One apartment, which she labelled 'by far the most terrible apartment I have gone to check,' showcased a property so unsuitable that she was left almost speechless.
"It's like they just removed a room from their apartment and want to rent it out," she says while inspecting one of the apartments in Lagos.
Her search was filled with similar letdowns. Another agent took her to a "self-contained" apartment in a neighborhood in Lagos that she deemed unsafe. She described it as "an area for area boys." Despite being newly renovated, she dismissed it due to the poor location and lack of a compound.
The properties she inspected were plagued by a range of issues, from being incredibly small to having serious structural problems like mold and water damage that were crudely covered up.

"It obviously has mold issues... and they just did patch-patch on the walls," she noted while at one apartment.
In a final frustrating twist, she was shown a spacious apartment that was, however, inaccessible by car.
"You have to park, cross a canal to get to this street," she explained.
According to her, the budget she has for an apartment ranges from N800,000 to N1 million.
