Dishonesty is what sense? What she said was a lie?
Laziness and lack of imagination are the problems of today's young generation.

Why is your wife not frying Akara?

when it is time to share juicy position, recruit for NNPC, DPR, CBN etc. they share it among themselves, but when police work comes out they start calling on the public to apply

Their weaponization of poverty is the problem here, if the economy were good, only those who loves to trade akara will do such jobs

our parents won't do it because that's the only option they have to survive

benardtotti:
You are a perfect example of olodo uprising, you know nothing and the amusing part is you revel in your ignorance

The reason why people are angry is not because Madam gave 50K for akara business, it is because we live in a society where there are far too many people in the informal sector because our economy is resource dependent, and because the government is not taking steps to end it.

BATified2023:
if everyone focus on big businesses

Who will help the vulnerable people?

U people are so lost that u want to deny the vulnerable

I snapped this woman just now, oya tell me is all her stock up to 50k n I can bet she's taking it on credit to pay in d evening

Note that I did not say we should focus on big business...we should focus on industrialization, which means (clicle storm coming up)...focusing on providing an enabling environement for small and medium scale manufacutrues.

All this akara things should be left for NGO's and so forth. Not for government or people associated with it.

Pray tell, is Renewed Hope Initiative not an NGO??

your generation is unredeemable no wonder the world is getting darker people like u allow hatred blinded u.pls continue lamenting

Sponsored by the government. My apologies, but I don't like those kind of NGO's done by first ladies. They always end when madam leaves office. Unless they are ready to sustain it after leaving office.

I would have even said that such funding for akara be done by some people's bank/MFB set up by the government, but the history of similar banks always does not end well.

So what if NGO didn't see all of them, what will be the fate of others?

🤣 Shifting goalpost to "sponsored by the government".

You can see the donors on this thread (I don't know why people are running away from the thread).

I know all that, the problem is, these NGO's always tend to die a natural death when the government leaves office.

benardtotti:
This is why I said you are an olodo , no country in the world tries to end its informal sector , even china that your obi loves to pontificate about has 60% of its gdp tied to the informal small and medium business.

Haba ! The way you guys try to build castles in the air about industrialiation or diversifyg the economy is very amusing.

You guys lack pragmatism.

Man, I don't think in my responses to you I engaged in abuse.

Since you have decided to do so and to keep on being abusive, because you apparently allow your temper to control you, not the other way round, have a good and blessed day.

nairalanda1:

Nope they don't.

You might not hear about them as much, because the founder is not in the public eye, but they continue.

For example, when was this NGO founded?

If you must know my wife is making millions of Naira today, she sold pure water as a child. There's dignity in labor. What the first lady was trying to convey is not taught in schools.

U are the one who is not being reasonable. Nigerian politicians are balling while over 85 percent of the population are very poor. The remaining 15 percent, 10 out of the 15 percent only survives by working and paying just bills, canyt live quality life, the remaing 5 percent is occupied mainly by politicians and politician affiliated and u are happy. She comes out to encourage people to remain poor, remain in struggle but her family live on the tax and resources of Nigerians. And u say that is cool. My f$cking tax is among what is used to fund these humans, so go and sleep.

Question for her and the supporters of akara and kuli-kuli business.
If the business is so good, why send your children to school?
The woman should have introduced her children to continued with the business and make more money.
Maybe her level of moi-moi business requires education.

Eriokanmi:
The way some people reason eeeh! You're comparing the Nigeria of the 80s,90, until 2014 with Nigeria of nowadays right? Make una dey continue dey defend the rubbish remi had said.

Mid 90s when schooling in Ilorin, my 100L fees for a whole session were 1,663 Naira. The receipt is still with me at home till date. In same period, a kuli kuli or akara seller could conveniently raise her children, even build a house. I remember iyadunni alakara osu back in the days. When going to see grandma in ekiti, our vehicle would stop there and we'd buy akara. She built upstairs with the proceeds. In same period, my school principal was riding 505 evolution Peugeot car while his vice was driving 504GL. They bought it brand new.
In same period, pry school headmasters owned volkswagen beetle cars which they bought with their salary, cash. Is it same situation today? How much is a public university fee today and how many akara can you sell to garner that?

Na God, wey wan deal with remi and her husband make her spew that trash. Nowadays, not even a university professor could afford a used car, talk more of owning a brand new car. His entire life savings wont get him one except he received grants from outside for his research work or he's so lucky to garner some money during his sabbaticals overseas. In my undergraduate days, i knew profs who drove prado jeeps. Remi's comment clearly indicates how far and out of touch she and her husband are, from the masses. So sad. Her unfortunate statement would have made sense, had we been living in the 80s/90s. This is 2026 for crying out loud. This generation that met nothing but crumbs of the Nigeria's glorious past must not take her comment lightly, except they want to continue living with their parents after graduation due to government's failures. When China is empowering their youths and startups with huge sums of money with scholarship annually, someone is talking about akara empowerment in 2026? Hahahahahaha!!!

