”Yesterday, a Twitter User used an e-hailing service. He was paired with one of the drivers on the platform and they connected. Unlike many other platforms he had used, this driver’s taxi was mind-blowing.
There were sweets, nuts, soda and a wifi in the car. All of these were freebies for a rider. It was unbelievable.
After his ride – where he had updated his phone with the free wifi service, the Twitter User went back to the Internet and told everyone of his discovery. It was unbelievable. Other people who had had an encounter with the driver shared their experiences.
Before long, conversations about monetary donations started to help the driver restock his freebies’ cabinets. His account details was shared online and trust empathetic Nigerians to start donating.
The donations poured and poured. Via a WhatsApp message, he thanked the Twitter User, the donors and wished them all well. Asides the freebies, he was said to be polite and his car had a nice scent.”
