A middle-aged man is quickly becoming an Internet sensation following a post on Facebook celebrating him for his determination to succeed.
A Facebook user identified as Inibehe Effiong, shared photos of the neatly dressed man selling doughnuts in Akwa Ibom and wrote:
"I
don't know this man from Adam and I do not care the part of the country
that he comes from.I am using this platform to celebrate his devotion
to his trade and admirable sense of cleanliness.
"He sells doughnut around the Uyo metropolis in Akwa Ibom State. Please patronize him anywhere you see him.
"At
a time that many Nigerians are seeking white collar jobs, the
entrepreneurial spirit of this man deserves commendation. He has by his
action given credence to the aphorism that there is dignity in labour.
"Instead
of resorting to crime, he has proudly engaged in this business to cater
for himself and his family. Anyone that sees this man should kindly
connect him with me. I want to support his business with my widow's
mite.
"If you wish to join me in
contributing financially to his business please indicate the amount (no
matter how small) in Your comment. Thank you. PLEASE SHARE UNTIL IT
GETS TO SOMEONE THAT KNOWS THIS MAN."
As fate would have it, Annie Idibia, happened to know the man she has identified as Mr White.
The Nollywood actress took to her Instagram page
to reveal that he had been a student at her Cake and Pastries class
during the Annie Idibia Care Foundation training in Awka Ibom.
As the name indicates, Annie's latest non-profit making venture which she launched in October, is geared towards women and youth empowerment.
