A Nigerian lady has shared a story on X (Twitter) about how a bus driver dumped a passenger mid-trip for making an insensitive remark about the insecurity in the country.
According to her tweet, passengers in the bus were discussing the rising cases of kidnapping when the conversation shifted to politics.
She said one of the men in the vehicle argued that Nigerians, especially Yorubas, should support the president regardless of the hardship in the country.
The man allegedly dismissed the worsening security situation, saying kidnappings and killings were not new and something Nigerians should simply accept.
Unknown to him, the driver, who is from Ilorin, quietly pulled over in a bushy area, asked everyone to come down under the guise of checking the vehicle, refunded the man’s fare, and ordered him out of the bus before driving off with the remaining passengers.
She added that no one spoke up or pleaded on the man’s behalf because the situation of the country has tired everybody.
Reflecting on the incident, she said the moment captured the frustration, fear, and emotional exhaustion many Nigerians feel as insecurity, inflation, unemployment, and daily hardship continue to affect lives.
Below are some of the comments;
“You mean the driver no reduce him teeth from 32 to 20 before leaving him behind?”
“I love what the driver did to him. If more people treat Tinubu supporters like this, they will all change and their head will correct by force.”
“The bus driver did the right thing! We as a country are all tired irrespective of tribes and a human still has the guts to make it about tribe.”
“Why does he think he needs to defend a politician especially at a time when we should be holding them accountable?”
