TheCar: Nicely put. Study the annual reports of companies. Take PZ Nigeria PLC for example. They were hit real bad. But there has been a rebound for them. My company (dual registered in Nigeria and the US) was hit below the belt. I come from an IT background and delivered a variety of solutions to the FG and a couple of private sector firms large and small including the top tier construction firms. Then things tanked. Even PZ Nigeria PLC had to diversify and change market strategy...and this is how in summary AutoElectNG was born. So I tell whoever cares to listen diversify and never let one income source provide more than 50% of your earnings. 9 Likes |

AutoElectNG: Baba mi, things change rapidly. If you're in I.T or Technology related business, you need to stay updated. Technology is distruping everything now. Even the Lagos Yellow Cab investors take a hit with UBER/Taxify coming in to challenge their monopoly. Now Yellow Cab has resort to violence against Uber/taxify drivers since they can't innovate and now they belong to the past. Understanding your audience, market, customers' income and purchasing power is the only advantage you have over your business competitors. The irony of our Nigeria economy is, factories shutdown and are being bought over by churches. People working in the factory lose their jobs and go back to the churches praying for jobs. Everyone want to make fast money with little or no work, hence the rapid rise of fraudsters and sports betting companies. To stay relevant in business, diversification is the way out. Even Nigeria richest according to Forbes, also diversify to stay relevant. 8 Likes 1 Share |

TheCar: Two parts to the disruption technology and government policy. Uber and London, even uber in other parts of the world. Technology is right now disrupting automotive service. Mechanics are a dying breed. Enter Technicians. Even Uber continually adjusts to market conditions, so I would advice owners and drivers to do the same. E.g., why not use full synthetic and extend oil drain intervals after doing your research? Those big companies are ruthless with their cost cutting measures, so should you. It is easier to keep the money in your pocket from going out than it is to earn an equivalent sum. Finally, be open to diversification. I need not go too far a very vocal voice on this thread has diversified a lot, you can learn from him. 2 Likes |

There's a free taxify code coming out on the 14th. It's called RUSSIAINLAGOS worth 2000 Naira. Enter the code into your taxify app, and let your hair down. Make sure to bring a warmer. It gets cold in Russia. Uber is also offering 50% off 3 trips. Automatically applied. Half percent of half percent is better than 100% of nothing. 1 Like

Food for Thought E hailing business.... Time To Reflect. A wise man once said, "without reflection, we go blindly on our way". Our business has gone through several stages. From the Cabu Cabu era to the Yellow taxi era, then the E hailing era. E hailing came as an unexpected force and we all know that Uber ( the change agent ) has come to disrupt the market. Now initially the going was good. Partners and drivers made good money. Then gradually, fuel price increase and recession raised it's ugly head. Our dear Uber also decided to reduce fares. We all know the story. Now my question is this: Are we really making Profit? And if the answer is Yes, at what cost? Partners, drivers and stakeholders in the house , let's have a honest conversation. 4 Likes |

mrsage: Yes you are very correct my brother... some weeks profit made goes to repairs . This business is up and down..this is the reason I tell partners, assurance, assurance and assurance deposit should be a must.. By the time you put money aside for repairs, bad driver join the equation, raining season add is own ontop ..it is very difficult, but I belife once you can figure out a system to over come the challenges the business will be profitable. But in my humble opinion, the business is not profitable to a lot of people.. As long as new and old partners refuse to put in certain things in place that will reduce their risk ,the business will never be profitable.. Aslong as we don't have a system that weeds out bad drivers, that keeps jumping from one partner to another like the ladies of the night ..the business will not be profitable.. Till than only the strong and the smart ones will survive.. It is a good business, it is a cash flow business.. But owners need to finds ways to reduce their risk ... most uber Partners that refuse to collect asssurance or that fail to put in things to reduce their risk, those ones I can't pity ..due than it is doggy dog eat world.. |

mrsage: The drivers are at the ugly end of this turnaround. They get to toil morning till midnight only to see their efforts swallowed by 'minor repairs', petrol cost and car owner's weekly pay. That's why drivers need to pull together and fashion out ways to reduce this work like an elephant, eat like an ant 1 Like |

kneo: Assuming he earned 35k weekly. 15 months = 2,100,000. Estimated cost of tyres 50,000. ( new 15k and 5k for used tyres ). How about Oil change ? Renewal of Vehicle Papers and insurance? Then the big monster called depreciation? Provision for wear and tear. The lucky Partner actually did not make profit in 15months. 3 Likes |
