A Nigerian man, Pablo Richie (@olayinka.brain), has reacted to an accusation levied against him by a TikTok user, @Adelicious101, who claimed he ran away and abandoned her with a bill of N69k on their first date. Indeed, some hours earlier, the lady took to her page and called him out, stating that Pablo vanished during the outing and left her to pay the entire bill.
In a video that surfaced on TikTok, Pablo said in Yoruba, “Well, we met online, as she said, but the way she told it made me sound like a bad guy. It was not like that.” He then proceeded to give his account of events, saying he earlier gave her N10k for transportation fare ahead of the date and that nobody informed him she would come with a friend.
The lady and her companion went on to order items that were over N50k while he and his friends ordered moderately, spending far less, Pablo posited. He had asked how she expected him to pay such an extravagant bill, especially when her orders were far in excess of his and his friends’.
Pablo’s account contradicts that of @Adelicious101 and places more blame on miscommunication and a difference in expectations. He iterated how he did not try to dodge responsibility but was taken aback by a bill way out of his expectations.
The video has since elicited varied opinions across social media as many argue over who was right in this very uncomfortable situation.
