Many Nigerians, however, do not agree with her and argued that the location she stayed at is probably why she spent so much. Many also queried that she gives full details if hotel fees and extravagant living is included in how much she said she spent. “i have been living in Nigeria for over twenty years and in the last three years, i am not sure i have spent 1 million on the just living here o, it depends on where u stayed sha but 2.5m in two months is definitely extravagant living“, @trixxtvng wrote.“Made me feel like what I send to my mum on monthly basis are peanuts, she needs to back that claim up with facts, was hotel accommodation included, were you pooping bottles in clubs every weekend with friends and had the bills on you?
