Depending on the city u living in. Lagos, port harcourt, benin city, ibadan are the best cities for cab biz.
I am a lagosian. I was born and brought in Lagos. I schooled here from nursery to university level. So what's your point

Nice. Bolt/Uber biz in Abuja, Lagos and PH is a very lucrative biz most people don't know or because the society make them to believe it's a job for illiterates. Most of my friends( 1st degree holders and Masters) do it and they're making good money, they make average of 10k/day excluding expenses (fuel, commissions etc). I see people earning 100k/months abusing bolt drivers, I just laugh.

Good afternoon Landers.

I have finally resign from the banking job and I am very happy now with my earnings and freedom.

For me to resign I had to work as Bolt driver everyday I close from the bank and drive till 10pm and worked all through the weekends as a bolt driver, with this I was able to save 1million in short period of time and got loan of 1.5m to get another car.

So now my monthly savings after other expenses is 200k which I plan to pay back the loan in six month starting form this month.

I only work from Wednesday to Sunday every week now since I resigned.
Thanks for all the support from here, other contract staff bankers especially men reading this post should look for exits root immediately as there is no future in the banking industry for us as a polytechnic graduates.

Good luck to your hustle, but can the squawking abount HND gradutes not having a future in banks or any other sector, YOU ARE WRONG THERE.

Fola Adeola the founder of GTB bank now GTco had a Diploma in Accounting from Yaba tech, yet he was able to establish a bank which has become successful for over 30 years.

Its not your type of degree but your passion for continuous improvement and having the right foundation and information after you leave school. You have to look at what you can do in the long term cos you cant drive bolt for the rest of your life.
A business where everyone is into is going to will suffer profit decline, there are Poly graduates who are doing fine, study more dont just rely on your ND , HND, of BSC.

Well said. You guys are either poorly paid or you were entry level, either case, I am not contesting this as I have limited facts. However years ago as an SBE (Senior Banking Executive) my pay would not justify me leaving the job and doing Uber. The only issues i would have complained about are (1) humongous targets and (2) time constraints leading to lack of rest and stress. Please note, I was a back office staff (Legal Support Services). All in, whatever works. I was only clearing the fact that the OP was a contract staff (and his write-up also confirmed it).

Wey drivers dey earn chicken change except when surge dey.

Wey arm robber go kill drivers and collect their cars.

Wey Bolt go block your account anyhow without due process.

Wey go depreciate your esteem and self worth in a twinkle of an eye.

Wey go increase your stress level and damage your health.


And I can go on and on

Bank job na scam. Over glorified slavery especially as a contract staff. Even since I left in 2017 I have never regretted that decision.

Ah ah? ... how can you.... a graduate .... quit a white collar banking job ... to do same gateman driver job like brick head primary school dropout Emeka? ... why didn't you listen when they were preaching say no to drugs? Did you think of what people would be saying?.. and the disgrace it will bring to your family? Where is your pride??

Yes... pride ... the biggest problem facing graduates. I really admire OP for shoving pride to the side and facing reality... what makes sense... and then telling the world about it. Hopefully... this will motivate to sooooo many of our sit at home graduates to get up and fend for themselves.

Op I can relate to being a contract staff in banks, I almost lose my home cos of the job. I worked 7 to 11pm most times cos in my branch we were short staffed due to the selfish interest of my supervisors, two guys in my unit(operation) resigned and the supervisors refuse to request for replacement, my brother they overworked the tellers to the point that i had to resigned. Imagine a married woman with young kids returning from work almost 11pm everyday.. mehn bank job is not worth it even though I don't have anything doing now at least I have my peace.

Well done.

Banking Job has turned to something else.

I don't look at top management bankers as human beings.

They must be related to the beasts called unknown gun men.

Use city like Benin for that bolt business for you to make profit

A city where people live life on the fast lane...clubbing, drinking, smoking, booking hotels...

You know ball. People outside Lagos and Abuja are cashing out because of the lower cost of living, they can run many trips because traffic jam is very low or even absent, many people doing remote work prefer to stay outside major cities, clubbing and hotel business are also high.
I will advise anyone starting Bolt to try out other cities like Uyo, Makurdi, etc

Bolt is good but not a goldmine. At best, it should serve as plan B or an extra source of income. It can put food on your table but you need more than Bolt income to meet your needs. Don't be fooled. If you borrow money to buy a car for Bolt, you'll be disappointed and frustrated.

Wow. This is a very bold and courageous step. It takes more than a man to make tis kindda decision.

My own worry is the rapid fire increase in how bolt/Uber drivers are been targeted by armed robbers now.

How does one integrate security into this kindda business?

Look this doesn't matter at all. Be it contract or full time. The point is working from the back end doesn't in a bank doesn't pose much to u. U aren't asked to work during the weekends, u are probably not even given any target. As a well knowledged person in the operations(thank God I moved on from the slavery) you practically never have time for anything and u think being paid a paltry 250k as an ET is enough?

The man moved on from his banking job. This I admire seeing that if he makes a consistent 10k daily, that would land him minimum of 200k monthly assuming he doesn't want to be saving 100% his earnings. Alas! He would even make much more with alot of effort and God's grace and still have ample reserved time for other things. We must encourage big moves like this!

Now how many of the bank workers save that? (Remember am talking about savings). Most bankers don't even have up to 1/4 of their salary before the next payday.


LOL, but i am neither arguing nor contesting so what's the fuss here? It is perfectly ok that he moved. grin grin

Malabite be calming down, that inspiration you seek will come all over you. You are a malabite, I was a graduate of Hall 4 (from 100 level to 400 level) , so i know you are made of a sterner stuff.

On this matter, just let it slide. A lot were also earning more than me. Enough said.

80% are contract staffs that receive 30k to 60k monthly. Those front desk, like customer service and tellers all of them are contract staffs, some marketers too.

Bolt works in Akure. I started on Monday and it's been ok so far. I have a 2008 Honda Accord which I bought toks 7 months ago and it's what I'm using for bolt. It's not as fuel efficient as a Corolla or civic but it's what I have and I'm managingg it until I can get a civic. Bolt is very lucrative here in Akure because lots of people use it.
