"So, I left barbing for good. I started looking for a unique business and I sought advice from my dad and people.
"But the advice that stood out was going into cooking. My dad advised I go into suya and that I should contract a Hausa man who would sell for me and give me returns.
"I heeded and did as he advised but took over the business as the Hausa man I contracted wasn't doing the business satisfactorily and was unavailable sometimes."
Netizens hailed him, saying his suya looked neater and better packaged.

Hausa man selling suya becomes a model
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a Hausa man who sells suya had become a model.
In a short video documentary shared by @onlyinnigeria on Instagram, the man said he has a wife, children and relatives.
At the start of the video, he could be seen tending to his suya trade. Seconds into the clip, he got a good haircut at a barbing salon.
A stylist tended to his beards. After the haircut, he looked so different. In his modelling shoot, he posed like a pro.
