In a video now circulating online, Speed Darlington explained that he had chosen to drive himself to the airport instead of paying for a taxi, thinking it would be cheaper and more convenient for his short trip.
He said he expected the parking charges to be around ₦50,000 or ₦70,000, but was shocked when officials demanded over ₦200,000.
Visibly upset, he criticised the rising cost of living in Nigeria and directed his anger at President Bola Tinubu.
The entertainer compared the charges to what he believed similar services might cost in Europe, questioning why Nigerians were being forced to pay such steep fees locally.
“E no go better for Tinubu. Unexpected expense. E pain me die. I don tire to pay for taxi to airport, I say make I carry my motor come airport. Pata pata I’m travelling for 4 days, when I come back it’d either 70k or 50k. They just collected N203,500 from me for parking for 4 days bro. E no go better for Tinubu. Nigeria is now very expensive. They took my food money from me. E shock me I stand there, stand there I no know wetin I wan do. I'm in pains. Nigeria is hell fire. 50k a night, are we in Europe?” he lamented.
Akpi's comments have sparked debate online, with some sympathising with his situation while others questioned his decision to park his vehicle there without checking prices.
