Before now, many Nigerians believed that selling suya (marinated spicy meat) was exclusively for people from Northern Nigeria until Felix Eden came to the limelight.
Felix is an Igbo youth who has changed the narrative by selling suya for a living.
The young man proudly shared his on-the-job pictures in the Facebook group Popular Nigerian Dishes and surprised many people.
