A Nigerian man has sparked reactions on social media after sharing a restaurant receipt showing that two boiled eggs were sold for ₦6,000.
In a post on X, the man expressed disbelief over the price, describing it as excessive and questioning how any restaurant branding could justify such a cost.
He wrote:
“No matter how rich I’m there’re things I can never buy.
“You can’t expect me to buy just 2 boiled eggs for 6k.
“This is totally annoying and shouldn’t be encouraged cuz it’s pure extortion. There’s no branding that can make this make sense to me.”
The post has since generated reactions from social media users, with some questioning the restaurant’s pricing while others pointed to the high cost of running businesses and dining in restaurants.
Rotexas: “I’ll calmly call them to remove it and add another goat meat and whatever that 7k meat is.”
Jodeofor: “Including plus that goat meat, na heaven them rear the goat? I no fit chop for there! Cooked egg wey them dey sell #250 na em I go pay 3k? Abeg pass my table I no chop.”
No_virgins_here: “I no wan talk about the egg sef…normally I dislike spaghetti…this holiday wey pass…na so I go buy for my niece the same 3k e pain me ehn…3k noodles wey go full pot nai I go go buy small spaghetti 3k…spag and noodles no be the same…but except I first ask if not 3k 4/1 egg.”
Nawam : “You will get used to it. That’s how bottled water is sold in most restaurants. When Eva bottled water sold for one hundred Naira, it cost two thousand five hundred Naira in most places. Nigerians know how to endure pain.”
Chief_priest: “If Chinese enter Nigeria, start to dey sell with better aesthetics and quality…, also lower and reasonable prices. They will start protesting that they are taking over their business.”
