It's a pity

looseweight:


My joy is that regards the number of days he spends there, he is already an ex convict

[/right][right]

He is not yet convicted, that court remands one in prison doesn't automatically make the person an ex convict

Chairman, abeg share this your business idea na. I need other cool businesses to invest in.

6k daily will amount to over 1 million in 7 months. I only buy engine oil and make repairs above 10k. The riders are responsible for repairs less than 10k.

There is no rider that can consistently remit 6k for you daily without skipping or giving excuse some days, no matter how good the person is, even within the 1st 3 months of buying the bike new. Like I said earlier, you can not recoup the money you invested on a motorcycle within 7 months.

As for other better businesses one can do, when you are ready for business, you will have no option than to move out and mingle with real business people.

I started Okada business with my best friend during our ss3. As we finished secondary school, my friend moved to Europe through his brother's , while myself got ission and continued the Okada business, which I eventually grew to an enviable level by the time I was done with NYSC. I left it after NYSC and ed phone and computer accessories at computer village Ikeja. I can't be talking of drivers and their wahala today, when I have things I can import from China and make my money.

Meanwhile, before I finished my NYSC, my best friend who left our secondary school Okada partnership business for me to travel, was already shipping motor parts to Nigeria from Europe. Today, he is back to Nigeria doing the same motor parts importation business. Who have time to talk about drivers and their wahala, in the name of business.

With transport business, you can barely live a normal peaceful life. It's not like the business has a good prospect. While ur mates who are doing real business are buying land and developing it, urself will be dealing with headache from drivers. Na so one of my drivers got involved in robbery with my bike back then, community people carry him and my bike go dump for SARS. If no be the serious police wey I get back then, na so I for lost money or even get implicated in the matter then

While I appreciate your input, you should also know that there's something called Grace. The same business others will do and fail, some people will do it and succeed very well.

To your point, I have only visited the station once because police were demanding for the original copies of the bike papers.
Also, some riders have gotten involved in minor accidents, but that didn't stop the business from running. Like I said, I have my strategy and it's working very well.

My manager has a bunch of riders on standby to take over any bike once there's a default or any issue. For instance one biker was involved in an accident which prevented him from working for close to 2 weeks. But that didn't stop the bike from working as someone else took over.

Lastly, to your point about making back my capital, you don't even know how much the bikers remmit per day, so you are just assuming that I haven't gotten back my capital.

Yes, destiny are never the same. I actually didn't condemn your business, neither did I say that I didn't make something out of it when I did the business as a student. I only said that if you are business inclined, that there are better business with better prospects you would have done with that money, with peace of mind.

Transport business gave me my first real life business experience as an ambitious young boy, but after I finished my NYSC and relocated to Lagos, I always laugh whenever I my transport business days. I did it as a result of my limited business idea back then. I can't imagine myself doing such now.

Talking about having a manager, that is the basic aspect of the business na, except when the business owner is equally a driver himself. I see it as lazy people business, or people with no business idea.

About not knowing how much U are generating from the drivers, I don't know ur state, but it's almost impossible for you to recoup the money you invested on a motorcycle within 7 months, through a driver.

Wishing you all the best in your business

Uchenna10:
I always loose money to virtual, there's this betkiing shop opposite my street, they do other businesses like POS transactions, anytime I go there to withdraw money, I'd end up playing virtual bets.

Lost 30k today, lost 22k on Wednesday...I've been loosing my hard earned money for 2yrs nw in that same betshop.

I'll be rounding up with NYSC next month, no single savings.... I'm tired, dunno how to stop.😩😩

U are living unproductive life. You can only stop when you are eventually ready to be truthful to yourself

DadojoReloaded:


Bike or keke business is good. I'm personally invested in such business. I have almost 10 bikes under my management and they all remit money on a daily basis.
I've been on it for close to 7 months now with less than 2 days of default.

I don't deal with the bike riders myself, instead I employed a manager who is very strict with them.

Any day you default, the bike will be taken from you. In a nutshell, I have my strategy and it's been working for about 7 months now.

You can't give a proper review of transport business with 7 months experience. To start with, you are yet to recoup ur investment capital with that 7 months. Such short duration is equally not yet enough time to experience the full scale maintenance aspect of the business, what U are currently encountering in 7 months is minor maintenance. So ur review is inconsequential for now.

Meanwhile, I'm not outrightly condemning the business for you though, but make sure u are equal to the task. Being equal to the task means being ready for case, because it will be occurring once in a while. If you are business inclined, there are far better businesses you would have done with that money, with peace of mind, and grow it big. I'm talking from experience.

I did transport business through out my school days. I started with Okada business during my ss3 in secondary school and grew it to tricycle business before I graduated from university. I bought my 1st bus for motor business before l left for NYSC camp. Before I finished my NYSC, I still bought Golf-3 which I gave out for taxi. It was after my NYSC that I removed my hand from the business and moved to Lagos.

