Social media users are upset at a Nigerian student’s recent rant on her housing difficulties.
The young woman, who vented her annoyance on TikTok, disclosed that her landlord had charged his tenants an unanticipated rent hike.
The distraught student, who went by @fresh_lily, expressed her anguish by stating that her yearly rent had increased from N80,000 to N150,000.
Despite her best attempts to work hard and save, this rise has left her struggling to make ends meet.
She thought that by sharing her story, she would highlight the difficulties that many Nigerian students confront as they struggle to make ends meet while dealing with growing living expenses.
The landlord allegedly told her to leave the property if she couldn’t pay the increased rent when she was confronted about it.
In her words: “Nigeria don finally spoil my early 20s for me. How can house rent increase from N80k to N150k in students area? The man said if we cannot stay, we should park out. Everyday I keep on hustling like a family woman. Even when I save I don’t save anything. TINUBU. Students are suffering everybody is crying.”
Commenting on the report, a Nigerian landlord who chose to remain unnamed claimed he too upped his rent owing to the poor Nigerian economy.
In his words: “I also increased my rent because this economy is not smiling. Can you see the price of eggs, rice? Everything is on the increase. I have five children I need to feed them.”
