“Oga, Your Plane Has Landed in Lagos!” – The Business of Luxury Delusions
Picture this: A Lagos big boy posts an Instagram story flexing on a ‘private jet’ to the Maldives, sipping champagne with a view of the clouds. But what if I told you he never left Nigeria? Not even Ikeja?
Welcome to the absurdly genius business of Jean-Pierre Leclerc—a man who has made millions selling fake luxury vacations to rich people who want the clout without the stress of actual travel. And the best part? They know it’s fake, and they don’t care.
This isn’t a Yahoo Boy operation—no one is being scammed here. In fact, wealthy clients pay thousands of dollars to be tricked into believing they went on an exotic getaway. Sounds crazy? Maybe. But when you consider how Nigerians already fake abroad trips for the ‘Gram, you’ll realize…

Nigerians Have Been Doing This for Free Since Forever
Before Jean-Pierre turned this into a profitable venture, Nigerians were already ahead of the game:
- Green-screen Japa: Why bother leaving Lagos when you can Photoshop yourself in front of the Eiffel Tower?
- Airport Run Ritual: Some people only go to Murtala Muhammed International Airport to take selfies with ‘Just Landed’ captions. Their next stop? Ikeja Under-Bridge.
- Lekki ‘Dubai’ Illusion: A well-lit hotel room, some strategically placed white bedsheets, and boom—you’re in ‘Bali.’ It’s all angles and filters, baby!
So what Jean-Pierre did was simply monetize an art form Nigerians have mastered for free.
How the ‘Fake Vacation’ Business Works
Jean-Pierre’s company, Cloud Nine Getaways, offers three vacation tiers:
1. The Bronze Package – ‘I’m a Luxury Babe’ Starter Pack
- Private jet arrival… that never leaves the ground. (Just an old plane at an abandoned airstrip.)
- Hotel room in Lekki, disguised as Santorini.
- Beachside ‘vacation’ photoshoots with palm trees and fake sand.
- A fake immigration stamp for ‘evidence.’
2. The Silver Package – Premium Instagram Flex
- AI-generated travel pics to make it look like you were skiing in Switzerland.
- A fake ‘welcome drink’ video at a 5-star Maldives resort.
- A driver who drops you at the airport but takes you back home instead.
- ‘Lost luggage’ story for added realism.
3. The Gold Package – For the Political Elite
- Your name in The Guardian as ‘Nigerian Businessman Spotted in Paris.’
- A staged ‘airport arrival’ video with fans greeting you.
- A private jet rental with a takeoff simulation but no flight.
- Fake diplomatic meetings photos with AI-generated foreign officials.
Now, the big question is: Would this work in Nigeria?
Would Nigerians Pay for This Madness?
Let’s break it down:

Why This Would Be a Hit in Naija:
✅ Clout Culture: If there’s one thing Nigerians love, it’s making their village people jealous. ✅ Soft Life Obsession: Some people just want to ‘travel’ without experiencing the stress of actual travel. ✅ Political ‘Diplomatic Trips’: If a senator can claim they’re in Geneva when they’re really in Abuja, this service is perfect.
✅ Babe Magnet: Let’s be real—some guys would pay for the ‘abroad experience’ just to look more attractive on dating apps.
Why This Might Flop in Naija:
❌ Sharp Nigerians Will Monetize It: Give it 24 hours and a guy in Alaba will be selling ‘Dubai Starter Packs’ for ₦5k.
❌ EFCC Will Show Interest: Rich people spending millions on fake trips? Sounds like ‘Where did you see this money?’ energy.
❌ Somebody Will Leak the Secret: Nigerians love oversharing. The moment one Lekki babe mistakenly posts the same ‘Santorini’ backdrop as her friend, wahala go burst.
How to Start a ‘Fake Travel’ Business in Nigeria (Because Why Not?)
If Jean-Pierre can make millions from this, why not us? Here’s how you can get started:
1️⃣ Find an Abandoned Airstrip: Old planes are just chilling at Murtala Muhammed Airport.
2️⃣ Get a Lekki Airbnb with White Walls: White walls = Santorini vibes.
3️⃣ Hire a Photographer: Someone skilled in angles, filters, and Photoshop.
4️⃣ Find an Influencer to Market It: Let a popular Instagram babe ‘take’ the first fake trip. Once people see it’s ‘working,’ you’re in business.
Final Thoughts: A Stupidly Brilliant Idea
Jean-Pierre cracked the code. He figured out that rich people don’t actually want vacations—they just want proof of vacations.
The real question is: If you had the chance, would you pay for a fake luxury trip? 👀 Be honest!
