Nigerian singer Mr Real has stirred reactions online after rejecting recent economic advice given by the First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, stating that he would rather turn to baπditry than follow the suggested path.
The "Legbegbe" crooner made the remark while reacting to comments made by the First Lady on ways low-income Nigerians can improve their economic situation.
The controversy followed remarks by Oluremi Tinubu last Thursday, where she encouraged Nigerians with limited financial resources to consider small-scale businesses such as frying akara, roasting corn, or producing kuli-kuli, noting that such ventures require little start-up capital and can serve as a source of income.
Reacting to the advice, Mr Real dismissed petty trading as a practical solution to the economic difficulties facing many Nigerians.
His response has since generated mixed reactions on social media, with some users criticizing his remarks while others debated the effectiveness of small-scale businesses as a means of economic empowerment in the current climate.
