Nigerian Man Who Roast Corns In Dubai For A Living (see Pictures) by Danisaint112(m): 12:40pm On Jan 04, 2020

A Nigerian man by name Obinna has opened up on how he makes a living by selling roasted corn in Dubai.
According to a post on Anambra State Online Facebook wall, Obinna, a citizen of the state, moved to Dubai and after his efforts to hook a job failed, he decided to start selling roasted corn for a living.
Mr. Obinna revealed how it all started.
“My name is Obinna. I am from Njikoka in Anambra State, when I arrived in Dubai and couldn’t find a job, so I decided to think about what to do to make a living.
One day, while I was in a local restaurant, a man came in and placed an order. When the waiter came with the order, it was Chicken With Mashed Potato and Grilled Corn but the corn was not roasted in the Nigerian way as we do it with coals.
“That was when the idea came and I decided to give it a try. I contacted a local farmer who supplied me with raw corns and I started roasting them close to my neighbourhood across the street.
“At first, people who passed by looked at me with curiosity as they had never seen anything of its kind up until one man approached me and I gave him one corn cob to taste.
On eating it, he liked it and the following day, he came with 4 of his friends who bought and even took some home.”
Now I’m making about 60 to 80 Dirham (22$USD)(N8,000) daily.”, he said.
What a hard-working man he is.

8000.. Daily This is why I advice young people to choose a better country and secure a good job before travelling out of the country...

He has done well for himself... At least he his not idle I know many Nigerian boys in Dubai that don't have a job and they are there doing nothing but playing bets each day to survive...

That's a great spirit... But with the money you earn and you are not in Nigeria expectations will be on you from family that sees there brother that is outside the country ......

You should have used you processing fee and flight money to buy a corolla and start up on bolt

Those guys save more on a dailies

There are unlimited opportunities in the world today than ever before, in history. But they can only be unlocked and utilized well when we promote creativity. Unfortunately, youths and elders of today have stopped reasoning and thinking positively, they now embrace ignorance, and turn to dirty and illegal ways to become successful as a normal way of life. And this will always have a negative effect on the next generation.



What a pity!

Kudos to him. From the background you can tell that's not dubai though, most likely somewhere in the UK or Europe in general.

Though it's foolish to go roast corn all the way in Dubai instead of Aba

I commend him for not going into crime, drugs especially.
