Another exotic car as taxi

Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh earlier reported that a Nigerian man expressed huge surprise when he saw the new vehicle a white man bought for his taxi job.

When the man told him what the car would be used for, he asked many times in disbelief. The Nigerian requested he opens the door so people can see the beautiful interior.

In a video shared online, the man condemned the situation back home where rickety vehicles are used for mass transits.
