Physically Challenged Man Controls Traffic In Lagos (Photos) by dainformant(m): 1:30pm On Aug 31, 2017
A physically challenged man identified as Sani Labaran, fends for himself and family by driving a tricycle a.k.a 'Keke Napep' and also by controlling traffic in Lagos. Despite his condition, the married father of two made a decision not to beg as some others do to survive. Read his story below as shared by the Humans of Lagos.

I have been in Lagos for the past fifteen years. I was a bicycle repairer before then and came here to hustle.

Due to my decision not to beg, I started controlling traffic. I've worked around Guiness road, Toyin Street, Olowu and Eko Idumota. Some people give me money when they see me working.

I have been disabled for as long as I can remember. If I wasn't, I would have loved to be a soldier. But with things being this way, I still struggle to survive.

I have a wife and two children who are in Zamfara with my parents. Asides helping the community to manage the traffic, I also drive a Maruwa. It is not mine so I pay N1500 to the owner from the 3K or N3500 I make daily. What is left after fueling it is what I take home.

I dream of owning a Maruwa and be empowered someday. My name is Sani Labaran, my friends call me Sani Abacha. I am 35 years old and come from Gumi local government area of Zamfara.

This is my story.

Good for him. In saner climes people like these are catered for my their governments. But not in this jungle.
They would rather buy cars for senators and buy houses for emirs.

Useless zoo!!

Go and meet Buhari, Atiku, Lai Mohammed and your northern brothers to buy you a keke napep
Meanwhile if you dare stop me while controlling your traffic, I will make sure you never use that hand again.
