House Agents Are The New Armed Robbers - Olacutetunes

The comment, *”Those house agents go soon dey carry Kala waka at this rate cos na daylight robbery they Dey do,”* reflects growing frustration with the exorbitant fees and commissions charged by house agents in cities like Abuja and Lagos. Many tenants feel exploited, as these rising costs make securing housing increasingly difficult, often with little justification for such steep charges.

However, such statements, while expressing valid frustration, can have negative impacts by promoting hostility and deepening mistrust between agents and tenants. Instead of encouraging constructive dialogue for fair pricing and transparency, comments like these risk escalating tensions and undermining potential solutions to the housing crisis. A more balanced approach could help foster cooperation and necessary reforms in the real estate sector.
