The popular hail-cab service brand, Uber, has signed Banky W as her first brand ambassador in Nigeria.
The singer and actor expressed his excitement about the new deal in his Instagram post. The singer disclosed that his business relationship with Uber started when he went into an earn and share agreement with his driver to enable his driver to earn some extra income. He also says that he would love to make the same arrangement with other young people as “God gives me grace.”
The Yes/No singer also encouraged others who could afford it to engage in such business activity to help stem youth unemployment.

“One of my favourite quotes is the one that says: ‘Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a meal. Teach a man to fish and you’ve fed him for life.’ I believe very strongly in putting the people around me in a position to be more successful“My driver @lado212 is an awesome guy and I wanted him to be able to earn more than just his salary & tips so, I got a small car and we put it on Uber. That way, instead of him sitting around all day waiting for me while I’m in the studio, office, or on set, he can hit the road and generate income for us, and then we split it at the end of the month. It’s worked so well that I am now really hoping to continue to do this for more of the young people around me, as God gives me grace.“I’m so excited and honoured to be @ubernigeria’s first Brand Ambassador. I genuinely love the service and I’ve been an avid rider for years – the convenience of it just made my life so much easier, home and abroad. I also love that it helps create employment for young people.. and I want to encourage more car owners, if they can, to use the service as a way to help more people around them and earn money on the side at the same time. And even if all you ever do is use an Uber as your designated driver when you’re out having drinks.. it makes too much sense. You should just #BankOnUber. I am, and I do ?????????? #brandambassador“
