To those of you still on the FENCE, act now ...For over 3 years I have CONSISTENTLY advocated that driving FULL TIME will lead you no where, pope and his minion had consistently attacked us for it but I know it's no brainer..Get a skill, get education, get a job, up-scale, pray hard, work hard, be family oriented (taking care of your love ones attract some kind of blessing I can't explain), delay gratification ( no club, no olosho, only like-mind friends), be gracious...You want to drive Uber, do it as a side Hussle, to and fro to work solve your fuel and minor home expenses..I used to do it and it works like magic....We were not stingy with how we did it, I bare it all here but the uber-preneuer and those looking for innocent people to use as slave driver attacked us daily..Me wey I know their family history...now that devaluation has eroded the little profit they claimed to make and hunger which is yet to even start sef, you want to blame innocent BAT...The innocent man that told all of us he has no PLAN. Why asking him for his plan?
Today, I'll be a bit busy, it's month end and I have payroll to work on....P and L still not done...scrap-man won't understand this ...Let's all see by 2pm local time ..Hope y'all haters can wait!

It seems like you're quite confused, and I can see why some people might criticize your perspective. Many of your statements seem to come from a place of ignorance and bitterness.

Let’s set the record straight:

Driving is a skill, and drivers are human beings who play a crucial role in society, just like those in any other occupation.

I know corporate drivers who earn more than your accounting job—since you mentioned P&L and payroll. According to Payscale.com, the average annual salary of an accountant is ₦1,246,319. There are e-hailing drivers I know who can earn this in just four months.

There are also drivers who are well-educated (even with bachelor’s degrees) and family-oriented, thriving in the e-hailing industry. Some started with a single hire-purchase car and now own more than three vehicles and continue to expand. Isn’t that a form of growth?

Devaluation doesn’t just affect drivers—it affects everyone who earns in naira. Unless your accounting job pays you in USD, you’re impacted too. So stop with the ignorance and bitterness, and enough with comparing full-time driving to a 9-to-5 job.

Yes, driving for long periods has its downsides, but the same can be said for staying in a job for years. I know people who feel trapped and depressed in their 9-to-5 jobs. The beauty of owning or running a business is having control over your time. You can choose when to work and take holidays as you please. That kind of freedom isn’t available in a 9-to-5.

I come from a corporate background and have held top positions (still do), and I tell my drivers, business partners, and other entrepreneurs that I envy them—not for the money they make, but for the time they have for themselves.

Lastly, how many wealthy people do you know who are tied to a 9-to-5 job?

As long as you are happy in your profession, it puts food on your table, and it’s enough to take care of your family and loved ones—you are doing just fine.

And you have been shalaying since 2: 55am to 4:16am 😂 no rest for the wicked. Isaiah 48 : 22. Dapo I won’t place curse on you, at least not yet. Else, peace of mind will elude you for the rest of your life. Like wanderers, you’ll keep wandering for no reason. Note! I say not yet, just keep letting your cloud of rain to gather till I fully unleash on you.


Driver! Driver!! Driver!!! I didn’t even want to touch that, because it is baseless. Crazy how your app maybe on now, while I am still in bed, using my meditation time to reply you. When you get to your riders place and the person tells whoever the driver is here. Tell them no! It’s the accountant, not the driver. Can you see how f**lish you’ve been ranting?

I am a driver and I hold my badge with pride. A successful one at that and I don’t even drive much again. The hustle is behind me, the days of driving outweigh the days left behind wheel as ehailling champ. God spare my soul, could careless about yours (I don’t play pretense around animals).

I have siblings, non is into ehailling. Same you have a brother on ehailling and a friend. What have you done to elevate them? Same hustle you try to bring down at will, yet your app can’t go off in a day. 2 face, a mentally unstable and reprobated mind put up a house, they called 22m and he is yet to show the concluding part of the chat. What a silly ba*ger. I am done measuring d*ck here, said that long ago and my life or next move is never for public consumption in anticipation to be seen better. Take a look at nairaland, you’ll barely see me comment on any post or trend than ehailling. The purpose is to elevate and not to bring people down.

My stand on ehailling will always be as a means and never the end. Anyone that have the means to japa. When I say means, not just finance, should not hesitate. Even with the so called site you upload (yours or not), people are selling to go have sanity elsewhere.

Honestly can’t stop laughing at your f**lery Dapo. The same government you’ve seen nothing wrong is happening to you (react before thinking baby). Anyways I’m in my 30s today, you know your real age. I don’t have time for throwing unreal tantrums. If you think I attack people, maybe you should name them and what transpired. Donbrowser has been on is support for long and I respect his views, even if I don’t buy to it. I’ve never been keen on this government, but my realities are same like you and any other. Abi you they buy fuel and food stuffs below price for anywhere? You don’t join queue. You’ll feed me and I don’t know where my next meal will come from? 😂 Dapo Abeg use your medication before you leave house. Hope you don get ride sha? Safe drive and don’t beg rider to join them again. Dapo of Afrika! The only driver wey rider order, still come ride with the rider as rider. 3 gbosa for you Elede!!!

