I disagree with you. I know of a taxi driver who started with one car and now controls fleets of taxi in Abuja. The guy makes over 500k per month on his fleets of taxi alone. Its about being focused and determined.

You also forgot that the banker can be sacked at anytime......

Emmaesty:
Such hasty generalization.

5000x22 working days equals 110,000.

Assuming he works everyday, 5000x30 = 150,000.


Meanwhile for permanent staff, Diamond bank pays 247k, Access bank pays 230, Gtbank pays 209k, Stanbic pays 180k.

With a bank job, there's career growth. But as a cab driver, there's little growth as most of them remain in one spot until they are old and can no longer see in the dark.

This even small in Port Harcourt ... . If the car is ur own and u work for say 8 hours u are show of profit of 7 to 12 thousand per day.... A serious person in 3 years can have then cars on the road bringing 200k per week let's say worst case average of 120k per week that's 480k a month

With this u can invest in a more sustainable business that can set u for life ( pig farming, large scale irrigated farms, real estate, etc)

I just gave you a "Like" for that. Trust me, you couldn't say it any better, On Point!!!

Bank workers wear ties and high heeled shoes and cat walk in AC

that same tie they use in deceiving people and tieing down their destinies!!! Open your Eyes

nmreports:
The drivers in my company get paid 9k daily.
The criteria is that you come with your vehicle and you maintain it but get paid 9k daily. whether you work or not.
As long as the vehicle is on ground.

We are a heavy user of cabs etc so they felt this will reduce cost.
So yes drivers who are smart and lucky make a lot of money. Not only in Abuja.

says who that there isn't career growth,if the cab driver works really hard and he has saved pretty well,cant he start expanding by buying hire purchase,of vehicles,and he puts drivers in charge and they come to deliver to him,either on monthly or weekly as the case may be

psalm121vs1:

The ability to live better is just a state of the mind, it's all psychological and a thing of the mind. Some years back, I had an okada man friend and neighbour who told me he made over 100,000 on the average in a month. I engaged in the discussion with him cos I couldn't understand how 'a mere okada man' could have been living the 'basic' but comfortable life which he was living and I was astounded when he told me how much he earned. The truth is that very many white-collar office workers who appear to live comfortable lives do not earn that much.

The real reason most cab drivers and okada men tend to live shabby lives is the state of their minds; they see themselves as the poor lower class in society and also, as inferior people to the white collar office workers. This mentality drives them to sometimes live irresponsibly and from hand to mouth; peppersouping, bigstouting and ashaworising on evenings and weekends. The fact is that a prudent okadaman or cab driver can live a comfortable life, better than most office workers.

Lol true, but I think that mentality is gradually diminishing, C'mon it's 2016. Where we now have Uber and the likes.

brother in ur quest to encourage entrepreneurship dnt make it, look so easy, and exaggrate it. i am in abuja presently and i can tell u that most taxi driver, are on high purchase, some taxi drivers dnt evn make upto that 5k. u forgot that they also ve their own daily expences nd cost of living is vry high in abuja. a banker that earn 200K can buy taxis and give it out for bussiness.the truth is that white collar jobs is beta than most of this jobs.bt lacks of it, makes us to go for other choices... castigating white collar jobs is like a blind man who becus he doesnt ve eyes concludes, that the eyes smells. evn the taxi driver would ve gone for pensioneer job if oppurtune.
