Help Lanre replace the gearbox and return to work
Without my motorbike Lanre can't work; a $200 repair would put him back on the road.
🇳🇬 Ibadan, Oyo, Nigeria162 views
I make my living with my motorbike. 6 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. Without the vehicle I earn nothing.
I have been borrowing from friends to pay rent, and now I have run out of people to ask.
I support my two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked ten hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next three months if I can just get the vehicle working.
I have a written estimate from a certified mechanic and will upload it here.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $200 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $70
• Labor charges: $60
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $40
• Towing and inspection: $30
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Good luck, Lanre. Small businesses are the heart of Ibadan. Hope you're open again soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
Sending love, Lanre. I hope things turn around soon. After 28 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to San Francisco so I could bring a meal. Love from Berlin.
praying for you. Hope this works out for you!
sending love. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too
thinking of you, Lanre. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. All the best.
Hope things get better soon, Lanre. Hope you get there. After 26 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
