- Amarachi revealed that after she got tired of teaching for a small salary, she became a driver and the benefits were huge.
- The 30-year-old Warri-based lady said some passengers even left her their change.
Nigerian graduate Amarachi Ihezie, whose story went viral days ago for being a keke driver despite graduating from college, has spoken about her life.

People took pity on me

According to Amarachi, people started looking at her with great pity that a graduate ended up being a keke driver.
Amarachi said she never cared what people said as she continued her work with pride.
His challenge
The lady revealed that one of the challenges she faces as a driver is how to relax whenever she needs to pee.
The graduate who became a driver four months ago said the experience had been great. She said that sometimes people buy her fuel, leave their change and sometimes pray for her.
GHC120 every day when business is good
The lady sometimes said that she was making 8,000 N (almost 120 GHC) per day. Each time that happens, she saves 4000 or 5000 N for the owner of the keke. N1000 for fuel for the next day, and GHC30 comes back to him.
