A video has gone viral online showing a man visibly shocked after discovering that the hotel in Edo State, Benin, he paid ₦50,000 per night for could not provide running water due to a power outage — instead, placing yellow gallons of water in front of each guest’s room.

In the footage, the man is heard expressing disbelief at the situation. “After paying 50K per night, they couldn’t even pump water for us! They said there’s no light, and see what they’re doing — they dropped yellow gallons of water at every door like we’re in the village!” he lamented.

The scene, captured in the hotel corridor, showed neatly lined yellow gallons — one in front of each room. The man’s tone and body language reflected a mix of anger and ridicule over what he considered extremely poor service, especially for the high price.

The clip has since sparked mixed reactions online, with many Nigerians criticizing the hotel's lack of backup power and water infrastructure, while others pointed fingers at the larger issue of unreliable electricity in the country.

Shebi, you never lodge in a hotel were you shared towel with your neighbor (other room) before....
This is Nigeria 😅

Na Inn...

Take d gallon Innside

It is finished. The only problem here is the huge amount the hotel is charging. In Nigeria of today,running business successfully is now an Herculean task. For an hotel, cost of paying NEPA BILL is crazy, diesel cost, maintainance of generators, government levies and other overheads makes it extremely difficult to stay afloat. This is very embarrassing.

LMAO!

Funnily annoying


The Nigerian system is designed to stain your white at one point or another, regardless of the few bucks you can throw around.

Hardship & inconvenience is the emblem of every (Nigerian) institution / organization / establishment / group / etc...

You'll see two or more Nigerians arguing profusely on who has the highest hardship experience, as if suffering and/or poverty is a competition that deserve a plaque.

No be Mumu dey pay #50k a night?
Even Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, and Dangote would never waste #50k just for a night, only a poor man who feels he has arrived.

Sometimes I wonder what kind of a country Nigeria is. The most unusual things are now normalized due to poverty and hardship caused by bad governance.

TBH,I respect men who spend so much money on lodging in hotels,until they go broke

They even gave you water, go to some hotels in Enugu city then come back to tell us your experience

Takeaway gallon water to take home when they leave.
They might even not allow them to carry the jerry can home

Such hotel is not suppose to charge more than N8k-N12k or they should provide pure water instead. That's about 5 bags of pure water and less than N2k.

Tell us the truth, no be 50k u pay jor, u go cheap hotel come dey complain , 50k for Benin ke, Dem no fit try this thing for 15k hotel for Lagos...who u dey wine

Nigerian hotel dey fear me o
Expect the unexpected

50K for this rat-hole??

So what happens to guests who require more than that gallon of water for their activities?

This is why Igbos need to know everything about electricity. Igbos need to make it a massive, well planned knowledge strategy. Igbos need to lead the electricity innovation. Electric trains, electric planes, electricity at every home and businesses, electricity in the forest, and electricity under ground.
