Pls am a graduate for over 4yrs now and no job. But an an hustler in the filmmaking business in nollywoos(an upcoming actor) and am hustling under private mobile transportation in Lagos State,under Bolt(Taxify)app,but unfortunately the owner of the car I rented in doing the business was not honest,instead was cheating on me,cos it was a rental service we both agreed. Now I have no car to work with and my film job is just once or luckily sometimes comes in many times,but it’s not a must reliable job,cos one can stay for a while month and no production will pick him for a role or even extras is not a standard role too. As for the transport business,it’s an everyday or hourly income,pending on when u on your app and ready to work from everyday to every evening of each day u set out from your home. It’s a business u so much have confidence of making 2.5million naira in 2 and half yrs,if am being loaned 2million naira. Film making job comes like a jackpot as well as modelling jobs too,cos am an actor,a model and also features in musical videos and am well paid if I get Tv commercial model jobs
