Online Reaction
The video quickly spread across social platforms, prompting a variety of comments from viewers.
Bulus Paul remarked, “The economy is tough; even upscale spots are turning to Bukka‑style service just to make sales, and this is genuine, not staged content.”
Ibrahim suggested, “She might be seeing low engagement; perhaps she should adopt a King Mitchy‑style approach.”
Riz sign commented, “Those so‑called celebrities who never support their own ventures are just good at spraying fake money; the real patrons are orderly individuals, not the pretentious crowd.”
Chris observed, “When a kilogram of Titus fish sells for ₦12,000, it’s clear the nation’s pressures have pushed even thriving business owners onto the streets. If established names like Hilda Baci are hitting the pavement to court customers at cut‑rate prices, imagine the daily struggle of the average Nigerian.
Surviving in Nigeria today feels like an extreme sport.”
Donald added, “Is she no longer selling spaghetti and turkey for 26 kain? With all the naysayers like Opeyemi Famakin insisting she knows her niche, the debate continues.”
