Are Married Men Turning to Minibus Driving as Businesses Struggle?

I have noticed that many men are closing their shops or struggling businesses and turning to minibus driving to support their families. Most of them are married men with young children. I know people who have shut down their businesses and started driving minibuses. Some mechanics are even planning to buy minibuses to work with in the evenings. I recently saw someone I knew in this situation. He was surprised to see me, but I simply greeted him and did not ask questions. It made me wonder whether minibus driving has become the last option for many married men trying to survive. I also know someone with a Sienna who uses it for interstate transport just two or three times a week. Is this becoming a common coping strategy for family men in Nigeria?
