Lady shares experience in newly rented apartment
The lady, who shared her ordeal on TikTok under the handle @fheyioflagos, expressed her dismay after moving into the new apartment.
In a video showing the apartment, she recounted how her appliances, including newly purchased bulbs, began to malfunction on the first day.
The situation took a turn for the worse when her generator, used solely for charging her phone, overloaded and ceased functioning.
To compound her woes, the lady was informed that the area was subjected to a power outage.

After moving in, she was dismayed to learn that the situation had deteriorated, with the ‘band B’ being downgraded to ‘band C’, implying a poor supply of electricity.
In her words:
“Just two days after moving into my new apartment, and I’ve already cried one million times. God please, don’t let my former landlord laugh at me. I thought I was moving into an apartment, I didn’t know it was a funeral home for all my appliances. Please tell me, are we supposed to be going out with our appliances?Because all my appliances, including the bulbs that I bought, exploded on the first day. As if that wasn’t enough, my generator knocked off due to overload.
“I don’t know what that means, because I only use that generator to charge my phone. When I paid for this apartment, I was told that the area was on a ‘band B’ only for me to move in and I was told that it has been downgraded to Band C. Guys, I haven’t seen light since I moved into this apartment. I’m going through a lot, I’m tired of this. It’s just day two of 365 days. What would you advise me to do, guys? Should I start looking out for another place again, just two days after?”
