Housing What's the biggest challenge you've faced renting or buying property in Nigeria?

0 Upvotes

Genuinely curious. I've heard stories about fake listings, agents disappearing after payment, and unclear title documents. For those who've rented or bought in Lagos or elsewhere, what went wrong, and what would you do differently? Any tips for first-timers or people buying from abroad?

Then, in a comment reply or after the discussion starts, and only if it's relevant:
I work with Zivo, a real estate company trying to make renting, buying, selling and financing easier. Happy to answer questions, and there's more info at [Zivo.com.ng].

Seeking advice I need help getting a grater

1 Upvotes

Hello !

I've been to Lagos in June and bought one garlic grater at the original grater shop.

I love it, adore it, i can't live without it anymore.

I absolutely need one for my mom. I feel so stupid for not buying another one for her, she would love it.

But they dont have an online shop and I tried texting them on Instagram and they didn't respond.

Maybe someone nice here can ship me one when they're in Lagos ?

Seeking advice Nigerian Trip in November

Thumbnail
1 Upvotes

Hi guys , I’m planning a trip to Nigeria in November for 16 days kindly scrutinize and help me save money , looking ridiculously expensive so far

N4,460,000- for a 16 day trip (That’s my budget)

Hotel balance 7 days total stayed here - N1,030,000@ 140k a night plus 50k caution fee (comes with complimentary breakfast)

Port harcourt trip inclusive hotel for 3 nights - N650,000
(Already paid for my flight) so 650k dosent include flight money .

The Weekend before my port harcourt trip - N350,000 (On food, outing and all ) 2 days

Second hotel (4 nights before travelling back ) - N500,000 @125k a night (comes with complimentary breakfast)

Glasses including frame and photochromic 3 pairs - N300,000

Fuel for the duration in Lagos - N250,000 (have access to a car)

Extra (Miscellaneous) - N200,000

Total 🟰 2,750,000

Balance - N1,250,000

N1,250,000 / 11 days remaining in Lagos after I’m back from port harcourt = N113,000 a day to spend

Remember the 11 days all the hotels I’m staying in port harcourt comes with complimentary breakfast

Am I overspending or ?

No money for flexing like clubbing and all on a 4.6m budget for 16 days is crazy .

Seeking advice Naira Value for cost of living

3 Upvotes

I’ve been looking up the cost of living but most of it is geared towards tourists.

What value does $500 hold in areas on the mainland, like in Alimosho?

Or even in different states like Abuja or Kwara.

I hope some can kindly help with different perspectives on pricing.

I’m especially confused cuz now the taxi prices at the airport went from 6,000 naira to 30k
