kanuisagoat: Straight up! They are even unreasonable dents in & out I'll see and the deal is gradually coming to an end. But you know some car owners don't get to see their car for like 3 months, some are not even around. Theirs is to get their pay weekly, and everything is good, until they realise money paid so far plus the present state of car can't match cost of start up. 3 Likes |

dru23: Oga Dru you see if there's one thing that irritate me most in church is when people comes to give testimony on how they just got visa. It took me Mr President tenure to understand the force behind it, testimony is minor... infact they should mount billboards on major roads and use convoy at least 16 cars to the airport. That's how bad this country has sink. Regardless, I am not saying opportunities are not here, but it is in the hands of few. What do we really need? The basic things of life. Living in Lagos alone, have a toll on one's mental health. A fertile ground will help seed to grow proper, that is the difference between here and there. The energy an average driver put to work here, if discharged in equivalent to dollars? Trust me, the peace of mind and level ahead are not comparable. Let's be honest with ourselves, you stayed back because it its favourable, so why discourage other people. Ye! I know it is not easy out there, I understand you can't run away from tax and you have to hustle for every penny... but in the long run, does it worth it? Look at the frustration going on in this country. We are already at short one merely being a Nigerian. From driver pooing to fight a lastma, woman going mental at gas station, spend 4 hours to get to work and 4 hours after work (that's 8 hours of a man's life on the road). Yesterday, it took 2 hours for me to get gas and after the stress, i still have to drive. So many werey everywhere. I don't want to sit here and start telling you about business and fleet of cars. Even people that are selling hair seem to be cashing out. I marvel the day a lady told me she bought hair 500k. Like seriously? The projection is to be happy and observe great height with time. Trust me, Baz is not the only one hitting on this, I am yet to see anyone around me over there talk good about this country outside being a place of jollifcation once they leave. This *Had I know, I would have left on time* is what they kept singing. They all can't be wrong and mad at the same time. Inbtw: I feel we are not good at tapping the opportunities in our country, we've been conditioned to think one way. Growing up, I remember majority want to go to school and secure a work on the island. Took reality for me to understand that ain't life, even if the folks involved in it today walks with heads up and shoulder high. When I see someone who works on the island and resides on mainland with a 200k pay. I kind of shake my head for them. I know they are shaking theirs for me too it is called perception and very understandable. Foreigners are very good at tapping the juice in our land. They understand we are only good at consuming and they do take real good advantage of that. 9 Likes 1 Share |

pope191: A lot of owners go about the business the wrong way. They hear drivers deliver 30k weekly and they start multiplying 30 by 52 weeks and salivating. They forget the most important part which is learning the ropes. I will not put my one naira in a business I don't understand fully. 3 Likes |

pope191: It's been a while tho but I have to comment on this, this is an excellent pice from an experienced comrade. During my internship I had couple of friends on the island, (millionaire friend) they own house's on on the island (phase 1), when I told them I was doing my internship at mile 2 one almost screamed at me, that's it's was too far..this and that' to me it was a norm, the traffic at orile sometimes u might spend two hours there before you get home you are already exhausted. What's I'm I trying to say, it's true Living in Lagos alone, have a toll on one's mental health, for the average lagos lagosians, uber drivers and co. A pastor redeem pastor once told me that he do appreciate his driver very often that driving in a kind of place like Lagos...is hell. This man is someone that travel's the world. Pop191 I think your comments on this will be hard for most of us here to understand and until they have a right hand experience. Driver's are really suffering, tho it can become a normal thing when you are inexposed and not connected to the elite of Lagos. Oga pope191 one can't live in Agege, iyanoba and the few trenches of Lagos and have this your mentality and perception, You are wise. 4 Likes |

Viking07: I just want to make clear.. I don't issues for anyone japping .. But he comes here belittles all the hard working drivers. Saying driving is dead head job etc. And he talks about japa etc .. But he is not enlighten others step that he uses to jappa. He just talks about japa and IT job etc.. But at least give people steps u took and how u save money etc ....... Than he tells us he is in school .. Which is fine, but what part of IT are you studying in school . what are the job market for it . He tells you can make 4x amount doing IT than driving etc .. Which is possible , but at least open up to the audience so that they can prepare themselves.... Also he does not talk about school. How much the school cost etc. ... And me personally I don't know much about IT .. But I know friends that are making $60k per year doing IT . And I know another person that makes about $24 per hour and does crazy overtime ... This person works about 80 hours or more per week ..... And my programmer friend that makes $150k per year and bonuses ...... And this my guy has only 1 job I feel he has all these information and he is not willing share. But he wants you to jappa and do IT job ... 2 Likes |

peacefulhome: The latest trend is to jappa and do IT .. I don't known much about IT field .. But all I know is that make sure you get a good IT job that u won't be doing 2 jobs.... So na @BAZ001 u go talk to and maybe he can better advice you on the steps to take.... Maybe it is better to take IT courses or certificate before japping . I don't know but talk to the guy BAZZ001 |

