It’s no longer news that the dapper windscreen cleaner is back on the street after he left Uche Nnaji. He was spotted in a black suit somewhere in Lagos. Read why Abdullahi Olatoye is Back on the street again
His supposed helper-the outfit entity that picked him up when his story went viral claimed to have enrolled Abdullahi in the National Open University, but Abdullahi told me it was not a true news. He was neither taught any trade nor given any benefit. In fact, he had to sort himself out for transportation anytime he was to meet the bandwagon of Nigerian helpers. For the record, news have been flying around vilifying Abdullahi, he was said to run back to windscreen cleaning work as ‘HE CANNOT DO ANY OTHER THING’. Posts have gone on instagram and other media, but Abdullahi’s version could not be heard as his post to express his side was blocked from Instagram. He was advised by agents of these ‘helpers’ to keep mute as saying anything will tarnish his image. Abdullahi did, but his situation makes a deafening noise.
His helpers had expected that picking him up will mean a boost in their fortune- that some multinational companies would come and their stories will change too, but did Abdullahi assure them of a partnership with Glo or Shell in the first place? How many apparitions of men do we have to run from? Crooked keepers of faith and religion? Bosses and relatives with sinister agenda? Neighbours with negative motives? The fury of the wealthy? The anger of the poor? And the gimmicks of the helper? Maybe Abdullahi was different, but I saw a video interview of the unilag guy where he claimed he was not given accommodation as promised and circulated by the humans of this nation.
Abdullahi sought my help in broadcasting his version and I shall feature his unedited account tonight. I shall consult friends on Instagram and twitter to do same. I have his contacts and links for any Nigerian with the heart of a human. Abdullahi Is not looking for overnight success, he Is only asking for an opportunity to compete. Is that too much to ask for? Or his original crime is being born in Nigeria?
