Na that "waka waka" company handwork be this.

People say they are ritualists and organ harvesters.

Job adverts like this are found in almost every town in Nigeria. It is very clear that people who paste these on walls and fences have bad intentions. Many have terrible stories to tell about job adverts such as this. Many have fallen victims, and the people behind this still keep pasting them along major roads. I really wonder why security agencies have not been able to trace themselves people through the phone numbers they include in these adverts.

Share your experience if you have encountered them before.

Lol. E don happen. People wey nor dey like to mind their business.

This one is still living in stone age. We have moved pass the Akara discussion

I am very certain of the type of people the 'We' refers to. People will write on whatever they want to write on. This is a public forum, and the last time I checked, it does not belong to your father. So you can swerve! Nobody send you.

Stop disturbing us again on Naira land

I will post whatever I like on Nairaland. The forum is a public forum, and the last time I checked, the forum does not belong to your father. So if you are not comfortable with it, you can swerve to Ajeromi WhatsApp group to practice your tribalism there!

Akara Economics: The National Prosperity Curriculum By Stephanie Shakaa

July 18, 2026

Akara Economics: The national prosperity curriculum, by Stephanie Shaakaa
Akara Economics: The national prosperity curriculum, by Stephanie Shaakaa
Every nation possesses an underlying theory of prosperity. Singapore built industries. South Korea bet on technology. China transformed manufacturing into an economic superpower. Across history, the countries that escaped poverty did so by making deliberate investments in productivity, innovation and infrastructure. Every generation inherited that vision and expanded upon it.


Nigeria, however, appears to have developed something altogether different. We have gradually embraced a new economic philosophy, one where the distance between hardship and prosperity is measured not by the strength of our institutions, but by the space between a frying pan, a charcoal grill and a small patch of land behind the house. It is a philosophy sustained by countless motivational speeches, television interviews and social media sermons, all repeating the same reassuring message. Economic transformation is always just one side hustle away.

It is a philosophy built on optimism, and optimism has always been one of Nigeria’s greatest resources. Give Nigerians a challenge and they will search for an opportunity. Give them uncertainty and they will find a way to survive. Across markets, workshops and small businesses, millions of citizens have demonstrated an extraordinary ability to create something out of almost nothing.

The problem is not the dignity of that effort.
The problem begins when survival strategies slowly become substitutes for economic strategy.

This is the curious contradiction at the heart of many conversations about poverty and prosperity in Nigeria. We celebrate resilience, as we should. We admire entrepreneurship, as we should. But somewhere along the way, we have become too comfortable asking ordinary citizens to carry burdens that properly belong to functioning institutions.

That is where the National Prosperity Curriculum appears to have entered the national conversation.

The lessons are wonderfully simple. If prosperity seems distant, perhaps the answer is closer than expected. Start with akara. Add roasted corn. Consider a vegetable garden. Somewhere between the frying pan, the roadside grill and the backyard farm lies a pathway to economic empowerment.

There is nothing wrong with any of these activities. In fact, they represent some of the strongest traditions of Nigerian enterprise. The woman selling akara before sunrise, the man roasting corn by the roadside and the family cultivating vegetables behind their home are not examples of failure. They are examples of determination.

Yet a nation must eventually ask itself a difficult question: are these opportunities, or are they signs of how much citizens have been forced to improvise?

If this curriculum continues to expand, perhaps our universities will have to adjust. Economics students may no longer spend their entire time studying theories of production and development. They may need courses in Applied Akara Economics, where scholars examine the relationship between beans, inflation and national prosperity. Future economists may defend doctoral theses on whether a roadside grill can succeed without reliable electricity or affordable credit. The joke works because the reality behind it is serious.

Nigerians do not lack ideas. They do not lack creativity. They do not lack the willingness to work. If hard work alone determined national wealth, Nigeria would have solved many of its economic problems decades ago.

Then there is agbado.

Few crops have enjoyed such a remarkable journey through the national imagination. Rice feeds millions. Yam carries cultural importance. Cassava quietly supports communities across the country. Corn, however, seems to have achieved something far greater: influence.

One begins to wonder whether agricultural science has overlooked some hidden quality possessed by maize. If crops were allowed to contest elections, agbado would probably enter the race with an impressive manifesto, while yam and cassava demanded an explanation for their reduced visibility.

Somewhere, one imagines, a confused yam is asking a very reasonable question:

“What exactly must I do to receive this level of national attention?”

The conversation eventually expanded beyond agriculture and reached Nigeria’s most successful entertainers, with calls for wealthy musicians to do more for struggling citizens.

