It is not about doing all those things, it is about the fact that you have mismanaged our economy

N200,000 gave me $1000 during Jonathan's era but to get a $1000 in your era, a Nigerian have to get N1,500,000. That is gross mismanagement of an economy. You are making Nigerians to labour in vain!

When the Akara, Corn & Kulikuli statement started trending, I had to search for the video myself and watched to understand how it came about....

Dear Nigerians, most of you don't understand what she said - you're just being carried away by sentiments...

She was talking about how they're helping businesses with loans (that means you pay back later) and she referenced some other businesses that require less support (like akara, corn, etc) that they don't have to pay back (grant), so as to encourage those in that category.....

So why the uproar about it??

She's absolutely right in everything she said. Based on my experience with NGOs, we assist people with as little as helping them to get foodstuff to start cooking business. Some people just need cartons of indomie & eggs to establish it....
If you're very comfortable in life, you will never understand what she meant...

Some people just need the basic stuffs so that they can carry on...
Like people doing shoe maker aboki job, what does it take to equip that box they carry about?

Let's be guided pls. Businesses are of different categories and she didn't limit what she said to the grant of about 50k. There's loan for those willing to pay back...

she should have no business with such ideas. During Jonathan govt we saw YouWIN. Which one is Akara and Corn roasting? Are we going forward or backwards?

Abeg stop giving life to a non-issue. Your assumption that those criticizing the First Lady’s speech didn’t understand what she said is laughable. They perfectly understand but they must find a way to make it look bad just because of politics.
Don’t be surprised that even if the First Lady does whatever those wailers recommend as the noble thing to do to empower people, they will still go against their own recommendations. It’s never about the gesture, they simply don’t like who is doing it, or you didn’t see the thread where it was shown their Obi donated 10k to empower some people, compare their reaction in both instances to know it’s never about the gesture but about the individual.

So in your mind kulikuli business is an empowerment this government should make speech about?

Can kulikuli business feed a family? Or akara nowadays with a support?

I shall never be well with you for this epistle

The same tinubu shared brand new Toyota vehicles for her women leaders and she is bragging to you that she is sharing to your mother money for akara and kulikuli

Una for defend and explain like this if to say na Peter Obi talk say make Nigerians start to dey do roasted corn and akara business??
Una for don use mouth finish the man
Pathetic!

Even if Peter Obi comments and says "1+1 = 2" una go find how to criticize, argue and mock him. It's crazy!

apc women are not vulnerable women

Before politics they are big n that's y the ruling party can make them leaders

Many party leaders are rich before they ventured into politics cos u n I know politics in Nigeria is expensive, how do u give 50k to someone who has 4 big warehouses in Lagos?

What many of u don't understand is that many things are meant for specific purpose

The people Remi Tinubu are talking about are d vulnerable people whose petty trade is less than 50k

She's not talking about people who see 50k as nothing

Sheuns:
The ones that also line up for rice and oil at Bourdillon also have 4 big warehouses each in Lagos?

You just keep saying all sort to defend rubbish. Yet, you keep sounding stupid the more you defend.

were they d ones made party leaders?

Omo see how this one dey reason, is it that u are deliberately mischievous or u just think this way.

So do u expect someone like mama hadiza of PDP, Aisha yesufu n co to be collecting 50k for empowerment from government?

U ain't using your brain, do u expect a medical doctor or an engineer or a barrister to collect 50k for empowerment?

Your brain should tell u she's referring to people in the picture below

While other countries are trying as much as possible to improve the lives of their citizens through improved means you are still here defending akara and kuli kuli is it with the way the government is running the economy you expect the business to prosper no enabling environment, inflation and insecurity sometimes I don't blame this politicians because they have already weaponized poverty and every of their decisions is seen as normal. My agitation there should be an enabling environment for SMES

The trolls don't get it.

Every sensible person can understand what was said. You'll keep losing as long as you keep trying to push a sensless lie.

It can never work.

The best thing for you is to abandon the lie.

shortgun:
Tinubu and his family are clearly not in touch with reality.
The other day it was onanuga who said he doesn't see the hunger Nigerians are complaining about.

They are just recycling poverty and calling it empowerment.

Tinubu and his family doesn't even understand the problems of Nigerians, so how will they fix what they don't understand or even see?

The only way to have a better Nigeria is to have a president who understands the problems of Nigeria and see our hunger, insecurity and suffering

If you are to Nigeria president today, will you employ everyone into civil service or multinational corporations?

Please explain how you will tackle Nigeria's unemployment?

Very easy to criticize and talk is cheap.
So many voodoo economists.

