In Streetwise episode 4, we had Usman, a cobbler and security officer who makes a living to take care of himself and his family of eight back home in the north.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He relies on the daily income from working as a cobbler to survive, while he sends his full security officer salary to his family back home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During our conversation with Usman, he talked to us about how he had been working these two jobs for the past 7 years and how his financial priority at the moment is his family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is there another way to prioritize your family’s present and still save for their future? Absolutely. But with his earnings, we recognise that it’s easier said than done.<\/p>\n\n\n

We asked him the second one of our golden questions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“If you received 1 million naira right now, what would you do with it?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His answer showed that he had goals for a lucrative business in Lagos other than what he currently does, and it was especially commendable that he answered the question without a second thought. He even answered it with a smile on his face and a gleam of hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Usman is not much of a talker, so this is the shortest episode yet, but Streetwise episode 4 is one you should watch if you love realistic human stories. Tap on the video below and get to watching! It’s only five minutes long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
