The problem with some of you is that you're simply too lazy to conduct your own research and find out the truth before reacting to issues.
I can confidently bet that over 98% of the people criticizing Senator Remi Tinubu have not even watched the video in question. The remaining 2% who may have seen it have likely been influenced by the bandwagon effect.
I have watched the video, and its content is entirely different from what some people are portraying here and on other social media platforms.
The First Lady was simply explaining that her foundation has been helping people overcome poverty and will continue to provide support to the less privileged, especially women, to help break the cycle of poverty. She further stated that the money given to the women at the event was meant to help them start businesses, not to be spent on unnecessary or frivolous things. She merely gave examples of small businesses they could venture into, such as making kulikuli or selling akara, as ways to earn a decent income.
At no point did she say that Nigerian youths should become kulikuli makers or akara sellers.
It is important to understand that not everyone who starts a thread or comments on a topic has a proper understanding of it. Some deliberately misrepresent the facts to push a narrative, while others do so because of limited knowledge or poor comprehension. Before reacting or joining the outrage, it is always better to verify the facts for yourself.

If you must attempt to be a spin doctor and try to put a positive spin on anything it can't be this video😄
There's is a reason it got a whole lot of negative feedback
It's one thing to do charity in bourdillion with your money and be happy to see a large number of people poor in your state but it's another level of lunacy to expect to do the same on a national level and not expect the absolute rejection of such silliness
Smh

Madam Remi really fall hand, in stead of her to advise the youths on more profitable business like " hookups" for our sisters and "Yahoo plus" for our guys she dey talk of Akara and khulikhuli.

Winneepye:
This is a revelation of the society we have created for ourselves. Get rich quick society.I know some girls that actually trained themselves and paid their school fees through the akara business kulikuli is a popular snacks in Nigeria some Nigerians package them for supermarkets some even supply African stores in uk.
Not everyone will become a youtuber .

The woman was actually making reference to small scale business, this is a country where it is not easy to get a job so nothing is wrong with starting a small scale business to survive. In abroad they are talking about many Nigerians are here selling akara, ground nuts, meat pies etc to survive Houston is a very good example. Anyways trust Nigerians their hatred for Tinubu will make them see the woman's comment the other way. If Peter Obi's wife said this they will be praising her for a good advice, bunch of hypokrits.

Are you selling "akara"?

nwirinedu:
So Nigerians are lazy? People were not frying akara before these crooks came into power?

Read your comments again, you must be an rccg drone.

Don't deceive yourself into thinking that frying akara is a sign of failure or intellectual laziness. I don't want to see you become one of the intellectually lazy youths President Buhari spoke about. Go and read the story of how McDonald's started in the United States. Every legitimate business has the potential to grow into something great when it is pursued with vision, discipline, and excellence. Honest entrepreneurship deserves respect.

Someone gave you money and even advised you on how to invest it and grow it. Yet here you are, confidently talking rubbish online, despite not having ₦100,000 to your family's name. Instead of arguing with people on the internet, you should focus on applying the advice you were given and building something meaningful. I don't want to see you as one of the intellectually lazy youths President Buhari once described. There is absolutely nothing lazy about frying and selling akara. Instead of looking down on honest work, go and read the story of how McDonald's started in the United States. Many successful global businesses began with humble ideas. Hard work, consistency, and passion—not the type of job you do—are what create success.

The question is: Did you actually watch the video? I'm not convinced you did. It seems the desire for cheap likes and shares prevented you from taking the time to think critically. No insult is intended.

Alphanancy:
Even the JOE is a mad man. So after spending over 5 years to acquire higher education the best the president's wife could come up with is akara and kulikuli business.

Can you imagine. That is why they say the lack has been institutionalized

First of all frying burgers costs for more money and the profit margin is very high. Have you ever heard of anyone frying hamburgers in his house in America ? The level of skill to make a hamburger is by far higher than that of frying Akara. To go to university and end up frying Akara just shows how flawed the university system is. If a secondary school girl can fry Akara does that not mean a university graduate should take Akara to the next level ?

I think you miss the point. A first lady asking the youth to try Akara is like the Chinese First lady asking Chinese citizens to cook rice. That would be an insult since China is a rice cooker and eating country, that means the leader is asking for people to do nothing new. No innovation. I think the problem is the government has not put the policies in place to make it easier for the youth to survive. In China they ban so many foreign businesses from operating in China this makes sure the Chinese have jobs and can be productive. Let us assume the government banned foreign shoes. Then Graduates will have jobs in designing shoes, Advertising shoes, Marketing shoes, then you will have a large number of artisans making shoes.

