The "Educated Agidi Seller" Is Our Guest!

"Agidi" or Corn Jellos, is that very famous starchy Nigerian food made by boiling a paste of fermented maize meal or flour. It is a near staple, across Nigeria.

Now, in the last couple of weeks, one man, MOSES ETENG, a Cross Riverian, in Akwa Ibom State, has drawn thunderous applause from netizens and the larger public for braving the odds and carving a niche for himself with his near seamless making and marketing of 'Agidi'.

The "Educated Agidi Seller", as he strategically refers to himself, is our guest on this Saturday, December 17, 2022, from 8-9am, radio time.

Tune in and be inspired by the story of a man, driven by passion and hardwork to thread a path hardly throdden by young men and women like him.
