A Nigerian man has revealed how he ended up spending more than N7 million on a house he thought would cost N2.8 million.
He claims that after learning that the house rent would be N2.8 million, he eagerly deposited the money and began furnishing the apartment.
However, upon further investigation, he discovered that he had an additional N2.1 million power charge.
Instead of the initial N2.8 million, he was required to pay a total of N7.3 million for the house.
He posted on Twitter;
“Saw a rent of N2.8m, and I rushed to pay. Only to find out later that the service charge for the year without electricity expenses is N2.1m. Lagos real estate companies 1 VS Harri 0.
Light consumption is N305/KW.
As a remote worker who will be mostly at home and has a chandelier 86 inches TV, and other high-consuming electrical appliances, my electricity bill will amount to about N300k/month, N200k if I invest in an inverter.
From thinking I’ll pay N2.8m rent in Lekki to paying N7.3m is wild. Can’t even ask for a refund because I have started furnishing and doing other things. Furnishing will take another N10m. I was wondering why they had a handful of celebrity tenants here. E don clear now.”
