Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Victoria Adeyele, popularly known as Vee, has expressed her intention to take legal action against a plumber who deceived her and fraudulently obtained N150,000 from her for a N20,000 job.
Taking to her Twitter account on Wednesday, the reality star vented her frustration over the matter. According to Vee, when she discovered the plumber’s deception and raised her concerns, someone audaciously justified his actions by citing the country’s harsh economic conditions.
Vee said, “My plumber scammed me and collected 150k for a 20k job and one idiot is telling me it’s because ‘everyone is hungry.’
“He will eat in jail.”

She further disclosed that she had been an easy target for exploitation due to her background. Vee explained that growing up in a significantly different environment had led her to give people the benefit of the doubt, making her unsuspecting of such deceitful acts.
Expressing her disappointment, Vee criticized Nigerians who have normalized and accepted scams as a regular occurrence in society.
I live by myself. So I have zero knowledge of anything. I grew up in a completely different environment, so I tend to give people the benefit of doubt. So I never suspected anything. I hate how Nigerians have normalised this kind of behaviour.
