Abia Radio News<\/strong> reports that she recounted how she went out for lunch with a friend but decided to order only green tea since she was not hungry.<\/p>\nThe tea was served in a pot with a large cup, and she enjoyed it without checking the price until the bill was brought to her table.<\/p>\n
According to a video on her Instagram page, she was taken aback to see \u20a610,000 listed for the drink, which she said was nothing more than hot water with two tea bags.<\/p>\n
Though shocked, she admitted she had to pay since she had already consumed it.<\/p>\n
Zainab joked that she regretted not taking pictures at the restaurant to make the experience feel worth the amount spent.<\/p>\n
The TV host added that the incident has taught her to be more careful about eating out, saying she would rather make her tea at home next time.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cMy mouth dropped so much I was hoping the people sitting next to me didn\u2019t see that flies were catching my mouth.<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cWhat do you mean you boiled water, put two tea bags, and it was \u20a610,000?<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cI obviously could not argue with them because I drank their tea. There\u2019s no way to give it back. I had to pay.<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cI should have joined another lady doing a photo shoot. You must use your money and the space well.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\u201cBut I didn\u2019t,\u00a0 and that\u2019s how I paid \u20a610,000 for tea in Lagos. There\u2019s tea at home. This will not happen again.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n
