God will surely see u thru bro!

Dis is my story, mayb u can pick courage from it!

I trained myself in d uni via okada, graduated with good result with profnal certs, finished service but cudnt land well paid job. I made a resolution never to go bak to okada, not cos of anytin, jst a personal decision. I got job offers but if d hustle dey ur body u no fit settle for a monthly pay less ur earnings from d hustle. Just like ur ordeal,some of my frnds dat never attended sch had well fed families,had lands,built house with good biz. To some extent, I was discouraged. I was blaming mysef for using my hustle to go to uni instead of investing in biz.
With d help of one of my coursemates, I first ventured into one online biz, made few cash but lost abt a million in a year. For d second time, I became devasted and confused. I had to go back 2 square one...learnt a skill n kicked off a small biz(nylon production). Like play like play d altitude came bak, I ventured into a more bigger biz...As God may have it, in less dan 2yrs I bought my own land, completed our family house and warming up for anoda small structure.

One tin I learnt is, never to give up, my schooling was never a waste, though not employed but it's helping me in biz..,not forgetting I can still be employed if i choose to. Importantly, I neva took to pride cos am a graduate, I humbled mysef. In fact d (foodstuff) biz am into 2da was tot me by my frnd who is not a graduate. I respect him and he respects me too. Some customers here upon learning dat am a graduate become shocked dat a graduate can mellow and do dis kind of biz..but who cares? So long it feeds me well, degree can goto hell. I have not gotten there, am also on d lookout for better opportunities.

My dear, jst stay focused, u will get there one day IJN Amen!

Amen.. again, am inspired

Kingluqman:
You may buy the Okada but please don’t be the one to ride it. Give it to someone, I think the weekly delivery money � s 10k/week depending on your location. Why not POS business after getting the okada.

I don't think so.. reasons; let him give it a trial because based on experience, many have done it that way and are left in regrets of stories from the caretakers of either okada/drivers who will be just and faithful...
So Do The Dare And Scare Off The devil In U.. May God See You Through this Life Tuggle and Struggles

Life is not a place for competition, pray fervently, do whatever your heart tells you to do. Also, it does not necessarily mean that you must work with that certificate, if you find a good business pls go fully into it, as you also look out for a good job. May God bless whatever you lay your hands to do.

Amen thanks

wildcatter23:






Let me weigh in on this matter. I congratulate you on taking a chance on the road to success. The Bible says never neglect the days of humble beginnings.


Well I have a friend who has done so well for himself that started far below your own station.


He started out working in a factory and he eat cheaply and saved every single money that came his way. In time he acquired a motorcycle that he put into hire purchase. He remained committed in his factory work. He bought another motorcycle. The two motorcycle gave birth to four motorcycle.


He moved the money into a golf and went into business for himself. He replaced the golf with a Camry and continued his transport business. Next he sold his car and went to learn a trade. He used his proceeds from the car sales to fund the trade. He exhibited thrift and industry.


There after today he owns houses, cars and what you have but he started his life with just his sweat.

Am encouraged with ur above write up, am sure I will get there one day. Thanks bro

Deborah98:

Amen. Thanks sis

fairygeh:
You shall excel in whatever you lay your hands upon in Jesus name.

LordOfTheGame:
Hmmm bro this your idea of starting a legit hustling is not bad at all but what is wrong is the idea that if your friends can be saving up to 10k for a week then you being single will automatically overtake them. Destinies are different and more so, determination plays a part. You went to school because you were told that's the shortest route to success but now have to face the reality which is life after school. My advice, don't a "flexible" fellow. Be focused and stick to what works for you. I'm writing from personal experience. I went to school because I need to upgrade myself and not because my friends were in school. In fact, while they were in school, I was doing my mason and building works and they were seeing me then a less privileged but unserious person. I had my challenges but today, things turned around as I upgraded myself and my reasoning, I'm far more above some of them now. But in all, let God lead you.
Good luck bro...

Amen. Thanks a lot

Ajibolaowolabi:
May God bless your hustle my brother, what i will say is that make sure you meet up with your timeline and don't extend it beyond your target date because of your health, be focused on it. after meeting your target, you can give the bike to another rider who can still be doing delivering to you or better still you can sell it off to add to the money saved. and another things is that which ever account you are making the savings to, don't collect the ATM card of that account and don't put their app on your phone until you achieve your target.

Noted. Thanks

* buying a bike would have been a great adventure but for your opening remark * cos ur friend who did not go to school.....*
Are u kidding me?

I have a step brother who didn’t go to school but venture into farming and cocoa merchandise (cos that was our father’s work/business)... Now he is got houses huge lands and big cars .... so what?

I don’t have any of the above listed... does that make him better than me ? No! Does my schooling make me better than him ...? Never!! Never!!

That’s his passion and and he find fortune in it...I have followed mine too

My friend... you just came back from service you need to relax and take out time for what will fetch you durable riches and future fortune ...

Why on earth will you put urself on same pedestal as ur friend riding a bike ( do u think he is happy doing that?)

As I can see ... riding a bike is not your genre .. I will not advise you to go further ... but since u have bought one you may give someone for daily or weekly delivery
But for you ...
Sit down and ask urself what u really want to do with ur life ... no man on earth worth your reference... and I mean no man!
you are too much for that ‘thing’ u call house and land... get off my sight jare... you fall my hand!!!

Bro no vex for me, you know we humans we are easily moved by what we see (@the present)

ImaIma1:


What were your plans when you went to the university? You studied a course for at least four years.

