APARTMENT HUNTING | LAGOS EDITION | LOST IN LAGOS

[@paulyoung1505]

this was very helpful can't wait to relocate to Nigeria

[@Afrocurlitan]

Paul Young thank you for watching! Best of luck with your move!

[@shaystube15]

I actually love the fact of paying rent for the entire year because your rent there is so much more cheaper than ours. 1 million naira is like 2600 plus dollars and that's for the entire years rent. Heck, I pay that in 2 months here and have 10 months left to pay much more. I know when my significant other told me how much he pays I was like wow! However, finding a place to live there is hectic and some of the flats are not good at all and in poor shape. Saw a few rentals an agent showed us and they both were a hot mess. I quickly asked my significant other to look at other flats. He said, the rental market there is tricky and it pays to know someone due to many being deceitful and so on. Great n informative video!

[@shachede6828]

that's not how it works. its not converting $ to naira, except you are paying rent and you income is based in the US(dollars). most people don't even make 500,000 naira in nigeria in a year. thing are prices based on been in Nigeria. the real equivalence of prices is same as the US. not sure if i explained this well. its cost of living in Nigeria.

[@chidiugwunna1467]

Hello You like me I was born in the US but move to Nigeria in the 1980s

[@WallaceRoseVincent]

I like the way you present the subject of Nigeria country.

[@NathsCrazyWorld]

Loved it! Very informative ☺️☺️☺️

[@Afrocurlitan]

Aww, thank you!! I really appreciate it! :D

[@proverbalizer]

I see so many videos about people moving back to Lagos, and they're almost 100% made by females. Either, brothers aren't moving home the same way sisters are, or we're just not into making vlogs, or a combo of the two. Anyway, thanks for the info

[@Afrocurlitan]

ProVerbalizer yeah, that's true. We don't see many videos from men, but they are definitely moving back. Hopefully some guys will start making videos so see things from their point of view. Thank you for watching!

[@proverbalizer]

well, I may be making the move very soon (July-ish), but I'm not the type vlog either, rather spend my time making beats and songs... well, maybe some music videos if anything...

[@NaturallyMissMeka]

You low key look like Genevieve Nnaji, in this video at least. Anyways I like your content. Not planning on moving to Nigeria but love the culture and love hearing your stories. I am from Jamaica, married to a Ghanaian but live in the states.

[@4chukwuebuka]

nwanne kedu. you have googly eye so mesmerizing make me wanna hug you. I also am igbo living in texas and would also like to live in nigeria. What about eastern cities are they good as well?

[@angellmaciell1869]

I'm in love

[@creolelady9548]

Yep! I already pay my rent 6 months to a year at a time. So this wouldn't be an adjustment for me. :D Your videos are really informative. :) I have been watching a lot of videos about Nigeria and Spain. lol I have been researching places too. I don't plan to move overseas for another two years. :)

[@Afrocurlitan]

Thank you for watching! I'm so happy to hear you like my videos. I think it is great that you are taking the time to do your research, it so important. Please let me know if there are any topics you would like me to cover! 😊

[@creoleladyscommonsenseappr8036]

@@Afrocurlitan Hi. Since I made this comment, my mom became ill. So I don't plan to move far away for another 6 years or so. Still not decided. I've bn focusing in on London vs Lagos though.

[@jprovides]

How can I rent out a apartment n do u know any apartments that are cheap like what's the names

[@laurenburch6446]

Thank you for all of the informative information. Was just wondering are you originally from the US or did you live here for just a short span. Also, I have been online dating someone from Abuja and have a new appreciation for Africa. Pls. give me hair growing tips/products that you use to grow ur hair. Next time you are in the US. feel free to come visit, would Love to have you!!!!😇😇

[@Afrocurlitan]

Thank you for watching, I'm so glad you like my content. I lived in Nigeria until I was four and then moved to the US. I do plan on posting more hair-related videos in the very near future! Thank you for the invite, I really appreciate it! Good luck with your relationship!

[@sapiensneanderthal1865]

im thinking of buying houses in lagos to rent out ..but using european model to take rent per/month not year..and to target the middle and slightly under middle class people

[@Afrocurlitan]

Hello, I think that is a great idea. I know that there is a company currently doing that here called Fibre.ng, but it would be great to have more businesses like these! Definitely keep me posted! -Didi

[@Rcrecords10]

it will not work because what we are used to is what we are used to

[@yomzydee6825]

Did you countenance that adeniji adele, campos, odunlami all on Lagos Island are closer to marina than VI and Ikoyi?

[@King-vv9rf]

I have my apartment in owerri .. imo state.. before I moved to Dubai

[@florafola5186]

Good video. Very informative. Pls try to start a support group so returnees can network with each other. Good job

[@leevanthompson7484]

Hi Afrocurlitan I have a suggestion for you if you can do a program about jobs and job agencies in Lagos I and a lot of other people will definitely appreciate it. Thank you .

[@MaiAngelTv]

Thanks, well informed :)

[@Afrocurlitan]

Thank you! I'm glad you found it helpful!

[@UjuJustina]

nice video dear

[@AbujaYummyMummy]

you're beautiful...i always thought the landlord was responsible for the agency fee in Nigeria.

