Every day of our lives we see people who engage in driving public vehicles to make livelihood. Politicians, government executives, top business men and individuals with financial strength employ the services of people to drive them.
Have you ever noticed that most of these people employed are males. What could be the reason why females are not employed to drive trucks, or drive top business men or engage in public transportation.
I think we have female drivers that are as good as male drivers, some even better, but in terms of employment in the public sector, we see little or no female drivers.
I am curious to know the possible reasons for this trend . Feel free to tell me any reason you can think of.

I won't even board that car,

Females...don't apply for the job.....

Most companies specify their preferred gender (male) on the advert. So its almost impossible for a woman to apply.

Secondly, most companies, firms and even transportation companies are used to having male drivers. So its safe to conclude that they might frown at the idea of a woman coming on board.

But that doesn't mean that women don't get employed as professional drivers in Nigeria. Some months back, I saw a topic (on nairaland) about a female driver who drives one of dangote's trucks....so nothing is impossible. Just that a larger percentage of them (women) believe that professional driving is a man's job.

We have the notion that driving is a man's job.

No,female is not good for drive,it is the men that is fit for that kind job...that is why they not choose or want female, pls no feamale shd go do that kind job...haba!

That's a ridiculous question.

Its a stereotype we have gotten ourselves accustomed to, if more women come out and excel in it then more doors will be opened for others






Been thinking of getting one
