When he has nothing to retire to back in Nigeria

Sad to read about his age. Maybe he relocated in his later years hence the reason he still had to hustle at that age.

BlackPantherxXx:
Poor guy. Too old to be doing such work.

But no handouts in developed world. Very cold and harsh.

He probably mistakenly picked a gangster.

He even found a job over there ..let's say he is in naija without kids to help him out ...he won't survive this t pain regime . Except he is a politician supporting apc

The FG should look into this matter and write to the US government that the perpetrators be brought to book...

Na only him sabi why he dey drive at 77, despite a pension.

You think say na everybody de collect pension?

Inna lillahi wa ina ilehi rajiun! Mindless has been on the increase in the States for quite a long time.

SapaProMax:
Damn

A system that keeps you perpetually chained in debt so deep you still gotta hustle your meals at 77.

Cheers to the American dream

To be honest I wanted to say this too. Like it’s really pathetic. He should actually be resting.

Oh gosh, this is horrible.

At that age, he should have returned home to Nigeria to a serene calm state capital like Ado Ekiti, Osogbo with portable house with all his amenities. Doing Uber at that age is killing

He picked a gangster. Uber job is a very unsafe job to do because you could pick up a cocaine dealer or a gang member, and ops when they open fire, don't discriminate, you'll become collateral damage.

One can only do cab business safely in Canada, UK or Europe where there are no guns.

This is why the U.S is scary for me this gun violence. I still can't understand why private citizens would be allowed to legally possess firearms.

This is a very bad way to go. After hustling so hard into his old age

A 77-year-old Nigerian Uber driver, Olatunji W. Bolaji, was killed in a shooting outside a hookah lounge in Philadelphia, United States.

Bolaji, who lived in Norristown, Pennsylvania, was on duty around 2 a.m. on Wednesday when he picked up a passenger, a 22-year-old man, outside the Byblos Hookah Bar near Rittenhouse Square in Centre City, CBS reports on Friday.

Police said shortly after Bolaji picked up the young man, another vehicle pulled up behind his SUV, and two men got out.

One of them opened fire, shooting both Bolaji and the passenger.

Despite being shot in the head, Bolaji managed to drive a short distance before crashing into a pole at 17th and Chestnut Streets.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

His passenger, who sustained gunshot wounds to the arm, leg, and stomach, was rushed to Jefferson University Hospital in critical condition.

Police say the shooting was captured on surveillance cameras, and the attackers were in a black Jeep Grand Cherokee believed to have Massachusetts number plates.

Authorities are still trying to determine the motive behind the attack. Investigators believe there may have been a physical altercation between the passenger and the suspects before the shooting.

I hope the United States criminal justice system will catch up with the idiots who shot this hardworking 77-year-old "blood" in Philly who despite his age, was only looking to make more income for his daily survival (without getting involved in any shady activities).

My respects and deep condolence to his entire fam.

Expecially the way them say abroad be assuming he don day there for 30 years and working he supposed don rich pass dangote and just relaxed at this age they enjoy

McLizbae:
Terrible! Normally at that age, he is supposed to be retired with a comfortable pension. Relaxing and enjoying family and nature till his peaceful resting day. Rip grandpa!

There are some age-factored immigration status that can never put a foreigner on a pensionable job in us, I guess he is a victim of that. But as abroad be, you must get income, else no chop for you.

May his soul rest in peace.

Gun does not kill unless weaponized by humans.

"Guns don't kill people. People kill people"

DMX, Romeo Must Die

America, is one of the most useless country in world they are practicing what is not possible. America has the most insane people in world with drugs addicted, while legalize gun as birth right.

sumgelem:
It's a pity, America isn't safe anymore. Rip Bolaji.

... Death is sure to happen to you in the end no matter where on this planet you run to. However, you are safest in a place where your death will not be regarded as no better than that of a chicken! The murderers will be arrested, tried, and prosecuted very soon. Can we say the same of the killers or kidnappers of 1000s alone this year in Nigeria?

grandstar:

Did you give him pension?

