Dr. Mercy Gabriel, the now popular female taxi driver in Abuja, the nation's capital, has proved herself an enigma. A holder of two doctorate degrees, and though earning a good remuneration in the employ of the United Nations Commission for Refugees (UNCR), she jettisoned these advantages and took to cab driving.

She started the business on May 16 this year, and has come to be known and admired by cab users in the capital city. As she put it, "I have my eyes on a business that will eventually grow tall and big."

PHD holder driving taxi, whats your take on this? - Destiny or condition?

It's funny how some people try to shift the blame of their misfortune to the GOVT.

@TEECO, What's the fault of the govt in a personal decision? DUMB.

Anyway, she's trying to get to the spotlight. She has another target, believe it or not, the smoke-screen will clear soon and the real intention will be known.

we Nigerians get interesting mentality, thats why they include us among 3rd word countries.  we only appreciate someone when they work in a bank or oil company.

If actually that this is true then I believe what a fellow said that the dust will clear soon 4 we to know her intention & the other that said that she have seen what others have not yet seen. There is nothing about condition here its rather choice unless there is reason 4 leaving that job just like a one time finance/foreign affairs minister did
