The Adventures Of Oko Ashawo The Uber Driver - 94

Night driving has its challenges concerning safety but it comes with more money because there is less traffic and more demand. 

At night there are fewer drivers on the road and the prices tend to be higher and also, ladies of the night patronize us more at this time.

I try not to be too friendly when I am with these ladies of the night because some attempt to get familiar and it usually leads to bargaining for a lower price, which I don’t accede to. It is strictly business for me these days because I have fallen for some of the schemes of these ladies in the past. 

Many are still owing me and don’t pick my calls anymore and have moved on to other drivers.


I still find it hard to understand why someone would order a ride home early in the morning, and promise to pay later (after getting to destination) because there was no business throughout the night. 

A lady I picked up early in the morning some weeks back around 5:00am tried getting familiar with me as I drove her home. I won’t lie; this girl is very beautiful with a wonderful smile. She teased me saying that I am handsome and placed her hand on my chest and stylishly pinched my nipple. I knew immediately that she was up to something.

I removed her hand gently and focused on my driving because she was causing distraction but before I knew it, she had moved her hand down towards my laps and touched my ‘kini’, which immediately responded. I shoved off her hand and warned her to stop......

We got to where she lived about an hour later, and she pretended like she was trying to get money from her bag and then she apologized profusely for not having cash on her. She asked for my account details and promised to send the money later on that evening. 

I told her straightaway that I collect my money immediately after service. She tried to negotiate further by offering me s#x in her apartment in place of the money but i refused and told her I was going to create a scene if she didn’t do the needful.

She begged saying that ‘business’ had been bad for her recently and wanted me to understand her situation. Remembering all the other customers owing me strengthened my resolve to collect my money by all means.

A man who was probably coming from the club saw us arguing and waded in. He told the girl not to worry and he paid me 5k. As I made to leave, I saw the lady strolling with the guy to his car and they drove off together. Though I was tempted and may have fallen for her but I am more focused now and I pray it remains so.

*You turned her down? what a miracle! ....
