May this be the portion of your family members and generations to come IJN
You guys are so emotional, and many of you are just talking without reading the lady's speech.
She was not empowering graduates but our vulnerable women who would do Thanksgiving for 50.

It's already my portion.

My first son is a chartered accountant and holds an M.Sc. in finance management from Strathclyde.

He makes palm oil, groundnut, and kulikuli with about 20 workers on Payroll
Re: Akara Business: And So What? by MadMonk: 3:28pm On Jun 28
The energy and time spent writing this long thing in defence of 50K proposal to start Akara business is more than enough to write a meaningful public letter to the Prseident to stop listening to lies and liars and do something urgent to arrest the security and economic slide prevalent all over the country today! This totally shameful!!

And it is 50k he started with....

Your first paragraph was making sense till you tried to justify it with the last one...

Like I say, we celebrate mediocrity too much.

They've started activating their minions.
Damage control at it's stupidest .
Look at this slowpoke attempting to justify a gaffe made by insensitive politicians stealing our collective patrimony.
We deserve the leaders we get
slowpoke?
If I am a slowpoke at my age and success in life,
then it is good to be a slowpoke.

Didn't they teach politeness in your school?

See your brain 🧠

​You’re comparing ventures that have been running for years with something you’re just trying to launch today. You’re talking about 50k like it’s still 2015 when that amount could set you up properly. Do you even know how much a paint of beans costs now? It’s 5k! By the time you buy a big pot, gas, and all the other necessary ingredients, you’re looking at 30k minimum—and that’s if you’re lucky. Even a POS business is nearly impossible to start with 50k unless you already have a shop space.

​I guess our First Lady will also advise Seyi or his own kids to go and start an akara business instead of spending their family wealth, right? It’s only someone who is way too familiar with poverty that reasons like this. Meanwhile, the children of House of Reps members are securing jobs in top-tier companies, but here you are, telling others to go and fry akara.

What a shame. I'll take this as a rage bait 🚶‍♂️
I doubt you will make it in life because it seems you aren't a passionate person to want to thrive and become somebody. Those you make references to started from somewhere. Most of them, I wasnt easy for them but they never gave up and keep pushing and working towards there goals and pursuing there dream. Someone like you will consistently envy successful people without you knowing there past and sleepless night they skipped to be whom they have become. Keep hating, your destiny is in your hands and no matter how much you lament or wail, insult on social media, if you don't work on yourself and become somebody, this your lamenting will never really end

Obi said that he helped people start businesses with 10k but these Obi clowns didn't see anything wrong with that.
It's pathetic the level of shallowness among these cult leader followers.
So because Obi did it in 2008
Tinubu and his wife should do the same in 2026🤣🤣
Obi is now the standard for everything Tinubu is doing

Some people don't understand that the akara business is the wish of some people.

Not everyone can be a graduate

Some people don't even know that akara business is part of small scale business. MSME


People train their children and built houses with it.

As I speak to you, many people still do it as a source of income.
Kindly do a breakdown of how much is needed to start akara business. Imagine the person has no shop and has no cooking utensils and condiments needed. Just do a breakdown, let's see how much it comes to.

Shove this nonsense in your ass!
Politicians we finance with our natural resources and tax are their children frying akara?
Their lifestyle is financed by the people and Remi has the Guts to mock the people that feeds her family?
You are all the same. Rude.
Nobody stops you from being a politician so that your children will not fry akara.
Re: Akara Business: And So What? by NotOfThisWorld(f):
That woman's comments are really pathetic and coming from the wife of the so-called President at that. Would she tell her own kids to go start an akara business? She's the same person who gave the family of that beheaded man a bag of rice and N500,000 and the man's wife refused to collect them, as she should. Rescue the man, no; collect his body for them, no; na to give them a bag of rice and yeye money after his violent death, as if that'll console them or are a substitute for his life. She's also the same person who told Nigerians to be praying for Tinubu. This government has nothing to offer Nigerians. Nigerians should smarten up and stop voting for useless presidents who only care about themselves and their families.

