Lady regrets investing in dispatch business
Identified as @tomorisimisola on X, the lady disclosed that she had purchased around ten bikes and a bus for her business, but was forced to sell the bikes after encountering unforeseen challenges.
According to her, the struggles became overwhelming, leading her to part ways with all the bikes and retain only the bus.
Not too long afterwards, she even gifted the bus to her husband, stating that she could not cope with the stress anymore.
In her words:
"This is basically like running a dispatch business. I had 10 bikes and a bus, my husband had an extra 5 bikes as well. One day, I sold everything and kept just the bus. A few weeks ago, I even dashed my husband the bus, I cannot come and run mad. I saw fire and brimstone. People talking about trackers are the most clueless, all bikes has trackers and all riders were given android company phones. They are just evil."

Commenting on the story, a businesswoman, Justina Okoro, said she has considered closing down her business severally due to unforeseen circumstances that arose.
"It happens. I have contemplated closing my own business several times but I am strong in heart so I always try to come out of that mood. Business is full of ups and downs. Not only dispatch. All businesses," she said.
Reactions as lady shares painful business experience
Nigerians stormed the comments section to react to the post.
Job Hunters said:
"One thing about doing this kind of business in Nigeria is that you have to be 100% street smart. Your staff show to well that you know every gimmicks they will ever pull off. Besides, you need to have hands on experience in that particular business before you’ll be able to handle it well. Someone who has worked as a bike rider before would handle this business efficiently if he has money. Someone who has worked as a pure water motor boy before will handle the pure water factory business well if he has money. Because he understands the in and out. So having a well grounded knowledge on any business you want to engage in is very important."
Abass said:
"Same experience. I got a bike employed a rider for deliveries. This guy will leave our order and be taking outside jobs. I will send him to Yaba, tracker will spot him at Berger. Final straw was when Do2dtun ordered a phone that was meant to be a surprise birthday gift. I decided to outsource our other deliveries for that day, I told this guy to just deliver that, 5 hours later, he’s yet to deliver, Egbon was furious asking for refund, I had to beg him. My rider did not deliver that phone until next morning. I just took my key and parked the car in my house for more than a year, I later dashed him the bike sha. Never again."
Dix added:
"I was here for 6 months, I had to become a driver of one of the buses before I sold them. Opelope tracker, there was a day my driver said he didn't know how a completed exhaust pipe from the engine mouth came off a diesel engine bus (ah! Drivers dey lie ehn!). Na location tracker expose him. He didn't know I have a tracker on the bus."
