Couple who sells Akara shares story
In a detailed video shared on TikTok by @oacthecreator, the woman from Benue State opened up about her humble beginnings. She revealed that before moving to Abuja, she was living in the village and doing nothing.
Her husband eventually looked for money and gave her N12,000 to start the street food business. The woman explained that she went to the market, bought things in small quantities, and started cooking with just one "mudu" of beans alongside a small portion of pap.
Her husband stated:
"Through this akara, we built our own house in the village. Through this akara, we bought this motor we parked here. We use it to carry our things to come. We are not entering keke again. And many they are still coming more, I believe."
Felicia expressed deep gratitude to her husband, describing him as a very wonderful man who ignores critics who mock his involvement in the business. She noted that some people used to taunt him for being an "akara seller," but he remains unbothered.
Speaking on her growing customer base, Felicia said:
"My customers, they are the best because you will see cash, you will think it's another different thing that is happening here. Some people say it's not ordinary. My customers will come here, they will line up, they will wait. Some will send their dispatchers. They have been trying for me."