kanuisagoat: Well $150k is not bad.. You don't need 2 jobs with that of money. Plus my friend also gets bonuses here and there.. So the money is ok .. Maybe after tax or so his take home salary could $ 120k .... But the job is very draining mentally ....... Also I have friend that does IT in Chevron Nigeria Lagos ... As of 3 yrs ago he makes the equivalent of $120k per year.......The cost of living in Nigeria is cheap so he saves more money and pays less taxes.... He is better off money wise than IT guys abroad. He pays less taxes and cost of living is low .. He was thinking about japping to Canada . He found out that he will not make that type of IT money in Canada...... So japping is not overrated o. You just need to be well informed and what will make you good money. |

kanuisagoat: Really!!! u did be surprised Brov. That's actually what they make. The difference is that it is easier to make that money over there than here but when u consider the amount of money u need to travel out...I rather invest that money here and make big bucks. That's my personal opinion. This whole thing is about personal choices but people fail to respect other people's choices. 1 Like |

pope191: I am not discouraging people not to Jappa let us make it clear.... My beef is when BAZZ001 comes here belittles drivers saying they need to Jappa But he does open up to them on how to jappa. He can encourage people to take classes or certificate in IT so that once they Jappa they will not struggle etc ... He needs to provide more information. He can advice what states in the USA have low cost rent and better IT jobs... The cost of living in some states is very. You end spending your income on rent....... Some people will jappa with little or no money . And most are ill prepared to jappa .. If he can share is experience of japping than he can help people to make better decisions . but when u come and say jappa this jappa that , but u are informing the audience with information that will help them .. Than there is no point .. It is like saying I found my way , you too find ur way ...... Information is key my brother |

Pearl1910: When dru23 mentioned the money, I thought it was monthly till I saw his subsequent posts. How can I gather 8m and use it to japa just to earn 60k per annum when I can put the money to good use here and live large. Money wey go buy 25 Okadas and will turn to 14-16m in one year all things being equal. Anyone who wants to japa should japa. Obviously, it's not for me. 1 Like |

dru23: Oga Dru let me talk on those highlighted. Few peeps here has beat down driver and drag the hustle, so I don't think Baz has done worst, unless you just want to make a scape goat out of him. Check an average person in this country, japa is all they could think right now. Go to KPMG, PWC those are folks you will think they are having it all, but the rate their workers are migrating... one need to cross check before missing out. When you say he should give hint on how to go about Japa. You and I know there's no one way to Japa. All he can do is to share his own way, which might not work for another. I'll say this today... we are here by virtue of where we are born. If you have 2 kids, grew and school in a sane country till university level. There chances of coming back to run kitikiti moving lagos or coming to trenches to look for one mini flat or 2 bedroom flat is very slim. Failed system drove most of us to this, it wasn't optional atall, just the resistance spirit in is is the only reason we are trying to make lemonade out of lemon cars. When you say he should give steps and cost... did you forget how Pearl's gate man bought car within a year and some months? A matrix o, rent house and relocate his family? All from the proceed of rental start-up. And he can't even be kind enough to say how Musa did it. Maybe he saves 8k daily, borrowed money from Lapo or from him. He didn't even fill us in how Musa was able to secured the car he drove on rental, maybe it was from one of his fleets. While he is advicing me on how to save 2k daily which amount to 600k yearly to change my life. 600k in a year is big, but 150k dollar in a year is small to him. I am tired like this Well! All man should do what works for him. Wishing success on every one should be the paramount thing. 7 Likes |

I don't understand all this argument about traveling out or staying in 9ja and hustling. My brother people have been hustling in 9ja doing the real hard work, shebi dem talk say hard work pays but no be for 9ja own. The Economy is zero, SME's are suffering, People are even afraid to invest their money in anything ,nothing works here,our politicians keep putting their fingers in our eye and nothing dey happen. If you have the opportunity to Japa don't think twice o. People that were struggling to Keep up with family duties don enter Yankee in less than 3 yrs are building their houses and buying cars. Something they could not do with all their hardwork in naija. It might not be IT or what ever but the whole idea is to make money. Nothing sweet like when you are seeing the fruit of your Labour and you don't even have to work yourself to insanity unlike the case of naija Una talk say you can make money here driving odd hrs and with discipline,no doubt but I'd rather work 2 shifts for Yankee even if na Uber sef and still be disciplined at least i no go line up for Osapa London dey sleep for car Pearl1910: 8 Likes |

At the same time that 10 out of that 25 Okadas may have been sized by Lagos state government by now. Unless you intend running it from a remote place.

pope191: Hahaha...I swear... I sell plantain for hit sun, without shoes on my legs The truth is this bizness is just a mirage and and illusion, the only thing good about it is you can use it to raise instant cash for immidiate and little needs or expenses. Everyone should get sth one the flip side to add to it. Ehailing money should be solve financial needs like food stuffs, buy clothes, pay NEPA bill, security bills, do hook ups, drink, et al. With the level of inflation in the country now, saving money is not even advisable because 100k in your account today would have turned 10k a month after.

Either here or there, focus and having one to put you through make things easy. Few people I have talked to over there will say... the system works in a way that as long as you work, you will have something to fall back too. Not in my country, you have 5 million does not guarantee you won't beg for food next year. Yep! Just a wrong investment can put one back to square 1.
