You people will be genuinely angry that celebrities that don't know you aren't abiding by the rules of the parasocial beef you've created amongst yourselves for them.

I've been seeing quotes and comments on this post, and it has been cracking me up 😂😂. The only restaurant you should be paying such ridiculous prices for food should be a 5 star ⭐ Michelin restaurant. But I doubt Nigeria even has such restaurants scattered about maybe two in Lagos and two in Abuja.
The problem is that Nigerians are consumerists and classists. They love to signal status and prove that they are high class or better than their neighbours. So even if it means paying exorbitant prices just to signal status, they will.
These restaurants have clocked this. A local restaurant or local bistro that would be ordinary in Europe becomes a "premium" establishment here. They overcharge Nigerians because they know our classist nature will make us pay just to belong.
It is not about the food. It is about the aesthetic. It is about the validation. It is about being seen in a place that signals "I have arrived." You are not paying for the meal. You are paying for the photo, the story, the fleeting feeling of superiority.
But here is the irony. You are being played. The restaurant knows you are not there for the food. You are there for the status. So they charge you double, triple whatever you will pay. And you pay it happily because it makes you feel like you belong to an exclusive social class.

I’m sorry but paying 6 figures in naira for a meal that English people would pay less than a tenner for in their country will never not be hilarious to me loool 💀
