A video showing billionaire businessman, Tony Elumelu, buying roasted corn from a roadside vendor has resurfaced and gone viral on social media, days after First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, encouraged Nigerians to explore small-scale businesses such as selling akara, roasted corn, and kuli-kuli.
In the footage, Elumelu, dressed in a formal suit, is seen walking along a busy Lagos expressway accompanied by members of his entourage.
He approaches a roadside stall shaded by a yellow umbrella, inspects ears of roasted corn displayed on a grill, and interacts with the vendor before making a purchase.
Sharing the video at the time, Elumelu wrote, “Jollof is nice but some days we sample roasted corn along the Lagos express… Some cravings die hard.”
PUNCH Online reports that the clip, dated back to around 2019, has been widely circulated by blogs and users on Sunday.
