"Lagos Agent Wahala" – Why You Need a Smarter Way to House-Hunt

House-hunting in Lagos is like an Olympic sport—except there's no gold medal, just stress, hidden fees, and plenty of “agent wahala.”

Meet Chinedu, a young professional ready to find his first apartment. He had a budget, a checklist, and high hopes. What he didn’t have? The Lagos Street Sense needed to survive house agents.

The Problem

Chinedu’s expectations were simple: ?? A clean, secure apartment ?? Within budget ?? No unnecessary drama

But he forgot one crucial thing—Lagos house agents have a different agenda.

The Journey (or Rather, the Struggle)

1. The “Inspection Fee” Scam

Agent Daniel asked for a non-refundable ?10,000 “inspection fee” just to show Chinedu a house.

The house? A self-contained room with a leaking roof, no windows, and a landlord who "doesn’t like tenants that cook.”

2. The Apartment That Only Exists Online

Miss Funke sent sleek pictures of a 2-bedroom apartment in Lekki. Luxury at its finest!

On arrival, Chinedu found an uncompleted building occupied by goats and construction workers.

"Sorry o, the one in the picture was just for reference," Funke said with a straight face.

3. The "Ghost Landlord" Tactic

Agent Seyi finally found Chinedu a decent apartment. Everything was set—until the mysterious “Landlord” became unreachable.

"Ah, maybe he traveled. You fit just pay first."

At this point, Chinedu had enough.
