Summary: Nollywood veteran Eucharia Anunobi appears to clap back at First Lady Oluremi Tinubu’s ‘urgent 2k’ comments, urging Nigerians to start small businesses like selling akara. See the details of the spicy online drama.

The legendary “urgent 2k”. If you’ve been on Nigerian social media for more than five minutes, you know the phrase. It’s the unofficial distress signal for when things are tight. Well, it seems Nollywood veteran and evangelist, Eucharia Anunobi, has had enough of it, and she dropped a video that has set the internet on fire.
In a now-viral clip, the actress didn’t mince words. While she didn’t mention any names, the timing and her message have led many to believe she was throwing some major shade at Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu.
You see, this all seems to stem from a recent comment credited to the First Lady about the constant requests for “urgent 2k”. Now, entering the chat with her own take, Apostle Eucharia has offered some, let’s say, enterprising advice.
Speaking with her signature dramatic flair, she basically asked why people are always begging for handouts.
“Every time, you’ll be asking for urgent 2k… Nonsense!” she declared in the video.
Instead of waiting for alerts, Auntie Eucharia advised people to roll up their sleeves and get their hustle on. What kind of hustle, you ask? She gave a full list of small-scale businesses that anyone can supposedly start with minimal capital:
* Selling akara (bean cakes)
* Roasting corn or plantain
* Making and selling zobo or kunu
* Starting a small-scale hairdressing service
Her point was clear: Stop the entitlement and start a business, no matter how small. “With N1000 or N2000, you can start something,” she insisted.
As you can imagine, the internet had a field day! The comment section exploded with reactions. Many viewers immediately connected her message to the First Lady’s earlier statement, calling it a classic case of “gbas gbos.”
Some praised her for preaching self-reliance, saying she was speaking nothing but the truth. Others, however, pointed out that it’s easy for a celebrity to give this advice. They argued that even starting an akara business requires more than just N2,000 when you factor in the cost of beans, oil, gas, and other materials in today’s economy.
Whether it was a direct swipe or just a timely coincidence, one thing is for sure: Eucharia Anunobi has added a very spicy chapter to the ongoing “urgent 2k” conversation.
So, what do you think? Is she spitting facts, or is it easier said than done? Let us know your thoughts
