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

Afrobeats singer Mr Real has reacted recent comments by Oluremi Tinubu, who encouraged Nigerians to consider small-scale businesses such as selling akara, kulikuli, and roasted corn as a way to earn a living amid the country’s economic challenges.

Reacting to the remarks, the “Legbegbe” singer described the advice as insensitive in light of the economic hardship many Nigerians are facing.

Mr Real also made a controversial remark, saying he would rather become a bandit than engage in the petty trading suggested by the First Lady.

He added that he believed the government would eventually grant him amnesty and rehabilitate him if he took that path.

Taking to his Instagram page, the singer penned … “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.”
