"I got frustrated and started thinking of what else to do since no one wanted to employ me as a driver, so why I spent days thinking about it, I remembered that I used to work in a car wash several years ago, so I decided to go look for work in a car wash, that was how I saw a sign board along my street and called the number, as God may have it, the man already has all the equipment for car wash business and a good location, so I went into partnership with him to re-open the place since it has been locked for a while.
"So the first day I started the work, I just took pictures and put it on my X handle, I didn't even expect the post to go viral, but I give God praise."
