A Nigerian witter user @Muniirr has taken to Twitter to share photos from the opening ceremony of his mom’s filling station. He also recounted how his mom sold kerosene in cans, before finally getting to own her own filling station.He tweeted;
Grew up watching My Mum selling kerosine from a 20litres can. Years later here she is opening her own station after operating under other dealers . Superwoman ! The real Hustler ! Rabi Oil way ! #Zerofuelscarcity#Mummy’sBoy
This is coming after a Nigerian photographer and filmmaker, Ejiro Onobrakpor took to Instagram to celebrate his mother, who now lives in America. According to him, his mum used to sell rice to conductors and drivers at a bus stop in Ajegunle, a slum in Lagos.
He wrote;
I reckon, there’s nothing more joyful than the feeling of a child that grew up in the slums to see his mom that gave up everything, including the clothes on her back to give him and his siblings an education live to taste and enjoy the labour of her love.
