Adekunle Cries Out Over Poverty Outside Eko Hotel Lagos

Big Brother Naija star Adekunle Olopade has cried out over the rising poverty and hardship in Lagos State in a viral post today.

The Level Up finalist shared his heartbreaking experience outside Eko Hotel on his X account on October 16, 2026.

According to him, the reality TV star witnessed a disturbing scene where big men were partying inside the hotel while young able-bodied Nigerian youths were outside in the night chasing exotic cars to beg for handouts.

The former housemate who finished 4th in the Level Up season said the scene broke his heart and made him question the value of honest work in Nigeria.

“There is little to no gratification for honest work anymore and the only hope people now have is sycophancy, illegal dealings, or turning to social media to chase clout.”

From N3k To N35k: Adekunle Laments Fuel Price

Speaking further, the reality star who has lived in Lagos all his life lamented the cost of living crisis.

He revealed that fuel which he used to buy for less than N3,000 for 25 litres now costs N35,000 and he has to buy it twice a week to power his generator due to poor electricity supply.

“I Don Watch 4 Governors, But Nothing Change”

Adekunle said he has watched 4 different governors rule Lagos but the ideology remains the same and millions more Nigerians have been pushed into abject poverty.

Fans have reacted to his post on social media, with many agreeing that the hardship in Lagos has become too much.
