A Nigerian man caused a dramatic scene at Jendol Supermarket after being asked to pay an additional ₦30 for a nylon bag following his purchase of goods worth ₦11,800.
The incident, which was captured in a viral video and shared on TikTok, shows the man visibly frustrated as he expresses his anger over the additional charge. In the footage, he can be heard shouting and vowing to prove his worth to the supermarket staff, indicating that he found the extra charge unreasonable.
“I bought something worth ₦11,800, and they’re telling me to pay for nylon. Inside Jendol! You don’t know who just walked in here,” he ranted, making it clear that he felt disrespected by the supermarket’s policy.
The man’s outrage continued as he questioned why a customer who had spent such an amount should still be asked to pay extra for a bag. His reaction quickly gained attention online, leading to various opinions from netizens who either supported his frustration or defended the supermarket’s policy.
Many social media users noted that supermarkets and major stores in Lagos have recently started charging for plastic bags due to government regulations aimed at reducing plastic waste. Some explained that the store had even placed a notice at its entrance informing customers about the policy, while others insisted that it was a common practice worldwide and not unique to Jendol Supermarket.
As the video continued circulating online, people flooded the comment section to express their opinions, debating whether the man’s outrage was justified or unnecessary.
See some reactions below:
MumsyAriana: “Oga, you buy the nylon Abbi you no go buy?”
Snazzy: “Nylon for Asda in the UK is £0.35, which is about ₦735. Even if you buy something worth just £0.1, you still have to pay for a nylon bag. I don’t support you in this, bro.”
mimi_gurl: “It’s normal now. The government canceled the use of nylons. Even ShopRite does it. It’s not their fault.”
NAILS AND MAKEUP IN EGBEDA: “There’s a notice at their entrance that says the government banned nylons, so they expect you to buy a reusable bag and bring it whenever you come to shop. And they even made it as cheap as possible. Their nylon costs around ₦30-50.”
DAN 💥 STAR 😈😈: “Make una allow another person buy market jor. ₦30 no reach anything compared to what you buy 😁.”
Valar Morghulis: “Lol, buy nylon or don’t buy, why are you tripping over an item that’s less than a dollar?”
Omoz ✌️🥰: “Na the new law from Lagos State be that, oga. Nothing to share. Use your hand pack your goods or leave them and go home hungry.”
Vicky💕: “Jendol Na APC member now 🤣🤣🤣. What do you expect? 🤣”
Titilayo famuyiwa: “I think this is his first time going to a mart this year 😁😁😁. Wetin we do government wey dem dey impose policies? Abeg, commot VAT self before you pay.”
MsT Collections: “It’s not only Jendol; other supermarkets do the same.”
MC OROBO1: “Na the latest trend in Lagos now. One supermarket in Ikeja G.R.A. dey do the same.”
The incident has sparked a larger debate on social media about whether supermarkets should charge for plastic bags or if it should be an included service for customers. While some argued that charging for nylons is an unfair additional expense, others pointed out that it is an environmentally friendly policy that is already practiced in many developed countries.
