Embracing Exploitation Is Part Of Lagos Lifestyle - Fe__yi (The_blaq_guy)

The comment, “Bro just pay and lock up na Lagos u dey 🥺,” normalizes the exploitation and high fees charged by house agents in Lagos, suggesting that people should accept it as part of the city’s lifestyle. This attitude reflects a concerning mindset where unfair practices are accepted as the norm, discouraging any push for systemic change.

Such complacency enables continued exploitation and places unnecessary financial burden on individuals. Rather than simply accepting extortion, there should be a call for more regulation and transparency in the housing market to protect tenants from unfair fees. Acceptance of unfair practices only perpetuates the problem, making it harder to address the root issues affecting affordability in major cities like Lagos.
