A young man with aspirations of becoming a landlord finds himself filled with deep regrets after unknowingly purchasing land in a region prone to flooding. A video circulating on social media captured the man's lament as his unfinished house and the surrounding area were submerged in floodwater. In the video, he expressed his regret over the decision to buy land in such a location and innocently build a house there.
In response to the video, various individuals shared their reactions. One commenter advised potential land buyers in the Ajah axis to wait until the rainy season before making a purchase, to avoid falling victim to such situations. Another commenter jokingly remarked that the man had chosen to buy land close to a river, suggesting he had intended to build a beach house.
The video serves as a cautionary tale, highlighting the consequences of purchasing property in flood-prone areas. Real estate agents were criticized for selling land at lower prices during the dry season and using incentives like bags of cement to attract buyers, without disclosing the potential risks. Some expressed sympathy for the man and wished him strength in dealing with the unfortunate situation.
“Why I go open my eyes go buy this kind of land. God help me oooo,” he wrote in the caption of the video.
