A Nigerian lady recently turned heads online after sharing her unconventional travel experience, where she opted to use an Uber ride for a long-distance journey from Enugu to Imo State. The trip, which cost her N65,000, was a marked departure from the typical mode of transportation between the two states.
Queen Chirah, the Uber passenger, detailed her experience in a TikTok video, explaining that she chose the ride-sharing service over a public bus for the comfort and privacy it offered. Traveling alone with the driver, Queen found the journey to be both stress-free and enjoyable, as she had ample space to relax, read, and rest during the ride.
Despite not being familiar with the route to her village, which led to a few moments of uncertainty, Queen expressed satisfaction with her decision. She noted that it was not her first time using Uber for a long trip and that the convenience and peace of mind made it worth the price.
Her story has sparked various reactions online, with some praising her for prioritizing comfort while others were curious about the high cost of the journey. Nevertheless, Queen’s account highlights the growing appeal of alternative transportation methods in Nigeria.
