"My co-workers helped me"

Olamide revealed that before becoming security guard, he had searched for jobs all around to no avail. The national diploma graduate said that he was only earning a pittance.

Lovely couple

Meanwhile, Briefly News earlier reported that a young physically challenged couple spoke about their situation as a couple. The wife, Kudirat Nurudeen Oseni, said that people always avoided them, thinking physical disability is contractable.

The husband, Nurudeen Oseni, said he is into liquid soap making. He revealed that even when it is raining heavily, he always goes out to make ends meet.

Oseni said he always makes extra effort because he knows his family has no helper. Kudirat said that when her husband wooed her, she wondered how they would cope, seeing that they are both physically limited.
