<p>The First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu has said that although luxury is good, Burna Boy, Davido, Asake and other wealthy Nigerians should help the less-privileged.</p>
<p>She said “the burden on the government is huge”, so the rich should help.</p>
<p>Also, Mrs Tinubu reiterated her call for Nigerians to consider small businesses such as akara.</p><div class="jR338wkF" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>“Nigeria is a great country. We have a lot of wealthy people. But our priorities are different. And I think it’s high time we started helping those who need help in the country.</p>
<p>“I want to appeal to our young ones in the entertainment industry.</p>

<p>“I’ve mentioned it before, and I will use Akon, a music icon who does a lot of great charity work.</p>
<p>“The Burna Boys of this world, Asake, all of them, Davido. We want to see you with one foundation or the other, helping the poor with your money.</p>
<p>“Good cars are good; a Maybach is good. Rolls-Royce is good, but still you can still help. The burden on the government is huge.</p>
<p>“You can still help.</p>
<p>“There are pepper sellers. There are vegetable sellers. There are okra sellers, melon sellers, akara, kulikuli. Akara is delicious; I can tell you that,” she added.</p>
<p>The first lady also urged Nigerians not to look down on legitimate means of eking out a living.</p>
<p>“And I read an article about a young graduate who said he didn’t get a job. And he said he sells akara because he couldn’t get a job, and he’s in Abuja.</p>
<p>“We approached him, but I didn’t put my name to it. We equipped him more. He now has 12 workers under him, and he’s doing very, very well.</p>
<p>“So our people should never despise jobs,” she said.</p>
<p>Speaking on empowerment programmes in Kogi, Tinubu announced the donation of â¦100,000 to empower another 2,000 petty traders in the state.</p>
<p>She also commended the beneficiaries for their efforts.</p>
<p>“Today in that same spirit, the Renewed Hope Initiative has donated â¦100 million to the First Lady of Kogi State and RHI coordinator to empower another 2,000 petty traders in Kogi State with the sum of â¦50,000 each to recapitalise their existing businesses.</p>
<p>“And I’m glad that the women who are beneficiaries, they got the idea because I saw them bringing their tray of different food items, very small items, to welcome me today.</p>
<p>“And I think the message is quite received, no matter how people want to turn it around,” Mrs. Tinubu added.</p>
