No surge, the campaigns sef no make sense again, shey i will not go on leave like this, some kazeems can never make heaven sha, my kazeem has been robbing me in broad daylight since December, he keeps putting bearing inside my hub, instead of buying a new one, i sha kuku keep spending on the hub monthly, until i finally changed kazeems, the new one took me to Ladipo and we bought a tokunbo hub for the drivers side, low and behold i don spend over 100+ on top my hub via my old mechanic, but i was shocked to know that the driver side hub is just 18k, and after fixing, my car has been perfect, it's as if they just brought it from Londin sef, now to drive go Switzerland dey hungry me, when you keep spending money on the same issue, change your kazeem, those guys are the reasons most car owners cry.....

That's d penny wise pound foolish I am always referring to.
Good tokunbo is better than Chinese brand new.
Same thing with Corolla/matrix head lamp and many other things.

Car owners also have blame, it's not Kazeems fault everytime

well some graduate use the money earned during service to start up POS. Some go into vocational studies, some use the little money to start a photocopy business, some where employed in a job paying less than 600,000/annum, some became Uber partners/driver.

I haven't made up my mind yet, but Its still an option to chose amongst others. "I have a friend who is a shoe maker in my department and planning to expand after school" I am currently reading about ehailing in Nigeria, if I found it favourable and confirm that it will be able to sustain me, then I will do it.

Well, its a good thing you're already thinking and mapping out plans on what to do with your life after graduation and its also applauding you're already an undergraduate enterprenuer, i must say I fancy your courage, enthusiasm and mentality especially in this country Nigeria where there're limited opportunities.

To be honest it not easy getting a job after school even if you're lucky to have one most of them the pay is nothing to write home about, parents are dying in silent after spending their youthful life and money training their children only for them to graduate without a reasonable job... It very sad. Many graduates and undergraduates because of that have resorted to go into internet scam and other unthinkingable and unimaginable crimes like kidnapping, car hijacking among others. A few that were lucky get laid off may be after a few months due to bad government policies, contract jobs, companies folding up and the likes. This and Many more reasons are why most of us are found doing the uber driving job not that we enjoy it, no! But we have to make ends meet and then hope that things gets better with the state of the country for our children growing up even if not for us again because our own parents didn't suffer all of these we are currently being faced.

Yes of a truth you'll make money driving with uber/bolt but another truth is you'll have to put in several hours of your time driving morning till mid night, 5-6days and most time 7days a week. You'll be expose to both good and toxic humans, many will be ungodly while few will be pleasant, among all of these things you'll try to be calm for the sake of your account getting blocked because you wouldn't want to loose your source of earning. Even with the hundreds of thousands you pay as commission to uber/bolt you're still at their mercy because they have thousands of drivers paying even higher commission than you to them. You'll loose interest trying to apply for jobs because you'll have the thinking, how much can an employer pay you? After all I'm grossing 980k monthly driving. You'll loose weight, you won't have time to hang out with friends and family neither would you want to go on holidays because the surge are tempting so you want to be online at all time. You'll start having sight problem after some time because of flashes of light and your eyes being focus all the time...you'll start feeling your legs shake while walking or sitting down due to long hours driving, some will start having pot belle due to late night eat so constipation is inevitable, many will develope hemorrhoid popularly known as pile, late night eating, indigestion and long hours sitting down to drive can cause this this problem... The unfortunate drivers get robbed, get involve in an accident some their cars taken away and sadly a few once lost their lives to either sickness, accident or to car hijackers, never to be found again unless with God's intervention. Yes something must kill a man but people die in their sleep in their old age so why would a man die while on duty or to diagnosed sickness? Sad!

So my dear friend(s)[newbies] these are most of the truths celebrity driver aka cheerfulgiver and many others with little or no knowledge about the hustle won't tell you, know it now b4 making that decision to join the hustle.

Me i go speak my mind, I stand with and not just by the truth. I will die for it! I've lost a lot for this same truth oh but I've gain more than I've lost.

So like I initially advised "the bolt/uber shop is another man's idea" you are already an entrepreneur so think something bigger so you can stand among CEOs and not among celebrity drivers with unrealistic dashboards.

A word is enough for the wise.

My kia rio 2010 start work on bolt last week after registration online through whatapp I start without car inspection am so surprise I did not do car inspection and very last trip na far place on Monday from Lekki phase 2 to ago place Tuesday from fadeyi to iyana iyana road both on surge 4200 am still learning from my ogas in d house.pls my ac in the morning na mortuary afternoon cool nite na deep fridge now at nite all glass go freeze what can I do to it pls

I learnt that car doesnt like too much stress and the brainbox of that car is very expensive. Some says it overheats after a long drive and parts are general expensive. This is not to cast fear in you but to keep you inform of possible issue associated with the car so you know how best to keep it running for you. Tho I wouldn't know if yours is the stick type cause most of the bad reviews is about the automatic.

Good luck and welcome to the hustle.

All I can tell you about most of your adviser here is that “Frustration can be catalyst of push and dreams can also be a push” in quote “catalyst of push”. Some who claim to be in the ant league but can’t detailed how they achieve it is so amazing and whack.

Most of them see this forum as an avenue for their myopic opinions and an avenue to gather likes to feed their ego.

Maybe you did not understand my post, i kept paying my kazeem money to buy tokunbo for me, instead he was buying bearing, the new mechanic was the one who opened my eyes to the whole thing, i always thought i was buying tokunbo hub, not knowing he kept refurbishing the old one....
