Car washes are a common sight throughout Nigeria, but Madinat Aliyu’s roadside business is special: she is the only woman car-washer in the north of the country.
“This job has caused me a lot of problems.” said the 27-year-old, checking cars waiting to be cleaned.
Aliyu began her work two years ago, hoping to use the 7,000 naira(about £28) she earned every month to put her younger sisters and brothers through school following the death of their mother, the only one who made money to support the family. But her family begged her to stop doing this job, and she has received “judgment and warnings” from strangers too.
“My grandmother cried for many days. Some people thought it was a joke to bring more customers. Others said if I was doing it for money, they would just give me money to stop bringing them shame,” she said to me, as she got water from a well by the roadside. “But I hate laziness and depending on somebody else.”
Little by little, Aliyu got admirers. “Some customers only allow her to wash their cars,” said her colleague Shamsudeen Mohammed. “I trained many green hands to wash cars, and I can honestly tell you Aliyu’ s work is better than any man’s.” he added.
Recently some women came to Aliyu to ask for advice on starting their own business. “Unfortunately a woman’s family discouraged her. I told her, if you listen to them, you will find yourself living a life you don’t want,” she said. Though she is still looked down upon by many, Aliyu has no plans to stop her work. “It is believed men can do something, but I believe I can do it too.”
