Singer Teniola Apata, aka Teni, was in a gleeful mood as she shared why she could not take the advice of getting a bodyguard in the United Kingdom.
Teni expressed her reliance on her faith in God rather than hiring an expensive bouncer during her stay in the UK.
The singer on Tuesday took to her Instagram page to share her reasons for opting out of the pricey security service.
She revealed that hiring a bouncer would cost her £500 per day, approximately ₦1 million using the conversion rate of ₦2,090 per pound.
“Bouncer wey I wan collect wey dem tell me say na £500 per day. You know how much be £500?” Teni said before calculating the hefty amount.
The singer remarked that if she gave that amount to one of her aunties, the woman would become her personal soldier.
Teni emphasised that she didn’t see herself as a high-risk individual like Osama Bin Laden, warranting such expensive protection. She said in Pidgin English:
Teni further declared her faith, stating that the Lord is her shepherd and she believes God will protect her wherever she goes. She added:
Teni on Monday said that on arriving in the UK, she was warned that her luxury necklace could be stolen and that there were stabbers around town.
This led her fans to advise her to get a bouncer, prompting her to share the cost involved and her reasons for declining.
Several fans of the singer have shared their take on the video. See video and some of the comments below:
