Her Lekki experience

Shedding light on what informed her decision, Chantel said she never had clean water in Lekki and relied on sachet water to do her laundry, bath and other things.

"...18 months of living in this house and I didn't see clean water for one day. In the entire 18 months, I was buying pure water every single week to wash, to take my bath, to cook, to clean. It just becomes so ridiculous.
"So, it is actually time to move out..." she said.

Lady regrets moving to Lagos Island

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a lady had said her biggest regret was pushing her husband to move them to Lagos Island.

She said her husband made huge money from a contract which turned their fortune around and he gave in to her pressure to move their family to Lekki Phase 1.

A month after they relocated, she said her once-happy-marriage went bad as her husband began clubbing, keeping late nights and even putting a password on his phone, unlike him.
