The neatly dressed man pictured above sells doughnuts at
Uyo, the Akwa Ibom state capital. Lawyer, Inibehe Effiong shared the
photos on facebook this morning. Someone even commented that he is a
student of the University of Uyo. Quite commendable! See another photo
of him after the cut...

ReplyDeleteIt gladdens my heart every time I see people like this who try to maintain their dignity regardless of what they do.And Linda kudos to you for giving this man recognition
ReplyDeleteToday’s society is characterized by achievement orientation, and consequently it adores people who are successful and happy and, in particular, it adores the young. It virtually ignores the value of all those who are otherwise, and in so doing blurs the decisive difference between being valuable in the sense of dignity and being valuable in the sense of usefulness.
If one is not cognizant of this difference and holds that an individual’s value stems only from his present usefulness, then, believe me, one owes it only to personal inconsistency not to plead for euthanasia along the lines of Hitler’s program, that is to say, ‘mercy’ killing of all those who have lost their social usefulness, be it because of old age, incurable illness, mental deterioration, or whatever handicap they may suffer. Confounding the dignity of man with mere usefulness arises from conceptual confusion
People like this ought to be celebrated over and over again !
THAT'S HIS SELLING POINT
ReplyDeleteAUNTY LINDA 👩
PLEASE KINDLY FOLLOW ME ON LIS @OKECHUKWU NNODUECHI
Wow, but will never buy hawked doughnuts sha
ReplyDeleteLong Live LIB
Its well o na condition cause am
ReplyDeleteOne thing I've noticed in Nigeria is that most people don't want to engage in small scale businesses, they all want either white collar jobs or engage in big businesses, nobody wants to start small and the concept dignity in labour is not for most Nigerian youths, they'll rather beg on Linda's blog or keep blaming the government instead of starting something no matter how small. I bake and I know this big box of doughnuts this man is carrying, he'll sell at least 2 boxes a day and he won't make nothing less tha N3000 profit daily, mulriply by 28days which is excluding Sundays that's about N84,000 monthly! Some salary earners don't earn that much, high time people engage themselves gainfully than crying wolf all the time
ReplyDeleteEte Akamba Ete,everlasting father.
ReplyDeleteGod bless his hustle.

ReplyDeleteOk
ReplyDeleteThis man lived and sell doughnuts in Ojota-Lagos for years. Everyone that lived in Ojota msut have encountered him selling.We used to call him "chop better" because that's usually the slogan he uses to sell. Never knew he has relocated and continued his trade in his home state.
ReplyDeleteAkwa Ibom people are known to be very clean people...cleanliness is their nature
ReplyDeleteThat's packaging
ReplyDeleteEya. Quite commendable. I'm humbled.

ReplyDeleteNna nawah 4 u oh is that why u are so pained so ur tribe ppl are all saints biko si eba puo onye ara
Delete@Anonymous 11:43, you are clearly another hater and "murderer" of the innocents. A beast with a human face. Ironically, you could be some fake pastor/prophet/prayer warrior in your fake place of worship touting how much you love Jesus. Yet, what does that really mean when with the same tongue you sow division and spew hatred among creation every chance you get? Unam
DeleteAm I pained? Hell no! I'm just disappointed that your family has full blown idiot roving the street. Get a life mate.
DeleteI'm sure you don't even know where that man comes from. I'm also sure you don't even know where the city of calabar is on the Nigerian map. Go get a life mate!
DeleteYou are more that a fool and you just a waste to humanity
DeleteGood one
ReplyDeletesend this image to akwa ibom state govt and the federal government. no job in the land. hardest way of survival while there is looting in gorvenment quarters
ReplyDeleteThis breaks my heart but also encourages me. I have been blessed and I am still blessed by God. I am not Nigerian (not that it matters) but when you are clean, I may be encouraged to buy from you or even get you something to drink whilst hustling. God bless your market.
ReplyDeleteIn Yaoundé; Cameroon, there is a blind man who sells buckets and he carries these and walks round Melen to cite Verte. I was amazed and how he can tell the paper money and prayed he never ever gets cheated. He doesn't have any helper but he does this daily. I've been spoilt by God I tell you. God bless you all
Hi,
ReplyDeletei will like to assist this man if i can get his bank details.
As for calabar people being called those names...you need to get your facts right.
FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR MR UDOKA, THE EXEMPLARY DOUGHNUT SELLER
DeleteFellow Nigerians,
Humanity requires that we stand-up for one another whenever occasion demands. Earlier today, I posted photos of a certain man that sells doughnut around the Uyo metropolis in Akwa Ibom State.
I was moved by two factors: the first was the fact that despite his age, the man is going about under the scorching sun selling to cater for himself and his family. The second was his unique mode of dressing which portrays him as a clean and polished Nigerian that believes in the aphorism that there is dignity in labour.
This propelled me to seek after the identity of the man. I have finally gotten in contact with him and his particulars are as follows:
His name is Mr. Lawrence-White Etim Udoka, an indigene of Etim Ekpo LGA of Akwa Ibom State. He was born on February 22, 1972 (44 yrs of age). He is married with two children (male and female). Mr. Udoka is presently a 200 level student of the Department of Political Science Education in the School of Continuing Education, University of Uyo. His daughter is presently a student of the Department of Public Administration, University of Uyo. Mr. Udoka's wife and son are based in Lagos State where he used to stay before he gained admission into the University of Uyo. He used to do this same business in Lagos before his return to Akwa Ibom State.
Please note that it is from the meagre profit that Mr. Udoka makes from selling doughnuts (puff puff) that he uses to sponsor himself and his daughter in the university. It is also from his modest profit that he feeds and caters for his wife and other family responsibilities.
I have decided to support his business, family and education with some financial resources. Please join me. No amount is too small or too big. Our strength lies in our unity and sense of brotherhood. Do not listen to the words of the cynics who will never see anything good in this type of humanitarian endeavour. Like in previous occasions, I will not accept or take one kobo from whatever assistance anyone may give to Mr. Udoka.
People like Mr. Udoka offers hope for our nation. He is a role model and deserves our support. By supporting him, others will appreciate that entrepreneurship and self-development are worthy causes. He has proven that dreams and ambitions are never too big for those who dare to dream.
With the express approval and consent of Mr. Udoka, please send, transfer or deposit your assistance to the Account details below:
BANK: ECO BANK
ACCT/NAME: LAWRENCE ETIM UDOKA WHITE
ACC/NO:1013006291
ACCT/TYPE: SAVINGS.
N/B:
After sending your assistance to the above account (which belongs to Mr. Udoka), kindly send an sms to 07016358381 stating your name (it will not be disclosed) and the amount. I just want to keep track of the donations. I intend to declare the total amount donated in due course.
Mr. Udoka has prayed that "God should bless everyone tremendously".
PLEASE CIRCULATE AND SHARE THIS POST.
May God replenish you. Thank you.
