GistMedia0: 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.
Which kind story be this na? Shuo….. 50k a night with this kind service? Bro even 30k rooms don’t offer such services here in Benin, nor b d Benin we all day? Drop d name and location of the hotel.
Thunder fire any governor way say that, resign if you know you can’t pay, there’s always money to foot your selfish needs but never that of the populace, shey you guys had money to sponsor your state’s delegations to Mecca/Jerusalem? Stupid rulers
So I meet this very beautiful babe around November last year. And we've been dating for 4 months now
I always wanted to get something special for her but I couldn't really decided on what would be perfect and I wanted it to be a surprise
Luckily, one day I came across this guy on NL that sells very beautiful bedspreads and duvets. I hit him up and got this love themed duvet+bedspread set for just #30k. I really think this is one of the best deals I've ever gotten from an online vendor
I'm sure my girl is gonna like this
Here's the guys NL page if you're interested👇🏾. He has a lot of exquisite designs u can pick from
Their demands are irrational and superfluous cause the strike is affecting your free trip to Mecca? The demand for better pay for Nigeria workers is irrational to you? The government spending over 50b for your trip is not irrational and superfluous to you abi? What is the benefit of these state sponsored Mecca and Jerusalem trips to Nigeria and Nigerians? What do we benefit from it as a nation and as a people? It is high time the government stop this wastage.
SultanOfPuna: I have seen this trend happen so many times with guys from warri They are so childish aggresive and loud
Any small thing they overreact and start exhibiting very childish behaviors.
I have noticed this with many people from that region. Why is it so?
Original Warri boys are not sissies so. Any act as kids, there’s no community/tribe with perfect individuals so you might have come across some loose guarded wafarians but the Warri guys I know are not what you’ve described.
xin5: A girl I am currently seeing is telling me the cost of her bride price is #120 that once I pay that..20 naira will even be handed back to me because she is not for sale. I asked her if that's all for the traditional marriage.. she said from there if we want to do big ceremony it's our choice. I think I am about to be scammed into marriage, something I might regret in the long run.. and I still wonder why her elder brother is still single (in his 40s) if marriage is cheap over there.
I wouldn't want a case whereby after doing that I will be presented an unexpected list of things to provide.
She's from the south. I want confirmation if this is true
Them go ask you to cook owho soup and buy palm wine? Na free wife u day find abi? You want to get married but you’re unwilling to spend money, go look for a lady to pay your groom price na. The 120 is the bride price but like every sane person knows there’re other bills the groom pays aside the bride price, she’s Urhobo like me so I can authoritatively tell you that everything in our marriage list cost about 70-80k except her relatives want to cash out. But shey you know say them day cook for marriage guest? You know say you n your wife go wear clothes? Best of luck
Very brave guy. Very grave allegations, he definitely will have his day in court to prove all he’s alleged. Make he keep his evidences handy else na prison he see so.
nkemjacob2: I was surprised to see this filling station in Benin city selling fuel for as low as 670 when other filling stations sell high as 800 and above
We still have patriotic Nigerians

Where in Benin is this? What’s the name of the station? Make I go buy my tank and kegs full
Doveheart: Her husband is long dead and she hasn't gotten married since then, we have been friends since then. She's my junior colleague in my former office anyways. My wife has left me close to 3 years now and I want to settle down. But I don't know if it's advisable for me to settle down with this single mother because I told her that our friendship could turn to something more serious later and, she said there's no problem about that. What do you think friends.
You tagged her a single mom of two but kept quiet about yourself, are you childless?

Mikuni: My new gf wanted me to pay her a visit. I personally don't like visiting ladies, but the desire to eat jollof rice that day made me visit her. I visited her on Friday, slept over and decided to leave early next morning.
On my way out of the compound gate, I saw something strange. I saw pieces of akara na in(bean-cake) round the whole house to the entrance of the gate. It was deliberately placed there. And one piece of akara was placed at the gate entrance, forming a large circle.
I was scared to move through the gate, so I went back and told her what I just saw. She laughed and told me that since their new "Cele" neighbor came to the compound, that's what they have been seeing, though not regularly.
I'd like to know the implication of walking over the "sacrifice", if you have experienced such. Do you advise she leaves the house ASAP??
