This is probably the most stylish window cleaner you have ever come across. There are so many of them in Lagos who look so scruffy and some of them even hurl insults at motorists who refuse to get their windscreens cleaned by them.
This squeegee man, Abdulahi Olaotan was spotted by photographer, David Sync in Abeokuta, South West Nigeria. He then rushed to the office to pick up his camera. The photographs have since gone viral - with Olatoyan being offered a job at Nigerian clothing line OUCH.
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 has now been offered a position as '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.