I wouldn't want to believe that u grabbed money from somewhere and rush to invest on bikes, probably because of what ur supposed manager must have told you. On a normal ground, you suppose to start with 1 or 2, and run it for a full one year before injecting more capital into the business, which would have enabled you to get proper feasibility study of the business.

Ensure you have a serious at police, because you will likely be needing it soon

Funkybabee:
Good afternoon Nairalanders, I hope you all are doing good? Who can share their experience regarding Motorcycle and tricycle given to people to deliver.

I spoke with my mum and she said I shouldn't dare because Nigerians are wi¢ked in that kind of business while speaking to someone today, that one emphasize a lots on it, which is why I decided to come here to hear people experience about it

Can you share your experience when given out a bicycle or even car to deliver money daily but turned sour?

Don't try that rubbish business, unless you are ready to drive it by yourself.

I did the tricycle business during my university days in Awka. Drivers are among the most wicked set of people in Nigeria. They will be humble when begging for you to buy them the tricycle, but as soon as they start feeding well after you must have given them the tricycle, they will suddenly turn to Tiger, and will start seeing themselves as suffering for you. To remit their will suddenly become a problem, stories will start coming.

Funny enough, once you collect the tricycle and give to another person, the stories will likely continue and might even be worse. The 2nd person's story will largely be that the 1st person has k!lled the Keke finish with the way he handled it while using it. Terrible set of people.

To arrest the driver or his surety? That one is another long case. They once stole one of my tricycles back then. Fortunately for me, the driver was already finishing the Hire-purchase. Nevertheless, I still arrested him and his surety but nothing came out at the end of the day.

When I was doing that of okada, which I also did on Hire-purchase base, one of the boys got involved in robbery, luckily for me then, I had access to Police P.R.O then at state headquarters. One of the officers in his office followed me to SARS and brought out my bike with the influence of the P.R.O, while the boy continued with his robbery case. Assuming I had no such then, that's how I would have lost the bike or even get implicated. Let me not mention the few road accidents that occurred during both the okada and Keke days, that one is normal aspect of the business, though capable of skyrocketing ur BP if you are new or a weak type.

I heard that Keke is more than 3 million naira now, I wonder the kind of people who still risk their money on such rubbish business nowadays. Apart from the number of years it will take U to recoup ur capital, the business is equally highly risky.

For hire-purchase, the driver is expected to deposit certain percentage of the hire-purchase price before taking up the tricycle, but is that possible from someone who is dying of hunger and begging you for a means of livelihood? Like I said earlier, it's one of the worse business U will ever invest in, except if you want to drive it by yourself. Nevertheless, you can go ahead and give it a trial, destiny are never the same, and we also learn better from personal experience

This country is messed up

Politicians!
How come he didn't make Anambra the rice producer state during his 8yrs as the state governor

seborrhic:
What's the criteria for just 300k + to retake the examination when the issues were widespread?
This same imbe fixed examination to start by 6am(accreditation is part and parcel of the exam process),when he should know many CBT centres are several kilometres away from residences of candidates and the appalling security situation in the country.
The only honor he should render is his resignation,that is what self acclaimed righteous people do.
His crocodile tears are for show!

In a sane country, he suppose to have resigned by now

Many are mad but few are roaming

DMerciful:
Glorification of someone who embezzled 80 billion sick!

It's terrible. Don't be surprised that this long epistle worship might likely be as a result of 30k monthly peanut they are been paid as media boys

kingsways:
If you compare the situation today with that of 2012, there was absolutely no need to protest

The so-called protesters, where are they now. Are they all dead? That’s the question Obi asked, a valid question

The organizers of the protest are now in power, U don't expect them to organize protest against themselves, opposition are the ones now expected to organize and lead the protest

The boy seems to be more active and fertile than 2Face

ekeneelectronz:


It’s that “Buy To Sell” BS they are doing that is ponzi.

They want to start their own version of ponzi scheme by asking the public to invest in audio/virtual buying and selling of land, bring 5 million and collect 6.5 million after so so number of months. Then after they have gathered billions of naira from people, they will crash the system and disappear like others.

SEC is trying to inform the general public that they are not licensed to run such investment scheme, but U can see the gullible people here trying to defend them, meaning that they know better than SEC, I guess. Nigerians will never learn

Nodogragra4me:



What does SEC regulate?

The Real Estate company you are defending is deviating from the physical buying and selling of land that they are licensed to do, to audio/virtual buying and selling of land, which is the ponzi scheme SEC has warned against.

Asking the public to give you 5 million naira and collect 6.5 million naira after 12 months is nothing but a ponzi scheme. SEC is saying that they have no license to run such, meaning that you can't solicit money from the general public in the name of investment(capital market), without a license to operate in capital market by SEC

Nodogragra4me:




That a business is not ed doesn't automatically makes it a ponzi scheme.



While not holding briefs for Pwan, I can attest to the fact that they own numerous estates within calabar.


I have their hean and their business is a pragmatic one that you can see.


