Leo DaSilva and Nina react to Lagos short-let prices
Former Big Brother Naija housemates Leo DaSilva and Nina have sparked online reactions after publicly criticizing what they described as outrageous short-let apartment prices in Lagos this December. Leo expressed shock after seeing listings of up to N700,000 per night, openly questioning the sanity behind such charges during the festive season.
Leo stated that while he understands the usual price surge that comes with December demand in Lagos, the current rates have gone far beyond reasonable limits. He described the prices as excessive and unfair, especially for apartments that do not always match the luxury being advertised. His comment quickly went viral and triggered widespread debate online.
Nina also joined the conversation, supporting Leo’s position and sharing her own frustration over the rising cost of short-let accommodations. She noted that many regular Nigerians, as well as visitors returning home for the holidays, are being priced out of decent housing options due to unchecked profiteering during the festive period.
Their reactions have opened fresh discussions about price regulation, consumer exploitation, and the growing cost of living in Lagos during peak seasons. Many social media users agreed with the reality stars, while others argued that the high prices are driven purely by demand and market forces.
As December tourism and entertainment activities continue to rise in Lagos, concerns over accommodation affordability are expected to remain a major topic. Property owners and short-let operators are yet to respond formally to the public outrage sparked by the comments of the two celebrities.
