A viral clip on social media shows a corn seller claiming she earns about ₦2.5 million every month. The video has sparked intense discussion online. Many Nigerians have questioned her calculations. Some defend the idea that small businesses can be very profitable. Others worry the attention might put her at risk. The discussion reignited after the First Lady encouraged women to try ventures like roasting corn and frying akara to boost income. Critics argued such advice overlooked Nigeria’s rising costs and unemployment. President Tinubu later highlighted government funding that has supported thousands of petty traders under the Renewed Hope Initiative. The story even featured in a university exam, underlining how entrepreneurship and livelihoods remain hot topics.
