According to her, the refrigerator she chose cost N420,000.

She said:

"The next thing obviously has to be gas and fridge. After confirming the measurement of my gas [space], I went to Fouani, of course. I had two fridges in mind. I liked this one, but the color was kind of like putting me off and it was small, and I had to go for a bigger size. So I later went for this, and the price difference was like 100k. This one I got cost me 420k."