No wonder Nigeria is in such a disarray today. Even those selling akara today on the major parks in lagos, how much do they make daily? A lot of women quit that business for pure water cos of rising cost. Those commuters in lagos could bear a witness to this. Before, akara sellers would mob at you via the window but now, its pure water,soft and energy drinks sellers you'd see everywhere. What's the cost of cooking gas today per kg? What of ororo, beans...in fact nobody dey chop beans back in the days. They used to call those eating it prisoners because that's the majort meal for them. Nobody goes to farm nowadays for fear of bokoharam and Niger republic that used to supply us beans to compliment local production had shut their borders against us. The available few is so expensive. What of the frypan, nylon or leaves? It's so unfortunate where we've found ourselves today as a nation. Under Tinubu's watch, naira became tissue papers. The cfa that I used to exchange with naira and my pocket would look like someone who kept heavy stones inside it had left naira far behind now. We're now 5th largest economy in africa, from 1st but nobody is talking about that, only defending rubbish. Isokay.

Anyone defending remi's unfeeling post is worse than an enemy of Nigeria.

Same tinubu removed education subsidy

BATified2023:
don't stress yourself on those hypocrite that call themselves opposition.

They know the truth but because of petty politics they ain't ready to tell the truth, imagine someone praising obi for giving people 10k but now Remi Tinubu giving vulnerable people 50k is a crime.

The funniest part is that the same people who are always quick to call people lazy for not doing anything are the same people condemning this move.

They will pride themselves as the most hard working people on earth n that they can turn anything to gold, same people are here looking down on petty trading.

Same people who will hail a boy hawking gala n malt in traffic are the same people now talking down on them

Politics will take u where u no know

So she did all these with 50,000 Naira? Will you kindly ask her when she started moin-moin business? During Ojuyobo government or during Mr Joe government when there was blessings?

Some will sell moi-moi, some will do ICT, some will be midwives, some will get scholarships.

But those who are destined to sell moimoi should be given the help they need to make the best of it.

This is why our education system is dying and our youths are wasting away, going into fraud, kidnapping, arm robbery etc. Instead of them to create jobs, Free skills aquisition centres, make and do their possible best to restore our dead economy, the block head is busy making useless appointment and devalueing the Naira.

Truvelisback:
It's obvious that you are blind. Did I say she said everyone should sell akara? Or it seems you a have comprehending English Language. Who was she addressing to if not the youths? Must all vulnerable(as you claimed) make it through selling akara or corn? Can't they create jobs for people? Do you even know what 50k is like?

did she open her mouth to say she's talking to d youths?

Ahmeduana:
So she did all these with 50,000 Naira? Will you kindly ask her when she started moin-moin business? During Ojuyobo government or during Mr Joe government when there was blessings?

so u are saying 50k can't start anything for a poor person?..


So if a poor person should see someone to give her 50k she should just use it to buy food n eat right?

JESUS OF NAZARETH!

DID YOU CHECK THE THREAD I DIRECTED YOU TOO?

WHO TOLD YOU THAT IT'S ONLY AKARA? WHO TOLD YOU THERE IS NO SKILLS ACQUISITION? WHO TOLD YOU THAT THERE IS NO ICT TRAINING??


I CAN'T TAKE YOU SERIOUS WHEN I DIRECTED YOU TO THIS THING AND YOU PRETEND THAT YOU DON'T SEE THEM

It seems like you are just trolling.

Some tribe and politics. Thunder fire una and una useless APC

Abokiijebu:
Should all of us start selling moi moi? Is that what you are saying indirectly?

The richest man in the world is in tech.

Has that inspired you to start?

You have been calling commenters olodo here from the first page yet you haven't been banned yet I who didn't use any insultive words my comment was deleted and I was banned for a short while the mod should continue to be biased and how come you can't make a statement or reply without insults?

Reading comments here, I shake my head.

I don't know what to say.

It's not getting any better soon.

Now we have a new situation.

Like I said, saying that giving SMEs a ₦50,000 grant is a bad thing is plain st up id. This is a fact and there's no way to run away from it.

The people that started this narrative said

⚫️ ₦50,000 is too small.

⚫️ Frying akara is beneath them.

They said it and they said it clearly.

But now some people are trying to change the narrative. They say:

⚫️ There is nothing wrong with a ₦50,000 grant.

⚫️ There is nothing wrong with frying akara.

Then they bring in something that has absolutely nothing to do with the issue and they say that's the problem and people are just angry.

The picture below illustrates what's happening (they are desperately searching for something to stick, they must find something). The earlier narrative has failed and they are now.

Dogalmighty17:
See the extent they are going to just to justify the asinine statement of the first lady.
Let me ask Tinubu's data boys this questions

1. Aside the fact that the first lady has no known business, where did she earn 2 billion naira that she could give out in form of grants? The brand new buses and cars she bought for APC women leaders came from her purse right? What legitimate income source can she rightly point to as the source of that money?

2. Is it not a glaring admission of the piling economic failures of the APC that the wife of the president even has to be seen disbursing grants in the first place? And this outside the purview of established government agencies and ministries that already have grants included in their budget?

Anyhow it is looked it, it is a bad look that empowerment for the APC never goes beyond reinforcing poverty and hardship.

The day you Nigerians accept one cold hard fact we are dealing with extremely evil people is the day we will begin to treat them exactly what they are and should treated like leprosy
