It was 7:30 am, Mrs Elizabeth Sola had just dropped her son at school and was about to start the day’s work. Her ride-hailing service begins the moment she drops off her son at school.
The mother of one stated, “I ventured into the business sometime last year during a crucial time in my family. My husband and I were going through a tough financial phase in the home. I have a shop where I sell fabrics but the proceeds combined with what my husband earns weren’t enough. Personally, I wanted to make more money and I know that having multiple streams of income was a good decision.
She added, “People always say it is nice making money from one’s hobbies. Driving is one of my hobbies. I have loved it since I was a little girl. I didn’t have a teddy bear or doll as a toddler; I had one toy car after another. She said, “I lost my job and I needed to have a stable income. I had just got the idea of starting a ride-hailing service then. I checked them up on the internet and read about the business. I examined my chances and realised I wasn’t doing badly. In the first week, I thought it was luck but I soon realised it was worthwhile. It later dawned on me that it was a big deal. It’s been meaningful since.
She said, “I am not sure if it was a right decision but I knew that the salary I got as a private school teacher was not enough amid the country’s economic crisis. I knew I needed to do more, however, I didn’t know what business to do to make money.” Sola said the experience had been interesting and she doesn’t hope to stop the business anytime soon.
She, however, said she had been able to win them with results and had mastered art act of taking charge. “I am usually firm in telling them that I know my job and that I drive for a living and they should let me do my job. Over time, I have shown them by results that it’s my job and I have become friends with a number of them.”
Sola linked the money she makes to functionality of the app and customer’s location, noting that daily she makes an average of N15, 000. Iruobe said her story was motivating because she started the business to add money to her income, noting that it had become her major source of income.
