Nigerian musician and internet personality Darlington Okoye, famously known as Speed Darlington, has voiced his deep frustration after being hit with an unexpected ₦203,500 bill for parking his car at a local airport for just four days.
In a video that has fast gone viral online, Speed Darlington explained that he had opted to drive his own vehicle to the terminal rather than hiring a taxi, assuming it would be a smoother, more convenient arrangement for his brief travel schedule.
However, his return was met with absolute shock when airport authorities handed him the massive invoice for the four-day duration.
Visibly agitated by the situation, the entertainer used the opportunity to lament the broader economic hardships and the skyrocketing cost of living currently plaguing Nigeria.
He said: “E no go better for Tinubu. Unexpected expense. E pain me die. I don tire to pay for taxi to airport, I say make I carry my motor come airport. Pata pata I’m traveling for 4 days, when I come back it’d either 70k or 50k.
He continued: “They just collected N203,500 from me for parking for 4 days bro. E no go better for Tinubu. Nigeria is now very expensive. They took my food money from me”.
He added: “E shock me I stand there, stand there I no know wetin I wan do. Nigeria is hell fire. 50k a night, are we in Europe?”
