GUESS WHAT!!!!: WOMEN CABBIES IN NIGERIA

Women have been saying, " give us a chance, give us equal opportunities, whatever men can do, we can also do it and even better". Some women break the record that only men could drive cabs in Nigeria yesterday in Portharcourt, when the wife of the Rivers State governor, Mrs Judy Amechi empowered 50 women with CABS. They were called "WOMEN CABBIES". You could see those women smartly dressed in their cabs displaying boldness and dexterity in driving. Thay even demonstrated on the television how they could fix minor problems in their cabs when they were being commissioned.
Seeing the way the women were ready to the bull by the horns, the Rivers State Governor himself, Governor Rotimi Amechi promised that he will also empower another 100 women in the state who are willing to become cab drivers.
Not long ago, the Nigerian First lady, hajia Turai Yar'adua donated some tractors to some women in Agriculture in the Northern part of Nigeria to make their farming easy and to be able to produce more food. These are the kind of proffession hiterto thought to be solely for men. Women are also engaging in them now and they are doing beautifully well.
