Why is this an incredible experience?

In Nigeria, tanker driving or driving of any heavy-duty vehicle is mainly seen as something reserved only for men. So, anyone will be surprised when they find a woman behind the wheels of a fuel tanker.

Many have applauded her ability to drive a tanker. Tanker driving is considered a risky venture only for the brave. Many people on social media who have since seen these photos of Yemi have commented on her bravery.

Sincerely, it’s an exciting experience to find Nigerian women venturing into fields or doing socially reserved things for men. 

There was a time bike, and Keke riding services were mostly populated by men. But, little by little, many women are moving into the business. Hopefully, Yemi won’t be the last woman we’ll see doing works dominated by men.
