How many of them will think that far?

and how many bank staffs do u think actually gets a happy retirement. .never underestimate anyone bro..young shall grow was once a vulcanizer..and a conductor..u know the rest

This is the mentality that enslaves people to paid jobs. I know hired taxi guys who operate only at night to carry drops, ferrying people from house to club, club to club and from club to house. You can't pay less than 1k to go from Wuse 2 to Gwarinpa. Such guys make up to 10k just working from 10pm to 3am.

Then there are those who run airport taxi runs. They can make up to 10k a day.

The plan is never to keep driving until old age sets in. Many of them acquire more vehicles and give out. A carefully structured taxi business can bring the operator up to 5 or 6 cars in a 10 year period. Peace Mass Transit started with the main man himself driving his one single bus from Enugu to Nsukka and back starting in 1994. Now 22 years later, is he the one driving his more than 10,000 buses?

For the bank worker, they think they are on top of the world until the dreaded sack letter shows up. Then they suddenly find they have no skills, no business acumen, NOTHING, NADA, ZILCH! I know many of them.

So between the taxi man and the bank worker, who is really on top?

Nice analysis you've got there. Success depends on the individual. A cab driver can expand and a banker can resign and start a business or rise to the top.

Remember, not all of them will think that far.

THOSE BANKERS THAT TAKE TAXIS TO WORK

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.

u forget say taxi drivers de invest dia money abi?

I'm not underestimating anyone here. The thread places cab drivers over bankers and in my first analysis, I only tried to prove that some bankers earn more than 5k per day if you divide their monthly salary by 22 days or even 30 sef. Please don't get the wrong idea.

They probably meant bank contract staff.

Why referring only permanent staff as bankers? You can't just referring temporary ones as non-bankers just because they are victim of circumstance.

Tellers, TOs etc resumed the same time bankers resume and they close even late: they have no time for any other activities apart from their banking job.

Now are these people better than taxi drivers in consideration of meager salaries they are being paid? We need objective and empirical analysis please.

rollingfellas.thanks for ur understanding, the truth is that am not an advocate of entreprenues or white coller job.rather i am an advocate for both of them, i strongly believe that a civil servant can also invest in bussiness and do well there.i always encourage people to have different sources of generating income, one source of income is not reliable and i dnt encourage it.

Emmaesty:

who said bank officials do not invest? Just trying to bring to your notice dat investment is carreer progression for the taxi driver/business man. Abi u xpect them to keep driving only one taxi for forty years?

There is also career growth in cab driving.....
Is all about vision, focus, determination and overall God's grace......
I knw some bankers that are not well to do, I also know some cab drivers that have expanded nd are now into transportation business ie the have buses....
So it's all about those factors I mentioned......

My dear, the title of the thread is a false generalization. It brings the impression that bankers are poorly paid. I brought up the permanent staff salary to prove that bankers earn more than 5k per day.

Putting a cab driver above permanent staff which includes assistant banking officer, banking officer, mangers, e.t.c is just absurd.

Though, I have to admit that contract staffs are not paid as much as permanent staffs, but there is still a chance of conversion.

The 'mentality' is the only reason why cab drivers are in the lower cadre of society. Now the bolded part of your message is a clear example of this mentality I talk about. "I am a poor taxi driver, I can never make it in life or live as comfortably as white collar job workers"... "I am a mere taxi/bus driver, I am economically stagnant and can never move up as long as i remain in this business"

But again, it's all about the mentality, it's all in the head. Who says there can't be career progression for a cab driver?... Companies like ABC transport did not start with 100 vehicles. Most taxi drivers start by driving someone's car and end up paying daily or weekly or monthly royalties. After paying regularly for a stipulated period, the vehicle becomes theirs. When the car becomes his, that is a first step in career progression. For a prudent driver who saves up, buys a second vehicle and gives it out to a driver who pays him daily or weekly or monthly royalties, even whilst he's still driving his own cab, that is another step in career progression. It could also get to a point where the driver then has several vehicles and receives multiple royalties, he decides to stop driving (if he wishes to) and sets up a taxi company like UBER taxi etc.

So in summary, there is vast room for career progression in the taxi driving transport business, but it starts and ends with the mentality of the individual.

Who bank work don epp

Dumb niggis calculating a cabs man worth monthly,but cant afford to pay for a legit sub of 5k monthly Internet data. Dumb niggis too many on Nairaland.

I know someone with bsc that's running Kaduna to Benin with his personal sienna
kd 2 benin is between #4000-#4500
let's say #4000*7=#28,000
minus #6,000 for fuel
park changes 3k
police check points like 1k
that's like 18k daily......
sorry is your name if you give your bus out to someone else

RollingFellas:


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......

As it's now, First Bank will retrench abt 1000 staffs b4 d end of 2016. Education is becoming more meaningless in Nigeria, day by day... It's just a pity.

Chuksemi:
Kai, bankers have suffered. Very soon, even bricklayers, plumbers and the likes would say they earn more that bankers.

Ordinary taxi driver kwa?

Mumu dey smell,so for ur mind because taxi driving is a dirty job it is also ordinary.o ga gan o

There are some cab men living very fine and doing comfortably well than some bankers and vice versa. It all depends on the level you.


On an average, most cab men earn better than bankers. Be it contract or permanent staff. I know of a cab man building his personal house in GRA with his earnings from his cab service. He lives very fine. How many bankers can boost of their personal houses? Very few.

Nigeria has grown beyond the point of people admiring you by the flamboyant dress or cloth you wear every morning but by what you make make out from life. I'm not against white collar jobs but most of them especially banking is a slavery. They suck the juice out of your life and dump you when they are through.

200k a monthly salary in Nigeria is nothing man. I don't care if you are coming out of abject poverty. 200k is just above 2 million naira a year. Save all you like in 5yrs it will dawn on you. It is nothing so you guys should stop emphasizing on the figure

RollingFellas:


I disagree with you. What do you understand by career? And what does career growth means to you? Agreed every businessmen experiences ups and down in business. When does a business makes sense?...lol...Do you know that career growth to you may mean something else to another person? When the cab driver confesses that he makes a lot of money than an average banker, he makes a lot of sense. Those major transporters that churn out millions monthly, don't they have 'career' growth? Transportation industry thrives, despite its risky terrain. The man that owns fleet of cabs and makes average of 500k monthly even has a registered cab company. Banks are always eager to dish out loans to him and he also has staffs he pays.

Its high time our youths begin to change personal orientation about this white collar job thing.....and also, business and investments are pensionable. If you doubt it, please speak with pension fund managers....

Agreed! I never mentioned anything about white collar been d IN thing, I was only pointing out to you that for d fact that Business is moving does not mean dats a Career growth. Business might be moving and career is redundant and stagnant. And about transportation issh, u are right. I was just correcting the nairalander that started dz our Sub Thread dat Transportation and Logistics is one of d hottest in the game presently and someone who is a cab driver can actually build a very comprehensive Career from such. Cheers

I'm into cab service here in Lagos. I must agree the business is profitable.

It's all about how you manage your business and planning.

Cab guys make good money.

The title should be cab guys make more money than some bankers.
