See The Story Of Nigerian Man Who Roasts Corn In Dubai For A Living (photo) by Bidexdestiny: 11:55am On Oct 03, 2016

A Nigerian man who roasts maize
sells
chicken with mashed potato in Dubai
for
a living has become an unlikely source
of inspiration for many. The story of the
man
identified as Obinna from Anambra
State
has left many really shocked. Read the
interesting story as shared by Anambra State Online Media: “My
name is Obinna. When i arrived Dubai
and couldn’t get a job, i decided to
think
out of the box on what to do to make
a living and one day, while in a local
restaurant, a man came and placed an
order. “When the waiter came with
the order, it
was Chicken With Mashed Potato and
Grilled Corn but the corn was not roasted
the native Nigerian way as we do with
coals. “That was when the idea came
and i
decided to give it a try. I contacted a
local farmer who supplied raw corn for me
and
started roasting them close to my
neighborhood across the street.


“At first, people who passed by looked
at
me with curiosity as they had never
seen
anything of its kind up until one man
approached me and i gave him one corn
cob to taste. he liked it and the
following
day, invited 4 of his friends who
bought and even took some home.”
According to Obinna, that day marked the
beginning of his turnaround in the
business. The business according to
him is the first
of it’s kind in Dubai and in no time
became a popular delicacy in the neighborhood with people especially
Nigerians living there who want to
have a
taste of home patronise him on a daily
basis. When asked how much he makes as
profit, Obinna smiled and said, “The
profits are not bad. I sell each corn cob
for
about 5 to 8 Dirham depending on the
size and on a very good day, I take about
60 to 80 Dirham (22$USD)(N8,000)
home.”, he said
