A ride-hailing service driver in Ghana named Vincent Potaki reveals some of his interactions with passengers, including sex offers, security concerns, rudeness, and other issues.
Vincent mentioned that his employment gives him the opportunity to interact with a variety of individuals.
Vincent admitted that he encountered numerous women who demanded money in the form of sex, but the most bizarre meeting was with a Nigerian woman he met at Osu.
The moment she (Nigerian) sat in the car, she held my penis, so I told her to stop. Then she asked whether I thought she wouldn’t pay because of what she was doing.
“But I told her no, I don’t want that. Most girls seduce men to avoid payment. I’m working. I’m a work-and-pay driver, and I have a target set for myself, he said.
In addition to the sex offers, Vincent underlined the job's dangers. According to the bolt driver, some customers want rides to unidentified locations so they can be attacked.
They often rob us at Teshie. I was on my way to pick up two riders, and I had heard about the area robberies that often happen in Teshie. So I called the Nungua police to escort me to the place. They fled when they heard the police siren, Vincent told DJ Nyaami.
