A Nigerian woman, Adeife Adeoye, has generated a massive buzz on social media after posting a video of her house-hunting experience in Lagos.
Following a quit notice from her former landlord who sold off his property, Adeife and her companion, Lawrence, set out to inspect apartments in the choice Magodo phase 2 area.

However, the condition of the first house they visited left her completely disappointed.
Woman rejects expensive apartment
In the viral TikTok video posted by @adeifeadeoye, she showed the interior of a three-bedroom apartment that carried an expensive annual rent of N6.5 million.
Despite the steep price tag, the ceiling of the house was covered in heavy blocks of dark mould from visible water damage.
While Lawrence jokingly tried to convince her that the house was fair for the price, Adeife completely disagreed. She noted that the kitchen was too small and the environmental defects made it entirely unlivable.
Adeife, in the TikTok video, stated:
"I really did not like it, it has mold. Lawrence loved it, please stop trying to say Lawrence loved it. Number one the house is 6.5 million Naira. The house has mold, the kitchen is not that big. I didn't like it."
The duo also inspected a second property—a cleaner three-bedroom duplex packaged at N8 million rent. While she liked the space, she lamented that hidden agency, legal, and caution fees jacked the total package up to N11.9 million.
She expressed total frustration at how Nigerian house agents inflate costs, making accommodation highly inaccessible for citizens.