Who did she give the advice to? Petty traders that she gave #50,000 grant. She simply advised them to use it and start small. Did she advise you to the meeting?

Fuckyoumod:
So you are saying that graduates, some master degree holders should go and sell kuli-kuli and fry akara on the street. Then what will those without education do?

E no go eva beta 4u and Joe!

Your Analogy is very sound. I personally think people don't wish the masses well. You cannot tell a Graduate to fry Akara, why did that graduate go to school . What you can tell that Graduate is to partner with Akara sellers to improve Akara quality and distribution. It is not because Akara is a lowly business but because anyone who goes to University is a white collar worker meaning their job is to think, plan and pay people to execute. I make my money from linking people to businesses and I get a cut. If you want a painter to paint your house I will arrange it for you and get N5K commission. I buy things from supermarkets for people and make money of every product I buy and I do not own a shop

why shamest

Racoon:
Efulefu. Just to appear political correct, he has glorified his foolishness. Joe Igbokwe brain's have been used for cleaning gutters.

Hence he lacks empathy on the damage Tinubu's wife inhuman statement have upon the lives of the suffering citizens of this nation.

What inhuman?
A Nigerian couple relocated to UK, Aberdeen Scotland specifically. They discovered that their meat pie wasn't as spicy as Nigerian's. The wife started preparing Nigerian meat pie on small scale as side hussle and Nigerians around were buying. Later demand increased. She resigned her job even with her Masters degree and operated full time because she was making more money than being an employee. As demand increased the husband resigned and joined her. The husband too has a Masters degree.

Today producing and selling Nigerian meat pie is giving them more income than regular 9 to 5 job. The same couple wouldn't do this no matter how much it fetches them if they were in Nigeria.

When Dangote advertised for truck drivers position demanding a first degree Nigerians abused him and the country. The same Nigerians will spend millions for a masters degree abroad and will celebrate being truck drivers.

Joe boy... Attention seeker.... Upon all the support, nothing for you.

Having a degree should not prevent you from running a small business and that business may need you to invest a lot of your time in manual labour at the start.

Eriokanmi:
I'm not surprised the way most of you are thinking. Someone your age is already a job provider in a decent country. Is frying akara a sort of youth empowerment or what? Who doesn't fry akara in his house? This week they posted the list of cities with the highest number of billionaires in the world and Nigeria was missing out. China that followed usa closely couldn't lace our shoes decades ago. Nigeria was seen as the next world power from africa after the ancient Egypt. The western world were afraid of us.

Today, China has left us far behind. All the money they're stealing can be used to empower people like you, the way China and Japan do to their citizens. Those Chinese you see on the streets of our major cities were empowered by their government to explore foreign markets. During Jonathan era, we had sure-p and you-win programmes which had benefited a lot of startups. There were funds for agriculture. Nigeria didn't go hungry. I remember the great jobs done by akinwumi, the AfDB man who was minister of agriculture under Jonathan. That was what earned him that office at afdb

The apc came and disrupted a progressive economy with propaganda. We're now the 5th largest economy in africa, falling from 1st position. I blame only those who allowed someone like Remi and her husband to near that place. We knew them better and the reason we didn't vote her husband in lagos in 2023.

This generation is the most unfortunate one and sadly the one supporting this callous regime. Had they lived from 2015 backwards, they'd realise the degree of harm the apc had done them and be crying. Those who lived in that era were actually those who enjoyed Nigeria.

Sure P and all those free money schemes are doomed to fail and I advise that the FG should not venture into those againz rather the FG needs to work on the interests rates and also facilitate small startup loans that the recipient feels an obligation to run a successful business

yea. u should be ashamed of yourself. Mr gutter cleaner

This Man is always on the wrong side because of what to gain from Tinubu corrupt family, I'm ashamed of Igbokwe.

Unfortunately you are the one on the wrong side but because you are already becloud by sentiment and lack of fair judgment you now dancing naked in the public space without being aware, its quite shameful..your generation needs a whole lot of re-orientation.

Pandora criminal called Obi is also wrong because he gave N7K to market women.
Remi Tinubu gave N50K to women to help them do small scale busines
