Lagos Residents Protest Against High House Rents and Agent Fees

Lagos residents recently took to the streets to express their frustration over the high cost of renting homes and the extra charges often demanded by house agents in the city.

The Lagos house rent protest gained attention after a video surfaced on X (formerly Twitter), showing a car packed with passionate protesters driving through the streets of Lagos. At the front of the car, a large banner clearly stated the purpose of the movement.

The message on the poster read: “Enough is enough, we say no to overpriced house rents. We say no to housing agents. Agents of darkness.”

As the video made the rounds online, many Nigerians took to the comment section to share their thoughts and support for the protest.
