Malam Hassan Isa, a 52-year-old nail-cutter, epitomizes resilience amidst adversity as he struggles to provide for his family of 10 during Ramadan on a meager income of N800 to N900 per day. Enduring the scorching sun and makeshift living conditions, Isa and his wife, Bilkisa, face the daily challenge of putting food on the table for their nine children.
Despite Bilkisa's meager earnings as a maid, the family often goes to bed hungry and relies on neighbors' generosity to break their fast. Living in abject poverty, Isa's family lacks necessities and struggles to afford healthcare and education expenses.
They call on the government for assistance, highlighting the plight of small-scale business owners like themselves. Isa's story sheds light on the harsh realities faced by many Nigerians living below the poverty line, struggling to make ends meet.
