Senator Adams Oshiomhole sparks outrage as a viral video shows him giving a foot massage to a woman on a private jet, following his controversial comment that “food is now too cheap in Nigeria.”
A viral video showing Edo Senator Adams Oshiomhole giving a foot massage to a woman on a private jet has drawn widespread criticism online. The clip surfaced shortly after the senator sparked outrage with remarks claiming that food in Nigeria has become “too cheap.”
In the video, Oshiomhole appears relaxed, attending to the woman’s feet while aboard a private jet, prompting social media users to question his judgment and priorities as a public official. Many criticized the senator for displaying wealth and indulgence at a time when ordinary Nigerians face economic hardship.
The incident comes amid growing scrutiny of Nigerian politicians’ lifestyles and disconnect from the daily realities of citizens. Oshiomhole’s earlier statement about cheap food added fuel to the fire, with many users describing the remarks as out of touch and insensitive.
Reactions online ranged from disbelief to anger, with several trending hashtags criticizing the senator and questioning the ethics of such behavior while holding public office. Some commentators also highlighted the optics of the private jet and the foot massage as symbols of elitism.
