:43pm On Dec 10, 2013 |
For the doubting Thomas on Nairaland, after several calls and sms, I eventually met with Mr. Oluseye, a young man with good intentions towards helping nairalanders on driving skills. Am a living witness. Here is the pics from the first free training class held at about 4pm and be expecting more as class progress. Mr. Oluseye, continue with your good intention, I can speak boldly that during the course of the first training class, neighbour around also show interest in the driving class. God will reward you abundantly sir and hoping to continue from where we end the class today. Do have a great night rest. Cheers. 3 Likes |

Na wa o! I offered to give free driving lessons and I ask people to provide the cars they want to use suddenly I have become a potential car thief or ritualist. Should I teach you for free and bear all the risk of your learning also? |
Re: Free Driving Lessons For 20 People by EyesulO(m): 10:46pm On Dec 11, 2013 |
There are still five slots for the free offer. I have grouped a category of intended learners within Ketu, Ojota, Iyana Oworo, Maryland areas together and allocated time slots to them. The other regions also have groupings as well. I have received text messages from unemployed graduates who genuinely need this skill but can't afford to get a car, I'm imploring these ones to be patient, hopefully those who are benefitting from this gesture now will support us in putting the available cars to in good working order for our use. 2 Likes |

Day 3 It's now three lessons with my first student. He's done brilliantly with his pedals(btw we're learning with a manual transmission). He's a typical student who has had some training in the basics, he only needed someone to help out with his confidence on the road and just a little bit more. The car doesn't go off as often anymore. I'm impressed with his progress. We've travelled a distance of about the length of the 3rd mainland bridge in a busy neighbourhood. He started shifting into the second gear today. No hassles at all. In 2more hours of my supervision, i believe he will be able to take his family to church, take them out to have a good time this christmas without any reason to fear. 1 Like |

With 3 hours (3 days) driving class having been supervised by Mr. Oluseye, I took the car (with "L" tag on) on my own out with my family and we went round the community. All thanks to Mr. Oluseye for those driving techniques, irt really helped me own. A lot of people were making comments such as "why using learner", "This one no be learner again" e.t.c. 1 Like |
