"Nigeria is a great country, we have a lot of wealthy people, but our priorities are different. I think it's high time we started helping those who need help in the country. "I want to appeal to our young ones in the entertainment industry. I have mentioned it before, and I will use Akon, a music icon who does a lot of great charity work. They make the Burna Boys of this world, the Asakes, Davido, all of them. We want to see you with one foundation or the other, helping the poor with your money.
Good cars are good, a Maybach is good, a Rolls-Royce is good, but still, you can help the people. The burden on the government is huge. You can still help. There are pepper sellers, there are vegetable sellers, there are okra sellers, melon sellers, and akara sellers. Akara is delicious, I can tell you that." First Lady Oluremi Tinubu has stood her ground on her widely criticised akara empowerment comment, while also taking aim at Nigeria's biggest music stars, urging them to give back to the less privileged.
