How I drove from Ogun to Gombe, a female truck driver of 22 years
Ms Omolade Ademola, a 22-year-old female truck driver from Ogbomosho in Oyo State, claimed that during her three years of truck driving, the longest trip she undertook was from Ogun to Gombe State.
After passing her senior secondary school test, or SSCE, the young woman began learning truck driving in the Ajah-Eleko neighbourhood of Lagos State. She later added that she had driven to the capital cities of Ondo, Kwara, and Osun states, respectively: Akure, Ilorin, and Osogbo. She said this in an exclusive interview and added that driving has always been her passion. I recently learned to drive three years ago. I enjoy driving, so I do it frequently. Omolade is my name. I drive a truck as a woman. Three years ago, I first learned to drive a truck. In Ogun State, I learned how to operate a truck from the Ajah region to the Eleko axis to Ijebu-Ode. I was raised in Ogun State, claimed Ademola.
"I frequently travel to Osogbo, Ilorin, and Akure. This was the longest journey I've had since visiting Gombe State. Although I wasn't the only one, I drove another truck down there even though it wasn't my own. I've just received training on the truck's length. I start out concentrating on the truck.
I'm not afraid since it's what I want to do. I enjoy driving a lot.
She continued by saying that she loves to drive. Moreover, when she first informed her parents she wanted to drive a truck for a job, they were not supportive of the concept. Her pals are now interested in learning to drive because she persisted in learning it.
My passion is for driving. I'm not sure what brought me there. My pastime is driving. At SS3, I stopped going to school. After that, I confessed to my friend my desire to gain truck driving experience. I also told my family, who all assumed I was kidding.
I was initially asked not to do it, but when they realized how serious I was about it, they agreed.
"At first, my parents were worried, but after realizing that it was what I wanted to do and what I was passionate about, they encouraged me to continue. They tried to discourage me, but I persisted, and eventually, they gave in. My pals didn't realize I was serious; they assumed I was making jokes or that I was just driving for fun."
The majority of her friends, who at first tried to convince her otherwise, now suggest that she teach them how to drive, she claimed.
When asked about the difficulties, she described them as commonplace daily occurrences like having a flat tire, except for the time when she needs to relieve herself in the middle of a busy highway.
There are various difficulties, much like when there is traffic and I need to go potty. Many people would be staring at me and wondering who this young girl was who was jumping out of the truck. Another difficulty is when my truck breaks down or I have a flat tire. Ademola continued, "But I don't regard them as difficulties; I see them as a necessary component of my everyday labour.
