Thatching for 17 years in Lagos

I've worked in thatching since 2009. I learned from my mother and passed what I could on to 370 apprentices.
The best compliment I ever got was a customer who called me back 24 years later for another job.
I'm still learning every day.
More about Yinka
Some of my old apprentices now run their own shops. I couldn't be prouder.
