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.
