...resulted in my head injury.

Ah! So you sustained a head injury in the process! So sorry to hear about that.

You know the major problem about this housing of a thing isn't the yearly rent. It is the outrageous fees the agent will be charging for agreement and commission.

I have friend in Lagos who's try to secure just a single room. The rent cost 120k annually, then agreement is 90k, commission too 90k, and a caution few of 20k. Causing one to pay 320k in total. Like... who are those collecting the agreement and commission. They have just made houses rent unbearable to afford. And when issues arises just as you've said, they won't even be there to assist.

Here's an example

I'd advise you just bear with the water challenges because of the fact that you still have expenses ahead that's yet to come.

How about those Aboki's that helps with pushing truck of water? If you can still get them, try to make use of them once in a while.
