@akgage He's a DM...from my observation, he's a tall, technical midfielder with a passing range.
In terms of similar profiles, think Busquets, Rodri, Carrick....
Another malaise troubling Nigerians is brazen theft rolled up with emotional blackmail.
If as a driver, sourcing passengers through a ride-hailing app doesn’t pay you economically, go off the app and source your passengers independently. It is downright dishonest to use the app to get passengers, accept the ride upon seeing the price for the trip, only to turn around and try to induce the passenger to go offline or pay more for a trip that the price is fixed by the app.
Some people opt to use e-hailing apps probably because they are either bad at haggling, or they simply want to spare themselves the stress of bantering over price with the driver.
We enable too much nonsense. The passenger has his/her own problems, and should not have to deal with the driver’s greed laced with emotional blackmail. If the app doesn’t pay you, stop using it to source passengers.

Here’s a more interesting comparison.
In 1960, North Korea was richer than South Korea.
Today, South Korea is 30x richer.
When Park Chung-hee seized power in 1961, South Korean income sat under $100 a year.
His government pushed the entire economy to build things the rest of the world would actually buy and organized everything around exports.
By 1974 the South had overtaken the North for good.
Hyundai and Samsung went from tiny workshops to global brands while South Korea became the first country in history to go from receiving foreign aid to giving it.
TLDR: 40 years of open markets vs central planning produced a 30x difference in living standards.
Only recently have I realised that there are distinct circles within the Nigerian diaspora in the UK.
Broadly speaking, there are those of us who grew up here for most (or all) of our lives, those who came over for secondary school and stayed through university, and those who have arrived more recently, say within the last decade.
I’d always assumed these groups mixed quite naturally. Now, I’m not so sure.
As someone in the first group, but with a lot of friends in the third and a few in the second, I’m starting to notice subtle differences in what each group prioritises, the values we hold, and how our different life experiences shape the way we see and navigate the world.
What’s been even more interesting is realising that these groups don’t actually overlap as much as I thought they did.
Not saying one is better than another, just an observation I’ve found fascinating.
😅. In my spare time I like to do social analysis of humans. I find us fascinating
