If someone had told Yakubu Liman that he would become a celebrity just by introducing a kind of style and panache into his trade, he would not have believed.
But the young man who is not ashamed of selling Tiger Nuts (Aya), while well dressed in a suit, has become a star as a BBC photograph found him worthy of a spot on their website and took a snapshot of Liman while pushing his wheelbarrow in the streets of Abuja, Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory.
Yakubu Liman shows there is dignity in hard work
Liman told the BBC that he buys a sack of the nuts on credit every month and if he makes a lot of sales, he makes a profit of around N5,700.
Truly, there is dignity in labour.
