Nigerian Taxi Driver Bags Suspension For Insulting Gay Partners by Swagavillage(m): 10:02am On Jul 10, 2015
A Nigerian man living and working in Calgary,
Stephen Eze, has faced sanctions for insulting two
passengers who were kissing in his cab.

According to one of the lovers, Nolan Hill, he and
his partner were at Nashville North but decided to
leave Stampede Grounds around 11 p.m. They
headed to the city’s northwest in a Calgary United
Cab. Although Nolan and his partner talked
throughout the ride, an altercation arose when he
gave his boyfriend what he called “very simple
peck on the mouth”.
The cab driver, Stephen Eze was said to have been
upset and disgusted.
Hill said: The cab driver said, ‘No, you can’t do
that in my cab.’ And my friend said, ‘Excuse me?’

“He said, ‘No, two men cannot be kissing in my
cab. It’s disgusting.’ He said if we did it again, he
would kick us out of the cab.”
However, instead of their original agreed
destination, the partners who were upset about the
cabbie’s attitude towards them, decided to alight at
the next bus stop. Hill said when his boyfriend told
the driver they wouldn’t pay because of what
happened, Eze started to drive away instead of
allowing them alight.

“He refused to let us out without paying, which
was the scariest part. So I said, ‘We’ll pay. We
paid. We got out of the cab, and went to find a
different cab. The driver got out and was yelling at
the next driver we were approaching that ‘these
men were kissing, ” said Hill.
“I was just kicked out of a taxi and told that I was
disgusting for kissing another man. I have lived in
Calgary my whole life, and have never been
disrespected as much as I was tonight.”[/b]
CbcNews has however reported that on Tuesday
afternoon, Naeem Chaudhry, the manager at
Calgary United Cabs, announced that the licensed
taxi driver Stephen Eze has been suspended until
August 5.
“He’s not driving with us,” he said. “We don’t
allow (our drivers) to make comments on
someone’s personal lifestyle.”

Once the suspension has been served, the future
of Eze’s licence will be determined at a Licence
Review Hearing. It’s possible Eze’s licence could
ultimately be revoked, or he could receive
additional suspension time or training related to
diversity sensitivity. It’s also unknown whether
United Cabs will allow Eze to return to driving with
the company following the Licence Review Hearing.
When the same sex law was made official in the US
a few weeks ago, it caused outrage in more
conservative parts of the world. The Zimbabwean
president, Robert Mugabe, in criticism of the law
and to prove a point, asked for President Barrack
Obama’s hand in marriage.

I like that Nigerian Man.

A North pole and South pole of a Magnet bonds together. Have you seen where N&N or S&S pole magnet bonds together?

That's the moral decadence/decay the whole of US has brought to the world. One of the reason why i hate travelling to US and instead prefer SK.
