Nigerian singer Teniola Apata, popularly known as Teni, has revealed her decision to rely on her faith in God rather than hiring an expensive bouncer during her stay in the UK. On Tuesday, Teni shared her reasons on her Instagram page, highlighting the high cost of hiring security.

According to Teni, employing a bouncer would cost her £500 per day, approximately ₦1 million, based on the conversion rate of ₦2,090 per pound. She emphasized her trust in God’s protection over spending a significant amount on personal security.

“Bouncer wey I wan collect wey dem tell me say na £500 per day. You know how much be £500?” Teni said before calculating the hefty amount.

The singer remarked that if she gave that amount to one of her aunties, the woman would become her soldier.

She emphasised that she didn’t see herself as high-risk like Osama Bin Laden, warranting such expensive protection.

“Which kian work you dey do wey you wan dey bouncer me for ₦1 million a day? How many days you think sey I wan spend for here?

“If I give my Aunty that money gan, Aunty Kehinde. Aunty Kehinde go turn army. Shey na me be Osama Bin Laden wey dem dey find?” She said in Pidgin English.

Teni further declared her faith, stating that the Lord is her shepherd and she believes God will protect her wherever she goes.

“The Lord is my shepherd, God don tell me sey na him be my shepherd. No shepherd fit shepherd me pass God. Make una no worry,” she said.

Teni on Monday said that on arriving in the UK, she was warned that her luxury necklace could be stolen and that there were stabbers around town.

This led her fans to advise her to get a bouncer, prompting her to share the cost involved and her reasons for declining.
