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.

Right engine of British Airways plane stops working before take-off at Abuja Airport
We got a call this yesterday from one Ọmọ Oódua reader inside a British Airways flight at the Abuja International Airport. They told us that the BA 8:30 flight to London was preparing to take off when the right engine of the plane just stopped working. They heard a noise and then smoke. The plane had to be towed back to the tarmac.
As at the last time we spoke with one of them, engineers were trying to fix the engine. We even heard the pilot making an announcement. They are not sure if the flight will continue or if it will be cancelled, but they are all still inside the plane at the moment. BA has been given 40 minutes to fix the engine or the flight will be cancelled...for safety reasons. Will keep you .
Update: All passengers have been asked to leave the plane
Update 2: The flight has been cancelled
