A Nigerian lady has taken to social media to share her shocking experience with a house agent while searching for an apartment in Ibadan, Oyo State.

According to her, she informed the agent that she was looking for a house within a budget of ₦700,000. However, the property she was shown left her visibly disappointed, as seen in the video.

In the clip, the lady can be heard confronting the agent, questioning whether he would personally live in such a place if given the option. In response, the agent said, “One man’s food is another man’s poison.” Clearly displeased, the lady fired back, asking if the house was his own “food or poison.”

The condition of the apartment, along with the exchange between both parties, has generated reactions online, with many Nigerians sharing similar experiences with house agents in Ibadan.

There have been increasing complaints about the rising cost of rent and the growing number of agents in the city. Some people noted that it now seems like almost everyone in Ibadan has become a house agent, while others shared stories of being shown poorly maintained apartments at high prices, often justified by claims of good location or steady electricity.

Watch the video and share your experience with house agents in Nigeria.

Some people will still go ahead to rent this house and renovate it for the landlord

You don't need to tell them how much you have. If you do, everything in their head is how to extort the whole money in a very dubious way. Just tell them the type of the house you want and if they tell you what's your budget? Tell them you don't have a budget but must be a standard house with an average price.

U expect someone to watch this nonsense when u are only speaking yoruba....do all Nigerians understand yoruba ??

This is a palace compared to the one I was taken to in Ologuneru.

He face the Landlady and said I told your husband to clear the grass here that I'm bringing someone today.

All the ceiling and kitchen cabinets had been destroyed by termites.

He face me and said if you pay today by weekend everything will be renovated.
🤣

brother, it is better as she communicate with yorubaooo, if not, all this agbado rooooonuss will full this page and be calling her igbo, that she should go back to biafra land and be constituting nuisance

The agent knew the house was nothing close the girl's taste but decided to collect inspection fee.

The issue of agent fee and unnecessary extortion needs to be discussed in the state and national Assembly.

She should go and live in with her boyfriend.

Did she not do the same when she was in Higher Institution?

That will even make her to cement her position.

Exactly, or give a ridiculously low budget, let them give you what they have on offer, you can then select.
My current 2b apartment is cheaper than a 1br around here and my house is by the road side, not even inside the street.
But when you give them one budget, they will give you a house of lesser price and tell you that's the one within your budget

Na wa! I was complaining that an agent increased a tenant's rent to 450k from 350k in Agodi area. It's a very spacious 3 bedroom apartment. Real eye opener.

700k house in Ibadan come be like torture room.

exanltly. That is what people don't really know about.. Once you type that amount you want to pay for the house, every Tom and Jerry will turn house agent, whereas the house they all take you to won't even be upto that amount. I can only name the area I want the apartment, once I see we can talk about the price. I almost beat an agent up in ilorin. He was to take me to check a house, I come with my mum car then to pick him up at the junction, he ask me to pack my car that he come with bikeman, I told him no I will drive behind. When we get to the house I wasn't satisfy with what I see, I promise to call him back only for him to tell me I most drop 5k for inspection. I almost use car jam the wey**y
