Veteran Nollywood actress Eucharia Anunobi has stirred conversations online following a comment perceived by many as a subtle jab at Nigeria’s First Lady, Remi Tinubu.
In a post making the rounds on social media, Anunobi appeared to criticise the growing trend of constantly asking for small financial assistance, popularly referred to as “urgent 2k.”
“Every time you’ll be asking for urgent 2k, haven’t you heard that you can start a small-scale business like akara and corn? How else will you become a billionaire?” she wrote.
Her statement quickly gained traction, with many users interpreting it as a reaction to ongoing conversations around economic hardship and self-reliance.
While some supported her stance on encouraging entrepreneurship and financial independence, others argued that her remarks overlooked the realities of the current economic situation faced by many Nigerians.
The comment has since sparked mixed reactions across social media, reigniting debates on wealth creation, personal responsibility, and the widening gap between public figures and everyday citizens.
As discussions continue, Anunobi’s message has once again highlighted the tension between motivational rhetoric and the lived experiences of many Nigerians navigating economic challenges.
