A Twitter user with the handle @thezikora was taken to one of Nigeria's richest suburbs called Lekki for property viewing but was disappointed to see an apartment that was shown to him with the toilet and kitchen in the same enclosed area.
The shocking thing is that the property is being rented out for over 24,000 cedis (N1.3 million).
This may sound unbelievable but many have complained about dilapidated properties with exorbitant price tags in areas that are considered to be posh.
Below is a video of the apartment:
