I sent you a mail.

Felicity001:

So if you go for an interview let's say "customer care position" which is one among the most outsourced position in the USA right now and you have experience partnering with Uber for like 4yrs and which is verifiable even with comments from riders you think the white man won't give you the job

Black man mentality is so low. Listen, no experience we human encounter in life is a waste. Value ever opportunity that comes your way because it will build you for your tomorrow

cindybaby22:

What kind of a person are you?
Someone spending money to develop his/herself is wasting of resources?
Do you think it is every undergraduate that will end up working with their degree? I have rev. Father doing phd, another doing masters? There is never a limit to self development.
Your level of reasoning is myopic sorry to say

ornicus:


Sounds to me like you are just taking the Nigerian approach of chasing paper qualifications that you will not actually use in the name of self development.

To each his own.

If you know exactly what you're doing, fine.

ornicus:


My job pays me 200k / month
My side hustle gives me 500k / month

I am not going anywhere in my job, so I am investing in certifications and training. These are not a guarantee of anything, other than hope.

Unless my side hustle is not sustainable, why should I continue to burn my energy on a job, when I can burn it on a side hustle and move to the next level?

What i am inferring is that you can afford to do this because your job is not taking your energy per se.

Now you are seeing what you were missing from my points

This is serious!
You haven't seen people that are working and doing masters? Let alone ordinary certification?

After spending close to 30k for my coro since on Monday, I bought engine seats, hub, serviced the engine, and some other stuffs.

Na so I enter road start work today. First 4 trips all card trips (3500naira) I was like which kind work be this today. About 6:30pm I got a request to surulere from Lekki phase 1. Picked up the rider and we spent about 3hrs in traffic to get to her destination.

Na so I swipe make I see how much be the fare, Ladies a d gentlemen boys and girls na so I see ZERO naira.
Local man was gobsmacked and perplexed. I nearly hit my phone for ground.

Rider carry baby and the baby was just crying, I told her to go that I would sort it out with Uber.
Na so I closed for the day, sent a mail to them and even on Twitter. I'm waiting to hear from them Local man is home exasperated.

This work don cast!

cindybaby22:

You that is not chasing the Nigerian approach of paper qualification what have you invented?
Why are you guys so full of mouth on here?? Haba!!!

izzou:


You are explaining all what was said before

If you go to Lagos Island(Oke Arin), and you see those old women who carry loads on their head. If you tell the woman that she can earn a better living instead of carrying this, have you insulted her hustle?

Uber is really good. A life saver. Uber has helped me in the past. But if someone tells me "izzóu,
let's think of an idea that will help us make more money on uber and we will drive less", what is wrong in that?

Do you understand my view now?

kodred:


I have to commend you for you open-mindedness. It’s something rare. You’d do well to ignore that person as he doesn’t have anything else to do asides being on NL all day. Please move on and keep up the good work!

Chuwaa:


LOL you approach everything from your limited perspective. For your failure, there are other successes and for your success, there are other failures.

kodred:


Everyone gets your view but always remember to each his own. Live and let live.

Tyche:
Let's discuss alternate models, more like blue ocean strategy, for running a transportation business. I am more than willing, to bankroll it, alone and/or with other guys here.

The model should be a win-win situation for all stakeholders.

ornicus:


Let me be cruel and blunt here. If she was destined to be some sort of super accountant, she would be in one of the big four firms. She would be in a firm that pays for her training. She would not have the time for any side hustle, particularly a hustle that is not tied to her technical competence.

IamRx:
Elders in the house.. I think I am here at the right time.

I work in a bank, been there for over 3years as an outsourced staff. Salary has never been more than 65k.

I work Mondays to Fridays, leave home 5am get home 7-8pm as the case may be. Sometimes I do weekends(ATM monitoring).

As it stands, there is no assurance of salary review, staff conversion or promotion.

Now an uncle offered me a direct tokunbo 2005 corolla for 2.7m on HP to give him weekly return of 25k or monthly return of 100k till I offset this 2.7m.

Is it advisable to take this car and go into ehailing. Again if I take the car, knowing that I need to give monthly remittances, how do I meet up when the job does not afford me time. Can I meet this monthly target?

Or do I quit my job and go into ehailing full-time while pursuing professional certification or do I just stay on my job and hope things "might" change?

izzou:


Nobody forced any opinion on anyone. This was the genesis of all these arguments. What is wrong if someone tells me this?

izzou:


You spoke of the vacancy that suits you

If I want to get a job in civil engineering, physiotherapy, accountancy or med lab, how will uber driver for 50 years add to it?

I know this comment is not related to the topic, but I just want to answer your question

izzou:


Nobody is looking down on any hustle.. You guys are misunderstanding the whole issue

Nitigriti just posted how he earns $650 monthly. And three people have showed interest in it. If I have the chance to earn such amount from my bed, or without putting in so much energy as I did on uber, will I not take it?

With the caliber of people here and their energy, there are other things they can channel their energy to that will yield better than uber. That was the challenge

I don't see where anyone insulted the job

ogbuefi677:

I doubt that guy worked at the level he always claims he did.
Always myopic and aggressive in his thoughts and words.
There is no work experience that is useless to any sensible prospective employer,forget the way people behave here Africa is still in darkness.
"I drove on uber for 5yrs" a sensible employer is already responding "if he was able to do uber for that long,means he can handle our diverse clientele well with their different peculiarities".
"I sold okrika under the bridge for 5 years" and he'll be like "this one has patience and can sit his ass down for long as entailed by this job"
