Lagos Has Gone Too Far – Aproko Doctor Cries Out as Single Parlour Goes for N100k Monthly Rent
Lagos is not for the weak and that saying has never been truer than now. Aproko Doctor has taken to his platform to cry out about something that will make any Lagos renter wince. According to him, real estate agents in Lagos have gone all the way left, they are now renting out just a parlour for N100,000 per month.
Yes, a parlour not a flat, Not a self-contained apartment, just one room that serves as a sitting room. One hundred thousand naira. Per month, Let that sink in.
For N100k in some other Nigerian cities, you can get a decent two-bedroom flat. In Lagos, that amount now gets you a single space where you can maybe place a sofa and a television, no bedroom, no kitchen, no bathroom, just parlour.
Aproko Doctor is understandably frustrated. He is not just complaining for the sake of it, he is highlighting a crisis that is pushing many Lagos residents to the edge. Rent has always been expensive in Lagos, but this new level of madness means that ordinary workers can no longer afford decent accommodation. What is a young graduate earning N70k per month supposed to do when a single parlour costs N100k?
Reactions have been pouring in since his post went viral. Many Lagos renters are sharing their own horror stories, landlords hiking prices without reason, agents demanding outrageous fees, and people being forced to live in uncompleted buildings because that is all they can afford.
Some people are blaming the current economic situation. Others are blaming landlords and agents for being greedy. A few are saying that anyone paying N100k for a parlour is part of the problem, if people refuse, prices will come down. But the truth is, when you have nowhere to sleep, you take whatever you can get.
The Lagos real estate market has always been tough, but this is a new low. If things continue like this, soon people will start renting out just a corner of a room. And someone will pay for it.
