I have been selling popcorn for over 3 years now. I was born in Osun State but went to secondary school in Ibadan and then technical school in Lagos. A year after I graduated from technical school a friend of mine also in the popcorn selling business introduced me to it. It doesn’t cover all my expenses and as a result I had to take up barbing as well. Despite the fact that we’re not earning a lot, Lagos KAI task officers make our lives a living hell. So from the little we have, we have to tip them to leave us alone. I’m happily married with my second child on the way and so far we are comfortable. If given the opportunity I wouldn’t mind leaving Lagos.