She said her neighbor did it but you’re accusing her of being diabolical, how e take relate or is she her neighbor?
DyshApp: A Nigerian woman has disclosed that she intends to file for divorce from her husband after he hired “agebro” to beat her up.

The wife claims that her husband has never physically beaten her and that she has never dared him. She claimed he apologized after paying the agbero to beat her up.
In her words; “Am I wrong for wanting a divorce after 8 months? My husband has never beaten me directly before and I’ve never dared him to beat me.
Two months ago, we had an argument and he paid an agbero woman to come and fight me and she beat me up. He apologized but he just did it again yesterday.”divorce after 8 months? My husband has never beaten me directly before and I’ve never dared him to beat me.

Abia State Governor, Dr Alex Otti of Labour Party (LP) has concluded plans to join the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
A close associate of Otti who is also a member of the National Working Committee of the APC made the revelation on Monday adding that preparations are underway to ensure that the party accommodates Otti and all his supporters.
In March 2023, Otti was declared winner of the governorship election in Abia after he polled 175,466 votes to defeat Ahiwe of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who scored 88,529 votes.
His victory was however challenged by the candidate of the PDP, Chief Okey Ahiwe, and his counterpart in the All Progressives Congress, APC, Chief Ikechi Emenike, who came third separately.
In January , Supreme Court dismissed the appeals against Otti and upheld his election as the Governor of Abia State.
An undisclosed source in Abia State Government House who confirmed the planned defection said the need for the state to align with the government in centre necessitated the defection
According to the source, “ the governor is passionate about Abia and has the intention to increase the infrastructural status of the state.
“To achieve this feat and achieve his dreams for Abia, he needs a strong partnership with several national and international institutions. He is not leaving the Labour Party to despise anyone but he is doing it for the greater development of Abia state”
It will be recalled that the National Chairman of the APC, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje recently disclosed decision of the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration to pursue the political liberation of the South East Geopolitical zone using the instrumentality of the party.
According to Ganduje, “ The President has approved the political emancipation, he has approved the political de-marginalisation of the South-east.“
Lending his voice to the political development in the South East , Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma said the APC is primed to dominate the zone and so become the vehicle for that liberation
According to him , “ It is important that APC as a political party to become the vehicle for the South-east region to be fully integrated into the national project, that is the Nigerian project so we are determined in our region to be part and parcel of the Nigerian politics.
“Consistent to that we are going to do our best to make sure that the five states in the South-eastern region are dominated by APC by endearing our party to the people of the South-east region”
During the festive season, I journeyed home, leaving a spare key somewhere in the compound and snapping a photo of its location. A couple of weeks later, while still in my hometown, my younger brother phoned, expressing a desire to spend some time at my place. I promptly sent him the photos I'd taken earlier.
Upon getting to my door he discovered the padlock looked tampered with, as if someone had struck it. Despite this, he managed to open it, only to find my solar system missing—three panels from the roof, the inverter, and the battery from inside. Additionally, my Home Theatre system was gone. He wasted no time informing me.
Returning the next day, I began investigating. A neighbor mentioned seeing three new solar panels on a nearby roof. Following up on the lead, I confronted the owner, who happened to be a friend of my youngest brother (not my immediate sibling). He welcomed me warmly, but when I questioned him about the solar system, he claimed my brother had sold it to him, citing an urgent need for money due to a village matter. I vehemently denied this, asserting my brother took it without consent.
The friend disclosed that my brother sold him the system for a PlayStation 3 console valued at 100k and 35k cash, with an outstanding balance of 105k, totaling 240k. However, I had purchased the entire solar system for 400k back in 2019, including installation fees. The current value of a similar setup is around 600k.
He pleaded for time to retrieve the system, promising to return it within two hours after arranging a ladder and an electrician. Reluctantly, I agreed but returned three hours later to find the panels still on his roof, with no intention of return. Confronting him again, he directed me to speak with his mother, who claimed to be the buyer.
Taking the phone, his mother insisted that she purchased it from my brother and demanded a refund before returning the solar system. I informed my parents, who joined me at the location. After prolonged back and forth with the buyer's family, we filed a complaint at the nearest police station.
