Frying Akara ( bean balls) is normally seen as a business for women. But men like Alex Ubong, a resident of Guidna, a community in the Abuja Municipal Area Council in the Federal Capital Territory, have shown that nothing is gender-biased when it comes to earning money legitimately.
As early as 6.30 in the morning, Ubong, a native of Akwa-Ibom is already out on the street preparing his stock in trade, ready to serve his customers who are usually workers leaving early for work and students.