Conner44:
donbrowser I sight you o 👀 how far na? We don finally see who you better pass for here

Run come see person wey wan build house wey no get voters card and him follow us dey this same obodo 9jariya oh

He is going to apply for his card so as to dash tinubu his vote in 2027 just to teach drivers here political lessons 😀

Come and carry your latest convert

dapotemi:


Bro Lekan, midnight is not for sleeping and making babies alone... Sometimes, we use that time to THINK, MEDITATE, READ, PREPARE REPORT! You can even do movies and it's d best time to PRAY due to the serenity...
You cannot relate abi, Lekan, hence the poverty...You have been in ehailing since it launch over 7 yrs ago ..Find something else to do. I will retire you by force ..You must go to sch....drive olosho from morning till night dey share shameful experience..na only you remain for ur set now, GRADUATE BY FIRE!
See wetin bible talk about people wey dey snore here

dapotemi:


I will reply you with decorum because you've just done the same..I do not VOTE! ..Tinubu already happened to me because of the naira devaluation... Everyday, I THINK of how to wriggle myself out of this conundrum instead of whining and crying over a bad situation, I THINK! Do you know why some of us can still eat that 3 square meal? Na because we dey plan, we paid the PRICE, we delayed our GRATIFICATION! Even in d days of PLENTY, I TOILED!!!
Do you know what it means for someone with an ACA to drive Uber why his junior colleagues we're ordering Uber to and fro to the office....I grinned, I silently paid d price...Pope will not get anywhere in life because he can't pay d price... Unfortunately for him, he thinks being an ordinary driver is d price.Yes, I called him an ordinary driver because that is what he is...Do you want me to call him what he's not? You better don't take this people serious, I know them very well..Before Dem write here, Dem go first discuss for the WhatsApp group, who they will attack, who dey will like, me I be thorn for their flesh because I can FEED them! Pope is not greater than my dog at home, and na me dey feed am...
I am already negotiating a building project with a nairaland engineer, he will deliver inshallah while Pope remains an ordinary driver blaming Tinubu for his self inflicted suffering..Mumu man.
#Tinubu is happening to us indeed...

pope191:


I wish any of this was your case, it’s obvious the truth I hit you with is eating you up. Like I told you Dapo I am not ready for childish tantrums or baseless talks. That’s for people without facts. If you are for real I’ll break my protocol on this. Load your account balance and let me do same. Not my name is not Lekan. I don’t like chili cho, but workers.

You are talking about mental health and you’re yet to have 4 hours sleep in the last 24 hours. Dapo I feel for you and important you know this. You no get money reach me. I dislike this material aspect of show off, but just take note.

Pearl1910:


Do u see how upset you are because Pope insulted u... That is how upset a lot of people were [b]when u said Tinubu has not changed anything t[/b]hat people have been suffering since 19kokoro. You touched nerves and that was very insensitive

A little self retrospection would have helped u talk better and be more sensitive of people's plight. Everyone is taking on d challenge of surviving and moving forward in these hard times, however they want to vent and lament allow people to express themselves.
In one breath you are saying u are still struggling in another breath u are saying Tinubu govt is not affecting you. Well that's your opinion, albeit, it is clear its a false one.
If what u post here is true, I remember u were adding 1 car to ur fleet yearly between 2019 and 2022, u have also been on a building project for as long as I can remember. You always buy toks, but today u r asking questions about Naija used car for 2.5m and builder is giving u 22m to do block work and roof only.
Before 2019, 22m will build u two houses and 2.6m will buy to a sharp toks RX300 or Toyota Camry Muscle. I am pretty sure your salary + income from side hustle has not increased by more than 50% of what it used to be but every single thing in the market has tripled since 2019 till date.
How can u in your own right personal judgement, sound the way u sounded and expect people to tell u well-done. Except u never had or acquired the things u say u did or u are plaqued by the sickness of tribalism and bigotry. U may not want to accept it but that's the truth.
Nobody is upset with u for supporting Tinubu, some may be disappointed, but largely people are used to it, however u where inconsiderate to what people are going through and the reality on ground today.