You buy land from them and receive your title documents and if you need to resell, they can help you


You can advance them money to be buying estates and reselling... Just different investment in landed property



They have been to my clubhouse at different times including during our end of year party to make their presentation and And questions on their operations

What does you having their hean got to do with what SEC said? Since you now know better than the regulatory body, what do you have to say about this flyer? Does it not look like a ponzi to you?

Soludo deserves a 2nd tenure. He remains the best among every other candidate in the race.

Meanwhile, APC candidate who couldn't win a senatorial election in last general election is hoping to defeat Soludo in a governorship election

But is Nigeria actually not better off in 1960s?

Wahala no dey finish for this country. Why EFCC? Did he commit any fraud?

It's quite funny how this man quickly switched from Atiku to Tinubu immediately after election

hegelian:


very obvious..wike will be the biggest loser of all these defections

How? Elaborate

I thought he wants to see the end of PDP?

helinues:


They did. I still this particular photo. Abi is the guy also an Igbo too

Make una work on the interiority complex bikonu

Pls what is the outcome of that very case?

Tirshatha:

Henix, the problem with you is you refuse to stand with the truth because you have another motive probably.
My arrangement included commenting and posting winning ticket as long as it is free and that is before any further ticket is given.
Do not call a rattle snake a python neither call a shovel a spade call things if you know them exactly what they are and if you don't seek to be informed before making contributions or queries.

See me see wahala

Meanwhile, what do you actually intend to achieve with the drama? Transparency, U said?

Did Nairaland prohibit you from posting the games here before kickoff? If they did, how come ur followers with their childish drama are not prohibited from posting the ones they are posting for you?

I will really like to know the essence of this childish drama you are forcing grownups into

Tirshatha:

Henix, you need to be schooled that transparency is in evidences not empty talk. The fact that others also played highlights the transparency of what I have done and am doing
Laugh as much as you may, sensible peopke will tell you that the person is truthful, knows his onions and replicates his successes for others.

Who is dragging transparency with you? U have private arrangement with ur followers, why forcing them into childish drama on a public forum? U privately gave them ur supposed games to play, why not respect their right to privacy if they wish not to go public with the gambling

advancing:

Na only mumu dey find praise or comments because of gambling

Of all important things of life ..I should be commenting and posting winning tickets dey play😂😂

Better go help yourself

Lol

When I initially saw the followers doing that, it actually got me laughing. I once checked one of the tickets and saw 1k, abi 2k. I was like, these guys obviously don't have something serious to do with their time, hence the praise singing on top of gambling.

Though I see what they are doing as drama anyway, but I don't the idea of forcing an adult into such childish drama on a public, all because of gambling

Tirshatha:


Henix if your motive is not ulterior, you would have thoroughly gone through this thread and you would see where I mentioned we lost which in actuality I lost heavily not them.

Secondly, the arrangement offline was free with a clause of stating when one won with thanks and evidence(s) and Gabweezy adhered to rules while he(Advancing) was defaulting asking me some other funny outrageous questions privately and receiving the game from me saying in the affirmative concerning playing then after it delivers he starts talking unruly.

I'm of the opinion that the clause needs to be reviewed. Is thanks not enough? It doesn't really sound cool asking an adult to post on a public forum that he is gambling. Whatever he posts here remains here for years, internet never forgets.

On the other hand, what if he is not yet playing the games? What if he is still taking his time to analyze what you are doing before risking his hard earned money? Not everyone is a chronic gambler who jumps on every game he sees without 1st taking time to do some analysis. He might still be trying to study what you are doing, or perhaps the best way suitable for him to go in.

Using myself as an example, If I should pay attention to what you are doing, it will take me a minimum of one month direct observation before putting a single kobo

Tirshatha:
,
You actually don't behave as an adult.
An adult understands and sticks to it while a baby whines about opting for the easy way out even if it is poisonous.

As for your type:what exactly is your type? Ask for games, receive games, be called to play games, be called to comment on winnings? Nah, children are the ones that need nudging to be thankful.

Like I said earlier privately you shouldn't come writing on my thread, yet you have the temerity to write and say I shouldn't quote you on my thread.

Life is simple, seek clarity elsewhere.

Since ur arrangement with them is private, what is the essence of the public drama of commenting on winning? And why is it only winning that they are mandated to comment on?

Since you guys are now acting drama, don't you think U should also ask them to be commenting on losses as well, for the drama to be balanced?

Gamblers and drama are like 5 and 6

SeeWahala:
This op has been opening threads back to back since yesterday, and for what?

Because I am arranging to get him arrested for aiding and abetting examination malpractice on a huge scale by taking money from students undergoing university studies (bachelors and doctorates) to start and finish their final year project and dissertation topics then handing it over to them to take to their various schools to submit and gain points to and graduate.

He is a very bad person who helps people fake their graduation by using external mercenaries to complete academic work. It is against the law. Nobody should beg on his behalf once his name and story hits this nairaland front page.

If you are one of those who has ever utilized his dubious and criminal services in the past then I'm sorry you will also be swept away by the avalanche that is coming to him.

Must you constitute a nuisance before carrying out ur supposed action?

They wan finish this PDP
