Ijebu, who was enjoying a relaxed ride, could scarcely contain his surprise as he realised that the man behind the wheel, steering them through the bustling streets of America, was Jigan—an actor who was previously best known for his exceptional roles in Nollywood

Jigan, on seeing them, responded coolly and noted that he has been doing the Uber job for a while. 

Jigan confidently drove Ijebu and Soji Taiwo to their location, using his Android phone as a GPS.

Ijebu used the moment to share jokes with his colleagues as they laughed over the situation.
