I wonder if only Lagosians face the heat when it comes to paying bills... The money that is being earned is not even enough to sort those bills unless we economize.
Two days ago, my landlord sent me a message on Whatsapp that my rent had been increased from 450k to 600k and the service charge had been increased from 50k to 100k.
The part that got me annoyed was the service charge, I was tempted to ask him what he was maintaining in the house apart from the lawma, security fee, and cleaner that comes once or twice a week, the rest of the maintenance was done by the tenants, he brought a prepaid meter and said the connection fee was on us and we did it... We are the ones also paying the water bills, compound light, just mention it and he dared to charge 100k for service charge.
I just replied to him that I would be packing out by the end of next month cos I see no point in causing a scene where am leaving soon, it is better to leave in peace.
I find it absurd how the Landlord increases my rent within 2 years, the government ought to regulate this thing and make it a law that no increment should be added until after 4 years a tenant packed in but they are busy looting the citizens too, what a country!

He did it to the other tenants too and they were annoyed but there is nothing they can do than to pay if they want to keep staying there.
Instead of staying in this area where rent is high, I have used my senses and decided to move back to my former area, rent is cheaper there... I can't imagine myself paying 2 million naira yearly for a mini flat, with the way it is going, everyone should just go and build a house because it will only get worse and there will be a time when house rent will be unaffordable for many.
At the place I am currently staying, I am paying almost 40k for rent monthly and the electricity bill is 24k monthly which sums the total to 64thousand, I have not mentioned the cost of food, data, and other little bills.
The cost of living would unalive many people before their time because it is just too much...
As a man, the best thing you can do is economize and avoid unnecessary bills so the money you are saving now can save you later.
