A Ghanaian man residing in the UK, Lincoln Bamfo, has made a surprising claim that he earns over £45,000 (equivalent to N25.7 million) annually by driving a bus for a living.
Lincoln, who is a former student of Accra Polytechnic and Accra Technical University (ATU), revealed that he was born in Ghana but moved to Belgium and later to London as an adult.
Speaking about his profession as a senior bus driver in the UK, Lincoln shared that he has been able to live a comfortable life and even sponsor his education due to the system in the UK.
He highlighted that the transportation industry in the UK places a high value on work, in contrast to Ghana where drivers often lack proper training after obtaining their license.
Lincoln further explained that in the UK, he is required to attend refresher courses or undergo a week of training every five years as part of the system’s obligation.
This stands in contrast to Ghana, where such mandatory training for drivers is rare.

In a conversation with crossdresser, James Brown, Susan disclosed that she paid her own school fees in secondary school with the money she earned from acting in The Johnsons sitcom series.
