In a country where taxi driving is reserved for the male folk Aisha Umar broke the jinx to become the first female to ever take up the job of a taxi Driver.
But this humble mother of two did not start out as a taxi driver. In an interview with This Day, she said “I
did not really plan to go into a taxi business, it just happened. Before I
became a taxi driver, I was into trading of clothes but I had no shop, so I go
around hawking and as you may know, such business is quite volatile. In most
cases people owe you so much money that you may not be able to recover them in
the end.”
Hmmn! personally i like to meet people of such good courage. Aisha truely is a sign unto womanhood. #HAIL#
