Top Five Things Nigerian Passengers Do To Their Public Drivers by GodswillAJudins(m): 12:54am On Sep 03, 2016
I must confess being a public driver comes along with it some intolerable situations which the drivers, if cool headed just had to swallow for the sake of peace and safe convey to their passengers to their various destination,

So let me stop the boring talk and get down to business,

1. The drivers always take the blames:

be it a stumble upon a bumpy road or the driver decided to stop and check his tires or either rain or sun is too much, most passengers will always find reasons to shout at the driver, not minding the situation of the road or the age of the person conveying them. from nearly all corner of the vehicle or bus you hear different chants like “driver you Don high”, driver ” this driver is not a good driver”, “baba u Don chop burns abi why u carry this old car enter road”, “driver wetin na, abeg no use the one wey dey ur body block my own o”. These are just a pinch of the chants you hear sequencially from every corner of the auto. Not minding the psychological effects those chants can impose on their conveyor(driver)

2. They have to be the one to get dowm some passengers load no matter the size:



I was in a public transport some few days ago when it got to the bus stop of a young lady of about 19 years, the driver pulled over waiting for the lady to come down with her small traveling box which was beside her, but to my outermost suprice this girl made a statement to this midage driver “driver are you not going to bring down my load or didn’t I pay for the service” for crying out load this Africa show some respect to ur elders in society its our culture to do so.

3. They have no say passengers conversation:

Now a days if you are driver conveying your passengers to their destinations it’s better to keep shut at most conversation your passengers are engaging in your vehicle to avoid bashing, because most of them don’t want to hear your contributions rara, it’s only in few cases you can observe a journey in Naija that, u won’t the man on steering, does not really receive words of bashing from one or more of the passengers at the same time or sequentially.

The are supposed to stop or park anywhere the passenger wish to come down.

Oh this another one, if the driver does not stop at the exact point most passengers desires to stop. then expect bashing, “oga wetin be your own na, drop me na, shey brake no dey this moto again”? Not minding road signs, and need for self parking.
