Saw this interesting story on Facebook. Shared by Chiemezie Claire Asunugwo-Anyanwu. Pictured above is a wheelbarrow pusher named Bashir who does his business at markets in Abuja and its environs. He's always well dressed despite what his job is. [img]http://3.bp..com/-GnYt7magxb8/VloU3CpaHVI/AAAAAAAHeq4/hCQe7kvExCk/s400/1.jpg[/img] [img]http://2.bp..com/-maokicsmWdI/VloU2zX7Y0I/AAAAAAAHeq8/Ke6nmOIHKtk/s400/2.jpg[/img] [img]http://2.bp..com/-ghCoxA0AR88/VloWsJWpYeI/AAAAAAAHerM/iy3JDJ4EnvU/s1600/3.jpg[/img] "You can find dignity in your job." His name is Bashir Suleiman, he's a Mai-barrow and a proud one at that. I was privileged to have him gather my groceries and produce for me as I shopped in the market today. First of all he was very well dressed with his clothes well ironed as if he was going to a proper office work and I was told by the fruit seller who saw my initial surprise when Bashir approached me that it was his custom to dress well daily to his Mai-barrow job. It got even more interesting when I caught a whiff of his "perfume" and noticed his socked feet in a pair of well polished sandals. Other barrow pushers approached me but with my curiosity already piqued and biased towards Bashir, I felt it an honor to have him gather my stuff for today. Next, he had very good communication skills, his grammar may not have been ivy-league standard, but we communicated very easily while he helped bridge the gap between my Hausa language spattering and my needful communication in same language with my customers who spoke little or no English. Bashir was very much involved in every bit of my shopping making sure I wasn't cheated and my change was properly counted out and given to me. Bashir also showed me the best places I didn't even know existed in the market to buy the freshest produce at competitive prices. Bashir was attentive, involved, sharp, smart, fast and market savvy too. Whilst we were shopping, Bashir got as many as 3 different phone calls from customers like me who were en route the market and wanted him on standby for them. One told him where to wait for her while the other told him she was prepared to wait till he was free to serve her since he was currently engaged. Bashir did his job with a great attitude and a smile, he was polite and courteous yet humble and ready to serve. At the end, I had to give Bashir much more than I have ever given a Mai-barrow( and believe me I always tip them generously) because Bashir beat all stereotypes and made my life much easier today. Of course I left with Bashir's phone number decisively saved in my phone book. People like Bashir have further strengthened my belief that the future generation of our country can and will excel and be better than the past generations. Tomorrow we may just see a registered company--Bashir Uber-Mai-barrow Ltd, with clean, well dressed and courteous service boys...making shoppers' lives easier, earning good money, even paying taxes to the government and contributing their quota to the system versus the modern day entrenchment of criminality by the teeming unemployable youth that are not ready to work yet maraud the society today. Now this is what I call, progress, long sightedness, wisdom and imminent vital prosperity. Let's all join hands and make the skies of these young men a stepping stone by encouraging them in whatever ways possible. Thanks for reading.... Thanks Bashir.

[b]for you to excel here in Nigeria as a business man or woman, you must have good sense of packaging! Have anyone been to Ikota shopping complex Road5 just the front gate of Gtbank, you'll see some well dressed guys! Looking quite flambouyant selling Recharge cards! One will readily ask what their intentions are? The good thing here is that big shots from VGC usually patronize them well. So I think the only magic here is doing things differently from the norm! You'll make it! |

I attended a birthday party with a gathering of about 30 people. I sat at the front seat. A lady started distributing food. She started from the back and unfortunately, it didn’t get to us sitting at the front. Another lady started sharing the drinks, she started from the front but unfortunately I had already moved to sit at the back. Again the drink didn’t get to me. I was so furious that I stood up to take my leave but then I saw three ladies each with a big bowl. This time, I tried to be wise by sitting at the middle. One of the ladies started the sharing from the front, the second lady started distributing from the back. The two ladies were sharing fried turkey. When they got to the middle where I was seated, it got finished again! Feeling so frustrated, I bent my head, putting my face in my hands… but then the third lady tapped me and stretched her bowl for me to pick. I stretched and put my hands inside the bowl… Guess what was in the bowl? Toothpicks. "_" *tears 2 Likes 1 Share |

This story is false. Look at the environment as it looks scanty. No wheel barrow pusher works in a dry street jare. You mostly find them in parks and markets. The guy is buying items from a shop and arranging it for a real wheel barrow guy to help take it somewhere. If it was real why didn't you show us images of him pushing the wheel barrow? Please make una dey small small lie abeg today na sunday |

ShakurM:I hate your shallow mentality.... @op, this is the best article I have read this year (from Jan. To now) it thought me a lot... I'm a professional seriously thinking of how to start up a business my line, n believe me this had thought me a lot.... Before now, I have been having cold feet as my kind of business is very crowded, now I know I could still go in, break stereotypes , set some newer heights and carve a niche Thank you.. |
