They keep shopping for excuses but all their arguments have been comprehensively defeated.

⚫️ They ask if everybody must fry akara or they say that you should go and fry akara.

Who said that everybody must fry akara? She was speaking to people that she had given ₦50,000 grant and giving them advice on what they can invest in. You might not need it and that's OK, but she was speaking to those that need it, not you.

⚫️ Why akara?

The people that ask this question believe that frying akara is beneath them, so they ask why akara. Well, it's not just akara, there are scholarships, ICT training, business training, building and equipping of hospitals, clinics and schools, providing equipment to nurses and midwives and other interventions.

If akara frying is beneath you, then leave it for those who need it. All over the world there are people that make street food like hot dogs in the US and fish and chips in the UK. This class of people will benefit from such grants and micro-credit

⚫️ ₦50,000 can't finance akara business.
Everybody knows that's a big lie, but let's imagine that it's true. Then the beneficiaries will add some of their money or go into other business. They are not complaining, so why are you?

⚫️ It's government money.

No it's not. The Renewed Hope Initiative is an NGO that is funded by donations from people like Aliko Dangote, Abdulsamad Rabiu, Tony Elumelu, Sir Emeka Offor and Prince Arthur Eze and from companies like Keystone Bank, Zenith Bank and UBA. There's no budgetry allocation for it.

Every excuse they have brought has been defeated because the only real reason that they are opposed to it is because they hate the person that is doing it. That's the only reason. They would have proclaimed it as the best thing in the world if it was being done by a politician that they like.

But it's not about the person doing it, it is about the beneficiaries and it is pure wickedness to try to deny the beneficiaries of something that can make their lives better.

Authority1o1:
The debate as to whether the ₦50,000 empowerment made by Remi Tinubu, Nigeria's First Lady, is simply based on a realistic economic calculation and the acknowledgement of the existence of lower class will not end if a breakdown is not given.

So, what can such an amount afford for someone who wants to really go into akara business?

Here is a breakdown:

1. Gas cylinder (3kg): ₦25,000
2. Cooking gas (3kg): ₦1900 × 3 = ₦5700
3. 1 painter of white beans (depending on the location): approximately ₦5000
4. Groundnut oil (2 litres): approximately ₦4500
5. Medium-size frying pan: ₦11,000
6. Utensils and containers: ₦10,000
7. Ingredients (pepper, salt, Maggi etc): ₦2000
8. Beans grinding cost: say ₦500 per round.

TOTAL: ₦63,700

VERDICT: Even for low income earners, ₦50,000 is insufficient to start akara business.

Wizardslayer:
Madam you're right. But far from stupid policies and stupid incompetent leaders Nigerian politicians are super corrupt.


Religion, ethnicity and tribe are taking Nigeria backward.

The British caused the foundational problems we're facing today.

Firstly, sexual attraction is more than looks. Could be how she carries herself,her mind, aura etc

Secondly, any romantic relationship without sexual attraction is like trying to live without oxygen. It's DOA

Is there any PRODUCT one can sell in Nigeria to make a profit of at least #3k DAILY?
Be realistic!
Capital: #100-150k

JASONjnr:
Abia state government that's controlling power in his state, is he not a governor?

You as an individual have the power to invest in the power sector and generate electricity..... It has gone beyond the government to provide power....

Stop defending visionless governors who do not know what they truly want....

Makinde is just wasting Oyo state tax payers money on his dead on arrival presidential ambition, instead of providing good governernce

In the North, just say you a Bandit, people will salute

Eligibility Criteria

Greetings to the organizer(s) and fellow Nairalanders. I am a professional shoemaker and the founder of Kunaddo Leather Mastery, a footwear brand based in Ibadan. As a long-standing member of this platform, I have always appreciated the community spirit here, and I am excited to submit my application for this life-changing opportunity.
Below are the details of how this laptop will directly impact my craft and business growth:
What I plan to use the laptop for:
E-commerce & Operations: To manage, digitalize, and scale my footwear brand, Kunaddo Leather Mastery. This includes setting up an online storefront, tracking inventory, and organizing a professional visual portfolio.
Digital Marketing: To design and run data-driven ad campaigns and manage cross-platform social media selling to transition from local sales to a nationwide customer base.
Business Education: To take structured online certifications, study advanced business management modules, and process learning materials that require a desktop setup.
How it will help me personally, academically, professionally, or in business:
Business Growth: My footwear business has reached a point where a mobile phone is no longer enough to handle the workload. This laptop will serve as my main command center, allowing me to streamline operations, manage nationwide deliveries efficiently, and present my handmade work professionally.
Professional Development: I am deeply committed to upgrading my skills and business education. A reliable laptop is the missing link I need to follow complex tutorials, manage spreadsheets, and build a structured digital brand.
Personal Commitment: I have been actively saving up to buy a laptop because I know how crucial it is for my growth, but I haven't been able to reach a significant amount yet. This opportunity comes at the perfect time to bridge that gap and accelerate my livelihood.

The Embarrassment of a Whole World Power by a mere Middle Eastern Nation!

Anyone who has been living isolated from news since last year, and comes back to civilisation to hear this would never believe it.

Two strong war-mongering nations getting properly resisted by a single lesser equipped nation.

Trump should unleash hell on those crazy islamists already— he is talking too much!

Mattswaggz:
Iran are still trying to prove a point and also demonstrating fake strength despite being in a desperate and terrible situation......Trump has all the time in the world to give them to come to terms with reality while their pains continue to increase daily or he can still resume the war using more brutal methods this time around.

I'm beginning to hate this man. He's been talking too much of recent to matters that doesn't concern him.

Thousands of Ukrainian men have been buried and many will suffer similar fate. Yet Strait of hormuz is your priority.

I think its time Ukrainians be asking Zelensky what is your plan to end Russian siege
