26-year-old, Mary Daniel, who was amputated at age 11 said hunger will kill her, daughter and grandmother if she doesn’t hawk in Lagos traffic.<\/p>\n

The single mother said her resolve not to beg on the streets turned her into a hawker of bottled water on the highways in Oshodi, one of Lagos\u2019 busiest cities.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t like begging because I believe I have the strength to work and cater for myself,\u201d she declared. \u201cI know I am not lazy and I took the decision not to beg. Some who are begging don\u2019t even make as much as I do daily. Some people, out of pity, will gift me N1,000 or N2,000 after buying water from me.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added, \u201cI wish to have a shop of my own so that I can have a better means to take care of my daughter and grandma. I used to have one artificial leg but it was painful whenever I wore it. So I decided to be using a crutch.\u201d<\/p>\n

In an interview with The PUNCH<\/a>, she revealed how her legs were amputated at 11, how she became a single mother and more.<\/p>\n

Growing up in Katsina State where she lived with her parents, Daniel nursed dreams of a regular child. She wanted to have formal education<\/a> and aspired to a great future. She was in Primary four when her beautiful hopes were dashed in December 2006 on the highway.<\/p>\n

That fateful day, she and her parents were travelling to their country home in Ayingba, Kogi State, for Yuletide, when they were involved in a fatal accident<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Her parents and some others died in the crash that crushed her right leg. That was all she could remember until days later when she was left with a leg.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI was just 11-year-old then so I couldn\u2019t really remember everything that happened,\u201d Daniel said bleakly as she narrated her plight to our correspondent inside the complex in Oshodi. \u201cMy leg was shattered and it had to be amputated. Doctors said I would die if it was not cut,\u201d she remarked grimly, adjusting her position on a bench she sat on.<\/p>\n

She added, \u201cMy siblings didn\u2019t travel with us that year. My younger brother, Godwin, is now living with my aunt in the village while my elder sister, Esther, lives in Abuja. She\u2019s married but living from hand to mouth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Months after her leg healed, Daniel reawakened her dying dreams. She relocated to the village and returned to school. But just when she thought she was on the right track to success, another bombshell dropped.<\/p>\n

\u201cI dropped out at JSS 3,\u201d she mumbled. \u201cI was going to school on a government scholarship but they stopped paying my fees. That was 2014.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thereon, she sought solace in hawking, moving from Anambra to Delta and then Lagos.<\/p>\n

She recounted, \u201cI relocated to Onitsha (Anambra State) and started selling sachet water. I use the gains I make to feed myself and send some money to my grandmother in the village. She is over 70 years old and I don\u2019t want hunger to kill her.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2018, grandma told me a man in the village wanted to marry me and she asked me to come home. While we were dating, I got pregnant but he denied being responsible for the pregnancy.<\/p>\n

\u201cOut of shame, I relocated to Asaba (Delta State) and continued hawking sachet water. I squatted with a woman from our village for some months before I rented an apartment.<\/p>\n

\u201cA car brushed my arm while I was hawking in traffic. I was heavily pregnant then. One man saw me bleeding and gave me N100,000. I used the money to rent a small apartment and bought some baby things. I gave birth in 2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

She only had a two-week \u2018maternity leave\u2019 before she returned to the streets, manoeuvring the traffic to sell water with her baby strapped to the back.<\/p>\n

She continued, \u201cI decided to come to Lagos about two weeks ago because I was not selling well in Asaba. I sold my home appliances to raise the fare. My daughter is with the woman I lived with in Asaba. She is now in Ayingba with my baby. My grandma didn\u2019t know I am now in Lagos. Last week, I sent N8,000 to my grandma and I want to send N10,000 to her again this week. I am the only one taking care of her.<\/p>\n

\u201cI met with a woman selling noodles and I explained my plight to her. She linked me up with one Alhaja from whom I buy packs of bottled water. I buy a pack for N600 and make N240 gain. I sell six to eight packs per day and make a profit of N1,000 to N1,500. I save N500 daily. I want to send the money for the upkeep of my daughter at the end of the month.\u201d<\/p>\n

Twice, passengers had gone with her money while waiting for them to pay after giving them water.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first time was on Wednesday and today (Friday). The vehicles they were in moved when the traffic eased off and I couldn\u2019t run after them to collect my money,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Daniel also takes a fair slice of the risks that come with street trading. Tactful navigation around gridlock is an art any regular trader must learn in traffic to avert deadly hazards. And Daniel has learnt to be more adept at it given her vulnerable condition.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hawk in traffic around Terminal 1, Bolade and markets around Oshodi,\u201d she disclosed. \u201cI wait for traffic to be standstill and dash to the road to sell to commuters. I will retreat to the roadside once the traffic eases off and returns immediately there is another standstill. It is stressful but I use drugs in the evening to kill pains.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even night is not a comforter for Daniel after an onerous task in the day. She sleeps outside under the cold and grating sound of mosquitoes feasting on her.<\/p>\n

\u201cI sleep on the balcony and passage of a house over there,\u201d she said, pointing at a storey building on Suwebatu Street. \u201cI hardly sleep at night because of mosquitoes,\u201d she lamented, before breaking down in tears. \u201cSo I usually pray at night,\u201d she added after a long pause.<\/p>\n

Daniel said she always takes a short nap after the first round of hawking in the morning to make up for the sleepless night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
