Things are fast falling into place for Mary Daniel, the 26-year-old amputee water hawker and her life is showing significant transformation. The single mum, who used to sell bottled water on highways in the Oshodi area of Lagos, marked her 27th birthday on Friday with fanfare. She relocated to Lagos in March, hawking bottled water in chaotic traffic and passing the night on the balcony of a building on Suwebatu Street, Oshodi. Remarkably, Daniel is also an employer of labour in waiting, with two persons to work with her at the supermarket. They will relocate to Lagos and join me in running the supermarket.
