➜For 77 year old to have to work at 2am in the morning, then something isnt right.
His preference? People work at all hours of the day so what is wrong with a 77-year-old being comfortable working late hours? undecided

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!

If @ 77 still hustling for daily bread, then, what is the difference between Naija and US?
I guess is packaging!

Those trying to ridicule the old man for still hustling at 77 should not be too quick to judge as they don't know what fate awaits them at that age.

If they told me years ago that Nigerian graduates will one day be doing menial jobs or worse still begging for money offline and online, I would have doubted this as impossible.

People talking about pension, how many people get pension in America? Even Americans don't get pension talkless of immigrants, that is why they have 401k, even that Trump have decimated the stock market wiping out people's 401k. So yes many 77 years old are going to start driving uber.

You got it. Even here in Nigeria, there are elderly people who like to work just to keep busy and for social interaction.

Forget about that. He chose to work at that age. In America, there is nothing like age discrimination. You can work if you want to. And besides, did the man told you that he is poor!
Rich man nor dey do taxi work for that age. Worst is even working at past 2am

If you think this old man is driving uber at 2am just because he is bored and needed interaction, you must be living in lalaland. He is driving uber at 2am to put food on the table and pay bills simple.

77yrs uber driver

Couldn't he move back to nigeria

It's sad
He was destined to die that way - There are more than 100,000 Uber Drivers working at that time of the day all over the United States and he was one they shot -I know someone who drove Uber for 7 straight years in this US and never complained of ANYTHING like this - and also that Philly is a crazy place- From what I saw of that place, I cant be paid enough to live there - it is rough - very very rough there - like south side Chicago

Not true - some people pick up extra jobs to avoid boredom and depression.

I know of an old man whose kids were very successful here in California and they (the kids) told their dad to stop working in Macy's - because whatever he earned a month is what they can make in 1 hour. Guess what - he quit his job to relax and enjoy at home with his grandkids BUT died 6 months later - IF he kept that Macy's job - he probably will still be alive today