No reasonable person opposes generosity. Nigerians have always celebrated those who use their success to help others. Philanthropy has built schools, supported families and provided assistance where government systems have fallen short.

But there is something revealing about how quickly public expectations move from institutions to individuals.

The successful musician is no longer only expected to entertain. The wealthy business owner is no longer only expected to create jobs. The celebrity is increasingly asked to become an unofficial welfare agency. That tells us something important about our society. We have become remarkably skilled at finding heroes to solve problems that require systems.

And perhaps that is why Nigerians laugh so much about these conversations. Humour has become one of our oldest survival skills. We turn frustration into jokes, uncertainty into memes and hardship into stories we can share with one another. But behind every joke about akara economics is a parent calculating school fees. Behind every joke about roasted corn is a trader wondering whether today’s sales will cover tomorrow’s expenses. Behind every conversation about vegetable gardens is a family trying to create security in an economy that often feels unpredictable.

The laughter is real. So is the struggle. There is absolutely nothing shameful about honest work. Frying akara is honourable. Roasting corn is honourable. Planting vegetables is honourable. Every person who works to provide for themselves and their families deserves respect. But the ambition of a nation should be larger than producing citizens who become increasingly skilled at surviving.

Development is not measured by how many side hustles people can successfully manage. It is measured by how many people eventually have the freedom to pursue opportunities beyond survival.

Perhaps that is the lesson missing from the National Prosperity Curriculum. People do not only deserve another way to cope.
They deserve the chance to dream beyond akara.

Stop posting nonsense here.

@seun, educate your mods

If e pain you too much, go and remove it from front page, instead of ranting up and down like an abandoned child on Nairaland.

creativejagaban:
You go explain tire.

If the deed was done by MC Oluomo rather than odogwu, would you be writing this article to explain what you don't know

Tinubu till 2031.

If you want to do your political campaign, take it to Politics Section. Maybe you missed your way here.

Codes151:
Just look at what’s we are seeing on Nairaland.

Indeed. We need another news forum.

Nairaland is not your father's property. If you are not comfortable, you can move to Twitter or other platforms. Nobody owes you anything.

richiejedi:
That she was seen in wherever dancing with guys doesn't make her wayward or spoilt,she can do all of these and chose to keep her virginity,so don't judge her base on that,girls that mix with guys alot are more decent..

Oga keep quiet! When you raise your daughters, encourage them to rock different men in the club. Una own suppose dey good, but other people own deserve to get spoilt.

I posted this on Family Section, but una move am go Celebrity Section.

Modified: When I said that this generation of young people are only loud online, but many of them are very empty, it sounded like a joke. The said Odogwu Asaba seems not to be an educated person. He was arrested for alleged rape, and not murder as some dumb people have been screaming. Some have been adding tribal and political colourations to the issue. Imagine!

My main concern is the issue of parental irresponsibility here, because with how the society is moving, there is likely to be more victims like Favour Agbro in the nearest future.

Let the law take its course and unravel what actually transpired. If the suspect had sent 100k or 200k to the girl, do you think this issue would have seen the light of the day? If Odogwu Asaba had given the girl 10 million Naira as a gift, and she goes on social media to flunt it, the same people ranting here would have been saying: 'Oh, God when'?

The other day, a young woman went online to talk about how she slept with different guys in a day. When problem arises tomorrow, people will still come online to rant.

If a wayward life is profitable, please encourage your sons and daughters to embrace it when you start having children.

This is late Favour Agbro, dancing sexually with two young men in a nightclub. This is the same 20 year-old 'virgin'.

With all sincerity, I blame her parents because things like this are remotely caused by parental responsibility. Why should a 20 year-old girl be seeking financial assistance from unknown men outside while her parents are alive and healthy? Why would a 20 year-old girl come off as a breadwinner because she is into TikTok content creation?

The smallest unit of the society is the family. When family values are eroded, east becomes west, and north turns south.

And the information was WhatsApp chats? Don't waste time pls. Have you ever noticed WhatsApp info telling you your chats are End-to-End encrypted? Do you know what that means?

Oga, the chats were screenshots and not retrieved.

How can a man wear black shoes and brown belt? Strange!

amstamon:
With your response , it's obviously fabricated
Sha try dey control your emotions

Stop projecting yourself on others with your warped mentality. The leaked chats were posted by Israel Joe, who has been helping the family with the case. Ignorant people like you will just come online to embarrass yourselves.

amstamon:
Fake fabricated WhatsApp chat.anyone could just save any contact and do a two-way chat with anyone just to create a false chat history in other to trend with any trending stories.
Rubbish

Maybe that is what you do for a living. Scamming people with fake and fabricated WhatsApp chats.

lightwind:
Bros, is it the girl on this video ?

