Photos: Meet Sosu Patrick, dapper Ghanaian roasted corn seller who dresses in suit
Meet Sosu Patrick, pictured above, the most elegant roasted corn and coconut seller in Accra, Ghana.
Captured by Kobby Blay, a Ghanaian photographer, Sosu Patrick, popularly known as SP is a 40-year-old vendor of a highly favored West African street delicacy, roasted corn and coconut.
In the pictures, which have since gone viral, Mr. Sosu is seen donning a suit, white shirt, a beaded tie of the Ghana flag colors topped with a wide-brimmed leather hat.
According to the Kobby Blay, Sosu narrated to him how his business had started some five years ago after he had “a dream that this was going to be his breakthrough”.
“I have some other children too, and they are in school where I hail from,” Sosu told Kobby Blay. “I have a quite a large farm and will soon complete my house.”
Sosu also says he maintains high level of hygiene. The stylish corn seller believes he is probably Accra’s “best seller of good healthy roasted corn” as he doesn’t allow his customers to touch the corn until after they have purchased it from him.
“I don’t want my customers to blame me for cholera”, he concluded.
