In the chat, the driver praised the Nigerian and told him he’s different from other Nigerians who visit Ghana. He said the Nigerians who employ the services of Ghanaians treat them like slaves, with little or no respect. So, it was a surprise for him to meet a Nigerian who was different.
He tweeted:
“A few weeks ago, I was in Accra for work. I met Francis, a 33 year old Ghanaian who was my driver for the day. He initially had a cold reaction when he heard I was Nigerian, but after a full day of treating him like a human being (I did nothing special), I got this.
“It’s rather sad that I get this same reaction in a lot of places I travel to, especially when I do something I consider to just be humane. What exactly are we (Nigerians) doing out there???
“I only remembered this msg because the concierge at the hotel I’m staying mentioned something similar today when I helped keep a door open and insisted to help him carry one of MY parcels he was struggling to balance.”