The following morning, accompanied by two police officers, we revisited the house. However, we were met with resistance from the entire family, including the father, mother (now claiming to be the buyer), brother, sister, and sister's husband, a FRSC Officer. They refused to cooperate without my brother's presence.
Despite this, the police managed to retrieve the inverter and battery, with plans to retrieve the panels later. Presently, the mother is in custody, and legal proceedings are underway. The solar system, excluding the panels, remains in police custody.
My question is:
Don't I have the right to collect back my solar system despite that my brother was the one who stole it from my apartment and sold it to them while I was away? Will the law help me recover my solar system and prosecute the buyer? Why can't the buyer conduct due diligence before buying a massively discounted solar system?
My younger brother is at large and all calls placed to him is not reachable Pls advice accordingly. Thanks
You could easily had resolved this issue without getting the police involved, they didn’t come to your house to get the items, your brother sold it to them, why didn’t you return the ps and money your brother collected from them? You’re doing all this to the buyers cause you guys have hidden your brother in a safe place but your brother will definitely pay for the pains he’s causing this family. U want to collect the system while your brother hold unto the game and money he collected from them, is that how you guys have been doing it or you want to swear that this is the first time your brother is stealing? Remember karma sha, we shall reap what we sow.
MoonWater: I have been in the hospitality industry for a few years and I have had funny experiences with Yoruba actress and actors.
They come to hotels and make fake transfers and when you raise their attention to such transactions, they start shouting and saying they are stars and can't run away. Guess what, they'll leave without paying. You will endup calling their lines and reaching them on Instagram DM.
Some Yoruba actors will buy food at the hotel restaurant and say the bills should be kept at the reception. They will say they will pay the bill at the point of checkout. They will leave the hotel and not come back to properly check out. Most Yoruba actors and actresses are Skippers (people who run away without paying for services rendered at hotels)
Those artists are very dishonest and will be pushing self recognition when you question their transactions. Yourba artists please stop this nonsense.
After running from the hotel and you start calling them, they will start threatening you. They say they are going to post your hotel on social media for bad service. Isn't that a blackmail? You enjoyed a service and didn't complain. But you deliberately owed and ran away. That's their stock-in-trade.
DivinegiftofGod: What's hateful about stating the obvious or is it not a Man that slept with the animal that produced that thing?
Please call a spade a spade.
You nor read where them say scientist dispute such claims abi? I nor read where them say human dna won’t work on animals abi? Thank God say your dad na man
According to the report a total of 50 million was transferred, 5 million has been squandered but a balance of 50 million is still intact. How is that possible?
Nbote: Lol.. Na PR be this and it is beginning to look ridiculous. These aren't the ones that are asking for 100m for the kidnapped girls in bwari. Neither are they the ones who kidnapped ppl from the army estate or the ones who kidnapped a man from his SUV in lugbe. Let's keep our fingers crossed and hope this isn't the usual Nigeria Police gimmicks
Seem you’ve insider’s information, why don’t you assist the police to get the “real guys” as it is obvious you know the “real kidnappers”. The police need all the help we can offer them.
vowiski: With the news that Ize Iyamu, the corrupt serial looser joined the hustle for Edo governorship seat, a lot of commentators have already given him the title as Edo next governor.
This is partly because a lot of people do not understand Edo politics. Edo is the most detribalized state in a Nigeria.
They don’t give a hoot about where you come from but your score card. That’s why they voted massively for Oshiomole against all odds because they thought he would perform , not knowing he only used Kakhi to cover his corrupt agenda.
When people knew him for who he was, they voted massively against him when he tried to remove Obaseki from the government house.
Now, the story is different , Oshiomole is no longer supporting Ize Iyamu as he saw him as the best option to remove Obaseki, he has another appointed candidate , Clem Agba, the minster the revered Oba of Benin described as a failure.
From all indication , the battle is between Obaseki’s anointed candidate Aseun from Esan land and Akpata who will become the Labour Party flag bearer …
Binis who have the voters bloc will naturally incline themselves to Obaseki’s anointed candidate from Esan land where a governor has not emerge from.
They will vote for him, not because of Obaseki’s success as a governor, far from it. Everyone knows Obaseki’s 2nd term was a monumental failure.
The only reason Obaseki’s anointed candidate will win is purely because of fairness and equity.
