Have you ever rented in Nigeria? What was your experience?
If you live in a major city like Lagos, I’m sure you’d have stories to tell.
Let’s not even get started on the ups and downs of trying to buy a house. Omo!
But wait for o, where people dey get money to buy a house for this economy? Because the thing is not economic-ing one bit.
We know these issues, and as always, we have your best interests at heart.
We will be hosting our friends from Mixta Africa to have a heart-to-heart talk with us on how we can comfortably rent and even own houses.
I don’t know about you but as for me, I am definitely not missing this!
