Mayor555: My brother if I tell you ....I understand ordinary Nigerians very well too well ,from personal stories to stories from others.. Let me tell you my own story ....story story story story o.... I started investing in Nigerian in the early 2000.. This is when the Lagos government was developing Ajar,lekki and sand filling the area. So I decided to invest in Tipper business and bought about 7 Mack dump truck within a period of 2 years. Mack trucks were cheaper during those times. It cost about 550k naira to clear a 20ft ton dump truck at that time ,now is about close to 1 million . So I called my childhood friend and I explain to him what I wanted to do . So we set up a company and I made him a business partner. I gave him 40% of the company and I kept 60% of it . Long story short that business was a disaster, my friend could not manage the business, he complain that he needed a car to monitor the drivers. I bought him a car tokunbo car ,but stories kept coming, he couldnt account for the money , I went through hell during those period, because I collected loan for those trucks .... It got to a point that I had to get my family involve, for me to collect my leftover trucks. When my family found out I was mocked at and made fun at. I was told that you don't leave a business with Nigerians and expect things to go well. This your friends has never struggle for money before, how do you want expect a person that has never made a million naira before to handle that type of money . And at the time those trucks were delivering about 50k naira a day . Each truck delivering 50k naira a day times 7 ,you do the math.. So my family now got involve, before that I had to pay for a lawyer and he was arrested ..He slept in Jail for three days .. Than is older brother had to bail him out and sign an undertaken to resolve the issues. So when both family sat down to discuss the situation.. They ask him where are the trucks ? He said he sold them all and spend the money etc .. So the family said they will settle for 1million naira to give me .. Which is nothing, that 1million naira took about 1 year plus for them to pay. It got to a point that they stop paying money and I arrange for him to get locked up again. So in order not to give their mother high blood pressure and avoid policemen embarrassing them at their homes again. The two older brothers finally paid their last installment. Now a lot of you guys might say this. That the guy was new into the business and there are Challenges in starting a new business etc. But few things that I found out during those period .. I will not get into details, but I hire an investigator to monitor him .. Stories were getting to me that this guy got a girl pregnant and had two kids etc . Which he didn't tell me , when he was dating his baby mama he bought her things clothes and showered her with gifts etc. He was known around the area has a big boy . He was telling people that he owns the business etc . And I was told he will just enter bar and pay for drinks for everyone.. They said the boy was a big boy o . The one thing that made me to take action before I hired someone to spy on him .. Facebook .... Out of boredom I starting looking at his Facebook page. I saw in posted up chilling in clubs drinking and enjoying himself but mean while, his friends were telling me that this guy spends money anyhow .. He was the talk of town and he was a big boy o .. He was still in his middle to late 20's during this period..... After the whole situation I had to lick my wounds like a wounded lion. I had to figure out how to pay back my loans and deal with the embarrassment. Before it to police matter I beg him to return my trucks. He kept coming with excuses , I spoke to the older brothers that I don't want my family to know about this. But nobody took me seriously, because I was not in Nigeria. I had to use my connects and spy to monitor him and get him arrested. When his family house got raided by five policemen. His older brother now knew that I meant business.. They were surprise how a guy that stays in the USA was able to pull this thing off .. It was a huge embarrassment for the family .. And doing the arrest period ,I had a lawyer standby. And before any of his family could bail him out he had to write a statement about what happen, which he than admitted that he sold all my trucks.. They family couldnt do nothing.. The brothers had to stand for his bail ,before that my lawyer made sure that she knows the addresses of his brother and work place . This whole drama was like a made for tv drama. Now till now the guys still stays with his mommy and he can't hold a job.. I was told by another source that he needs my help since am into the uber business. I told that source that I will think about and get back to him. But as the saying goes ... " Fool me once shame on you , but fool twice shame on me ." Conclusion: Mr. Mayor555 trust me I know how ordinary Nigerian behaves, I have experience and seen all those behaviors myself. And I have watched others go through worse.. @Mayo555 people like you will never understand people like me , but I don't expect you to.. But I clearly understand people like you .. You have never walked a mile in my shoes ... 13 Likes 2 Shares |

I'm 21, and I don't regret wat im doing right now cus I know where I was sum years ago, i drive crazy hours like im on HP cus I knw where I want to be in few years.... #WorkAndPray 15 Likes 1 Share

Monkeyprick: This forum is for both drivers and owners, both need a price that will pay both parties, l drove in Nigeria to test the market in Lagos, N35000 is a fair price for rent, but maintenance must be the owners responsibility 100%. Both riders and drivers ought to progress, in business. Below is my UBER earning for London, Monday to Friday morning, still expect to make another £600, by Sunday evening , car rentals is£250 weekly and buy petrol of £120 and city of London congestion charge 1 Like 1 Share

Felicity0001: But why should the drivers sickness be his business, once you sign a contract you know the score, l rent my car from a car rental, he will be stupefied if l give him such a nonsensical story, He has bills l also have bills, if you need a rest or holiday you pay upfront or as when due, that’s the way it’s done everywhere, Be fair but firm, If you don’t wanna be ruined, no sentiments in business o!!

Felicity0001:Ive been in London for ages, was fending for myself since 20yrs you either work or sink. As for those of them refusing to take adequate rest, that’s their own failing, and perhaps regulators of Transporters, UBER for example limits your driving to 10hrs, we are advised to take a rest of 6hrs, but l want to relocate bck to Niger na, so l go on Bolt to achieve my target of £225 everyday l am experienced, l know when to take a nap, but God forbid if man come get accident Nko, Who dey at fault. Drivers should know them selves and stop blaming the world for their own failings. 2 Likes |

dru23:My friend when you have lived abroad, and worked at all jobs, all this nonsense spewed by Nigerians won’t impress you, there are many European graduates from East European countries working here, doing what needs to be done to get by, l am not saying we are lazy, but some are just outright lying cheats and full of complaints. You should see hit Oyinbo’s and Chinese people work, A lot of East Europeans work in Nigerian restaurant, some can make Amala, can’t make our soup o, some even clean the house and nanny our children, graduates o.
