Ofunaofu: Look At Me Today, My Mother Sold Akara, I Carried Bananas On My Head To Markets In Plateau- Dare
A video that was posted on the official X account of Mic on The Podcast on Saturday, June 27, 2026 has captured the moment Sunday Dare, the Special Adviser to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Public Communication was saying he has sold Akara before.
This came after the First Lady of Nigeria, Oluremi Tinubu listed some businesses that Nigerians can begin with small capital.
In the video that surfaced online, Sunday Dare stated that there is nothing bad in selling Akara or roasting corn. He said he hawked bananas to several markets in Jos.

This is different from the usual longitudinal drawings we see in textbooks. This student was told to draw again.
My feedback would have been: "This is a beautiful drawing of a skeleton. A longitudinal drawing would have been appropriate for this subject."

Politics › Re: The Akara Economy: Why The Elite Often Misunderstand Grassroots Empowerment. by Achor1111(m): 10:27am On Jun 28 |
CharlesCNG: One of the biggest mistakes in Nigerian politics is assuming that everyone lives in the same economic reality.
They don't.
The debate over Senator Oluremi Tinubu's comments about akara and kuli-kuli exposed something deeper than politics. It exposed a disconnect between many middle-class commentators and the daily realities of millions of Nigerians.
To someone earning a salary every month, ₦50,000 may look insignificant.
To a widow selling akara, roasted yam, boiled corn, kuli-kuli or cashew nuts, ₦50,000 can be working capital. It is the difference between buying today's stock with borrowed money and buying it outright. It is the difference between surviving and expanding.
Years ago, I personally experienced this.
I gave five widows ₦30,000 each to buy cashew nuts. They repackaged them into smaller bottles and sachets for resale. Within three months, every one of them had repaid the money. We then revolved the same capital to another five women.
That small intervention did not create software engineers. It created sustainable micro-businesses.
That is the point many critics miss.
Not every Nigerian needs a laptop before they can be economically productive. Nigeria's economy is layered. A graduate may benefit from digital skills and technology. A market woman may benefit more from affordable working capital. A roadside food vendor may simply need enough money to increase inventory.
As food prices have risen, another trend has emerged. Demand for lower-cost prepared foods such as roasted yam, akara, bread-and-akara ("akara burger"wink, boiled maize and similar street foods has increased in many communities because they remain relatively affordable. That, in turn, has created opportunities for thousands of small traders operating with modest capital.
This is not an argument against technology or digital empowerment.
It is an argument against one-size-fits-all thinking.
Successful social policy recognises that poverty is not uniform. The needs of a graduate seeking employment are different from those of a widow selling vegetables, or a hawker financing her daily stock on credit.
Politics is ultimately about understanding people where they are, not where we wish they were.
If the opposition wants to become electorally competitive, it must spend more time listening in markets than arguing on social media.
The grassroots are not asking politicians to solve every problem overnight. Many are asking for something much simpler: enough capital to take the next step.
Sometimes, the journey out of poverty does not begin with millions of naira.
Sometimes, it begins with one basin of akara. Trash. Billions will be wasted in vain, and you advise people you tax to finance your government to start akara business, are you okay? Data boy, are you okay? |

ryloy: 1.Fiscal Reforms and Revenue Generation
The removal of the fuel subsidy has freed up significant resources, leading to a surge in federation revenues and more funds flowing to states and local governments for infrastructure, salaries, and development. Government revenues have improved considerably, reducing dependence on borrowing to fund recurrent expenditure.
2.Local Government Autonomy
The push for financial autonomy for local governments is a major structural reform. It aims to ensure that funds allocated to local governments reach them directly, thereby improving grassroots development, accountability, and service delivery across communities.
3. Tax Reform
Ongoing tax reforms seek to simplify the tax system, reduce multiple taxation, improve compliance, expand the tax net, and create a more business-friendly environment. The goal is to increase government revenue without overburdening productive businesses.
4. GDP Growth and Economic Stabilization
Q1 2026 recorded growth of approximately 3.89%. The non-oil sector continues to contribute the majority of GDP, indicating gradual economic diversification. Foreign exchange reforms and improved macroeconomic management have helped restore investor confidence and support economic expansion.
5.Banking Sector Reform and Recapitalisation
The Central Bank's recapitalisation programme is strengthening Nigerian banks, enabling them to finance larger projects, support economic growth, withstand external shocks, and compete more effectively on the global stage.
6. Credit Reform
Efforts to improve access to credit through credit reporting systems, consumer lending frameworks, and support for SMEs are gradually expanding financial inclusion and economic participation.
7. Education Access Through NELFUND and Academic Stability
Over 1.5 million students are benefiting from student loan programmes, significantly improving access to tertiary education. Government engagement with stakeholders has also contributed to a relatively more stable academic calendar compared to previous years characterized by prolonged strikes.
8. Health Sector Reform
Increased investments in primary healthcare, health insurance expansion, and initiatives aimed at reducing medical tourism are laying the foundation for a stronger healthcare system including training and engagement of 774 health fellows and rebuilding of health centers across Nigeria
9. Minimum Wage Reform
The approval of a new national minimum wage represents a significant improvement in workers' earnings and purchasing power, especially amidst inflationary pressures.
10. Police Reform and Security Investments
Increased investments in equipment, technology, intelligence gathering, and welfare for security personnel demonstrate commitment to improving national security. Passage of State Police bill also indicate willingness to explore constitutional solutions to insecurity.
11. Strengthening Foreign Reserves and FX Stability
External reserves have risen significantly, reaching multi-year highs. Improved reserve levels enhance the country's ability to defend its currency, meet external obligations, and attract foreign investment. Exchange rate volatility has also moderated compared to earlier periods of severe instability.
12. Infrastructure Development and Completion of Abandoned Projects The administration has accelerated work on major highways, rail projects, dams, airports, and energy infrastructure. Several previously abandoned projects have been revived, improving connectivity and supporting economic growth.
13. Power Sector Reform One of the most significant reforms has been the decentralization of electricity generation and distribution. States and private investors now have greater authority to generate, transmit, and distribute power, effectively breaking the long-standing monopoly structure. This opens the door for increased investment and improved electricity supply.
14. Improved Electricity Metering Metering coverage has reportedly improved from roughly 40% to about 60%, reducing estimated billing and increasing transparency for consumers. While challenges remain, the progress is noteworthy.
15. ₦4 Trillion Power Sector Bond Intervention The planned ₦4 trillion bond infusion is expected to address liquidity constraints within the power sector, settle legacy debts, improve market confidence, and support long-term investments in generation, transmission, and distribution infrastructure.
16. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and Investor Confidence Economic reforms, FX market adjustments, and regulatory improvements are gradually rebuilding investor confidence. While FDI inflows remain below desired levels, Nigeria is increasingly being positioned as a destination for long-term investment. Add this too Telling us that the bandit/ terrorist police people were hailing are hunters and vigilante |

