A Nigerian woman who is an inter-state bus driver, has said she has a passion for the job which she has used to train her children.
The 59-year-old woman called Mrs Onokpite Agbaduta Beauty revealed that she started her transport business in 1992 after the death of her husband.
She started commercial transportation in Warri, Delta state:
In an interview with Daily Trust, the woman said she started by buying buses for drivers who gave her regular returns but had to drive herself after they mistreated her.
She said: “I started interstate commercial transportation 30 years ago when I was in Warri, Delta State in 1992. That was shortly after I lost my husband in 1991. I was plying Warri to Benin to enable me give education to my children."
How Mrs Onokpite started the transportation business in Lagos:
She said: “I relocated to Lagos and set up a business, but the then governor of the state, Raji Fashola, took over our business premises.
That was how I lost the business and had to go back to transportation business.

"I started the transportation business in Lagos by giving vehicles to drivers to bring returns for me at the end of the day, but they were messing me up, so I had to take over the vehicle.
I remember how one of the drivers came back one day in 2011 and just threw my key at me. I was annoyed, so I went to the park and started taking passengers from Ebute to Ikorodu garage. After that, I started plying Ojota to Maryland."
