Guys see me see wahala o. I picked this lady from Omole Phase 1 to Ipaja area on Saturday. She had loads that couldn't fit in the boot. We had to put the rest in the back seat. I made her realise she would pay for the load. Like play, when we got to the destination and because she told me she didn't have enough cash on her, she dropped 500 naira and even still collected 200 back. She also bought me pop corn of 100 naira on the road. The trip was on card.

I was shocked to receive a call from Bolt today that the lady accused me of collecting cash from her even when her trip was on card.

They asked for my own side which I already told them. The Bolt agent promised to get back to her.

I think we need dash cam in our car o.

Do you need a dash cam to convince bolt to block your account instead of just warning you? Except bolt has it in their terms and condition, you are the fraudulent one here for aksing for additional fare, I think she was right to report you. you should have made the trip offline from beginning.

CheerfulGiver:
Simple inflation happened bro. Nothing special. I remember when this corolla was 900k Tokunbo. Dollar was around 150 then.

900k divided by 150 is $6000

$6000 USD today is 3,000,000 naira.

The same corolla today is about 2,500,000, which is less than 3,000,000.

Did it increase in value or decrease?

Resale value is a scam. Always factor in inflation.

What is happening to used car prices biko? From the US I mean and not even the ones here already. The prices coming from auction is unbelievable. You can hardly get a steal these days.

Although there is inflation everywhere, even in US. U can't find car of $200-$500 again like before in auction

Sorry to ask, do you have an idea of car importation?
Do you know how much it costs to clear a 2006 car?
Toks.. toks... toks...
Pls quote me if I'm wrong, only the shipping cost of a car, irrespective of the location from the US is not less that 650k....
Now inland charge is a big factor you need consider, except you're in the US or a relative who answers all your demands...
You're considering corolla to be worth 2.5m and mazda 3 for 1.5m.... pls be sure....
Not all toks reach some 9ja standard...
Ask the guy with the toyota camry (muscle) guy.... he'll tell you.
Cars are generally expensive currently.... that's my point. Even a salvage car gotten for a lesser price needs money to get it fixed to meet standard.
Peace...

Do you know those trucks travels as far as 1million miles and still looking sharp unlike the HOWO products..... started looking into trucks recently,
thinking of the haulage business....
Well, outcome on paper can really be accurate. Moreso, the comparison is foreign used vehicles against brand new Chinese....
izzou:


A Brand new Scania luxury bus is nearing 200 million naira now.

The Chinese knockoffs is about less than half the price of the former.

If both are used to carry the same passengers and collect the same fare, by the time the Scania hits 95 million, the China would also hit the same amount to buy another China.

By the time the Scania would hit the next 95 million, the China would have made the money for the Third one

So in the end of the 200 million generated from both brands, One has yielded two more, while the other one just yielded one.

If you really can't see the point with this example, I really don't know what else to type

Well, outcome on paper can really be accurate. Moreso, the comparison is foreign used vehicles against brand new Chinese....

Let me give you a little story.

I have this client that wanted to go into the haulage business. He bought two trucks; A Volvo D12 (2010 model) and A Mack (Es....it looks like Vision sha).

They both worked for sometime, and then the Volvo developed an issue. His mechanic said it's the brainbox. I used my two legs to walk the whole of Berger Suya. Only one man had it and he said it 450,000 last. A brainbox that might not still last.

He left that one first and focused on the Mack. The Mack later picked up an issue. After many diagnosis, it was discovered he needed to change the 4 nozzles (the ones that has the rotor with them). He wanted something original, so he went to Lanre Shittu to buy it. They said it was 1,900,000 for the 4 pieces. We didn't even see it in China, only Tokunboh which is still dicey. He has decided to change the complete engine to the old one.

When we tell you that it's wise economically to stick to these cheaper ones, we know what we are saying.

There's no HOWO that would give you headache like these two did. It's parts are readily available. The engine is not complex. The tractor head comes with spring, not balloons.

The funniest part? The same money they would pay you to use a Volvo and carry goods, it's the same money they would pay you to use a HOWO truck.

And yes, HOWO trucks that come from China as Tokunboh are also neat too.

Which area/state please?

Drip irrigation plus borehole, gp tank, sumor, generator/pumping machine, drips nuzzles and equipment for just 300k? Abeg come give me connect o my brother we are members of the same forumgrin I bought my 3.5kva diesel gen for 250k alone... Small gen oh not very big.

To brush an acre of land in Benin now is 10k feeding imclusive tho, cutting down of storms burning, packing, fumigation, ridges and other things never join o bros... So how will land preparation cost just 20k?

Have you ever bought a seed and after 4-7days of planting non germinate? The money and cost of labour for planting and the time is gone gone because agriculture is about timing if you you miss a planting season like you already start counting your loss but thank God for technology shall.

How about mobility? To be successful in any business especially agriculture mobility should be your No1 priority... Its just like accommodation. You need at least a motor bike to convey to and fro your farm because you can't always get a bike to take you, wait for you and bring you back to civilization from your farm. And you don't need a bike that will be breaking down just anyhow if not na inside bush you go sleep one day. I bought my bike then for N250k brand new.

Labourers are the major challenge in this line of business because you can do all the work yourself so you need experience and reliable hands but how possible can you get them many are only there to feed and suck n prey on you because once they see a young champ venturing into agriculture those locals will start thinking you've collected some billions from FG or maybe your papa na ine dangote...

In a nutshell, less than a million can only cultivate some plots of vegetables I mentioned in my previous post not even watermelon or cucumbers because you'll need staking in regards to the later.
Let me address your post from the 1st point

1. If you have a source of water close to the Farm, Getting GP tank and making borehole is just an extra cost to me... Why not buy Honda 5hp pump instead of the Diesel gen... You know the Pressure can burst the drip tapes ryt... Drip tape plus installation is 300k-350k

2. Land Clearing in Ogun state is 15k...making of ridges is 10k... Spraying of Fungicides will be done by your workers.

3. Hybrid seeds for an acre shouldn't be more than 100k

4. 800k can cultivate an acre of Cucumber very well... This is something I've done... This is something friends have done... My Boss dey even use 500k take cultivate an acre.

Same thing I'm saying.... Channel your resources to irrigation and Nutrition... The rest are just for efizzy.

Get 2 Benue or workers from Cotonou... You are good to go
