@RealPeroTalks @ruffydfire By your logic, if a prayer walk won't stop insecurity, why did Baba go on a prayer walk when Jonathan was facing backlash due to insecurity?

Why was he planning to petition Jonatan? Did Jonathan not do his bit like Baba is telling us Tinubu has done? Help me make it make sense

@peter_sanyaolu @NigAffairs @woye1 50,000 naira is actually $30
What exactly are you expected to make off it?

[King 🤴 @Bekee_King]

@peter_sanyaolu @NigAffairs @woye1 What happened to TraderMoni under Yemi Osinbajo? How much has gone into agriculture? And what’s the plan for Nigerian youths when graduates keep increasing with no jobs or clear direction?

“It’s Not Just Akara” — First Lady Remi Tinubu Defends Her Remarks, Says the Federal Government Also Supports Tomato and Pepper Sellers, Boli Vendors and Other Small Businesses

Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has clarified that her empowerment programme for women is not limited to akara sellers, saying beneficiaries also include tomato, pepper, vegetable and bọọli (roasted plantain) traders, among other petty business owners.

Speaking during an empowerment programme in Jigawa State, the First Lady dismissed reports suggesting she singled out only akara sellers as beneficiaries of the initiative.

According to her, her office has already donated N100 million to empower 2,000 women petty traders in the state, with each beneficiary receiving N50,000 to recapitalise their businesses.

“I know they’ve been talking that I said akara. It’s not only akara. We also have tomato sellers, those selling pepper, vegetables and others in the market. We’ll continue to empower them and add to their resources so that their trade can really be sustainable,” she said.

Tinubu added that the programme was designed to strengthen existing small businesses and improve the livelihoods of women across the state.

“We are not intimidated by all those wrong reports. We are forging ahead and making sure that our people are well cared for. We will continue to care in the capacity we have,” she stated.

The First Lady also expressed optimism about Nigeria’s future, urging young people to recognise the country’s vast natural wealth beyond crude oil.
She recalled seeing expansive orange orchards during a recent trip, describing them as “mind-blowing.”

“I pray that our young people will see the resources we have in this nation. We have not even begun to explore them because we are thinking it’s oil, but there are so many things,” she said.

Tinubu urged Nigerians, especially the younger generation, to take ownership of the country and remain hopeful, stressing that “Nigeria is a blessed land” that belongs to all its citizens.

@GiwaBaban @sapio_clinton @OSAS4l Where is the infrastructure? Major roads linking the 6 geopolitical zones are in a deplorable state. We are not borrowing to industrialized the nation but only borrowing to build coastal road. Help me make it make sense.

[King 🤴 @Bekee_King]

@GiwaBaban @sapio_clinton @OSAS4l Have we stopped borrowing? We have even borrowed more with nothing to show for it.

Mind you, 50k salary was equivalent to $220. Today, that same $50 is only about $30.

@instablog9ja With the recent hike in school fees and rent since APC took over government, how can a woman who sells Akara meet up fees from the little gains made from sales of Akara?

Don't forget, the economy was good, that's why your mother could send you to school. Compare and contrast.

@shextian @Hade_Spenz @GRVlagos Japan, Dubai, New York all experience floods, yes. But citizens there don’t accept negligence as normal.
In Lagos, poor waste collection, blocked drainage, and weak enforcement worsen what should be manageable. That is what people are calling out.

[King 🤴 @Bekee_King]

@shextian @Hade_Spenz @GRVlagos “Accept it” is how problems become permanent.
Flooding happens everywhere, yes. But in functional cities it’s managed, not normalized.
Lagos cannot keep calling avoidable urban planning failures “just reality.”

@noor_xamari @FSYusuff A serious government should be talking about jobs, industrialisation, innovation and affordable education. Not romanticising poverty and calling it empowerment. Survival is not economic growth.

[King 🤴 @Bekee_King]

@Sistaliano Your story is a lie. No neighbor asked you to connect her.
The interesting thing about your story is that you have like-minds commenting and supporting your fabricated story.
You all are irredeemable!

Renewed hope = Akara empowerment.

[King 🤴 @Bekee_King]

@Imranmuhdz The tragedy of Nigeria is that while other countries are preparing their citizens for AI, robotics and advanced manufacturing, our leaders still think roasting corn is a national poverty strategy. That gap is why we keep falling behind.

Back then, small businesses like Akara N kuli kuli thrived because D cost of living made it possible to grow.

In 2026, the same businesses are struggling under inflation, high bills, and expensive education. While other nations build the future, we are being told to survive it

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

[King 🤴 @Bekee_King]

@BekeeOzzy The problem is not Akara or kuli kuli. The problem is pretending they are enough in today’s economy.

School fees have skyrocketed, rent is insane, transport is expensive, and inflation keeps killing profits. Survival is not the same as prosperity.

[King 🤴 @Bekee_King]

@FolushoxFolarin Ankara and kuli-kuli worked in the past because the economy worked. School fees were cheaper, living costs were lower.
In 2026, with crushing inflation, that hustle can’t lift people out of poverty. Nations are building AI, we’re romanticizing street survival.

@nzemmili Wanting to vote, contest, or be represented where you live, work, pay taxes, and contribute economically is not “wanting to rule.”
That’s the foundation of democracy.
If Lagos benefits from everyone’s labor and taxes, political participation cannot suddenly become an ethnic crime
