In an interview with a local laundry man who has never use washing
machine and used a charcoal iron for
ironing, speaks about his passion for washing peoples
cloth and ironing them for the past years.
Can we meet you sir?
My name is USMAN AIYA, am from
Kaduna state. I am married with 2 kids
How long have you been doing
this job?
5 years ago
Has it always been your dream
in doing this job or did you find yourself doing it?
My passion has always been in
shoe cobbling, to make shoe for people but when I got to Lagos I changed
my mind to another business which is laundry because I love washing cloths
and ironing
How did you start?
It has been God all this
while, I don’t have advertisement anywhere and people have been patronizing me and for the past years have been doing this job I have never used a
washing machine and I have never had any cause for any customer to complain about
my job despite my small place
Do you do home services?
Yes. I don’t only render
services to the people within my community, but also in other places such as Ebuta Metta, Masha Kilo, Lagos island to do home service. Doing home services
pays more because I charge more money than people bringing the cloth for
me at home.
What is your advice for
Nigerian?
There is no limitation to any
business. I urge all Nigerians to endeavor in effort toward maintaining
their talent, for which we are known African have talent.
