A Nigerian woman has gone viral after claiming she earns ₦2.5 million every month selling roasted corn. Her revelation has sparked massive reactions online.
A Nigerian woman has set social media on fire after claiming she makes N2.5 million every month from selling roasted corn. Her statement has left many Nigerians surprised. While some people believe her, others have questioned if the business can really be that profitable. The video has now sparked fresh conversations about roadside businesses and how much they truly earn.
Interestingly, the claim comes only weeks after Nigeria’s First Lady, Remi Tinubu, encouraged struggling Nigerians to start small businesses. She mentioned roadside ventures like selling fried akara, roasted corn, and kuli kuli as affordable ways to make a living. Since then, many Nigerians have debated whether such businesses can generate serious income. The viral video has now added more fuel to that discussion.
During a street interview, a lady walked up to the roasted corn seller and asked how much profit she makes from the business. Without hesitation, the woman replied,
“Per month, I make like N2.5 million.”
Her response immediately caught attention online. Many viewers were shocked by the figure. Some praised her hard work, while others argued that the amount sounded too good to be true.
As expected, social media users have continued to share different opinions. Some believe location, customer traffic, and smart business strategies can make roasted corn very profitable. Others insist the figure may be exaggerated. Regardless of where people stand, the woman’s claim has once again reminded Nigerians that small businesses can attract big attention.
Whether the monthly profit is accurate or not, the conversation around roadside entrepreneurship is far from over.
