HOW TO BUILD AKARA BUSINESS That Can Make You ₦500,000+ Monthly (Without Owning a Restaurant)

Most people think akara is just street food.
That's why many sellers stay small.

The truth? Run it like a business, not a side hustle, and it can become a serious income stream.
Here's how. 👇🏼

Before you fry your first ball of akara, decide who you're selling to.
Commuters rushing to work? Students? Office workers? Market traders?
Different customers buy at different times and spend differently.

Location is your biggest competitive advantage.
A busy junction with average akara will often outperform excellent akara hidden inside a quiet street.
Foot traffic pays bills.

Your recipe is your brand.
Same size. Same taste. Same texture.
If today's akara tastes different from yesterday's, customers will keep searching for consistency elsewhere.

Don't sell akara alone.
Sell breakfast.
Akara + pap. Akara + bread. Akara + custard. Akara + bottled water.
The more complete the meal, the higher your average sale.

Know your numbers.
How much is one paint of beans?
How many akara balls does it produce?
What's your cost per ball?
If you can't answer these questions, you're running on hope, not profit.

Protect your margins.
Oil, gas, pepper and beans fluctuate.
Review your pricing when costs change.
Many businesses fail because they are afraid to adjust prices.

Speed matters.
Nobody heading to work wants to wait 20 minutes.
Prepare ahead.
Organise your workflow.
Fast service creates repeat customers.

Cleanliness sells.
Clean frying oil.
Clean display table.
Clean apron.
Customers may not compliment hygiene, but they will definitely notice when it's missing.

Make people remember you.
Give your business a name.
Use simple branded nylon bags.
Print your phone number on your packaging.
You want customers asking for your akara, not just any akara.

Take bulk orders seriously.
Offices.
Churches.
Schools.
Events.
One bulk order can equal an entire morning's roadside sales.

Don't eat all the profit.
Buy another fryer.
Increase production.
Hire an assistant.
Expand to another location.
Small businesses become big when owners keep reinvesting.

People laugh at akara because they see the product.
Entrepreneurs look beyond the product.
They see cash flow, repeat customers, brand loyalty and expansion.
Never look down on a business simply because it starts small.

@FabrizioRomano Norway is not that impressive to match Brazil.

The $80 million Nigerian woman, 36-year-old Adesuwa Okunbo Rhodes, is trending after a random street interview went viral.

She is the daughter of late Captain Hosa Okunbo, the businessman behind major investments, including Wells Carlton Hotels.

Her story is impressive.

For 12 years, Adesuwa quietly built Aruwa Capital, a female-led investment firm focused on transforming struggling businesses.

She buys into businesses, helps them recover, grows their value, and exits stronger.

In 2019, her fund was worth $20 million.

Today, it manages $80 million.

She has used that capital to invest in women-led businesses across Nigeria and Ghana.

Then came the question that got everyone talking:

“Is a college degree the key to success in private equity?”

Her answer surprised many:

“You don’t need a degree to get into private equity. All you need is human connection.”

“If someone is not gonna give you a sit at the table, create one for yourself"🔥🔥

That one line sparked conversations everywhere.

Behind the $80 million success is 12 years of discipline, strategy, and understanding one thing many overlook:

I love her favorite quote..."a river cuts through the rock not because of it's power but because of it's persistence".

99%of success is refusing to take a no for an answer.

@official_QV At least you gained something

The easiest money you will ever make is from solving a problem you have experienced yourself.

You already understand the customer's frustration because you've lived it.

@winexviv We celebrate football talents so loudly.

We should also make this kind of academic achievement just as visible.

It gives other children something different to aspire to. Well done Alex ✌🏼

@NigeriaStories There's illegal immigration and there's xenophobia. They are two different conversations.

I don’t care what anyone says

Renting is cheaper than owning a home

[Arinze Odira @CaptainArinze]

How I’ll empower an Akara seller in 2026:

- I’ll buy a food truck or a well-designed mobile cart fitted with gas cookers and warmers so that the akara stays hot for longer.

- I’ll provide a bag of beans, a gallon of oil, and over a thousand disposable plates. I’ll organise simple training on food hygiene, branding, customer service, basic bookkeeping, and how to register their business on food delivery apps so they can reach more customers.

- I’ll make sure they have POS machines and bank apps for ease of payment.

Empowerment should help people build sustainable businesses that reflect the realities of the modern economy. The empowerment scheme should help them compete, grow, and succeed.

@Osase_N @CaptainArinze You don't have to price with the street. Position for the segment that can pay.
