A 35-year-old Nigerian man shared a moving story about how he worked two hard jobs in Lagos after vowing not to beg for his condition. The married man and the father of the two, called Sani Labaran, also known as Sani Abacha, can not stand on both of his feet but take care of himself and his family by making a "Keke Napep" tricycle and controlling the movement of traffic.

He shared his story with Humans of Lagos. Read what they wrote below:
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. Did You ❤ ❤ this post? DROP A C.O.M.M.E.N.T ... spill TEA.... Easy on Shade #jaiyeorie
