A Nigerian man has sparked widespread reactions online after revealing that he spent a whopping N14,000 on a simple meal of garri at a restaurant.
The man, identified as Brian Nwana on TikTok, took to social media to share a receipt detailing the cost of his meal, which quickly gained traction and left many questioning the price.
According to the receipt, the total bill amounted to N14,000, with additional charges for extra ingredients such as sugar, milk, and groundnuts.
To further prove his claim, Brian also uploaded a video showing himself enjoying the meal, accompanied by a detailed breakdown of the expenses.
The post quickly went viral, attracting a flood of comments from Nigerians who were left baffled by the high cost of what is typically considered an affordable meal.
Social media users flooded the comment section to express their thoughts, with many jokingly questioning whether the garri was imported or contained gold flakes.
