Please guys I need your advice, I am a government worker and my monthly salary is #55,000 but I usually get some allowance anytime I went for an assignment, infact am presently in one assignment right now and my allowance for this assignment is #65,000 so right now all my earnings every month for now is #120,000. but the problem am having right now is that I don't like the job because of the risk in it (You can lost your life at any given time) and also the job is not 100% guarantee because you can be fire at anytime, I also don't have time for myself and my family and the government did not have any proper plan for our future.
So now am thinking of buying a car so that I can be using it for online cab such as Uber and Bolt because I have discussed it with some of my family and friends and they said doing Uber and Bolt is more lucrative(financially) than my present job and I am going to have time to plan for my future and also the risk in it is not as high as my present job. please note that I will be the one to be driving my car.
Please your advice is urgently needed please you can also ask me any questions. Please my brothers may God bless our hustle.

OJURONGBE1:


Let me get you clearer, are you comparing driving on Uber with corporate jobs in terms of stress & fatigue?

OJURONGBE1:


I didn't ask about the pay.
Everybody here knows some Uber drivers saves 80- 100K+ monthly but driving round Lagos in this back breaking traffic & hot sun takes a toll on their health.

darmilolah:
Are they still changing narratives in this forum?

1daboi:
do you know that 2drivers use one car in Lagos? Have not ordered a cab and have a different person shoe with same car u expected?

Pearl1910:


I don't know what u define as corporate job...is it sit on ur desk and watch YouTube or do social media with little or no work till 5pm? I prefer to drive all day than work audit/account in kpmg or gtb teller if the pay is not upto 250k/month

ndubuisi2021:


All these your narration that fetched you 5k doesn't sound so sweet in my ears. It shows that for one to make 5k on ehailing, you must peel your legs.

I was buying roofing sheets the other day at Bogije, Ibeju Lekki area. Men, those guys with their rickety trucks netted close to 30k the few hours I spent there observing them carrying bought roofing sheets for people. I was billed 9k with abeg to drop my roofing sheets at Sangotedo, a journey of less than 15km. It made me wonder how notoriously stressful Uber and Bolt can be before one can earn reasonably. It made me concluded that it's really not worth it if I have to run around like a rabbit round Lagos to earn money while an artisan will be in one place a day and earn three times more in a more defined way.

I think it's better sometimes, to put the stress level and many other things in perspective when talking about earnings. This hustle is crazy and weird in many ways. No man deserves to be in it for the long haul no matter how much you earn. Take what you can take from it, have concrete plans as you are in it and leave it for good.

Pearl1910:


I don't get you o...when u work in ur office, do stand or seat? How many hours do u walk around?
Nothing stops u from taking walk breaks when driving.
If u want to compare office work that u do little or nothing with uber work just say it...stop arguing dilly dally.

Better still if u are interested in knowing how others do it year in year out , just ask rather than try to puncture holes in ones statements.

If u didn't experience it, u would have argued if u where told pick-up guys make 30k in a day. But from their earnings they pay their motor-boy, other union fees, and access fees in estates and streets.

Every job comes with its own stress and reward, I can't drag u if 5k profit in 4hrs doesn't interest you, everybody has what moves them. It wouldn't be bad if u pointed out a better/easier way of making more money.

You see this life ehhh...just find ur small pond and be swimming inside it, don't mind people that tell u "ur pond is too small", "d water is not clean" etc. If u must listen to anyone, its d one that swims in a river and wants to show u d way there.

OJURONGBE1:


No right thinking person with a working brain would choose Uber over KPMG or Gtb except he/she is a contract staff.
Guy, driving on Uber has taken a lot of folks off the street & reduce the burden of unemployment but none of these fellas would want to keep driving for long.

You're the one who should read my question slowly. Can you compare the burnout, weight loss, complexion change, fatigue & stress you're subjected to driving on Uber to corporate jobs?

Corporate jobs like Banking, consulting, construction, Audit, insurance, IT, Legal services, teaching/lecturing, Health services, FCMG etc)

Hard work and luck ke... If u add hard work and luck then u are talking about 100k in a week o. 55k in a week is normal work, no stress. Go out 8am close 6pm from Monday to Friday

1daboi:
y'all should take it easy on how you mention money here. Do you know the strength of the man? Did you also tell him how some drivers sleep in the streets to get those dashboards? Did you tell him the number of hours a driver can put everyday? 15, 16hrs a day?

BAZ001:


This part off me
What are you trying to say ?

AOB1:
What am trying to say is that I knew they were not doing e-hailing like you guys, they are engineers but I still need their advice, because they have one or two experience about you guys.