Was your plan to finish all that only to come be an okada rider? At least try to apply for jobs and improve your skills.

Your friend's destinies and choices are not yours. The fact that they are making it through okada riding doesn't mean that is the way you have to make it.

Think twice before you go into it because it shapes you from here on out...your mentality, your mindset, your ambition and expectations.

When you start riding, just have it at the back of your mind that it is what you might end up with. What skills will you develop riding okada that will be of help for you to secure a job later.

Please think of the future before making a decision. Stop letting friends' lifestyles entice you. Live your own life.

I have already applied in different parastatals, inec, civil defence, immigration etc even this recent npower not to talk of NGOs. Applications HV submitted are close to 50, HV been invited for some so my sister I actually know what am doing

Positiveme2020:


Buy your bike and start your hustle before you spend all your savings. Goodluck to you.

Thanks bro

lordess:
GOD will bless the work of your hands

Create and Produce Value. Offer it to the right people.
Offer it to lots and lots of people.

Take a leap of faith and make the move.

Never start comparing yourself with/to others.

Do well to educate yourself on practical financial
management.

Read books on entrepreneurship, business, money,
finances.

Build mental capacity. Build performance capacity.

Nothing happens just like that.

Take massive actions. Take responsibility for your life.

Stay Blessed.

Amen. Thanks a lot

NofiuFade:
hope you are not in Lagos Sha because Lagos state govt/task force were seriously clamping down on bike riders, and consider the risk involve' can you try figure out other business??


Those friends of yours don hammer taytay from bike business, it's no more lucrative police and task force will just turn you to their normal ATM, or they will just seize the bike. They even go to an extend of arresting private bike riders...

Don't go that lane bro!

Am in Delta

Writercruze:
My guy, I perfectly understand what you are going through, it can be frustrating. But you are a million times better than your guys who are buying lands and building houses through their every day Okada riding business.

You aren't alone on this, there are several other graduates out there who are facing the same problem. But it's not your fault. It's not your fault that after graduation you are contemplating on becoming an OKADA rider. It's our unrealistic and unorganized educational system I blame.

That's why you will see a graduate of Mechanical engineering who can't even open an engine or tight a bolt. Similarly, I have seen electrical engineering graduate who couldn't fix a ceiling fan. Some computer science graduates in Nigeria can't operate system very well.

So, it's a systemic issue.

But I advise you not to get an OKADA, trust me, it's not what you should be thinking right now.

Let me ask you a quick question; What did you study in school?

Why don't you learn skills like programming, computer engineering, software engineering, mobile engineering, content writing, graphic design etc.

With these skills, you can easily become a freelancer. Talking of freelancer, here's a resources on how to become a freelance ===> https://sidehustlepoint.com/how-to-become-a-freelancer/

If you need more guidance or assistance, drop a comment after reading the article on how to become a freelancer. I will genuinely teach you how you can earn enough to achieve all the things your friends have achieved within a year. And I will teach you FREE of CHARGE. But you must be willing to learn...

I know life after graduation is very tough. But be optimistic, nothing good comes easy. Las las God Nor go shame us ooo.

Am in bro..

Btruth:
I like your courage. And the Lord will see you through all your endeavor in Jesus name.

Amen

justified007:



Why venturing into okada business like them when you can just venture into more dignifying and less stressful business like POS , Bet9ja , business center and computer training school etc ? You will even make more money than them if everything goes on fine

The number of POS spot here is something else, very many. am even sure some of them don't even make any transaction some days

Awoleesu:
My dear,
I understand your frustration. But I'll advice you don't do rational decision! Everything about life is according to time.

Let me share my story with you:

Seeking admission into tertiary institutions in our days was a herculean venture. I gained admission about 3 years after passing out of secondary school. Within the periods sitting at home, I hated myself because even my juniors in school would inform me they'd been admitted to so and so university... and I'd think here am I wasting away! Well, in those periods also I'd unconsciously learned some life lessons that would remain with me forever! - The race is not for the swift! FFwd, today, I am not just a graduate but pursuing my PhD. Most of the guys I thought had gone ahead of me back then are still living with their first degrees!

Then came marriage...
My guys who married around same time as me all had their own cars before their wedding. Bro, I did all things I could to get even a small car too before my wedding, just to measure up... but nothing worked! I even got scammed in the process! But Lo! exactly 3 months after my wedding I was offered a giveaway-priced car! and while my guys bought Hondas, Nissans etc before their weddings, Behold I rode a Mercedes Benz C class in their midst! Many of them couldn't conceal their envy...

Then came owning house...
Again, many of them started building their own houses while I was managing a rented 2BDR flat! 5 -10 years after some of them had become landlords, God picked my call too! I bought a Manor House in a choice area with the option of mortgage or installment payments. My guys came over to see my property and one of them commented thus; "You no dey quick launch, but when you launch ehn, na oppressor "!... It didn't stop there, now as I type, by God's grace, I lord over many landed properties!

So, my young man. God alone gives grace and power to succeed. By strength and struggle, no man can add a single inch to his height in life. Wait for your time! Trust in God and don't envy no one!

It's good you're forward thinking in starting a venture, but I advice you, put the knowledge you have acquired in school to use... perhaps that's what will make the difference. They ( your guys) have spent their time learning the tricks of their trade, give yours too a good shot.

You'll succeed!

You've uplifted my spirit.amen. thanks sir
