Graduate speaks on how his mother used akara business to send her kids in school

A young Nigerian man simply known as Dreezy has raised funds online for his mother, who makes a living selling akara.

The graduate took to Twitter (X) to reveal that she used the money she gets from selling akara to fund his and his siblings’ education.

He thanked her for her years of selflessness and sacrifice, and urged the public to patronize her stall in Sango, Lagos state.

Dreezy wrote; “My mom sells akara around ijora badia. (Na wetin she use dey train us dey go plus me for university) Please if you enter that sango market ask for iya ibrahim wey dey sell akara and patronize her.. 🙏🙏

For those wey no know where ijora badia dey na for inside Lagos State oo abeg make una no vex🙏🙏😂😂😂

A guy in the comments asked for directions from oshodi. From Oshodi take bus to mile 2 from Mile to Alaba oro then take Keke napep or danfo to ijora Badia drop for idigi bustop as anybody (mallam especially) from that central mosque about her.”

Also, his brother, Idris said their mother started the akara business in 1992 and they are proud of her. The young man further disclosed that they intend to retire her from the trade one day.