[@Afrocurlitan]

Aww, thank you!! No, the renter usually pays the agency fee here. The common practice has become for them to charge 10% of the total rent sum. In practice, the amount of rent usually determines what an agent will charge. Usually, when the rent is in the millions, an agent can charge as low as 5%, depending on the negotiating power of the tenant. When the rent is less, usually in the hundreds of thousands, most agents insist on charging a 10% agency fee.

[@AbujaYummyMummy]

Afrocurlitan oh wow...thanks for the detailed info, will keep that in mind if i ever go house hunting

[@endyokezie7372]

Good and useful information..:)

[@Afrocurlitan]

I'm glad you found this video useful! :D

[@biancasch.1232]

Witch for hotel is the best in lagos ????

[@johnsuperhist5219]

Wait the tenant pay per year how can a landlord survive I thought is monthly pay.

[@jen.tancica]

hi do you live in lagos. Can we be friends pls?

[@Afrocurlitan]

Of course, feel free to email me anytime.

[@VicDamoneJr82]

What about boiling the water

[@proverbalizer]

Do you think 10-14 days in Lagos with the specific mission of finding an apartment is enough time?

[@Afrocurlitan]

Hi Fola, I do think that is enough time to find an apartment.

[@Chugotravels9342]

we want see vlogs

[@Afrocurlitan]

I'm definitely planning on sharing some vlogs. I'll probably upload on over the next week or two! Thank you for subscribing and watching my video! :)

[@thatsmaney8943]

❤️❤️❤️❤️ beautiful

[@Afrocurlitan]

Thank you!

[@TheKingofHowTos_TKHT]

Well said!

[@Afrocurlitan]

Thank you!!

[@TheKingofHowTos_TKHT]

You're welcome!

[@proverbalizer]

so, if you want to move in less than 1 or 2 years, like say your job changes from Ikeja to Aja...or even Lagos to Abuja, or you rent an apartment during the dry season only to find out that your street floods every time it rains, are you just SOL? Do you really only have the option of moving once a year (or paying for two apartments at the same time)

[@Afrocurlitan]

You can move out early but your rent is already paid for so you can't get that money back. That is the part that sucks about paying your rent in advance. I have quite a few friends who have gotten an apartment with www.fibre.com/. Fibre allows you to pay rent on a monthly basis, so it is really great for people who don't want to commit to paying rent once a year. They also have brand new apartments that are fully furnished and fully serviced. You can either get an apartment with roommates or rent one alone.

[@proverbalizer]

here's another question on the practicalities of moving. Is is feasible to ship stuff from the U.S. to Lagos? It's not like moving from Brooklyn to New Jersey where I could just rent a U-haul or hire a moving van, and I definitely won't be able to fit everything I want to bring into 2 suitcases before I hop on a flight.

[@chelsearain8099]

How mush US dollars

[@osaigbovoahunwan2145]

you are beautiful my dear

[@samnorton1746]

Her hair is just distracting me I can’t hear anything she’s saying. Is that her real hair?

[@nvkotian7539]

I would rather hire you and be with you. You are beautiful.

[@kandy1227]

Osaigbovo Ahunwan you sound like my man he’s from Nigeria 🇳🇬 he don’t like them in Dubai lol 😂

[@follygunners]

OK sisi 'Ajebota'.... For goddamn sake, stop comparing a well established society where >90% of things work to a failed society like ours. The problem with our generation is....we tend to westernize everything instead of trying to localize and indigenize (resolving the indigenous people's problems by meeting their basic needs). See China, India, Brazil et al... I understand you're prolly from the top-middle class echelon or above. The costs, prices and overall platform/context on which your conversation is based is focused on a certain top-class of Lagosians. Those said prices and factors might be 'realistic' among ur 'folks'... (15%-20% - top-middle class) but, aren't 'realistic' from an everyday Nigerian perspective that constitute about 75%. Great conversation but, unrealistic factors and comparisons. Explore the heart of the Lagos-m'land, experience the real and genuine Lagosians and..... get REAL!

[@Afrocurlitan]

Folly Gunners Thanks for watching!

[@SharpTechno]

Errr.....she was CLEARLY making this video for returnees who are trying to get an apartment in Lagos and aren't familiar with how things work in Lagos and Nigeria in general. What exactly are you on about? I smell your insecurity creeping out. You need to chill and sit down somewhere. Sheesh!

[@1anre]

Folly Gunners how many repatriating Nigerians. Are below low middle class? Did you read the caption of her video? Why are you so angry ? Enjoy her content or move along mate.

[@TerryJulianLive]

shes so annoying to watch..

[@Afrocurlitan]

THE AMERICAN INVESTOR SHOW then don't watch. Keep it moving.

[@nvkotian7539]

What about "Boko Haram"?

[@Rcrecords10]

N V Kotian even though it is a problem it is predominantly a northern problem not a Lagos problem

[@osaigbovoahunwan2145]

your question make you look stupid, is it anywhere today in the world people are not killing even those that claim superpower

[@PatienceSaduwa]

N V Kotian It's in the North East of the country- very small part of the country and thousands of miles from Lagos which is by the coast in southern Nigeria
