Former Edo State governor and serving senator, Adams Oshiomhole, is once again at the center of online gossip—and Nigerians are not holding back.
A viral video making the rounds on social media shows Oshiomhole aboard a private jet, calmly giving a foot massage to a woman believed to be his wife or close companion. The relaxed and cozy moment quickly caught public attention, not because of the massage alone, but because of the timing.
The video surfaced shortly after Oshiomhole faced heavy backlash for his recent comment that “food is now too cheap in Nigeria.” That statement angered many Nigerians who are struggling daily with hunger and economic hardship.
As a result, social media users wasted no time to make use of the comment section to express their minds. Many Nigerians accused the senator of being out of touch with the reality of ordinary citizens. While people are battling to afford basic meals, the senator was seen flying in a private jet and enjoying a luxury lifestyle.
Online reactions have ranged from jokes and memes to serious criticism. Some users mocked the situation, saying the food may be “cheap” only for politicians who live in comfort. Others questioned how leaders who enjoy such luxury can truly understand the suffering of the people they represent.
Supporters of Oshiomhole, however, argued that the video showed a private moment and should not be used against him. They insisted that personal life should be separated from political statements.
Still, critics say public officials must be careful with their words, especially in a country where many citizens can barely afford three meals a day. To them, the video only added fuel to the anger already sparked by his comment.
For now, the video continues to trend, keeping Oshiomhole firmly in the gossip spotlight and reigniting conversations about leadership, privilege, and sensitivity to the struggles of everyday Nigerians.
