CITIZENS COMPASS–BBNaija star, Neo Akpofure, has narrated his experience as a can driver in Calabar, Cross River State.
The celebrity took to social media to share the experience.
In one of his posts on X formerly known as Twitter on August 26, 2024, Neo recalled a memory from five years ago when he was driving for Bolt in Calabar, posting some throwback pictures.
Neo wrote, “5 years ago today, I was still driving on Bolt in Calabar, I picked up MC Galaxy and his associate, he was craving bush meat and palm wine from somewhere called Atimbo. We enjoyed the bush meat and palm wine before dropping them off at the airport. Fast forward to today, I look back and see how far I’ve come. If I had given up on my dreams then, na me for fuck up.”
While Neo’s reflective post received widespread support, it also sparked criticism from others. One critic challenged Neo’s sincerity by questioning his privileged background, saying, “Person wey him papa get money, dey there dey bobo us, and Neo simply responded by saying, “His money not mine.”
“Guy rest nau, you’ve never been poor,” another critic wrote.
“It’s sad that comprehension is your problem. I didn’t mention anything about being poor or rich. My point is that anyone can have dreams and aspirations, regardless of their financial situation.” He said.
