Paying rent vs Hotel bills

The man (@official_gegeh) paid over N20k per night for the hotel he lodged in and said he had done the same thing in different states in Nigeria.

Many people who watched his video argued that he just wanted to trend and should not have given such careless advice.

When he added that running a generator in a rented apartment is expensive compared to staying in a hotel with a full power supply, a person countered him with a-N200k-yearly rent option.
