Why I Dropped My Degree to Become a Taxi Driver

While some Nigerian women are today afraid of the car steering wheel, others have decided to earn a living in the male-dominated field of taxi drivers.

One of such ladies is Delta State-born Susan Asakpa.
 
“I studied Accounting at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. I worked in a hotel for about three years. There was nothing new anymore, no challenge and the salary was stagnant. Later on, my boss called me up and told me that he will be reducing my salary by N10,000. I was surprised.”
 
“Before then, I have been thinking about what business I can do. I had three business ideas (hair dressing, food and taxi business). I prayed
about them after which I chose this one,” the young lady continued.
 
“I spoke with my dad who happens to be my closest confidant and he quickly got a loan from the bank and bought me this car. He has been so supportive, not a single word of discouragement,” she said.

I was in a car travelling to Lagos. The girls in front of me were having a conversation about their first time experience in a plane... The first girl said , "Kate, you won't believe where me and my boyfriend spent our holidays last month." Kate answered , "Please tell me about it." MARY : We boarded a plane to France. We were in the first class cabin, I was sitting close to the pilot, they were serving us many delicacies like cake, meat pie, red wine, palm wine, suya, roasted yam, etc. Later the plane became stuffy, I had to roll down the window. I saw everybody on the ground, I saw my house, I even saw that your fine brother. KATE: That means you enjoyed a lot on the plane. MARY : Very much! KATE : My boyfriend and I travelled to Canada too. The journey was so enjoyable except when the plane had a flat tyre. We had to park and call a roadside mechanic to replace the flat tyre. Later, we were caught up in traffic. The pilot had to come out to ...

Women not Suya, so no Tasting

Image
PREGNANT BRIDES. Hello sisters, its being a while but can we talk? Yes, I mean now! Marriage is a good thing. Wedding is nice too. But when the bride's pregnant or defiled, the marriage has being dishonoured. The couple has already joined themselves. This is the common trend these days, I don't admire nor applaud it. Be the wife before you become a mother. If you are not aware, hear this now,  Introduction is not wedding... Engagement is not wedding... Dating and courtship ain't wedding... 'Will you marry me?' 'I will', is not wedding. 'His papa and mama already know me' is not wedding. Your fiance/fiancee is not your wife or husband. You don't own his or her body and cant demand for it! Marriage is the ONLY license to have sex....... Make the marriage bed before you make babies.   Stop forcing yourself on a guy by proposing to him by getting pregnant. Girlfriend, you are not suya, so no tasting! You hear me so...

#football News: Barcelona lack Charismatic Leader like Puyol

Image
The Catalans are on a four-game winless streak in La Liga following Sunday’s 2-1 defeat against Valencia and are in serious danger of missing out on the domestic title following their poor run, while they also crashed out of the Champions League at the hands of Atletico Madrid. Former Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello believes Barcelona’s recent struggles are partially down to the absence of a charismatic leader like Carles Puyol, who hung up his boots in 2014. And Capello – who was coach of the Madrid team that pipped Barcelona to the title in 2006-07 after an impressive comeback – feels the lack of a true leader could cost the Camp Nou side. “This time, the comeback has happened really quickly. Barca have lost a lot of points and are now in great difficulty. When we did it, we went step by step, quietly, right up until the last day of the season,” Capello told reporters. “You can’t tell what will happen now and it’s possible that Barca will get back on track, b...
