Why would you be pricing something you've not even seen or inspected? 1.4m... what if the engine is not sound and owner already agrees to sell @1.4m... first see the car b4 making am offer.

Also, look out for Kia Rio, Toyota Yaris... But your 1.5m won't buy you a Yaris...

Let me give you a free advice of ehailing is what you insist on doing for the now. Go to Owode Onirun, mile 2... Look for a Honda civic with clean and sharp interior with first body pan that wouldn't need any body work. Clean car oooh. Without engine or gear or without both... I mean bad engine and gear. Buy it for 500-700k.

Go to Oyinbo or move the car there, then buy a tokunbo complete engine that comes with compressor, alternator and all for 200k. Sell of the old engine... That will serve for workmanship. Take the car to a car wash.

You'll still have 200-300k left for minor suspension repairs

Guys, I have been noticing something of recent. I see commercial drivers buying boiled eggs in traffic and in d garages. Is there any benefit or advantage of boiled eggs to fulltime drivers apart from the normal nutrition and health benefits of eggs?
Cos these women will boil a bucket full of eggs and before evening they have finished selling it. Personally, I don't understand why people will just be eating boiled eggs like snacks, I think there is something in this practice.
If u have any info or if there is someone u can ask, kindly do and share here for us.
If e dey give stamina for driving or stops sleep, make we know abeg.

Egg is a balance diet, it contains all the nutrients

Protein, vitamins, mineral salt, a little bit of carbs and fats and oil. Egg is a natural energy booster. I used to eat of alot of eggs when I was on rental of 50k per week as far back as 2017. It gives me energy to drive 16hours everyday. (5am - 10pm) without getting tired.

There was a time i had excruciating pain on my legs and feets, the pain was so serious I found it difficult to walk. I went to see a doctor. Medical test was carried out, they discovered I had too much cholesterol as a result of too much consumption of egg. Blood was not flowing properly to my legs due to cholesterol building up in my veins and arteries.

Prolong sitting for hours was the major issue because I wasn't exercising and at the same time eating too much of eggs. Medical reports stated i had P.A.D due to inactivity. Since then i have stop eating too much egg. And I don't sit and drive for hours like before again.

If am to drive for a longer period, I ensure there is intermittent break, after a long trip, I come down from my car walk around for like 10 - 20 mins before I continue work again


When someone is eating too much cholesterol food sitting all day and not exercising like strolling or walking or treking it's very dangerous to health.

It could cause heart attack, stroke, paralysis, diabetes, hypertension, kidney damage etc

I drove on bolt for about six months, those period was enough for me to know one won't achieve something substantial in the moving Lagos up and down.i took the hard decision to quit bolt and startup a business. I can tell you guy, that was the best decision I've made. I haven't gotten there yet, but I'm totally in a stronger position financially, than when I was doing e-hailing. To me, it's not worth it

Please don't say it again b4 you shoot you down. grin

We have a lot of haters of truth here, people that would succeed but won't show their brother how to succeed instead continue giving them fish to eat... One of them is pope191 he's a hater of truth.

this is where cheerfulgiver comes in grin
he pays over a million naira rent.
felicity post receipt.


i dont want to talk about felicity deception in helping a newbie buy a car.
Felicity me i no dey fear Toto Fvck yansh ooo.
u are a business man (predator), dont ever come here to say u are helping anybody again.
do u knw what it means to help??.

see ehn when i speak highly of cheerfulgiver just knw its from the experience i had from him when i was just venturing into this hustle.
this guy called me for over 15mins with his own airtime spoke with me, mentored me, helped me in puting my car on the road and even offered to give monetary assistance if there be need.
that is called help.
not dis crap u are doing to make money (prey on newbies).

let me tell u up till today i av never met cheerfulgiver in person, but knw this, he is forever a legend in my book. (Fasasi1 cant say the same about you)

i dont want to even go deep on how u where hating on him, yet he was triumphing.
man relax retrace your steps, only u always have problem with whoever u r dealing with on this thread. dem take am do u?

Look at this puppet?

I have 100 friends and you expect me to have a smooth relationship with all 100 of them... Fouul.

You have only one friend and you're comparing yourself with a man with many friends to deal with.... Jonnybewise!

Bad news spread like wide fire but good deeds doesn't move an inch.

Read through the threads on naira land you'll see testimonials of people singing my praise all to the Glory of God Almighty.

Everybody knows that you're cheerfulgivers puppet, you would even lick his ass for anything so I don't raise an eye lid when ever you sing his praise. I don't envy him or you one bit.

Yes I'm a business man... Newbies don't pay my bills.

If you or anyone are not comfortable with that please deal with it.

Kiss my as.s modafvckas.

