International Women’s Day is more than just a day spent honouring the phenomenal women around the globe who have achieved great things. For us, it’s a movement celebrating the fact that women now have the ability to move around independently! Driving a car isn’t just a way to get to work – it can be the work. For women around the world, Uber offers something unique: work on demand, whenever you want it. Drivers can make money on their own terms and set their own schedules.
We’re proud to introduce just some of the female faces of Uber in Nigeria:
“Uber doesn't discriminate against women. It has given a lot of opportunities for females to earn some income. That’s empowering. Right now people may not see it as a big deal but it’s a big deal for me. Yes, I am a female Uber driver.” - Elizabeth
“I love connecting with different people every day and try to interact and learn from my rider. Plus, I have the opportunity to focus on my other businesses. I am also a poultry farmer and into real estate. In my spare time, I go to my farm or take my clients to view buildings and lands. I am happy because I do with my time as I please.” - Folasade
“I’m an aspiring fashion designer and currently a digital illustrator. I drive with Uber because I want to do work that offers me flexibility. I also wanted to go to fashion school and my 9-5 job did not give me that luxury. If I’m not behind the wheel or in fashion school, I’m on the runway. I model as well.” - Ibukun
“You know what they say - what a man can do, a woman can do better. I am a businesswoman - an entrepreneur. I am a makeup artist, I sell clothes and I am into interior decoration. My time is mine and I have been able to do whatever I want to do and have multiple streams of income.” - Mercy
“I’m an ‘upcoming’ photographer and an engineer. Uber allows me to explore the beautiful city of Lagos, which fuels my interest in photography. Making money is just the perk.” - Isoken
Happy International Women’s Day!
