Na social media be this make we no talk am

dapotemi:

Oh this is EVERYTHING we need to know..Thank you for your comment...I lost my job as a banker, maybe a BO.
Now I do u Uber and you say I suffer from low self esteem..Nope, I AM THE LOW SELF ESTEEM! This is the situation of some of you. I sympathize with myself and with you....You see, some of us have seen money, real money but somehow life happens and here we are, am not sure we will ever be comfortable doing this Uber and pls don't compare yourself with Chigozie abi Jamiu who was brought to Lagos by his maternal uncle to be watching his car every morning but somehow got a car on HP from his neighbor, who is a BO in the bank. Driving round Lagos carrying olosho from Radisson Blu to fourpoint to every shortlet apartment on the island, go home with 20k, what his generation never got in years and years of toiling in the farm and in Akwuzu river looking for dead fish to hook....For him, this is the DREAM, this is the Lagos MONEY they told him about, this is his own TIME! He's not wrong, don't blame him, that is everything he knows!! So what would he do if not to gather people and start lecturing them how to drive from 6am to 4am! That is all he knows! Hope he remember to tell them to brush their teeth once they meet target by 4am! God save the King and the Humber driver..
Pls be ashame of it o, if that is the GINGER you need to stop it and move to greater thing, PLEASE.

Omoapena:
Pilots
I have a question
Before the fuel hike, 5k worth of fuel will gross you 25k
But now, with the little increment in fare, can 5k worth of fuel now still gross you 25k?


Remember 5k now is 10litres and 5k before was 27litres....

Pls, I have my reasons for asking this and I want pilots to confirm by filling there car 5k worth of fuel and see if it will gross 25k...

You're actually not getting my point and you're not realistic! I guess you just want accolades here!

I am not looking down on myself. As a matter of fact, I am a graduate with professional certifications and vast experience in my field.

In as much as there is dignity in every labour, there are still some hustle you can't boldly say openly at a certain gathering or function. There are still some hustle you can't be proud to say at a particular function and one of them is a driver!

If you lie to yourself about the stigmatisation of this hustle, then jokes on you!

This is Nigeria. We look down so much on some hustle. It is not like that abroad. People respect uber drivers abroad. Nigerians treat drivers like piece of sh1t. I once sat with a friend who brought his lecturer friend along. She's a female lecturer at unilag. We talked for long. She introduced herself and when she asked what I do, I told her I'm an uber driver......she went; oops...sorry, I shouldn't have asked! I said why? She said; never mind! Then I went as far as telling her my degree, prof qualification, experience and the MNC's I had worked with. I am explaining this because there are calibres of people you would sit with, you won't be able to say you're doing uber cos they will look down on you. It might even spoil things or deter opportunities you might get. I'd rather tell you my field(not uber) and then crown it with; "I'm inbetween jobs at the moment"

I was following the story.. I don't know the real tag for the profession.. they are responsible for images in medical investigation ...ct scan,xray and sonograpphy..etc.. do newspapers really investigate nowadays before publishing?. He is not a doctor.

The car was tracked to a mechanic workshop like 15 mins drive from where I live. Puposola Street,New oko oba,Abule-egba.

Google premium Times 2021..meiran + uber driver.

XGhost:
Me wey go even de shame to tell some riders where I live so that they can feel better about themselves. God punish low self-esteem. If you see yourself as less, that's how people will treat you. It's not my fault if any rider thinks he's better than me cos he has a desk job and I don't. That's his cup of tea.

Perception is for the person who looks only at the surface. and ask yourself, do you want to be in bed with such a person? I don't because that's already a difference in principles.
If I don't find you engaging, I also don't want to interact with you because we are not on the same wavelength.

You may be right some of us entered this hustle because other moves no work out but, it has worked out for me big time.

In December last year, my parents came to spend Christmas in Lagos. After doing over 10k to and fro gbagada to Berger, my popsy say, money de this thing O. I laughed.

It's summer now, many IJB in town, you'll be shocked how many of them drive abroad but I should be ashamed of myself. God abeg

CheerfulGiver:
Thank God for telegram group. I for still dey here dey argue with former salary earners with low self-esteem.

Newsflash: no one gives a fück who you are or who you were. Find a way to survive and shut the hell up.

The narrative is changing...don't be dragged into the culture of our parents.
They never wanted to hear their children going into sports, acting or music, but today we all know what's happening.

Let's be real...
There are still hungry lawyers and Doctors wey no get money to buy shoe.
Am not bragging but no civil servant on Grade Level 11 (Fed or State) can afford my house rent and send their children to my children's school. This is being real.
I make more than 1m monthly now, and I wouldn't have achieved this if I stayed in paid employment.
I don't know how real u want us to b again, wen bills are staring u in d face but u r waiting for oil company job or nothing. Who no like better thing? d reason everybody wants to work in plush and tuush is for big money and benefits at the end of the day.
Many of my guys are the breadwinners of their extended families, Asin parents, siblings, nephews, nieces and cousins. Meanwhile they have people working in offices in the family o.
Let's cut this crap abeg
