Bills, Bills, Bills

from Journey Back Home

Finding a home in Nigeria is not for the faint of heart. It takes patience, persistence, and plenty of lessons learned along the way. In this episode of Journey Back Home we dive into what it really takes to secure a place to live when moving back. We share our personal journeys of house hunting and why Abuja and Lagos became our chosen cities. Bukky breaks down the realities of the real estate market including pricing, agents, hidden costs, and the scams you should watch out for. We also touch on modern options like shared apartments and the debate between serviced apartments and self-service living. From practical tips such as why you need mosquito nets to a ready-to-use checklist of questions to ask when house hunting, this episode is your guide to navigating the chaos with confidence. Your first home does not have to be your forever home. It just needs to give you space to land, breathe, and figure out the rest.
