I would rather join b@nditry than to sell kulikuli and akara – Singer, Mr Real

Nigerian singer Mr Real has rejected First Lady Oluremi Tinubu’s economic advice, stating he would rather join banditry.

The “Legbegbe” crooner made the controversial statement in direct response to recent economic advice from First Lady Oluremi Tinubu.

The controversy stems from remarks made by Mrs. Tinubu last Thursday, in which she advised low-income Nigerians to venture into small-scale businesses like frying akara (bean cakes), roasting corn, or making kuli-kuli (peanut cakes) as a pathways to economic empowerment requiring minimal start-up capital.

Reacting, Mr Real rejected the idea of petty trading as a solution to the country’s economic hardships.
