On the day she (@dah_blaq) was going to start preparing the apartment for occupation, she found out that the former owner had removed her wall design, denting the walls of the house.
This development disturbed her as she did not have a budget for wall painting. Her landlord said she would have to bear the costs of fixing the walls.

A painter she had once referred for a job did the job pro bono and fixed the walls. She painted a part of the wall green to blend with the colour of her bed.
Many people who reacted to her video wondered where a student would see N1.6m to splurge on a rented apartment in Lagos.
