tinz: First u need understand every business is a long term venture. U need understand the risk involved in business before going into it. You can either lose your money, make profit this are the two possible way a business can turn out.
From my experience, in 2011 at 24 yrs was my first keke I bought which cost about 350k then. Gave it to a guy who ended up having a serious accident with it making me to loose my cash . Fast forward 2017 I bought a bus about 700k gave it to someone who ended up not remitting as we agreed I ended up selling the bus.
Fast forward 2018 started a business a restaurant precisely, at first I got disappointed but with consistency, sacrifice, hard work, starvation and prayer. It finally started making sense, Raking in about 250k profit after expenses.
Fast forward 2018 December, bought a car for taxify everything working fine .
My advice for u is you should try having a side hustle before venturing into any business as business is really a risky journey. Also I would advice you go for a car Toyota precisely due to it resale value or Hyundai elantra 2010 version or a Honda civic 2005 version. But for a keke except you are very convinced that the rider won't fall ur hand oh but I doubt because Nigerians are mostly not worth helping Nigeria People for you it's me, me, and me Sad story 1 Like |

Esseite: Uber is not a business, it's a static income alongside a depreciating asset, it's just to keep you going for a while until you can maintain no more and give up, the feasibility is only sweet on paper and cloud calculations. its not hate, its fact from experience.
Think of a business that can be grown while you grow, you cannot be innovative doing an uber business neither can you grow the business beyond the app owners.
What is with all this keke and uber topics on front page constantly... Can't better initiatives be brought in, such as small scale productions/manufacturing, poultry, animal rearing, fast food, mini importation etc...

rentAcock: If you are debating between Keke vs car, it means you haven't carried out a feasibility study yet. You are only trying to do what everyone else is doing without having concrete figures to help you decide. Oga this question he is asking is part of the feasibility study.

Jestin: Buy a Toyota Corolla and register it with Uber in Abuja and not Benin because Abj has a better road conditions compare to benin. U don’t have to reside in Abuja as the agreed amount will be credited into your account monthly or weekly depending on the agreement. I am from Benin and I know the roads are bad outside the major road. |

CuriousX: Hello nairalanders
I need your advice. I want to do transport biz in Benin. I am considering buying a tricycle and giving it to somebody to drive on hire purchase or buy a car for Uber biz in Benin.
Please which do you think will be more profitable with reasons pls. I am tilting towards keke as I feel Benin is not as busy as Lagos and uber will not give returns like keke in Benin. Thank you all in advance.
Mods I will appreciate front page to get more advice. Don't want to make mistake Hi there! I'm a resident of Benin. It should be noted that keke is restricted in some parts in Benin. For instance in Benin, keke DO NOT ply major roads(maybe it does in Ekpoma, Auchi, Ubiaja or other Edo North area but as long as it's in Benin, it doesnt). The only areas keke is allowed to operate is streets, local areas and majorly streets that are not motorable ie. flooded streets when rain falls, muddy or swampy environ etc.The job of the keke is to convey people from those streets to the main road and na there e end. Well... As for the Uber, you might not make money there, Uber was recently established in Benin not up to 3months here, it hasn't laid full ground here and people complain it's quite expensive. Meanwhile the indigenes prefer Taxify(now Bolt) esp. students. Infact they're making money from people here. So I'd suggest you register with Bolt instead. As for the keke biz, hmmm, Benin has mad drivers oh, they dont care about your keke, they will insult you and your keke just to spite you, infact anytime you see them just clear road for them, if not it will end in tears. Lastly, why dont you do the Taxify thingy yourself? I think its more cheaper and economical to do. Its hard these days to trust people with your money esp. strangers. my two pence tho. 3 Likes |

YungMike: Why not buy Okada? Buy like three or four of it and give it out on Hire Purchase. Since you stated Benin road ain't that good. Okada should be your best bet. All the best.
Meanwhile, If you've anyone traveling outside Nigeria or a Nigerian living outside the country that wants a calling service that'd enable him/her call family and friends in Nigeria at a very cheap rate. Check my signature for contact Banned in Benin because of crime |

Buy any car manufactured not later than 2010 with genuine papers and bring it to Brekete Taxi in Abuja.
