A 35-year-old physically challenged man, Sani Labaran who hails from Zamfara has shared the inspiring story of how he refused to be confined to begging. He narrated some of his voluntary services he had rendered to the community and his past struggles to make ends meet.
Despite his condition, the father of two still remained strong and would not resolve to begging like some people would have done.
Here is his story;
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 Guinness 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.
