A Nigerian traveler has stirred massive reactions online after revealing that he paid for all three seats at the back of a commercial bus just to enjoy uninterrupted comfort and privacy during a long road trip from Enugu to Lagos.
In a now-viral video shared by TikTok user @kelvin_teee on June 23, 2025, the man is seen sprawled luxuriously across the empty back row of the bus, using the entire space as a makeshift bed while documenting his unique travel hack. His caption? “My comfort is all that matters.”
The move quickly sparked a heated debate online after netizens pointed out that paying for three bus seats—typically costing ₦35,000–₦45,000 each—could nearly cover a flight ticket on certain airlines. But Kelvin was unbothered. “I love road trips. They’re more adventurous than flying,” he wrote in response to critics questioning his choice.
Some viewers accused him of bluffing, alleging the empty seats might simply have been unbooked or vacated. Others applauded his decision, saying comfort and peace of mind on Nigeria’s unpredictable highways were worth the price. “As I can’t afford a plane, I can afford this one,” one user joked.
While his unconventional method sparked class comparisons and discussions on transportation choices, many users admired his creativity and determination to make his road experience enjoyable—even if it came with a premium.
The conversation also reignited debates around Nigeria’s domestic transport system, with several social media users calling for improved rail and road transport alternatives that offer both affordability and comfort.
As of Tuesday morning, the video has gained tens of thousands of views and comments, turning a simple comfort choice into a viral lifestyle statement.
