Nigerian woman sacks cab driver
She mentioned that she had known him for just two weeks before he started making advances toward her. At one point, he tried to kiss her, but she slapped him reflexively.
Despite clear signs that she wasn’t interested, she explained that the cab driver didn’t back down and went ahead to send her a message.
According to a post she shared on her page, @themeimaaaa, via the popular social media platform X (formerly Twitter), she revealed that after the incident, she fired him and now uses a female driver.
Her post read:
"My cab guy toasted me, I shut it down. The next day, I was sitting at the back seat and he tried to kiss me, and I slapped him (reflex btw). He still sent me one stupid message saying he’d fallen in love with me. This was like two weeks of using him o. Had to switch to a woman."
The text message sent by the cab driver via WhatsApp read in part:
"If you could see yourself through my eyes, you would know how much I love you. You hold a very special place in my heart. I'll love you forever."
"I want to take you out on a date that would be most convenient for you, my love, my queen."
"Get well soonest, dear."
After receiving the message, she blocked him immediately.

Not long after, she shared her experience on social media. She also spoke further about him, mentioning that the driver is an elderly man.
Her statement:
"This is an elderly man, by the way, in his mid to late forties. He can’t genuinely like me; he is a predator. He’d only known me for two weeks, and in those two weeks, we didn’t have any interaction except that I greeted him politely. Nothing would have changed the outcome."
As the post made its way online, concerned individuals stormed the comment section to share their thoughts.

@themeimaaaa added:
"The lack of professionalism is alarming, and they don’t treat their male customers like this."
@MatthewNaomi5 stressed:
"Next time tell him to cut himself a little put his blood in a bottle and weighbill it for you to drink, tell him you have to taste him before accepting to see if y'all fate match, if he doesn't reply keep reminding him."

@USERNAMELESSGUY noted:
"Don't get angry ok but hear me out. What if he genuinely likes you? What could he have done differently to change the outcome? Interact with me. Christ. Nigerians are very daft and this is why a lot of guys can’t stay abroad. Animalistic behavior. Can you just separate your sh.it from your work. Geez."
@MaziUce2 said:
"It’s good you changed him. Women do these things too to their bosses at work. No vex, it’s a human thing to like good things. Good things and eyes are siblings."
While the actions of the driver are very inappropriate and condemnable, Legit.ng sought to better understand what might have prompted him to act in such a manner.
We contacted a relationship and marriage counselor, Mr. Ogwuche Godwin, for expert comments.
The lady had mentioned that she had no interest in him, and we put a question forward on why people misinterpret politeness for interest. Mr. Godwin has this to say:
"This happens because some people struggle with boundaries and emotional awareness. When someone is polite, friendly, or respectful, they wrongly read it as romantic interest, especially if they are lonely, emotionally needy, or not used to healthy interactions."
"In cases like this story, regular contact and basic courtesy can be misread as affection. But politeness is not an invitation. It’s important for people to understand that kindness does not equal consent or attraction. Respecting boundaries is key in any interaction, especially in professional settings like this one."
We pushed further to understand better how individuals could understand when certain actions or steps become predatory.
He continued:
"Romantic interest crosses into harassment the moment it becomes unwanted and persistent. Once a person clearly says no, shows discomfort, or sets a boundary, any further advances are no longer romantic; they become harassment."
"In this story, the behaviour crossed the line when the driver tried to kiss her without consent and continued sending love messages after she rejected him. That is not love or interest; it is disrespect and violation of personal boundaries."
"Romantic feelings must always come with consent. When consent is missing, it becomes predatory."
Mr. Ogwuche Godson gave important advice to women on what to look out for when dealing with service providers to avoid being in uncomfortable situations.
"Women should be alert when a service provider starts becoming too personal or over-familiar beyond the service they are meant to offer."
"Warning signs include asking unnecessary personal questions, making comments about your looks, trying to touch you, or turning normal conversation into romantic talk."
"Another red flag is ignoring boundaries; for example, continuing to flirt or send messages after you’ve shown no interest."
"In professional settings, respect should be clear. Once someone crosses that line, it’s important to take it seriously and protect yourself."
