Tuesday, June 7, 2026 - Controversial singer, Maverick singer Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, popularly known as Portable, has defended First Lady, Remi Tinubu’s small scale business advice to unemployed Nigerian women.
Remi Tinubu received backlash after urging unemployed
Nigerian women to embark on frying bean cake popularly known as akara and
selling roasted corn for survival.
Reacting to the controversy in a recent episode of The
Honest Bunch Podcast, Portable claimed that the First Lady’s statement was
misinterpreted.
He insisted that there was nothing wrong with Mrs Tinubu’s
urging unemployed Nigerians to embrace small-scale businesses, claiming that
the parents of many successful people in the country trained their children
with the money they made from petty trades.
He also stated that small-scale business is lucrative,
claiming that he met some corn sellers who drive luxury cars during his trip to
London, United Kingdom.
“Nigerians misunderstood what Remi Tinubu meant. If you look
at many wealthy people in this country, their mothers trained them by selling
pepper and roasted corn. When I went to London, I even saw someone selling corn
while using a Benz,” Portable stated.
