Check out How Nigeria’s poor make the rich richer



As early as 7am on any day, Abdullahi Shuwa, pushes out the cart he uses to produce water around a neighbourhood in Ikeja, Lagos.
The 24-year-old man pushes the cart with 10 empty 25-litre kegs to a borehole where in fact the landlord of the home allows him to fill them at N10 each.
Shuwa is an indigenous of Niger State but speaks Yoruba fluently.
“I came to Lagos quite a long time ago. I git married here,” he told Saturday PUNCH.
If one is to consider the enthusiasm with which Shuwa carries out his daily routine of pushing his heavily-laden cart across the neighbourhood in search of customers, it's possible to conclude he makes a bundle from the business.
