I Make ₦2.5 Million Every Month” — Roasted Corn Seller’s Bold Income Claim Sparks Reactions Online
Aroasted corn seller has set social media buzzing after claiming that the business earns her as much as ₦2.5 million every month, challenging the widespread belief that roadside businesses generate only modest incomes.
According to the woman, her roasted corn business has grown into a profitable venture through consistency, strategic location, and a steady flow of customers. She said the business provides her with a substantial monthly income, adding that many people underestimate the earning potential of small-scale enterprises.
Her revelation has sparked mixed reactions online. While many social media users applauded her entrepreneurial spirit and described her story as proof that hard work can pay off regardless of the type of business, others questioned whether the figure represents total monthly sales or actual profit after deducting expenses such as the cost of corn, charcoal, transportation, labour, and other operating costs.
The claim has also reignited conversations about entrepreneurship in Nigeria, with many noting that some informal businesses can generate significant revenue when managed effectively. Others, however, urged caution, pointing out that high turnover does not necessarily translate into high profit.
As the discussion continues, the roasted corn seller’s statement has become another reminder that opportunities for success can exist in unexpected places, provided there is dedication, good business management, and a strong customer base.
