I always use a pedestrian bridge at Anthony Bus stop along Ikorodu Road, Lagos state on my way to work each morning.

There is a man who makes sure the bridge is kept clean no matter the weather - sunny or rainy. He sweeps the length of the bridge with passion and enthusiasm. I often wonder where he gets his motivation.

This man HAS NO HANDS!!! Both his wrists are cut-off by what I assume was from a factory machine accident. How he holds broom? He clasps both bones together while sandwiching the broom between them.

While many of his kind are begging, this #MadeOfBlack Hero has decided to be useful to the society. He is always full of appreciation. His charming smile and prayers motivates me each morning.

My opinion, if anyone deserves nominating for the Guinness #MadeOfBlack, it is this Hero! I have a secretly recorded video of him which shows in clarity his good works... Let's help give this much publicity so that this unknown and unsung #MadeOfBlack Hero will be celebrated.

There is another one on Lekki Phase 1 pedestrian bridge. He is always there to keep the bridge clean as early as possible. His legs are bad and he crawls to sweep. It takes him hours yet the passion drives him.

Please kindly forward this to the right authorities.

People like him deserves gold medal.

GodBless him and he should be rewarded for this.

It is a shame such decent citizens have the kind of leaders we have.

Good one OP.
Even if such people are hardly considered for national awards, they are recognised by their fellow country men.

WHAT A FAKE WORLD…
A child comes into the world crying,
Everyone is rejoicing…
He starts growing
Everyone loves him and desires to carry him and call him nice names
He starts trying to succeed and people are encouraging him to rise up
But when he starts making progress, the problem starts
Some will become jealous, looking for how to pull him down
He dares them and steps on their toes to climb higher
They hate him and curse him and call him names, even wishing him dead…
Unfortunately he dies and everyone starts crying…
They start saying wonderful things about him
“He was a good man”
“He was nice”
“He was faithful”
But if I may ask, “Why will he suddenly become good after death?”
“Will anyone give his/her life for this man to come back to life?”
What if a miracle happens and the man starts rising again from the grave?
Wow! Everyone will jump up and run for their lives…
Hahahaha… what a fake world!
Aren’t this world and the people fake?
Pretence and deception everywhere
Fake celebrities on tv, borrowing ladies and cars to shoot videos just to make us admire them and wish we were as wealthy as they are
They act very sexy parts and appear half-nude in movies
But they try to appear descent in real life
So the life in the movie is far different from the real life?
If so, why do we try to copy the ‘TV-life’ and not their real life?
There is always a beautiful face on the cases of creams and soaps
It’s just to deceive you and make you believe that the
beautiful woman on the pack has been using the soap, therefore if you want your skin to be like hers, you have to buy the soap or cream…
What a terrible lie… You will be shocked to know that the woman on the pack has never used that soap or cream, she is a model that was hired to make the product sell…
Oh! It’s obvious that we live in a fake world,
A world that cannot be trusted
A world that will not last long
A world that will soon fade away
So I have no other choice than to stick to my one and only Jesus
The Alpha and Omega
The best companion ever
His yes is yes and no, no
Even if the world fades away and throws everyone into danger, you will never be disappointed with Jesus by your side
WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS,
ALWAYS A FRIEND, FOREVER A TRUSTED FRIEND,
DISCONNECT FROM THE WORLD AND STAY WITH JESUS AND
HE WILL GUIDE YOU TILL THE END..

So inspiring.

He will b celebrated soon

Yes he is reallymade ofblack
