A new viral video has sparked a wave of mixed reactions as it showcases a lady performing an unusual ritual on a rented yacht in Lagos Island. The video, which was part of an interview hosted by popular content creator Egungun of Lagos, has quickly caught the attention of social media users, stirring conversations and debates.
In the footage making rounds online, the woman is seen offering $400 (equivalent to approximately N670,000 in Nigerian currency) as part of her ritual to appease the gods. This act alone caught the interest of viewers, but what followed next raised even more eyebrows. She continued the ritual by pouring Fanta and Champagne, stating that these offerings were her way of showing gratitude to the gods for their support and blessings in her life.
During the interview, the lady, who claims to own a house in Atlanta, USA, flaunted her luxurious lifestyle and expensive possessions. She boasted that the wristwatch she wore on her left hand is valued at $30,000, while the one on her right hand is worth $15,000. Additionally, she mentioned that her Chanel bag costs $15,000, and the hair she was wearing is worth $2,000.
The lady emphasized that her extravagant offerings are a way to honor the gods, whom she believes have played a significant role in her personal and financial success. She explained that spraying $400 and using luxury items like Fanta and Champagne as offerings was her way of acknowledging the spiritual support she has received.
While she expressed pride in her actions, the video has generated intense criticism from viewers. Many people have condemned her lavish display of wealth, arguing that it is inappropriate given the current economic situation in Nigeria, where many citizens are struggling to make ends meet. Critics questioned the rationale behind spending such a large amount of money on rituals when the funds could have been used to support those in need or contribute to more meaningful causes.
Others, however, defended her, stating that she has the right to spend her money as she pleases and that people should not judge her choices. They argued that everyone has their unique ways of giving back or showing appreciation, and as long as she is not harming anyone, it’s her decision to make.
In the interview, the lady went on to express her love for Nigeria, mentioning that she enjoys the country because she can use her wealth to gain access and influence. She stressed that having money can open many doors in Nigeria, allowing people to do things that would otherwise be impossible.
The video has not only sparked debates about the appropriateness of such displays of wealth but has also brought attention to the complex issue of how wealth is perceived and used in the country. Some have highlighted that it showcases the gap between the rich and the poor, while others see it as an example of misplaced priorities.
As the video continues to trend, the lady’s actions remain a hot topic of conversation, with opinions split between those who view her ritual as wasteful and insensitive and those who see it as a personal expression of gratitude and spirituality.

“Person no just calm down begin thruway almost 700k inside water… The clueless one might call her poolish… e dey work for her and she knows how rooted she is, that’s why she does what she’s doing…”
Νικολας Τονι:
“Stop all this nonsense! Go and use that money to feed poor people in your village. You’re feeding water.”
Malox Man:
“That money will be giveaways to someone who is either a fisherman or someone swimming in the river. Life sometimes is funny, and blessings happen in some funny ways. Somehow a foolish person loses something because he/she doesn’t value it, and someone that God wants to bless sees it. Isn’t that a miracle-working God?”
Chandy Lilian Azubuike:
“Why she no go Ogidi or Urasi to appease her gods? Na for inside Lagos Island water she wan do the appeasement. Make she dey play, those fishermen’s God don butter bread for them.”
