However, the man identified on TikTok as @mrkudez was unsettled when the taxi driver he flagged charged him N30,000 for a short distance.
He refused to take the taxi, insisting the short distance shouldn’t cost that much, and chose to walk instead.

"Ok from inside airport to the airport gate by 7:51pm… The aviation bodies should try and do something about this airport taxi service prices and bring the prices down."

Taxi driver discovers money in his car
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that an old video resurfaced in which a Nigerian taxi driver found $60,000 in his car and took it to a radio station in order to find the rightful owner.
The taxi driver picked up the money when the naira was N750 to $1, but he could not bring it immediately as he fell ill.
According to Ahmed Isah, also known as Ordinary President, the money was contained in two nylon bags.
