Viral Corn Seller Recants N2.5 Million Monthly Earnings Claim

A Nigerian street vendor, who gained significant online attention on Monday, July 6, following her assertion of earning N2.5 million each month from selling roasted maize, has now publicly withdrawn her initial statement. The woman, whose name was not provided in the original report, had previously captivated social media users with her bold income declaration.

Faith Obieke, the TikTok content creator responsible for the original viral footage, recently reconnected with the vendor. In a subsequent video, the woman disavowed her earlier declaration and appealed to Nigerians for understanding and forgiveness. According to her, she has never achieved such a substantial income from her business operations since its inception.
