Okoro a taxi driver has a family of eight. He loves his family, works hard to provide their needs. Okoro believes in Education. His goal and determination for all his children is an educational degree he never had. Due to the nature of his work sometimes he works round the clock during the weekends to meet up with the high school fees of N300,000 he pays for his two girls University tuition fees each session.

This month he saves for their fees but at the same time he notice that his vehicle papers (drivers licence, insurance, some other tax payments) have expired, in order to work freely he needs to renew his documents or he will face the penalty. But he can't imagine bringing N10,000 out of the money he has saved to renew his papers. He says to himself "I will rather avoid VIO and FRSC for a short while and pay the school fees then I will pay the tax, what are they using the money for self"

He succeeds for a month with his plans knowing all the routes of the vehicle officials, but unfortunately a week to the date of resumption he was caught and his car was impounded and licence was ceased.
