A Nigerian dude’s take on real estate has sparked a hot debate online. Known to stir the pot, he put forward the idea that hotel living trumps paying rent. He backed up his claim on his social media account (@official_gegeh) by sharing his own experience of shelling out over N20,000 a night at different hotels around Nigeria.
He claims that staying in a hotel gets rid of the trouble of paying rent and has the benefit of steady electricity. He says this saves a lot of money compared to running a generator in a rented flat. His point suggests that the ease and non-stop power hotels provide make them a better choice than regular renting.
But many Nigerians disagree with his view. People who watched his video said his idea wasn’t practical and could mislead others. Critics say his position shows he doesn’t get the bigger picture or the money side of both choices. They pointed out that while hotels might seem cheaper at first most people can’t afford to live in them for a long time.
One argument against him was that paying N200,000 a year for a simple flat could save more money than staying in hotels. Critics also said he was just trying to get attention instead of giving helpful advice that people could use.
The discussion sheds light on the tricky nature of housing decisions and the different views on what makes for a sensible living setup in Nigeria.
