A Nigerian law graduate now a barrister, identified as Festus Ogun has expressed worry online after he discovered that the driver of an Uber he ordered is a lawyer like himself.
The driver seems to have informed him during the ride that he is a lawyer who decided to start working as a cabman.
According to Ogun, after the trip ended, he searched for the driver on the Nigerian Bar Association portal and saw that he was a solicitor of the Supreme Court of Nigeria.
