PHOTO OF 3YRS OLD NIGERIAN BOY THAT JOINS FATHER TO REPAIR KEKE


The lens of my super camera caught this duo working on a customer's tricycle popularly called Keke yesterday at Itikke Street, Off Ikot Ekpene Rd.

When I spotted them, I became curious and went to interview the mechanic identified as Mr Udeme Ibok.

Excerpts:

Me: Good afternoon sir.

Mr Udeme: Good afternoon my brother, you bring work?

Me: No sir, I saw you and the little boy working and became curious and decided to come and admire your work.

Mr Udeme: Ok no wahala.

Me: Who is he, your son orrrrrr..

Mr Udeme: (cuts in) he's my son. He is very strong.When he come back from school, he dey join me work for  here.

Me: How old is he? I think he's too small to start now to work.

Mr Udeme: Say who?? This my son know all the spanners and their numbers. I want am to dey repair aeroplane for  future so that he go remove me from poverty.

....There and then, he told the boy to get him 10 spanner, I was shocked to see this 3years old boy fiddle through the tool box and brought out number 10 spanner for the dad.

My heart melted. ....
I couldn't help but give him a tip to encourage him.

Is it proper to do this?