Romance › Re: Female Neighbor Threatening Me With Jail. by Achor1111(m): 8:26pm On Jun 25 |
papiSNEH: Good day everyone..
my narration may be long but please bear with me. i'm the type that loves keeping things low-key, minding my business and staying on my lane. I don't look for people's trouble but that doesn't mean if they look for mine i won't double it.
anyways long story short. i moved in into my present compound, mostly tenants here are family people. Apart exchanging pleasantries "Good morning",and "Good evening", i don't talk to any fellow tenant. and as someone who mostly works remote and into crypto, e no go hard them to tag me one name i just day my day.
so after like 2 or 3 months i parked in, then moved in a single lady that should be probably in her mid or late 30s but body her body na killer. she's always own her lane, goes to work early and back by evening,she constant keeps straight face and hardly greet or talk to anyone but a little soft when it's me. later i started noticing her kind of dodoyo eye contact.
i wasn't much surprise, one evening while i standing beside front of our estate's gate with the delivery bike-man receiving my package. as she was returning back from work, she walked up to me there and asked if i have eaten shawarma pointing one shawarma spot opposite end. saying yesterday was her first time trying their's and since then she haven't been her self...(in my mind was like why are you tell me all this or should i go and fight them?)....and that her day was hectic with diarrhea and fever all join. as we where going in, i asked hope she have taken medicine atlest to stop the running stomach she said yes but the ones she took ain't that effective and wants to get another one. i then told and directed her to a big pharmacy in our area, that after she gets home and freshens up she can go there and get the medicine. but she then insist that i must follow her, that she's tired and we going together will energize her. inside my mind i just smiled and talking inside me "watin u dey find for sokoto no worry e dey inside my shokoto, body go tell you soon". i didn't give her a forward answer i told her i'm going in, to try the package i just receive and do some few things but when she's done she can come to my apartment to call me if i'm less busy by then i will escort her to the pharmacy.
so from that very day that's how me and she became close, we started running parol and i dey constantly give her watin no good.. within me i know fully nothing is attached . my own is to keep the engine running for her Mr.Right to come drive the car away. i later got to know she's a bank in a top position too and she gallant well well. she has a large heart unless i didn't ask. her net worth can relocated family of 5 to US and they would hit the ground running immediately ..everything was matured and going smoothly but the only problem is the she's against us using bulletproof whenever we want to go to war cos she likes it raw...to my own understanding she's no longer a baby she will be tiding things up care of herself and taking after pills.
things have going on for over 8months now and no issues. so past Friday she came to my apartment telling lately she've not been feeling to well that on her back home, she branched the hospital to receive her result and that she's pregnant. immediately i asked her Pregnant ke? how? are you a baby ? don't you know how to prevent?.i then asked her what she wants about all this, she replied i should do what a man supposed to do.. supposed to do keh? of all the people in this world na banker i go come marry? people way too dey chop dem selfs office. colleague go chop, manger go chop even big customers ain't left out.. na watin innocent me wan come chop till i kpeme. I am 75% sure i'm the one that got her pregnant but DNA must clear the 25% doubt.
i then told her that i'm not ready for any of this. that i have goals to achieve and the one i score in her post is not one of them.. she went crazy after the drama she left but since then i have been receiving threatening messages and calls from unknown fellows but me i no send.. she can't rope me with belle.. i can't marry someone that's older than me. My Gee! Na you run this one! |
