Rent scam in Nigeria is real, and I just found out I’ve been one of its biggest victims. For years, I’ve been paying ₦1.3 million in rent, proudly thinking I was living in a premium space. What I didn’t know? The actual rent for my apartment is just ₦500,000. That’s a jaw-dropping ₦800K difference—every single year.
I’ve been cheated—badly. The agent in charge had been manipulating the figures, and I blindly trusted him. This is the kind of scam that leaves you speechless. You work hard, hustle non-stop, just to line someone else’s pockets without even knowing it.
Now that the truth is out, I feel betrayed, angry, and honestly, embarrassed. But I’m speaking up because rent scam in Nigeria is more common than you think. If it happened to me, it could happen to anyone. Always verify your rent details—don’t let blind trust cost you millions.
