A video of a boda boda rider dressed in a blue custom-made suit and brown shoes while the woman, dressed in a white gown with a tiara on her head, sat calmly on the bike as the man rode it. The two, believed to be lovebirds, had matching neck garlands, and people took videos of them as the man, whose bike seemed to have run out of fuel, pushed it as he rushed to probably a nearby refill station. In the video, people could be heard laughing and others making fun of them. BY TUKO NEWS
