A Nigerian man, who spent four years pursuing a university degree, has found himself selling akara (fried bean cakes) by the roadside due to the harsh reality of unemployment. Despite his academic achievements, he has been unable to secure a job in his field, forcing him to explore alternative means of supporting himself.
This poignant story highlights the struggles faced by many Nigerian graduates, who are often met with a lack of job opportunities and inadequate support systems. The man’s determination to make a living, despite the challenges, is a testament to his resilience and resourcefulness.
As he navigates this new path, he joins the ranks of numerous entrepreneurs who have turned to street food vending as a means of survival. His akara stall has become a beacon of hope, offering a delicious and affordable treat to passersby while serving as a reminder of the importance of perseverance in the face of adversity.
