Dear children of perdition, if your mother sold akara to send you to school, it is so you won’t end up slaves to the Tinubus. But look at you now.
You’ve become everything she prayed against.
These people have been out of touch for so long, and it is a marvel that they remain not only politically relevant but also charged with leadership. Nothing they have ever said makes sense, no matter how much sycophants try to whitewash it. Nigerian political discourse is largely an IQ test, with really no basis for debate.
The problem with giving all of this talk too much attention is that people get distracted from their true intentions and actions. The government’s local borrowing increased 75% in one year without any meaningful impact on the man on the streets. Those are the issues that deserve attention. They are stealing us blind and distracting us with rubbish conversations.
Mr Dipo, There's a reason every Akara sellers women work hard to train their kids with good education. There's a reason why she comes out everyday inside rain, inside sun.
Because she doesn't want her kids to end up like her.
Stop this nonsense bro, please stop...
Donated billions of whose money?
What job has Remi done to have billions.
You talk like she is doing us a favour!!
Just fear God.
You can serve politicians with dignity.
I really don’t care for the argument but where is this noise when the First Lady’s donates billions.
So far her foundation has spearheaded over N12.9 billion in humanitarian and developmental donations.
N20.45 billion raised from birthday well-wishers to complete the abandoned National Library headquarters in Abuja
N1 billion donated in both 2024 and 2025 toward tuberculosis eradication.
N1 billion donated to victims of banditry and natural disasters in Niger State.
N1 billion to victims of violent attacks and flooding in Plateau State.
N1 billion to victims of the Yelwata attack in Benue State.
N1 billion donated to support cervical cancer treatment programs across the nation.
N1.2 billion support across the 19 Northern states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
N1.85 billion committed to empowering Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) nationwide.
N1 billion to Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU).
I can go on
All these are within 3 years.
You guys are not serious
The woman selling akara is not praying for her kids to take over the business. She wants to give her child an education that helps him compete in this world.
It is one thing to be overtly stupid. It is another to be heartless.
“Why are your parents not selling akara?” They went to school, got good jobs and worked their way up.
“Why is your wife not selling akara?” She got the best education from a top British University.
“What have you done to help?” I help small businesses annually.
Now, them say I dey proud say I be former poor person 😂😂😂😂.
Once you agree make God run your life as BAT and Remi dey run 9ja. Then make your family need to start Akara business, then i will believe you are serious.
If you’ve ever lived in a Nigerian village or rural area, you KNOW frying Akara is SERIOUS BUSINESS! 🔥
Back in 1994, one of my secondary school mates’ mum was frying Akara… and the woman already had more than 3 houses from it! 🏠🏠🏠
Today, plenty sisters on this app are killing it with Kulikuli — some are even exporting to Canada 🇨🇦 and beyond! No be small thing.
So tell me… why the hullabaloo over what the First Lady said?
She spoke FACTS!
Akara, roasted corn, Kulikuli — these things don’t need millions to start. People have built empires, trained children, built houses, and lived well from them for decades.
Instead of twisting her words mischievously and taking one part out of context, why not celebrate the message of hope, self-reliance, and small beginnings?
No business is too small if you do it with wisdom, consistency, and prayer. Many big men and women today started with “ordinary” things.
Rural hustlers, village champions, and street entrepreneurs — una dey try! 💪

The Akara woman makes 5,000 profit everyday.
You get paid 150K every month
But you think you are better than her because there is AC in your office?
😂😂😂
You have forgotten that you spend 45,000 on transport and at the end of the day she has more disposable cash than you
My mother sold akara and bananas. I carried bananas on my head to the market in Jos. My mother sold oranges, and through this, they were able to train me.

Are these not the names our relatives across several villages bear? Were your own parents middle class or upper class? Why are you pretending? Why??
