Same things happened to me but we the connection I got with APC they refund me asap

Can you help out with this situation she’s in?

Hi everyone, I need urgent advice regarding a terrible situation my friend is currently facing with a rogue real estate agent in Lagos. It involves an agency called Smart Design Home and Property Services Ltd operating around the Ojodu Berger/Omole axis.

Here is the exact timeline of what happened:

The Payment: Last week, my friend paid a total of N2.3 Million for an apartment. The breakdown given by the agent was: N1.5M (Rent), N350k (Agency Fee), N150k (Service Charge), N150k (Damages), and N150k (Legal Agreement/Agreement Fee).

The Status: After making the final installment payment, she was never given the keys, she never moved a single box in, and she never read or signed any tenancy agreement. Legally, the tenancy has not even started.

The Cancellation: Exactly one week after her first deposit, due to unforeseen personal reasons, she informed the agent she was no longer interested and requested a refund.

The Agreement: The agent initially agreed via text message to withhold N300,000 (N150k for the legal fee and N150k from the agency fee as a cancellation penalty) and promised to refund N2,000,000. My friend reluctantly agreed just to get her money back and cut her losses.

The Drama & Complication: When she asked for the lawyer's phone number to see if she could negotiate a part of the N150k legal fee back (since no document was ever signed), the agent flew into a rage. He started shouting, making a scene, and raining heavy insults and curses on her.

The Current Situation: The agent has now completely backed out of his word. He is refusing to give the lawyer's contact details, and he sent a text saying he is now withholding the entire N350k agency fee plus the N150k legal fee, meaning she will lose N500,000 completely! He told her to "do her worst" and that he will only refund N1,800,000.

Meanwhile, the landlord called her personal agent using a private number because the agent went to lie to him that my friend was the one abusing him. The landlord wants to settle it but we have no way to call him back, and the agent's office is far from the house. We have full voice recordings of the agent's insults and screenshots of his texts agreeing to the N2 Million refund.
I am taking this matter to the Citizens' Mediation Centre (CMC) in Ikeja tomorrow morning to file a formal petition against both the agent and the landlord's property address.

My questions for the house:
1.Has anyone experienced this kind of issue with Lagos agents before?
2.Can she recover the full N2,150,000 (including the legal fee since no contract was ever signed)?
3.How effective is the CMC in recovering funds from stubborn agents like this?

Please share your thoughts and experiences. Thanks!

Hi everyone,
I just got my IELTS results:

Listening: 8.0
Reading: 8.0
Speaking: 8.5
Writing: 6.5
Overall band score : 8.0
I took the paper version of the test. If I request a remark, is it possible for my Writing score to go up to at least 7.0?

Could anyone please let me know how long it takes to receive feedback after requesting a remark and the cost involved?

I’m feeling a bit down about this, so any advice would be really appreciated!

Did you end up requesting a remark?

Omo I love this comment, na to find my stunt double 😂😂😂😂😂😂

They have great rates, very cheap withdrawal fees and 99% of the time, transactions goes smooth but I make sure to convert and withdraw all my funds immediately it drops and I try not to process big transactions with their virtual card…

that was what one of my ex said just because she was older than me with 5 years now I'm married she is still single all her age mates and people older than her they all broke her heart and I'm here now happy with my family she does chat me up the only thing she keor saying is that i realised age is just a number but it was too late

How can I get in touch with your asap, I need to confide in you regarding this.

Hey @graceglory! Just wanted to drop by and give a shoutout for hooking me up with the awesome 55-inch Samsung Neo QLED TV! 📺 It's my third purchase from you, and each time it's been nothing short of perfect, just like brand new. Really happy with it and definitely looking forward to grabbing more gear from you in the future. 100% recommend! 👍

Go back to the shop and tell her you want to balance the payment that you already informed d kid you’ll come back.

This over liberalization they're practicing in the western world will end up causing more problems later...

