“They Said It Is N1.1m Rent”: Young Lady Shares Video of Small House in Lagos Agent Took Her To

  • A Nigerian lady, Anagu Nkemjika, made a detailed video of a house going for N1.1m basic yearly rent in Lagos state
  • According to the lady, the total payment for the house could be over N2m for a tenant that is just moving in
  • The video stirred massive mixed reactions on social media as people said that there are other places in Lagos with cheaper rents

A young Nigerian lady, Anagu Nkemjika, with the TikTok handle @kem__ji has gone online to show people the house an agent told her to come and pay N1.1 million rent for in Lagos state.

The apartment is barely big enough for a person. The kitchen is so small-sized that not all kinds of body types can stay comfortably in it.
