Fekumzi123:
It will shock you that with the help of your education, venturing into such business can make you a millionaire. I know people that even without education, the business is feeding their family of six

Winneepye:
First lady should have advised the ladies to go into prostitution and the men carry drug instead of the akara business .These two have better money.

Daguccizgreat:

Nigerian President Bola Tinubu’s first supplementary budget includes a fleet of SUVs for himself and his wife, a presidential yacht and the renovation of his villa amid a cost-of-living crisis for some of the poorest people in the world.

The proposal — which seeks additional funding beyond the annual budget approved by Tinubu’s predecessor — comes as the government asks Nigerians to persevere through pain caused in part by a raft of economic reforms ushered in by the new president. Africa’s most populous country faces rampant unemployment, soaring food prices and a plummeting currency.

Federal lawmakers approved the president’s request for extra spending on Thursday, but eliminated the provision of 5 billion naira ($6.01 million) to buy a presidential yacht. Instead, they doubled the allocation to a student loan fund to 10 billion naira, according Abubakar Bichi, chairman of an appropriations committee in the House of Representatives.

The lawmakers approved 1.5 billion-naira proposed to purchase SUVs for the office of First Lady Oluremi Tinubu — an amount larger than that allocated to many individual federal colleges. The supplementary budget also proposes almost 6 billion naira to purchase SUVs for the presidency — more than the amount initially allocated to fund a student loan program for poor families.

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.

Buccalcavity2:
People are given grants 100k,200k...whatever. so you expect them to be advised to open a refinery or a beer factory? Or is it that AKara enterprise is so base that being employed is better? I'm honestly checking comments amongst my close circles on this subject to identify how sound people are.
Thumbs up Joe.

discusant:
If 50% of Nigeria's poor go into petty trade as advised by Mrs Tinubu, who will buy from another? Poverty still remains.
Joe Igbokwe does not think deeper, like his Madam Tinubu.

Daguccizgreat:
Your rant doesn't change the fact that you're the most phoolish person existing in Nigeria. Continue defending a family that has impoverished you ediot

Kushites:
NIGERIAN YOUTHS ARE THOUGHTLESS, EMOTIVE SIMPLETONS.

THEY CAN'T THINK ON YOUR LEVEL.

MOST OF THE PEOPLE SCREAMING HERE ARE NOT EVEN GRADUATES.

THEY SEEM TO BE DEMANDING BANKING JOBS OR EVEN JOBS AS DOCTORS.

chidiokay:
yes, People can give any grant ..even 10k becos its not there responsibility, But 1st lady is part of govt the office of the 1st lady is subtly funded to whom
much is given mych is expected

i have seen political jobbers try to spin the narattive, One e from US came on a program claimed her mother used akara money to train him in university to study medicine blah blah, can akara money train a child in university today



my question is very simple We all have communities rihht, defimite you wil know one woman by road side selling akara ... please evaluate their living Do you envy them, Do you wish ooh i wish i my sister, my mother can be laying fire wood sweating to fry akara like this.
i use to have a customer then, she uses firewood, what that think did to her eyes ehn and face

Kukuli, how much kukuli can a person sell a day to meet the cost of standard meal two times a day sef.

Now the 1st lady said 50k ,... can 50k setup an akarabusiness today with the woman stil having to beg for extra funds

6kg cylinder is over 20k, if she fill am 6× #2 , 32k ti lor

thebig frying pot abi na fry pan she wan use ... she cant get it lets than 10k .. 42k gone

shey na 8k wey remain she go take buy beans, groundnut oil, pepper, table, tray to serve the akara and she needs table n she needs space nothing is freee

So when the 1st lady gimme 50k to start akara business and the money no reach startup ...can we really considered she as empowered me

empowernent is somethingyou give someone nd they can stand on their own But the moment you give someone something regardless they will stil need urgent 5k need help then you are not being sincere with them
i don't know anyone selling kuli kuli that liived a average life sef.. For a 1st lady that wish her friends drivebig cars that bety insensitivity

Joe is a known apc sycophant, he is so irrelevant even among his people ... give him yansh up sef Nigerians have rejected the 1st lady

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.

You nor get sense abeg mechionu. Na laziness dey kee you.

You woke up 6am already lost and confused.

You woke up 6am already frustrated and h8te filled.

You woke up 6am already angry and dejected.

Who do you like this

Kushites:
He can advise his son to fry akara and roast corn with a suitably branded operation that could make him several thousands a day.

Your simpleton heads can't see ''frying akara'' beyond an old woman in rags sitting on a stool by the roadside 'frying akara'.

goslowgoslow:
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.

Kingrshd3:
Are u and Ur family immortal??

Are u people not going to die someday??

Or u want to tell me the money is too small or what?

The sense of entitlement some people have should be studied as a university course.
Someone who owes them absolutely nothing gave selected market women grants ranging from ₦50,000 to ₦100,000. These are women who would ordinarily borrow the same amount from institutions like LAPO or Grooming as business loans and spend one to three months repaying them with interest.
This time, they received the money free of charge and were simply advised on how to invest it wisely so they could grow their businesses.
Yet some people, who would rather spend their time on Nairaland or Instagram begging for ₦2,000, are claiming the donor deserves to be roasted for giving away her own money and offering practical advice. That level of entitlement is truly astonishing.
