Fortune has smiled on a make up artist-turned street water hawker, Eniola after her encounter with a skit maker, Brain Jotter while she was hawking water on a Lagos road.
Moved by the physical disability of Eniola, Brain Jotter, who was just driving stopped to record a video of the hawker. In the video, it was revealed that Eniola is physically challenged with her two hands.
While she has only two fingers on one of the hands, she has three finders in the other. But even with these, she said she is a make up artiste using the five fingers to tie headgears for women and do make up for them.
According to her; “I am a makeup artist but the reason I’m selling bottle water is because I don’t know anybody in Lagos, I came from Osun state.”
However, the viral video has caught the attention of many Nigerians including afrobeat star, Davido who was intrigued about the fact that she’s from the same state as him, Osun state.
The Governor of Osun state, Ademola Adeleke, expressed his delight to see Eniola’s commitment to making an honest living despite her challenge.
“Thanks for sharing the video, Eniola’s dedication to making an honest living is inspiring.
“She embodies the qualities that represent Osun. I’ve directed my office to get in touch with her & explore possibilities to assist in advancing her education or improving her makeup skills.” He wrote.
