Lots of women drive truck in the US, whats the big deal

they are women who drive the train in England

Yes OOoo women are trying dis days, most Women r bread winners of d house today,

The big deal is dat anytin a man can do, a woman does it much better. They r d engine room, give it up 4 dem.

The truck seems pretty new though She setting gud record.

Sulad82i and Omar22: Stop being smart arses, we all know that this is good development specially in the North where women are usaully treated as a second class citizen.
As of Omar22 maybe you should stick to the sport section cause u make more sense over there.

Many women drives lawma truck in Lagos and I feel they can as well drive trailer. They are really trying shaa, me I no fit drive am because is not feminine.

Wow you too are underachievers in life obviously. Instead of focusing on the woman in question, you are comparing Nigeria with what not? Plain logic of a loser.

I doff my hat for this woman. She looks pretty and smart.

all part of women liberation!

As far as I am concerened, this is still a story of dog bitting a man and not man bitting a dog; nothing xtra ordinary

kudos, atleast she does not depend on anyone or move around as prostitute.

The sooner we understand diginity of labour, the better we can bring more people into the labour market.

train is the easiest mode of transportation to control

they hardly press buttons on most lines, its automatic on victoria line

She's done well, it can't be easy in Northern Nigeria.

I was not able to find a translator online. But if true, this is amazing and signs that there is hope for the minority living in the North. I believe there is a minority up there desperate for change, only they are sandwiched in between a repressive and backward majority.
