A man in Lagos has shared his strange experience while searching for a house in the city, saying he almost rented what he believed was a haunted apartment.
The man shared his story on social media, describing the stress and frustration he faced while inspecting different houses across Lagos. According to him, the first estate he visited looked fine at first, but the surroundings were a major concern.
“The house was fine, the rooms were okay, everywhere was cool, but everywhere was flooded with water. I complained to myself and said I can’t live here,” he said.

He said the second house was not much better.
“The house was fine, the compound was good, the rooms were okay, but the road to the house was bad. Water everywhere. I said, ‘Man, I can’t deal with this,’” he added.
The man, identified as @jorjizglam on TikTok, said he later moved around the mainland with an agent, visiting several locations.
“I walked waka that day — Yaba, Oshomole, even Ikotun. I was tired,” he said.
He also claimed that he had to dress a certain way because of what he described as ethnic preferences by some landlords.
“I noticed that some Yoruba landlords always prefer Yoruba tenants,” he said, adding that it made his house-hunting experience more difficult.
According to him, some of the houses he saw were in poor condition despite high rent demands of between ₦2 million and ₦3 million per year. His search continued amid growing frustration.

Which kind of person go agree give person this kind house make he live. Even if ma mad person bin live here before because what is all this? Is this not a haunted house? Because it's like the previous tenant ran away.”
