"The Uber Driver That Picked Me This Morning Completely Ruined My Mood.
I entered his car and the first thing I noticed was how unusually quiet he was. No music, No small talk. Nothing.
Halfway into the trip, his phone rang through the car speaker.
“Daddy, mummy said we should ask if you’re coming home today because there’s no food again.”
The little girl’s voice was so innocent. The man paused for like 5 seconds before replying softly, “I’ll bring something.”
But immediately he ended the call, I saw him wipe his face quickly.
That was when I noticed the empty pack of cabin biscuits and sachet water beside him.
This man had probably not eaten too. The rest of the ride became uncomfortable for me because while I was complaining internally about Abuja traffic, somebody’s father was driving around hungry trying to save his family from embarrassment.
When we got to my destination, the trip was 4,700. I gave him 20k.
The way he turned immediately and stared at me ehn… You know that look people give when life has humbled them too much to even express gratitude properly?
That look broke me. It’s just so sad that a lot of people are going through a lot in this Tinubu economy"
