Description
As Nigerians face one of the country's worst economic crises in decades, more and more women are getting behind the wheel of Lagos traditional commercial buses, also known as "danfo", a job traditionally held by men. "You have to fight back. ... Even if you are quiet, as soon as you start doing the job, you'll be forced to talk.
