VeryDarkMan has reacted to remarks by First Lady Oluremi Tinubu encouraging Nigerians to consider small businesses such as frying akara, roasting corn and making kuli-kuli with grants provided through the Renewed Hope Initiative
VeryDarkMan criticized the comments, arguing that the government lacks meaningful plans for young people. He contrasted the remarks with his own monthly empowerment initiative, where he provides financial support to help people acquire vocational skills.
He also announced that he would increase the amount he sets aside for the programme to N1.5 million every month for six beneficiaries, urging Nigerians to learn a trade instead of relying on what he described as the government’s limited vision for youth empowerment.
He said:
“I dey give money to people every month so that people will empower themselves but did you hear what the president’s wife said? That people should go and fry akara, fry corn and sell kuli kuli for 2026. These people don’t have any good plans for the youth. At least now you people will value me.”
“So now I go carry the money up go N1.5m for 6 people to learn handwork every month end. You’ll tell me the work you want to do and they go share the money to una. Abeg make una learn handwork o. The good plan government have for you na akara and kuli kuli.”
