The comment, “Imagine House Agents without a gun but charging like this, what if you made them jobless, what else should we expect from them next?” reflects frustration over the high rates charged by house agents in cities like Abuja and Lagos. It paints a bleak picture, suggesting that if agents were to lose their jobs, they might resort to more extreme or unlawful means to survive. While it captures the frustration with exploitative charges, this kind of rhetoric only fuels fear and negativity.
Instead of assuming the worst, it’s essential to address the root cause—unregulated practices and rising living costs. Constructive criticism should focus on advocating for fairer policies, regulation of agent fees, and creating economic opportunities to reduce the pressure on both renters and agents. Such discussions can lead to better solutions rather than heightening tensions