By calling someone an ordinary driver when I urself are one.. . is evidence that u may probably not be mentally stable. The house u have not started, many drivers on this thread have completed their houses long time ago. There is nothing u have, that a driver in this thread, have not achieved in life. I did ACCA far back in 2013, PMP in 2014, CBAP 2017. What makes u think in your tiny brain that u are even an inch better than an average driver. Is it because u have a 9-5 job, u travel on office paid trips around Nigeria and that u are building a house Even your MD/CEO is lamenting about the economic situation if not openly but silently and is probably considering how he will downsize to remain afloat and u are here ranting about getting a job and insinuating that somebody that has a job is devoid of complaints and is financially free. Sorry to burst your bubbles but u are on an imaginary horse, u are still on the same class like the ordinary driver, trying to spite Pope by calling him a driver is cutting off your own nose, it is self destructive. You aren't any better, so humble yourself and think like the educated man that u are.
This is not about politics, the urge to feel better than another man or the need to put another man down is witchcraft.

Pearl1910:


Pope forget, it's okay... U sef don talk say person wey dey fight with mad man, na mad man. Why are u arguing with someone who u say has a mental health challenge.

donbrowser:


Why una dey mention my name for matter wey no concern me?

Just shocking to see that Pope that callede 26 years old is my age bracket 😂

Omoh! Even stooping so low to do account balance challenge. This thread will unleaded the beast out of you.

Same way pearl dropped all his logic and maturity and started shouting LASEPA, Poland, etc the other day.

Pearl1910:
Quiet frankly, last election was not about Tribe or ethnicity for many people but for some Yoruba people. The Hausas do it and we don't really blame them because of their level of education and exposure.
I don't need to highlight that Igbos have always voted for Yoruba and Hausa when the candidate was more credible than the Igbo man in the ballot. Underline the word more credible.
In d last election it was clear that the Igbo man on the ballot was more credible and hard less baggage than the Hausa or Yoruba man.
Even many Yoruba and hausa people voted for the Igbo man.
So u can't gaslight the Igbo man for chosing PO. Rather till tomorrow, decent people should be apologizing for their role in supporting a person with many question marks on his head. just because of tribe or personal gains not minding the bigger Nigerian society.
The APC as a party was weaved with the fabric of sectionalism and thread of regionalism. Tinubu said emilokan, awalokan, and as a Yoruba person, if you are not in APC, or support Tinubu then u are not Yoruba enough, u are an omoale. now tell me what more can be defined as a tribal party or sectional candidate?
Let's not go into that, we are experiencing the hash reality of our rash decisions since 2015.
Even Onokpasa, a strong Tinubu supporter and spokesperson has recently conceded and turned critic that Tinubu is not going about the economy the right way.
The story for today is don't think u are better than ur neighbour simply because of societal class of having a 9-5 job or my pay is big. It's nauseating.
Many young boys and girls are making ur yearly income in a month doing seemingly odd jobs. The world is changing and its moving fast away from the conventional thinking that u hold dear.

There is no expose anywhere except your own imagination...If you're not mad yourself, what ever he says to me does not matter but whatever I called him matters..you see yourself, well I have been on this thread long enough to know some of you very well, you live and dine with evil and you have no iota of justice in you except frolicking with people who do not know where there next meal would come from... He's just a driver, a cunny one at best! He won't be more than that! Yes, I have never VOTED in my life and may God judge me if I lie about that,and if it's the truth, may you never be fortunate in your life and may all you have or wish for perished in front of you, may you come to nothing!! I will talk to you ONLY in the language that you understand..
I'll dust up my card and give it to Jagaban if I want and if he will help me do one thing, punish you fools who can't think out of the box..

pope191:


I no deh for politics, but more of human. You said something about the people that did not vote yesterday. Maybe I am part of the problem, but deep within APC is going to win the election. I honestly avoid sharing political view with people, because I feel everyone should be entitled to their view like religion and live and let live.

For someone to say there’s no difference between this government and previous one, even when presidency admit it’s just a baby step. 😂 that person is a mad person without mincing words.

donbrowser:


There's no way you will talk politics or try to defend Peter Obi and you don't sound dùmb. I've always told you.

Only 2 states in Yorùbá land gave Peter Obi the entire votes that Tinubu got in the whole South-East yet we are the tribalistic ones because we stood for what we want?

How does that sound to you? Dùmb innit

Pearl1910:


That ur big triangle head is full of water, u can't comprehend a simple article or essay.
The reverse is the case, u can't defend Tinubu or APC and not sound foolish.

Pearl1910:
Last last everyone is entitled to his opinion or statement... But don't blame people or insult them for addressing you the way your statement makes u sound.

PS. In context (Image attached): Out of 400k voters, only 4.7k voted for Tinubu
But out of 200k voters about 11k voted for Obi

And Yorùbás are the tribalists?

Last last una go give me my medal for this thread. Pearl has now gone from talking sense into people to respecting people's opinions. What a day to be alive

Why not take into consideration that Tinubu is from the ruling party?

Abi that one no count?
