    Is this another Olajumoke Orisaguna story – the bread seller turned model?

    Abdulahi Olatoyan was on his daily job of cleaning windows when a photographer Daniel Sync decided to take photos of him.

    At first, Abdulahi was angry at his photos being taken but he calmed down when he realised that it was out of fascination.

    According to photographer Sync, “He is the first suited windscreen cleaner I have ever seen. We need more innovative citizens like Abdulahi in Nigeria”.

    Abdulahi Olatoyan is a university dropout in his early thirties. He turned to the streets to make a living and save enough money to start his own business. Olatoyan says he hopes to return to school one day and finish his studies.

    “I didn’t want to be wandering the streets doing nothing” he explains, adding he wanted to make sure people knew he was serious about his work.

    The photographs have since gone viral – with Olatoyan offered a job at Nigerian clothing line OUCH.

    OUCH’s designer posted the picture on his Instagram page offering a job to Olatoyan and listing seven reasons why he deserved the job. He asked his 18,000 followers to help track down Olatoyan.

    Olatoyan has now been a offered a job as a ‘style doctor’ at the menswear brand: “I have a team of young people that I call style doctors,” says Nnaji, “when I saw him I thought this person is someone that likes looking good and can style others”.

    “I saw attitude in him and thought if this man is doing this just to go and wash cars, he is someone that will work with a different mindset even if he’s doing the least popular job in the company” he added.
    Olatoyan will soon begin offering his own distinctive opinions on style and taste to customers.
