6-year-old auto mechanic goes viral on social media

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported about a 6-year-old Nigerian boy who works as an auto mechanic.

A man identified as Destiny had taken his car to Evbareke Auto Spare Parts Market when he came in contact with the young lad and took photos of him.

Destiny while praising Benjamin, highlighted the importance of learning a skill early in life as it was key to being good at one's job, especially in a country where a university degree doesn't guarantee a job after school.

While many people condemned it as they argued that Benjamin was being robbed of his childhood, others commended him for being hardworking despite his young age.
