After the overseas clips surfaced online, some Nigerians questioned why many wealthy elites enjoy calm and organised environments abroad while citizens continue to complain about insecurity and infrastructure challenges back home.
An X user identified as @Nigeriangod_ challenged the billionaire directly.
“Nigeria does not even have an enabling environment like this for him to ride his bicycle freely… Mr Femi Otedola I dare you to try riding your bicycle around Ikoyi or VI without any security details.”
Not long after the comments, Otedola returned online with a fresh update.
In a video shared on Monday, May 25, the billionaire was seen riding his bicycle through Eko Atlantic City along the Lagos coastline.
The calm setting and open road quickly caught people’s attention.
Sharing the clip, he wrote:
“Enjoyed a sunny morning yesterday cycling along the Lagos coast line at Eko Atlantic City. Happiness is free 🚲 …F.Ote💲.”
