A dramatic altercation broke out between a young Nigerian lady and a 50-year-old female Uber driver over the elderly woman’s luggage, discomforting the passenger in the car.
The video, shared by TikTok user @hermajestygem, shows the outcome of events after the lady pointed out issues with the Uber driver’s luggage.
She said she had earlier informed the driver that she would not be journeying alone, but was taken aback by the driver’s tone, which she claimed triggered the confrontation.
The situation quickly escalated into a shouting match, with both women exchanging harsh words.
The young woman could be heard saying, “Act like 50 madam, why are you calling me dear? Gone are the days of respect. I can’t give you respect if you don’t reciprocate it. Even if your children are my mates, they can’t achieve what I have achieved in life.”
In response, the visibly upset driver retorted, “Even if you’re driving a Porsche, because you have a car, you are talking to me anyhow. You are an arrogant human being. Even my children are your mates.”
The video has since gone viral, sparking widespread debate on social media around generational respect, entitlement, and the treatment of older people in public interactions.

davidalways06 added, “It truly pains when a younger person starts to insult an older person. The younger one will also grow up and get the same treatment. This is fact.”
