Born and living in a country were majority of the citizens strive, hustle and working tirelessly is a norm, my country might be the poorest country in the world, but the fact that we are hardworking people can’t be over looked. Nigerians don’t solely rely on a body other peoples of the world rely on, I was walking on the street to as usual to document street photography, then I came across this boy washing his head and body after so much work, He said he chose to work on a Saturday to make extra income cause he had no choice, rather than expecting manna to fall from heaven, I see another great man in him. Millions of children like him work tirelessly across the country and beyond, working to feed them self, working to sponsor their education and a lot of them work for their parents, it’s not expected of a civil society but we all have found our self in this.
