Lady living in PH advises house hunters
Her advice focused on daily living realities rather than the usual concerns that dominate house-hunting conversations in the city.
Identified as @favour Richman on TikTok, the lady openly recounted her personal experience and regrets.
She explained that many prospective tenants tended to prioritise basic amenities such as steady electricity, water supply and the general appearance of a compound.
According to her, those factors alone did not guarantee comfort once a person settled into a new house.
Speaking about her experience, she disclosed that the house itself was suitable and the compound was orderly.

However, she complained that the surrounding residents created an entirely different experience, one that she found difficult to cope with on a daily basis.
She went on to explain that frequent loud conversations and arguments from nearby neighbours disrupted her peace, particularly in the mornings.
The noise, she said, came from heated discussions and constant shouting over various topics that she considered trivial.
In her words:
"Please be careful where you choose to stay in Port Harcourt. Ask questions o. Take your time. Leave pressure and ask. Don't just check for light and environment. Check for the neighbors that stay in the environment because the people that stay around my close are mad people. My house is comfortable, the compound is clean but the people around hmm. In the morning, these people are talking and shouting at the top of their voices. Arguing about Davido, Burna Boy, VDM and meaningless things. If you're staying in Port Harcourt, check for your neighbours around your area. I did not check. I am so much in regret. Because tell me why these men will be making noise everytime?"
