A Nigerian lady recently made headlines on social media after tithing with her entire salary.

The lady who finally landed a job due to her husbands efforts After a long period of unemployment, started working four months ago.

Recently, the organization where they both work (though in different branches) paid out a lump sum of three months’ back salary. Her share came to approximately ₦640,000.

Because the husband works within the same ministry, he was fully aware that the salaries had been disbursed.

When a week passed and his wife still hadn’t brought up the money, he decided to ask her about it.

She shocked him by revealing that she had given the entire ₦640,000 to her church as a “seed” offering.

Furious at this unilateral decision, the husband has now issued a strict ultimatum: she must recover the money from her church within seven days, or pack her bags and leave their home.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu sparked laughter at the inaugural Presidential Press Corps Dinner in Abuja after playfully referring to his wife, Oluremi Tinubu, as “Iya Alakara,” a Yoruba phrase that means “mother of an akara seller.” The remark was seen as a light-hearted response to the recent online discussions surrounding the First Lady’s comments on petty trading.

The First Lady recently encouraged women to consider small-scale businesses such as selling akara and other local products as pathways to economic empowerment. Her comments, however, generated mixed reactions on social media, with some critics arguing that the remarks appeared insensitive to the economic difficulties facing many Nigerians.

During the dinner, President Tinubu’s humorous reference drew smiles and applause from attendees, with many interpreting it as an acknowledgment of the public debate surrounding the First Lady’s remarks. The nickname quickly gained traction online, further fueling conversations on social media.

Earlier, the First Lady had clarified that her remarks were intended to promote entrepreneurship and self-reliance among vulnerable Nigerians. Through the Renewed Hope Initiative, the Federal Government has also rolled out support programmes aimed at empowering petty traders and small business owners across the country.
