In a video on X, the Nigerian woman captured the centre console of a taxi she had boarded which contained money belonging to the driver of the vehicle.

She said no one touched the money but the same would not be said if a taxi driver in Nigeria replicated such an attitude.

“I wish Nigeria would be like this. I am at a taxi rank and nobody is stealing here. I’m in a taxi and there is money by the front seat, but nobody has stolen it. Passengers enter the taxi and alight, but they don’t touch it because it is not theirs.”
“If it were in Nigeria would this happen? Can the driver leave his money inside the car and move out? There’s nobody here and I won’t touch the money, other passengers who join me will also not touch it and that is how it must be,” she added.

In Ghana, several taxi drivers keep money in the centre consoles so they can use it as a change for their passengers when the need arises. It is hardly ever stolen by anybody who sees it.

“This is the peace we are talking about. Let’s try as Nigerians to live peacefully please,” the lady pleaded.
