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.