Oga, the help Nigerians want is a better run economy not handouts.

Your principal did not present himself for office on the basis of handouts and Nigerians know that once they start down this line of tokenism the government will feel it has fulfilled it's obligations. That is the concern.

So they see such offerings more as bribes rather than concerted governance. A government that just throws money at every problem rather than understanding and application.

By the way they better get busy. At a modest rate of inflation of 15 percent that N50,000 loses approximately 86 kobo per hour in real value and since she announced the grant three days ago it is has effectively reduced to round about N49,940.

That is the real problem, the real reason why this dog of an economy continues to chase it's tail. Inflation remains too lava hot to boil water to make eba. It just turns to steam and vaporizes if you under what I mean.

So let us quit the debate and either quickly start frying beans cakes or just......give us a better economy, that's all.

You guyz can come up with all manners spin & coloration BuT one thing you can change is that she spoke in English, our official languge in Nigeria

why you think you need to translate english to english is what baffles me, i am also aware context is an interpretation factor she said verbally

we are trying to give hope, and to start akara business doesn't take a lot of money, to " start" roasting corn or eeh somebody even said about graduate, that they are saying kuli kuli, doesnt take much money, we didnt give them a loan, we gve it to them as a grant, so we encouraged Nigerians as best as we can, what i have i have given

please weytin be for this english she speak that some peoplle feel they are the ones that can interprete it correctly
charlescng. even claim she is not talking to newbies that she refering to existing business owners ... despite hearing are use the word " START" .one of the problems we have in this countries are political jobber n sycophants who try to perfect govt goof as an avenue to cloutchase earn a pat on the back or get an office like reno

We are at a time the poverty rate in Nigeriais said to be 63% .. shouldnt govt be talking of lifting people out of poverty line even if na 1ft up
instead you are proposing business that those doing itself fall into the poverty class .. i know akara sellers in my area i see the cloth they wear, how there children look, even the house they rent we see there living condition why wil Govt coach people on how to swim and float inside poverty

what the 1st lady is trying to address is high rate of Unemployment, so 1st lady & her husband feel instead of nagging about unemployment after graduation. .. sell akara, sell kulikuli, hawk pure water & minerals this are business with shinkini capital,

you know what i think, any business you are doing that can not cover basics of your life need aint worth the time. can someone selling akara afford medical operation, what if the firewood smoke affect her eye, can proceed from akara pay the bill

you dey hawk soft drink for express, if motor jam you can the sales cater for your medical bill anywhere.
i am selling kuli kuli then i discover i am hypertensive . can kuli kuli profit cater for such person medication nd appointment

my late grand mother had eye problem cos of exccessive cooking with fire wood she lost her eye before she die in 1992 ... Do people like you consider thev hazard of frying akara, hot oil pour on your leg ..can akara profit cover the medical bill today

They did not misunderstand. They understood fully and then they painstakingly skewed the narrative to make it look like she was been insensitive. The woman said nothing wrong.

@IkoroduReporter.
You who has better understanding than us, please explain to us what the woman meant.

Don't mind them, if they want, let them spend little money they have on nonsense things, thinking government we empower all their citizens. Let them point one country in the world who's government empower all their citizens

HAVE YOU INDUSTRIALIZED YOUR OWN SELF? THAT EXPERTISE YOU WANT TO USE TO DEVELOP NIGERIA, HAVE YOU TRIED IT IN YOUR OWN LIFE AND DID WORK FOR YOU?




How will you enterprise creation for productivity?

How will go about industrialization?

Easier to say than thou.I guess you will manufacture your own dollar or you will force international community to industrialized your country for you by using your own local unwanted currency.
Maybe, machinery that are not available in your own country, you will force it out to develop the country?

If the First Lady want to help vulnerable people as you stated...
She will create kits/equipment's for a particular business trade..
support it with adequate cash funding to be sustainable....
or u monetize everything they need to set up...

Can N50k start an Akara business in Lagos, Porthacourt and Abuja.?

Urban logistics will wipe out any margin in that business.
The primary inflation drivers make a ₦50,000 baseline unrealistic.

U guys are very wicked,

The First Lady can afford to spend million of Naira for APC Women Leaders but
cant afford to give a realistic baseline to set up an Akara business.

Thats my point.

how will u empower a poor widow

Just answer that question n I will believe Remi Tinubu is wrong, the fact u see 50k as small money doesn't mean some vulnerable people can't do something with 50k

These people below, do u think their goods worth 50k

You see your problem here. The pictures you posted are of people that are very poor. Remi just suggested you start a business that keeps you poor.
