Those big men in the army ehn. I've known since. The guns that kidnappers get are from army men na. There is no patriotism in Nigeria again. The last General who brought out a fantastic plan to end terrorism on Nigeria's soil was killed in a mysterious plane crash. There are still good soldiers but the bad ones have choked them. Nigeria needs serious restructuring from top to bottom. Everywhere is polluted even the religious centers.
No be lie.

@Op, sorry for your ordeals.
Agents' excesses really need to be curtailed, most of them charge higher than the amount the house owner intend to give out his house, not to talk of agency fees and the intention to use their service fee. It's worrisome.
Recently, we paid about 335k for our daughter's accommodation in school, which would be renew with just 170k, just because of this wicked Agents of the devil.

Check the difference nah, 335k - 170,000 = :-D
Those Agents of Darkness are the reason the house rents are skyrocketing. undecided

I no mind if he add an as total package. It's not the money bro. I don't mind paying you the money. It's the idea of paying you money to go look at a house I may not like, it's just a weird concept. If I like the house and we sign lease I can give you 5k times 4 self. But I must sign lease first. Ontop of your ten percent I can dash you 20k. It's not the money. Am protecting myself from time wasters whose job is to collect 5k from 10 people everyday. That's how they eat. They have no property to show you

I think it's time for Local Government to begin regulating them.

In Enugu State, house agent charge as high as 40% as commision/agent fees.

[quote author=Sonnobax15 post=133852156][/quote]This is one of the reason why is better to relate with an Estate Surveyor and Valuer.
We studied Estate Management then put in for professional exam. After we passed the professional exam, we then write critical analysis based on the issues related to the profession. Which we had to defend during interview. Then the final stage is the induction as an ESV.... We are strictly guided by our regulatory body ESVARBON in all our dealings.

Na woman go always make this kin comment.
Through out the whole house hunting ordeal, you will never see where she assisted financially.
You people will not work for your money and give advice/support to yourselves. Always looking for some men who are finding their feet to attach to.
This is 2025, no more freeloading. Na only few men still dey like this OP.
Will you keep quiet?! Where do you people find these so called lazy and free loader women? There is no woman I know that sits home idle. I literally don't even know any idle woman that's not running one type of business or working. You wey wan marry, are u not supposed to have a decent flat to bring someone daughter into? Shuo! Dem dey marry enter 1 room before? If u as a man cannot rent at least room and parlor by yourself yet considering marriage... are u OK? Even if a woman will support you, show that you are worth supporting or don't you know men can be gold diggers too? You think we don't know about men that scam hard working women in the name of relationship?

Na the woman dey follow am Hussle?.... rubbish statement


Okay now that she pressured him to look for a house,a house he'll most definitely be paying 100% bills ,why she nor try to remove some of the stress from him body by doing the house hunting herself?.

She wants to move to a big house when she nor get 1kobo .Yet she cannot help in looking for the house ...this one na entitled,lazy,leech.

This one is not a wife ,na knife. If you marry that type of person,you nor marry GOOD THING, na slow poison you carry enter house. She go use stress finish you.
When u write statement like this and think u sound like some type of alpha male, not knowing you are just disgracing your mother at home. So your mother did not hustle with your father? Eiya... sorry. My mother hustled well with my Dad o and she lay good example for me and my siblings and we also hustle with our husbands. All of you boys that see nothing good in women, I really don't blame you. Bible talk am say If the foundation is bad, what shall the righteous do?

House/Land Agents in Nigeria are demons. Those guys reap for a living. It's all about the 3k visitation fees for them if they notice your desperation.

You need to stay rugged, give them specifications and let them know upfront you won't pay a single dime if they take you to any apartment that doesn't meet your predefined preferences.

BTW, why you dey call your fiancée Banny? Sounds disrespectful. Or maybe na me be old school cry
Sounds off.

Babe, girlfriend, my woman, my girl are better choices since he hasn't proposed to her.

Dey deceive yourself. Na for only broke guys even the broke guys go still spend because of woman eg the op. Untop the Keke he dey do he still need to impress his banny. Ordinary nanny o! Even though he was trying to sound like the childish Alpha male the main point is that he hunted for a house because of his banny

Men will continue to spend on women even whores.

Alpha male?, I never called myself that . But if having common sense makes me an alpha male then I accept....and you talk about foundation yet you couldn't make a point without trying to insult someone's mother. You dey quote bible upandan yet you're quick to insult others' parents.Woman like you go dey follow mother inlaw quarrel inside house since you nor get respect for elderly people. Person like you go pursue all your husband family members from where he dey.Between the both of us,it's clear who has a bad foundation.

Now ignoring your glaring lack of proper home training and facing the topic logically. The girlfriend in this case asked to move to a bigger house yet she dumbed all the responsibility on the guy. She couldn't help in looking for the bigger house she wanted. She just made the demand and let the man do all the work. The young man had to leave his Hussle to focus and on looking for a house to please his woman which left him burnt out in less than a week.

Common sense would have made you know that a reasonable woman would not make such a demand without making research of her own. A reasonable woman would have taken the time to help in looking for the house. Infact she,in some cases , would have had a house in mind before bringing up such topic in the house But since neither your nor the girlfriend in question can be termed 'reasonable' i don't expect you to understand.

Keep quite my friend... yen yen yen respect for mothers, the women and wives you people insult on this nairaland, are they not people's mothers? See long epistle because you cannot take what you dish out. If you live in glass houses, don't throw stones. Common sense your head! undecided

Berankis:
I believe your intensity to get a house made them treat you as such. You don't approach Agents (or Nigerians) with desperation written all over your face. When you do, their intention will automatically switch from rendering a service to ripping you off. To them, dem don see opportunity to chop this one.
Na how to collect the small kish wey dey ya hand them go dey look for.
The way we behave for this country they always make me vex. Me I don't wonder why Nigeria is bad because I know why but what I don't like is how Nigerians will try to pin it on someone's head somewhere while exonerating themselves of any wrong doing.
Na Nigerians go carry dirts from their house go throway for road or inside gutter.
Even you wey be Keke rider sef, you follow for the misbehaviour wey dey happen daily for this country. Keke Driver wey fit cause accident because of one passenger wey him wan carry/drop. Them no get Bus Stop, they stop at any point, they don't care about others or even their own safety sef.
I know the pepper wey una dey show car drivers for road but now you dey complain of agents. Shey you no think say the madness na general madness?
For this country to get better, we will all have to do better. It's very simple! With the way we all currently behave, Nigeria will keep going down and things will continue to get worse.
I just read now, that retired Army Generals are responsible for the ILLEGAL MINING going on in the country. Can you imagine that? And I want to believe that the ones still in service too go dey involved.
I know of a woman who is just a wife to an Army Officer who is not even a General. If you see the kind of lush edifice (eatery, event center, pharmacy etc) this woman built with like 4 to 5 gigantic buildings inside the premises, you will wonder if she was into hard drugs business or any other crime. Na now I know one of the sources of income for them
You've spoken perfectly well.