The only thing remaining now is for them to start giving people permission to get married to animals

Or make sleeping with underage kids legal…

She’s a member of the LGBTQ community, na dem be first class citizens now for US so dem no fit do am anything…if dem sack am it’ll only end up being worse for the university because the leftist group/media will twist the whole narrative to something else…

Don’t worry if we have Atiku as president then we will all be wishing to have Buhari back, that’s to show you how this man will be 10x worse than buhari. There is a reason why this coming election is a do or die one, we have to make the right choice or else we are doomed. Atleast vote labor party or any other party apart from apc or pdp, it’s better to know you made the right choice than voting the parties that has cost us misery, don’t mind anyone saying it’s not possible for labor or other parties to win and it’s a waste of vote, that’s one of their many tactics to brainwash us. Abeg 8 years na long time

Their population is exploding in Lagos day by day, if you have a little quarrel with one like this, the rest will gang up on you and what’s worse is if you don’t understand their language you’ll have no idea the version of the story d aboki is telling his colleagues.

This current administration has opened a pandora box of things unheard of before in this country, there’s something really fishy about this current govt that even after they leave office, the whole country will still bear that deep scar they’ve inflicted on us for a really long time…

Another rubbish.

I remember using my hard earned money to buy AY's 30 days in Atlanta movie in 2015.

Omoh,since that day, I swore never to follow the hype of any Nollywold movie again.

Although I still fell for Genevieve's Lion heart sha, the whole Netflix hype made me buy the blueray DVD, only to discover that these guys haven't changed.

If AY like, make e go act film for Mars, Na the same Nollywood content...

Omo that lion heart was so hyped that after watching the movie I was like wtf

Where are those saying Wizkid has more money than Davido?

Where are those saying Davido is broke?

Davido is old money.

Even though Davido was broke, he wouldn't let the likes of Nengi, Dorathy and Ikorudu boys donate money for him to feed.

Now those peasants who were waiting for Davido to "eat their money" will have nothing to say about him.

He's donated everything (200 million naira) + his 50 million for charity.

May God bless David Adeleke and forgive people with Bad Belle.

Well said

Hi Bayobee
I’d like to connect with you if you don’t mind

Sure! Here is my WhatsApp number 08136873941

What you don’t know doesn’t kill, if we wan reason am as e be that means every youth for the country has been used because 99% of our youths has slept with different guys & ladies at various point in their lives that they can’t even remember. If he didn’t tell her she won’t feel this way, Infact she’ll still be doing her normal package. If she go dey overthink na then her destiny go truly destroy because she won’t want do anything positive with her life anymore. I’ve seen people that were taught to have been cursed or used by their exes who ended up doing well, building a family and also traveling out of the country for a better life. Better she live her life and work hard(smart), Person wey never make am yet wey dey shout say dem use him destiny lmao, the ones wey dem never use their destiny where dem dey now...

Na them dey always start fights, some are more racists than anything especially to people who don’t identify with them, during the protest at Netflix when other protesters came to support Dave, they manhandled the Dave supporters and were even yelling they have a weapon, I’ve watched tons of videos where they’ll call cops on innocent people, they’re always playing the victims just like that empire actor jussie smollet, faking his attacks, dem plenty like that for US, dem don plenty for media & entertainment now sef na why dem dey get supports. They’re trying to cancel Dave and if Netflix bends to their will I’ll be really pissed off because everyone go dey fear to talk now because of some minorities that can’t take a joke and always consider every word against theirs as hate speech, there are trans comedians that have used straight people, religious and black jokes, no one came after them. After watching “the Closer” show I didn’t hate them Infact I got to understand them more but some crazy ones amongst them are the one making them look bad to the world.

My own fear is ....me wey day travel soon...do one ask a babe is she's a trans without sounding abusive make person no go nack him fellow guy wey transform

Better ask o because you might just be surprised at the end. I’ve seen a trans surgery video where they cut off a mans penis plus balls and turned that space to a vagina. I fear white people chai, now they’re even adding breast too. Soon some groups will come out and say they want to legalize marrying their pets
