But it’s not always that simple. ‘Cheap’ apartments often come with serious issues poor water supply, bad infrastructure, or unsafe environments. That’s exactly why people complain, not just about price but about the standard of living.

Telling people to just move back to their parents doesn’t address the real issue. The discussion is about fair pricing and decent living conditions, not avoiding responsibility. Everyone deserves a reasonable place to live for what they pay.

Why are we hypocritical about economic issues? Prices of other commodities including petrol have quadrupled. Some of you are business men who have increased the price of their goods four folds in the last 3 years. But landlords have not increased their rents four folds like some of you, but you people want to crucify landlords. Is it by force to live in another person's house?

Madam, go and build your own house and give it out for free. You won't hold government responsible, it's a private person who invested his money that's your problem. Go and live under the bridge if you like.

A video currently trending online has sparked reactions after a Nigerian lady called out the high cost of rent in Lagos.

In the video, she talked about how some landlords build houses and describe them as “Lekki standard,” then go ahead to charge as high as ₦2.5 million per year.

She also pointed out something that got many people talking some landlords still place restrictions on tenants despite the high rent.

According to her, the big question is how many Nigerians earning normal salaries can afford such amount in today’s economy.

The issue of rising rent in areas like Lekki has been a growing concern, with many residents complaining about affordability.

Kaczynski:
People like you are the once who stayed in one room. In your life have you paid more down 150,000 for rent before

There are lotta cheap apartments some places, she just want to live in one where the water is being pumped and rent for cheap. She should go and move in back with her parents if she can't afford house rent.

But most of these houses are not new.

So what the hell are you on about?

I once met an agent who said the same thing you just posted, almost word for word. Funny thing is, he lived in a dirty face-me-I-face-you single room of 5k per month in Bariga. He said this when I complained about the substandard nature of the 2 bedroom flat he was showing me for 3.5m at Mende, Maryland.
Maybe you're even the one self.

but this isn’t just about a private individual it’s about broader economic conditions and the role of government in creating a stable environment for businesses and citizens.

People can invest their money, but when issues affect many citizens at once, it becomes a public concern. We can hold both individuals and government accountable where necessary without attacking each other.

I understand your point, but it’s not hypocrisy it’s about fairness and living conditions. Yes, prices of goods and petrol have increased, but income hasn’t increased at the same rate for most people. Housing is a basic need, not a luxury, so people will naturally speak up when rent becomes too high for what is being offered.

Also, the issue many people raise is not just the increase, but the value when rent goes up but the standard of the property remains poor, that’s where the concern comes in.

Nobody is saying landlords shouldn’t make profit, but there should be a balance. At the end of the day, both economic realities and human living conditions should be considered.
