Meet The Only Woman Driving A Commercial Tricycle In Anambra

A man identified as Ogazi Ejesieme took to his Facebook handle to reveal details about the only female keke driver. He also revealed in his post that, he happened to be a passenger she picked up along the way.

The lady was identified as Obianujunwa but popularly known as Uju, has become a role model to most women in Akwa, Anambra state, as she was labelled the only woman driving a tricycle (Keke Napep).

“I met this beautiful damsel today as I alighted from my car to enter Fidelity bank along Zik's avenue Awka. Immediately I noticed her and as God may have it, she was stopping her passenger and I used that opportunity to move closer to her. She told me she was from Awka South Local Government Area of Anambra state.

A very young promising young lady. She wasn't harsh towards me rather she answered all my questions with smiles and tenderness. She told me she was the only female KEKE driver presently at Awka. When asked if she was not feeling shy for engaging in such business viewed by many as a masculine business, she smiled and told me that she was enjoying her job and never felt dwarfed or difference from her male folks. She also revealed to me that her male colleagues respects, encourages and gives her first class treatment. 

When I got home I "digged" to find out more about her. I was informed by people that Uju's elder sister bought the Keke for their younger brother. But when the brother started acting funny and feeling too big and shy to ride the keke, Uju grabbed the opportunity and went to learn the keke, got registered with the union and the rest was history.”
