if this guy can still be on the streets and still cleaning windscreen after featuring on CNN and his story going viral online,
2 things are involved.
1. it could be village people at work or
2. because he doesnt have a pvssy.
if its village people, he is safe and can get spiritual help.
then if its cus he doesnt have a pvssy, am sorry cus naso our country dey.

and those asking why didnt the OP help him instead of just taking pictures, i think the OP is just a driver sent on an errand by his OGA

You didn't read where OP said he was in traffic and all he could do was to give him his card to call him anytime? You didn't read that??

forgive my being judgmental but instead of you taking a selfie with him and "showing off" on nairaland, can't you talk to him and try to take him off the streets?

It shouldn't necessarily be the duty of a billionaire or the government to help the less privilege you can do something for someone who needs your help too.
To me taking a selfie is irrelevant and a display of heartlessness (no offense)

Now I understand olamide's WHO YOU EPP track sad

The guy sef shine for a while (even on CNN shocked) and even went back to his clean up job (the people whey dey follow this guy strong)
or is the GOD OF OLAJUMOKE is not on his side

Nigerians are funny people, when you come online people make a big deal out of things/situations we see everyday and don't really care. That a guy is cleaning windscreen is now a big deal on nairaland, people are even saying well meaning Nigerians should help himgrin grin. The guy is not complaining of his job.
Re: I Met Abdulahi Olatoyan At Maryland Traffic Cleaning Windscreen Today! by udysweet(f): 5:00pm On Jun 18, 2016
Yeah,you have a point tho. I just felt with all the hypes he got and all,that's smtn posit of it. By the way,why wld sm1 prefer his current job to smtn else if that smtn else wld pay him more than what's he's doing now? How many pple pay windscreen cleaners dis days? And if dey do,its a paltry sum. You need to see how some drivers shoosh dem away wen dey appear wit their bothers and brush,lol!
Goodluck to him(notice I ddnt write "God help him"? I have my reason smiley)

What lesson should we learn from this now?

If you can want to help somebody, stay the f**k away from social media, pictures, television and all and every gaddem entertainment media.

DO NOT LET YOUR LEFT HAND KNOW WHAT YOUR RIGHT HAND IS DOING.

Do it quietly

How exactly did he blow it?
"No body got time to help others" - I guess we also should not expect any empathy from others.

As for OP,
Only in Nigeria are non-office jobs looked down on with disdain. What a society.


let me answer ur first question.

someone took him in, got him an apartment,offered him training, he stayed for only a week and decided he prefered
windshield cleaning. and accused the guy of not doing more for hime because he is yoruba.

even if u give that boy 10m today, give him 1yr and he will be back on the streets.

Re: I Met Abdulahi Olatoyan At Maryland Traffic Cleaning Windscreen Today! by joey150(m): 5:46pm On Jun 18, 2016
Is he the only one on the street?
I just took a walk and i saw many other youths hustuling too. Why is he special? Because he wore the wrong clothes for a job.

Just imagine?!

This country irks me so bad. Even when he has chosen to go back to his job, you all just wont let him be.

Take the poor off the streets in your vicinity first, if you care so much about them.

I see your point but I don't believe he would simply have left the apartment just like that, there must be more to it. We only have one side of the story so far and I didn't feel it was fair people judging him based on only one side. In any case, I guess it is his life and his choice - as long as he is doing a honest job.

Maybe he is content with what he is doing. Taking him away from it may even end up leaving him depressed and unfulfilled; strange as it may sound. Some folks just want to live a simple life.

nd I say lolzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz again


His profile read that he is a Unilorin dropout, the best help You can give him is to open a carwash for him. Forget media paparazzi, We are in Nigeria where certificates matter @leaat as a leverage

He can't even enter Npower

At least small cash to start business isn't a bad idea. He doesn't need a certificate for that na