Bwanasaraw:
RIP legit hustler. Much respect. I wish guns are licenced in Nigeria, Fulani herdsmen and bandits will not be terrorizing the whole nation.

Guns are licensed in Nigeria. That is why your politicians, pastors, imams, Fulani herders, and the rest surround themselves with them while the rest remain ignorant of the fact.

It's ranked one of the most dangerous jobs in victimology!

Rilwayne001:
It’s quite unbelievable for a rich man to be doing that kind of a work at 77

Warren Buffet hasn't retired yet, has he?

Zocalite:
77yrs uber driver Couldn't he move back to nigeria It's sad

Move back to Nigeria because if this had taken place in Nigeria, his murderers would have been found immediately and justice served, right?

One thing in abroad is you will be okay ooo and you can choose to work at any age but the longer you stay in abroad you can never the okay in Nigeria.

Which UK

UK wey racist passenger fit wipe your head from behind with a hammer whilst sitting behind your head

The Anti-immigrant racist riots in the UK of August last year should have opened the eyes of blacks who thought they were fully welcome in the UK that they were mistaken as blacks were being attacked in the streets of the UK in broad daylight by gangs of white men in riots attended by white old and young men. women and some women even attended the anti-immigrant riots with babies in push chairs and they almost set ablaze a hotel housing immigrants whilst the immigrants were still in the building.

Youths broke taxi driver's skull in racist attack, court told

A racist gang of white teenagers taunted a British Asian taxi driver as they clubbed him to death with fence posts, a court heard today.

Mohammed Parvaiz, 41 and a father of three, was caught up in a vicious feud between white and British Asian neighbours in the village of Golcar, near Huddersfield.

A jury at Leeds crown court was told that six youths plotted the lethal ambush after a scooter belonging to one of them was damaged when Mr Mohammed dropped off a group of British Asian passengers on a callout to Golcar five weeks earlier.

There had previously been violent threats to a local white woman who was forced to leave her house after going out with a British Asian boyfriend. Mr Mohammad's passengers were allegedly involved in trying to get revenge.

"The attack on Parvaiz Mohammed was not something that happened on the spur of the moment. It was part of a plan," said Adrian Waterman QC, prosecuting.

Mr Mohammed's widow, Naheed, sat in tears in the public gallery as the court heard details of the ferocious attack.

The six had phoned with a fake pick-up address in a dead-end street where they attacked the Mercedes taxi with bricks, stones and the posts. The teenagers swore repeatedly at their defenceless victim as they broke his skull, and showed no remorse afterwards.

Mr Waterman said that they fled when a neighbour shouted that she had called police, but were soon boasting to friends about what they had done. One had said: "I wonder if I have got Paki juice on the bottom of my shoes" and they had shared out £80, a watch and jewellery taken from the dead man's pockets.

"During and after the attack the defendants displayed racist attitudes. Racist language was used and some very ugly racist language," said Mr Waterman. "Their apparent racism towards the deceased made it easy in the defendants' own minds to do what they did."

Christopher Murphy, 18, Michael Hand, 19, Graeme Slavin, 18, and two 17-year-olds and a 16-year-old who cannot be named for legal reasons, deny murdering Mr Mohammed in July this year.

Hand, Slavin, and both 17-year-olds admit violent disorder. Murphy and the 16-year-old have pleaded not guilty to violent disorder.

Mr Waterman admitted that five weeks earlier, the taxi driver had taken the British Asian men to Golcar, where they had hurled bottles at Murphy's flat before damaging his scooter.

"Mr Parvaiz had driven them there and driven them away," he said. "But he seems to have been frightened about what was going on and drove away from the trouble. On any view he was acting merely as a taxi driver."

➜The authorities will undoubtedly track them down, prosecute them, and, if found guilty, convict them and send them to prison. Ironically, instead of facing harsh consequences, they’ll end up being sustained by the government—receiving free meals, healthcare, and shelter at taxpayers’ expense. It’s almost as if they’re being rewarded rather than punished. Sometimes, it feels like the prison system in the US treats inmates more like guests than offenders.

Interesting! I am curious. Would you rather that criminals not be served any meals at all or something?
