Lagos Tenant Buys Building Materials to Renovate Landlord's House, Nigerians Ask Questions

• A Nigerian lady made some renovations to her rented apartment after she noticed how uneven the walls were
• Among the things she got were a bag of cement and POP paint as she employed a labourer to screed the walls
• Many TikTokers who watched her video wondered why she invested so much into another person's house

A Nigerian lady who got an apartment after having house-hunted for some time shared the state of the place.

She noticed that most of the walls had holes that insects could hide in, and the house was not very presentable.

Screeding wall materials

To make the house befitting for her, she (@zika_ing) got some building materials like a bag of cement, a bucket of POP paint, and a 2kg top bond.

The lady said her friend suggested screeding the walls to make the house better. There were molds in some parts of the house.

She had to get more materials, like one more bucket of POP paint and a half bag of cement. She stated that the walls look more even after screeding was done.

Making smooth walls

The lady added that she did not regret carrying out the fixes, as the screeding left her walls smooth, making the application of paint easier.

While the labourer she employed worked, the lady supervised him. She was happy the man did his job well on the day he was unsupervised.
