Corn seller defends her roadside business
In a very short TikTok video, a content creator approached the corn seller, inquiring how much she makes from the business per month.
"Per month, I make like N2.5 million," the corn seller replied the content creator.
In another video, the corn seller defended her business, saying one could use the proceeds from it to train their children, build a house and do other things.
"You can use the money and train your children. You can use the money and build a house. You can use the money to do a lot of things.
"But when you look at people roasting corn and you think that it is a small business. But when you join the business, you will see, you will be happy," she said.
The corn seller did not shed light on how she operates her business to arrive at the monthly profit amount, which many people found outrageous.

CoilSpace Inc said:
"If she makes 300 profit per corn, she will have to sell up to 300 corn daily to make 2.5M... So the question is, it it possible to sell up to 300 corn daily?"

"No be only 2.5 million, na you tell her to say 2.5 million, mama won say 25k."
Crevonix said:
"2,500,000/30days= 83,333.33 daily if she sell from 6am till 10 that's 16hrs 83,333.3316hrs = 5,208.33 hourly if she's making 200 gain from each corn, she have to sell 26 pieces of corn hourly 👍 that's 416.67 corn daily for 16hrs excluding all her expenses."
