One of Nigeria’s leading retail food outlets, Chicken Republic, has turned around a major public relations fiasco and become a darling of the masses with its introduction of a N500 meal of rice and egg.

Just two months ago Chicken Republic had become public enemy number one after two contract security staff were fired for joyfully dancing in the course of their duty. The security contractor managing the lads thought their conduct unseemly.

Many Nigerians, however, thought otherwise as they saw the lads basking in joy in their seemingly lowly jobs.

Knowledge of the firing aroused public anger especially on social media with many vowing never to step into the growing fast meal franchise.

Remarkably, the introduction of the N500 rice meal came with the announcement that the two teenagers fired from their job had arrived Cyprus under a scholarship programme provided by by Apostle Chibuzor Chinyere, GO of Omega Power Ministry (OPM).

Many Nigerians have indeed taken to social media to express their happiness after Chicken Republic announced the introduction of rice and egg meal sold at N500.

Recall that Chicken Republic, one of the leading restaurants in Nigeria had taken to their official handles to announce the introduction of a new combo in their menu.

The introduction of the rice and egg combo sold at N500 has gotten many Nigerians excited. While many opined that it was a clean way to enjoy quality meal at affordable price, many others blamed the country’s economy as they mocked Chicken Republic for struggling to stay in business.

Controversial Influencer, @DanielRegha had taken to his Twitter handle to express joy over the recent development by the restaurant.

He wrote: “Chicken Republic has added “Rice and boiled egg” to their menu for just N500, very cheap; I love this. Anytime there’s no better mama-put nearby, I may try it out. I don’t know why some people are complaining, be happy cos at least with just N500 u can eat & collect free AC.”

His post however stirred numerous reactions from social media users, see some reactions gathered:

@Iamolivea: I love how innovative they are.

@UgwunnaEjikem

Unpopular Opinion: Chicken Republic’s 500 naira “rice & egg” is another example of how brands in Nigeria are constantly forced to adjust to our ever plunging purchasing power… Just like with the “satchetization” of almost every grocery & food in Nigeria, it is not a good sign.

@abjghost: i feel the 500 menu they implemented is to cater for people in Lagos. Lagosians are suffering honestly. If you sell rice and egg in Abuja, na only you and your staff go chop am

@photobyeazy: ANYTIME THERE IS NO BETTER MAMA PUT I WILL TRY IT. i just like this guy

@OluwatayoRhoda: I don’t get it, this is an insult to the chicken rep side. You people are known for being unique by selling some special meals, now you’re following the multitude. This is wrong.

@AbdulAz21614813: Weldone Daniel for the happiness frm chicken republic to u who AC help, do ur thin advice chicken, e should not long to slash the price to 250 so that evri of their Branches people wil que for food.

@REALLIFETALKWI1: I love that, especially for ppl like us who doesn’t like chicken

@Gbemmy_Okito: They keep coming through for the masses ??

@DinatTope: I love the idea too, at least whenever I’m broke in school or can’t cook i can easily buy that

Meanwhile, the Chicken Republic security guards who were sacked for dancing on duty and 13 others  have arrived in Turkey on full University scholarship given to them by Apostle Chibuzor Chinyere, GO of Omega Power Ministry (OPM).
