In a video on TikTok, the lady, @june_bug04, noted that it is a new building and they (tenants) were only provided with water.
While commending the management for providing them with water, she lamented that the water has a colour.
“So, I have officially spent two nights in my new apartment and I’m already regretting why.
“So, they are supposed to give me light and water. They’ve tried, at least, they have given us water, because, it is a new building.
“The water is somehow, it is orangish, still kind of orangish because it is new water na, so, they have to clean the tanks before our water is fine. That’s okay. I can wait for them to clean the tank,” she opened up.

She said the problem with the new apartment is power supply, which has made her spend up to N10k on fuel every two days to power her generator.
“The problem I’m now having is light issue. They said according to NEPA people, they have not given them meters for every compound and now I have to run gen to give myself light..
“I cannot be spending up to N10k every two days fo fuel. This is hilarious. I am going back to my father’s house.”
