''My name is Abiodun Mana. This is my job and I have no shame. I have been a vulcanizer for 21 years. For me it is not about the job you do. It is how committed you are to the job you do. For years I have been saving every week. I bought my first motorcycle, then second and now 9th...''
''...Saving was not easy because it meant I could not buy clothes and shoes or go to beer parlor to buy alcohol. Even for my wedding I couldn't buy a lot of things for my wife's bride price. I told her we need to save for our future
With this vulcanizer job, I also consider myself a transporter. Because I now own 9 motorcycles that I maintain and get money from everyday. My 3 children go to private schools. Even though some parents in that school don't want to associate themselves with me, I am okay. As long as my family is happy, I am okay
There is no shame in my work, I am a happy man and in my own way, I am successful.''
