‘I’d rather join bandits than sell akara, kulikuli’ – Singer Mr Real

Afrobeats singer, Mr Real, has reacted to First Lady Oluremi Tinubu’s recent economic advice to Nigerians amid the worsening economic hardship in the country.

DAILY POST reported that Mrs Tinubu sparked mixed reactions after she urged Nigerians to embrace petty trades like selling akara, kulikuli and roasted corn, claiming that such businesses are not costly to set up.

Reacting, singer Mr Real criticised the First Lady’s statement as insensitive.

The ‘Legbegbe’ hitmaker said he would rather join banditry than go into petty trading like Mrs Tinubu suggested.

Mr Real said he is confident that the government would eventually give him amnesty and rehabilitate him if he joins banditry.

On his Instagram page, the singer wrote, “I go rather join bandit than to sell kulikuli and akara. And my target will be only politicians. At least if I am caught, they will rehabilitate me.”