The victim is still receiving drip at the hospital, according to him, the guys even fired a shot at him...thank God for his life.

Night hustle is not for everyone. There's more to it than just driving aimlessly. For the past two months now I've only been working at night except a rider books for offline.

I see drivers in their Corolla Park anywhere, sleeping and I begin to wonder if they know whats at stake.

Couple of nights ago, I parked in front of Brassars place at iralty way, (one thing about me, I always park in a Get-Away position) So I saw this Aboki guy park a bicycle behind my car, I was observing him from the mirror. I got a request from Olubunmi Owa, so I reversed to enter that street, I saw the Aboki, standing beside one corolla, the driver slept off on the trunk, the moment I ed him, from the mirror I saw the guy pack the drivers sandal, hopped onto his bicycle and cycled away. I pursued him with Reverse but he quickly crossed over to the other lane and ran off. I went to the driver, it took me hitting him severally before he woke up.

Now Imagine someone like that, if he's car keys where in sight, anybody can easily push him off and steal his car.

That Olusesi Conservation road, I always see some guys lurking around the entrance of the LCC, sometimes they call you when you drive by with your windows down, I pay them no attention and always at alert.

Normal, na God they save man but make we they add smartness and street . One guy too, should be less than 25yrs from his look, parked his very sharp looking corolla in the middle of Lekki Epe express way, before Ikate traffic light and was looking under the car, in the middle of the express at 2am, with engine running. I had no rider, so slowed down, asked him what's up. He said he's hearing one sound, I told him, you could drive down to Folixx, get a safe spot and check!

If they collect that guy car now, he go be like say them do am bad.


Good observation, good vibes but I want you to also tell us your experience using a totally different car other than the regular bang wagon.

During my active days with my BENZIMA grin (best car for the hustle) yes I make bold to say it.

You would agree with me that you get more cancelled trips at night than day time. Do you know why? No car hijackers want to see a C180 or C200... Like watin him won use am do
.

When was the last time you were harrassed or pulled over by any law enforcement agency, police, LASMA or FRSC... These guys only stop me to beg. Na only Corolla, big daddy, Honda Civic and their likes police dey stop for road for boot and enger check nowadays.

You can work at night without any fear of your car been hijacked from you or sth.

C-class is rugged, strong, durable, has 6-10 air bags- very safe. Engine can last a life time, fuel economy is perfect, parts cheaper compare to Corolla or biggy. Cost of purchase is low for even a clean title. And with farely used you can still get a toks standard btw 1.8m to 2m. Within 3m for a tokunbo.
Budget well to get a good one don't be like the greedy fasasi1 that wants a perfect car with 650/800k grin after one year he will come crying for money back grin

You can park anywhere if car breakdown without fear of any parts harvested.

You have used two cars majorly so I believe you understand what I'm trying to say.

Do you how much fuel is selling per litre now compare to 5years ago I started the business

Are you aware of how many Uber cars that are snatched and stolen everyday.

Are you aware of police, lastma, road safety, vio and tout extortion of drivers earnings on daily basis?

Do you know many drivers that are involved in road accident everyday and their cars damaged beyond repair?

There was someone here who was very much interested in helping newbies and assisting old timers with information and strategies to achieving great profits day in day out in this business but NO certain people were not happy with him and decided to ‘hound’ him off the thread.

Now those same people are here trumpeting upandan about how unprofitable this same business is/was for them and therefore have taken it upon themselves to discourage anybody who even thinks of embarking on this same business. They are still here posting everyday saying the same thing yet some are still driving while others have moved on to something else they don’t wish to say for reasons known only to themselves . . . okay na we dey watch una

A business which steady helps individuals and households to keep body and soul together in this present economical situation that we find the country in today.

How much profit do you think the ‘other person’ doing the ‘other business’ makes in a day? Week? Month? Year? What are his challenges and sacrifices? What was his capital and what’s his current overhead?

No business is risk free or easy in this world.

If I correctly this thread wasn’t created to distract drivers or discourage newbies instead it was created and designed to help everyone involved to grow in the hustle.

If you feel this business is a waste of time and investment then please do the rest of us hard working folks a nice favor by exiting the thread and staying away for good. Nobody likes to come in here and read from you guys who feel that the business isn’t profitable to anybody because it wasn’t profitable for you.

‘You do you’ and let ‘them do themselves’

Everyone should please endeavor to read the topic of this thread once again for guidance on how to post on it accordingly

Very true , eggs are good. ...Wayback I had two boiled eggs and 5 slices of bread for breakfast with hot cocoa.

Ginger helps too. Like one stub of ginger (cut in small pieces ) in 750ml handy warm flask ,3 table spoons of Milo, no milk, no sugar. I use hot water. Around 10am, I start sipping it. Real energizer.
