…….you wrote on the ticket that the table would come with premium drinks
A nigerian lady has dragged Ali Baba online, over alleged poor treatment after paying N1m for a table for 10.
Nigerian comedian Atunyota Akpobome, popularly known as Ali Baba, has been dragged online by a Nigerian lady who attended his just concluded January 1st comedy show at Eko Hotel, Lagos State, after allegedly receiving poor treatment despite paying a premium fee.
According to the lady in viral video, she paid the sum of ₦1 million for a table of 10, expecting the benefits clearly stated on the ticket. However, she claimed that what was provided fell far below what was promised.
In a video shared online, the visibly angry attendee described the show as a “scam” revealing that her table was given only two bottles of water and two packs of juice to share among ten people.
She stated that the ticket explicitly promised several complimentary items, including the following:
One bottle of Hennessy.
One bottle of champagne.
One bottle of wine.
A full case of water (12 bottles).
A full case of soft drinks.
Small chops for everyone at the table.
None of these, according to her, were delivered.
Expressing her frustration, the lady said she had been eagerly anticipating the show and expected value for her money. Instead, she was shocked to learn from a waitress that they would have to buy drinks themselves, despite what was advertised.
She questioned why organisers would list benefits on the ticket if they had no intention of fulfilling them, adding that she would have preferred a straightforward ticket stating that the ₦1 million fee was strictly for seating, with no complimentary items.
The lady also alleged that most tables at the event were similarly affected, claiming that many guests received nothing despite paying huge sums.
“This is not how you treat guests,” she said angrily, insisting she would never attend the show again. She further stated that if the event had taken place in the US, she would have pursued a refund legally.
Her outburst has since sparked widespread reactions online, with many Nigerians debating the event’s organisation and standards, consumer rights, and accountability at such a high profile entertainment show.
