Dressing in a suit is very common in Ghana but those who wear suits are the officers workers or those heading to church for worship. For Daniel Nartey, 25, the sort of job he does has not stopped him from wearing a suit too.

Daniel wears his suit to hawk water melon around Madina in Accra and that is how he makes his living. According to the BBC, when asked why he dresses this way, Daniel said;

“My pastor always says dress well no matter the job you do, so I decided to wear a suit. Some laugh at me, others encourage me and are willing to help me“

Daniel says his dressing gives him an edge which helps him make 100 % profit after sales

“I make 100% profit. I think it is because of how I dress, people notice me easily and want to buy from me,” Mr Nartey said.

Daniel is reported to be a primary school teacher who sells watermelon during weekends and when the school is on vacation. Currently, he is saving up to buy an oven and wants to one day own his own snack bar.

Isn’t it interesting to see a young man doing this for himself and in a very decent suit?
