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.
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.
