Mama your hustle must pay in Jesus name! Any person when say you no go make tell am say na baba God get your destiny. True epitome of the saying what a man can do a woman can do better. Gender equality might not be totally possible in our society where men are seen as gods, this is a step towards such ideology.

Its just an African mentality where you see women who drive bus, bicycle, tricycle or cab as something extraordinaire. Our women have been made to believe those jobs belongs to the men and as such women should not engage in as it doesn't speak well of them. It some how limits our women who see it as being in competition with the men and some see as dirty job mean't for the men alone. The same you would find a university undergraduate would pride himself never to work at either the dinning or the school eatery. Its just a way black men limits themselves with opportunities.

I feel a lot safe when I enter cab or bus driven by women when I was still in Port Harcourt. We should kill that idea of "men needs to fend for their wife"- Yes, they need to, but still doesn't stop you from making something for yourself irrespective of how small. It will only limit our women to mental slavery, bashing and all sorts of domestic violence and they would never want to leave.

May God give us women who'll be willing to 'get their hands dirty' to keep the family going, when the going gets rough (hopefully, it won't get rough sha cheesy).

That said, I hope the lady finds a better & less stressful job sha.

Her husband had better realise what a treasure he's got, and treat her accordingly.

God bless our hustle!!! smiley

Ride on Ma'am. God is your strength. There's a female keke rider I have seen too in Aba. She can talk the street talk too like the other male riders. I was up in admiration the day I saw her at the park in Asa road. But, no. I don't want to be like her when I grow. cool

No woman actually wants that, but she had to improvise in other to help her family. And that is what makes her special.

One word for her SHE IS A SUPER MOM kiss and deserves an award for daring this challenging task in a challenging & difficult environment like Nigeria, these are people that ought to be role models in the society because they have shown that hard work pays and not the thieving poli-tricians we have across the country doing nothing but siphoning billions

The first time you meet Mrs. Olayinka Adeyemo in her tricycle (keke), what quickly runs through your mind is, how does this woman cope in a business exclusively reserved for men by society?

If you live in Lagos, you will understand why the wonder because a typical Lagos tricycle or keke rider is rough, uncouth and ever-ready to break all traffic rules and even ram into your care with no qualms.

They don’t give a damn about pedestrians because they’re even willing to run on pedestrian walks or even knock down a pedestrian without the blink of an eye.

But here is a woman roughing it out amongst these men Lagos residents love to hate but can’t do anything about because they provide essential transportation services, and of course filling the yawning holes dug by government’s inability to provide working and efficient transportation services for the people.

For me, it’s okay finding a woman in a business supposedly reserved for the boys with muscles and brawn. After all, women are gradually standing their own. But what caught me mouth agape is that Mrs. Adeyemo is heavily pregnant. Can you beat that?

Please madam, how did you get into this keke (tricycle) business?

“My brother, I’m a graduate, but rather than stay idle coupled with the responsibility of taking care of my young family, a friend of mine encouraged me to take-up this business. First, I got this tricycle through a hire-purchase arrangement from this friend, but now it’s mine because I’m done with paying up the cost of the tricycle.”

How does it feel operating in a man’s world? I don’t feel any different. I’m working and the men are working too. The difference is that I get more considerations from bus-stop touts who milk us of our earnings because I’m a woman, and when they see my protruding tummy, they just let me be.

And your condition? “I’m only pregnant. I’m not sick. Yes, I’m often tired, but this work is all I have to contribute to my family economy and meet my personal needs”. And your husband? “He‘s been very supportive and my children and family members know this is what I do for a living and they respect me for that”.

Are making a lot of money? “I wouldn’t say a lot of money, but it’s better than staying idle, and waiting for my husband to do everything for me.”

Well, the next time you see Mrs. Adeyemo; it could be with her baby strapped to her back or at a corner of the motor-park breastfeeding her baby. What that means is that in today’s world, all the barriers have been broken. And women have no excuse.

Great story
What excuse does anyone have?
I wish we could contact her personally,it'll be good for us familanders to give the baby a gift when it arrives

That was how my siblings and i boarded one keke last december while going for xmas shopping in warri only for us to notice that the rider is a woman. I was impressed by the way she was fighting for every available space on the road and she was given priorities by her male counterparts not only that she seems to be very popular because most of her male colleagues in the business were always shouting her nick name.