Yes

Macphenson:
The girl committed suicide because she felt her long guarded virginity was lost for just #10k.

You are not far from the truth. The threat and lack of adequate compensation led to her committing suicide.

Modified: I have seen some of her videos. I really doubt it that the girl was a virgin as she claimed. Rape is a criminal offence, yes no doubt, but the girl could not have been a virgin from some of her videos I saw and what she was doing.

It is easier for a cow to pass through the eye of a needle than to find a 20 year-old virgin in Agbarho, Delta State. I know those places. Na my area. Make nobody tell me nonsense.

I have seen some leaked chats between Asaba content creator, Ifeanyi Ogbonna aka Odogwu Asaba and the girl he raped, Favour before she committed suicide. From the chats, I was able to understand that:

1. She did not just kill herself because she was raped by Odogwu Asaba. The man kept on threatening her that she should go ahead and involve the police.

2. Ifeanyi Ogbonna aka Odogwu Asaba did not handle the issue properly. He did not compensate her enough as she had expected for his act. I don't need to explain this in details. Let the chats do the explanation.

3. I do not think this is the first time Odogwu Asaba has done something like this. It could be that the other young girls he forcefully slept with did not escalate the issue because they accepted the peanuts he gave them.

4. I would not want to speak evil of the dead, but our young girls should be very careful. What was she planning to go and do in Abuja if Odogwu Asaba did not discourage her from going? I am sure she wasn't going to Abuja for a church crusade. What if the man in Abuja had used her for ritual purposes?

5. The inadequacy of due compensation and threats from Odogwu Asaba escalated the issue and led to her death.

My last words:

• If you are a lady, do not travel to see a man you do not know. Anything can happen. Protect your life. May social media and content creation not destroy the lives of our young people.

• As A man, it is better to visit a brothel than to rape a woman. It can ruin your life and future plans.

No problem, but be prepared for the journey to meet your creator as he who kills with the sword shall be killed with the sword. There is no peace for the wicked.

Stories. Na today?

This is the video that Ifeanyi Ogbonna aka Odogwu Asaba Used in luring Favour from Agbarho down to Asaba to rape her. People should be very careful with what they see on the internet.

Most of these so-called social media influencers possess questionable characters. I really do not want to mention names, but sometimes when I look at the calibre of people that our young people in Nigeria look up to as role models, I just cannot help but shake my head in disbelief.

Imagine someone who has been a male prostitute in Dubai being your role model. Imagine someone who has travelled to Ghana to scam people being your role model. Imagine someone who everyone knew as an internet fraudster back in Awka being your role model. Imagine someone who has been a criminal in Italy being your role model. I will not mention names, but you should know the people I am refering to. Use your tongue to count your teeth.

This generation of young people are only loud on the internet, but many of them are gullible and directionless in reality. It is the era of mob mentality.

Be wise! Know your way nor be curse!

Employee/Employer relationship is business, and when it is business, then it is not personal. If there is no growth financially and in terms of skills or knowledge, move ahead. Remember, it is business and it is impersonal.

mila1121:
Why kill her is it worth it all

Oga read the news properly.

Problem for Odogwu Asaba. I didn't know this guy is this terrible. I have seen few of his videos.

The Delta State Police Command has confirmed the arrest of a 44-year-old popular content creator simply identified as Odogwu Asaba.

The suspect was arrested for allegedly raping a 21-year-old girl (name withheld). The girl was said to have committed suicide after the incident.

It was said that the deceased was lured into Asaba by the suspect under the pretence of wanting to help her.

Police Public Relations Officer, SP Bright Edafe, confirmed the arrest to DAILY POST on Wednesday.

It was learnt that the suspect was arrested on Tuesday at his residence in Asaba, following a petition by a human right activist, Comrade Israel Joe.

The suspect is currently in police custody and has allegedly confessed to the crime.

Warri based human rights activist, Comrade Israel Joe, commended the Delta State Police Command for the arrest, just as he insisted that justice must be seen to have been served in the matter.

This is a nice post. It has been on my mind.

Kalatium:
When i was younger i enjoyed some of this until everything changed.

Life is constantly changing. By the time we are im our 60s. Things will have really change beyond recognition.

Relationships today are loose, transactional and usually strictly undefined.

WhiteIverson:
Well, now dating has become strictly transactional. Only the highest bidders can indulge.

Na so we see am for the society now. Life is more complex and relationships are highly complicated.
