Blind dry cleaner laments being cheated
Meanwhile, TheTalk.NG previously reported that a blind dry cleaner had lamented that people cheated him.
Anietie Akpan is a blind man who earns money dry cleaning clothes for his customers. The Lagos-based businessman acquired the skill before he lost the use of his eyes. In an interview with BBC News Pidgin, Anietie lamented that people dupe him due to his blindness.
He stated that new customers usually doubt his ability but get convinced after seeing their clothes washed, ironed and packaged as agreed. Akpan said that he lost his sight in 2005 and has visited physicians with no success.