Not trying to be insensitive, but I know a woman that trained 5 children and even sponsored 2 abroad for further education.

Don't look down on it, that's my point. Take the message and leave the messenger

If Obi had made this suggestion, they would embrace it as a bible quote.

See, Prophet Jeremiah, when your daughter finishes school, I’ll happily drop 50k to help her start out. I really want to see that pride on your face when she realizes she spent 16 years of her life in school while her mates from political families were busy making connections and jetting out of the country. I can’t wait to see how happy you’ll be when reality finally hits home.

The only reason why I brought up your Agulu cult leader is to point out your hypocrisy and irrational thinking.
Obi is not a standard for anything but failure.
In present day Nigeria, anyone with common sense knows that it's better to give anyone 50k to start a small business than to be giving them 2k on daily basis.
Just go and collect your daily 3k from your Obidient camp.

So how do you know all this? Your mama dey sell akara or what?

One woman they interviewed yesterday said the lowest she makes in a month from akara is 150k profit. Some days it might be more.

So let’s say she makes an average of N200k monthly, are you saying she is below poverty level?
NOT ONLY THAT O!

I'm very sure her Akara joint is just a small stool and frying pot with no branding.

Imagine if you as a young man enter the same biz and brand up your joint with a bright red or yellow canopy, with a flashy name like "Akara Junction" boldly emblazoned and visible to all passers-by, yellow uniform to serve, with yellow cap on, and music in the background.

That 150k a month will become 500,000k a month, MINIMUM. Sharp Sharp.

These Nigerian youths don't know business.

In this country, you can get rich selling ANYTHING, so long as you package yourself.

Even as graduates, there is nothing wrong with frying Akara.

It is a limitation of one's vision that makes people think it can only be a small venture.

Pizza is a local Italian delicacy.

There are many millionaires from Cornwall pasties (meat pies).

They make £300 million annually from themselves alone. One company makes £36 million.

You are talking nonsense. I work hard for myself and my children so they can get a better life. I don't lazy around and depend on government. I use my God given brain to be a pace setter and trailblazer. Government in there own way have done the little they can to create an enabling environment for me to use my brain to do things that will make my life better. I don't come on social media every market day crying, blaming, cursing government when I can use my brain and the resources I have to involve myself in valuable and productive things. If you like, keep crying and wailing on social media. Tinubu will go and another person you like would be there YET your life will still not be better if you don't change your mindset. Hard words but ignore at your own risk.
Finally, every of your statement shows you are already defeated and you don't see yourself getting ahead in life. You look at those politicians and you already Limited yourself, feel defeated and you concluded you can never get ahead of them in life. Worst thing is that you already assume same for your unborn children. Sad mentality. I pray you heal and change your mindset

Good, you have asked a question, unlike the rough-edged ones.

Now you use what you have to get what you need.

The woman interviewed today, a Delta Igbo, actually said she could start with 20k

Obviously you have cooking utensils at home. You do not need to start big.

You do not need gas for now, but if you have it, its btter.

Beans is the most expensive and the seller around your house can give it to you on credit
Start with one measure.

If you are so poor without utensils, you can buy one big frying pot and spoon from the 50k.

Nigerians are considerate and compassionate; you can get a space without paying at least for now.

I know people in the food business who pay suppliers in the evening without expending money in the morning.

When you move, you will be surprised how much Nigerians can go to help, but unfortunately many abuse the gesture.

I will rather push drug and forfeit 450k US dollars and become the president of Nigeria than to sell akara and hope my children become rich and remove me from poverty.

Go and implement your idea na. Abi u no wan make more money? In this age of AI and all manner of technological advancement na akara and kulikuli dey trend for Nigeria. No business is demeaning or too lowly, but progressive nations lay emphasis on business that will uplift their nations not on survival jobs. Same reasons why advanced nations live the menial and survival jobs in their nations to immigrants from poor countries.
