NO JOB IS SMALL, WHEN IT'S DONE WITH INTEGRITY.
She is a cleaner.
Yes… a cleaner.
But what moved me was how far she has taken that responsibility. She doesn’t just sweep floors or tidy offices, she goes outside under the sun, bends her back, rolls up her sleeves, and washes the buses 🚌 of her transport company with her own hands.
As I watched her work, something in me became emotional.
In a world where many people feel “too classy,” “too fine,” or “too educated” to do certain jobs, here is this graceful young woman… choosing humility over pride, choosing dignity over pretence, choosing honest work over easy shortcuts.
I walked up to her and praised her, truly praised her.
Because her kind is rare. Her kind is disappearing.
It is not every day you see a woman who is both beautiful in appearance and beautiful in character.
And then she said something that shook me to the core:
“I am happy doing the cleaning work.”
Happy?
The same work that many people would hide from?, that's why Nigeria is very dirty.
The same work society sometimes looks down on?
Yet she stands boldly, proudly, finding joy in what others call “ordinary.”
At that moment, I realized something:
Greatness is not always loud.
Sometimes, greatness appears in the form of a woman with soap on her hands, sweat on her forehead, and a heart full of gratitude.
Her story touched me deeply.
It reminded me that no job is small when it is done with integrity.
And no person is ordinary when they have a spirit like hers.
May God bless the work of her hands.
May her life be lifted.
And may more people learn from her strength, her humility, and her joy. ~ Jonathan Olakunle Olanlokun ~ The Nigerian Spiderman.
