Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Nigeria's new President and presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, shared an incident where a naval officer slapped him unintentionally. Tinubu explained that during his time as a taxi driver in the United States, he accidentally overcharged the officer when he didn't know the correct fare for the destination.

In his biography titled "Tinubu, My Life as a Gypsy Cab Driver in the US," President Bola Ahmed Tinubu disclosed this story from his humble beginnings. He revealed that he worked as an unlicensed taxi driver in Chicago, mainly operating at the airport, ferrying passengers to their destinations.

Vanguard Newspaper reported that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu recalled, "To make some money, we used an unregistered second-hand car commonly known as a Gypsy, which we ran as a taxi. Our operation was limited to the airport, where we picked up passengers. We were forbidden from operating in other areas, such as hotels, due to our lack of a license. I did this for a period of time to generate some funds."

He further added, "One incident that remains vivid in my memory is when I unintentionally overcharged a naval officer who was returning to the country. I wasn't aware of the correct fare for his destination, but I provided him with a price. In response, the officer slapped me, expressing his disappointment that I didn't know the accurate fare. He then handed me the money."

Lol Humble beginnings indeed🤣

He was probably trying to slap sense in the man.

Good thing you didn't fight back cause you might not be a president today if you had faced him.

No one is above slap na

Even in the ''saner countries''...

I thought they said is only Nigerian military and Nigerian police that are always fond of slapping people?! or maybe he is Nigerian-American
