One user pointed out that Seyi Vodi had apparently swapped one glass for another, with the replacement being what some identified as a Bordeaux wine glass used for water, something that added fuel to the humour and criticism in the comments.

What Nigerians are saying about Seyi Vodi
The reactions ranged from sharp wit to genuine reflection. Here is what people had to say:
@big_bbgirl asked:
"Can't he pour his own water himself?"
@_wendypepperoni observed:
"He change it because he felt its too small to drink water both na still wine glass."
@9ja.of.lala joked:
"Make opeyemi no see this video ooo "
@queenfeesah reflected:
"Exposure is a thing truly."
@ceecee_official__ went in with full commentary:
"Local champions you can't pour water yourself oo, okay. You want to drink water with champagne flute your wereey assist serve you water with Bordeaux wine glass"
@eseurephu took a more instructive route:
"It pinches me to see people randomly holding glass by the head and body parts. Where mouth drinks from. Glasses one drinks from should be held by the foot part of glass Please."
@sheis_lade offered the most philosophical take of all:
"There is this spirit that takes over when you're rich. You can't identify it when you're poor. It's mostly in rich people's head. The spirit of 'afterall I'm the one paying your salary.' Ki Ori ma je ka shey eru aye."
