Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Uriel Oputa, has voiced her frustration over the conduct of property agents, calling on authorities to regulate their activities.
Taking to social media, the reality star shared a recent experience where an agent demanded $20 from her just to view a property she was interested in. In another instance, she was asked to pay ₦25,000 before being allowed to inspect a potential home.
“Some of these agents are out here playing God,” she wrote, clearly exasperated.
Uriel went on to describe the practice of charging for property viewings as “highly illegal,” adding that it’s time for the government or appropriate bodies to step in and enforce proper standards.

Her comments have sparked conversations online, with many Nigerians echoing similar experiences and calling for stricter oversight of the real estate sector to protect prospective tenants and buyers.
In other news, Nollywood actress Ruby Ojiakor and her husband, actor Moc Madu, recently shared in a video how their relationship started while working together on a film set in Anambra State.
Ruby recounted that during the production, where they played lovers on screen but didn’t end up married in the story, Madu often asked her for favours. She reflected on those moments as the beginning of something deeper between them.
Moc Madu, reflecting on that time, said he returned to Lagos after the movie shoot, and they stayed in touch. However, he couldn’t ignore the strong feeling in his heart that Ruby was meant to be his wife. That persistent belief led him to take their bond more seriously and move the relationship forward.
Speaking about her husband, Ruby said he might be playful but isn’t a womaniser—something very important to her. In her words:
“My husband is not a womaniser, because me I don’t like cheating men, I can’t stand it. My husband is Godfearing.”
Sharing the video, Ruby added a message to her fans:
“How we met, pls listen and be happy. Love is a beautiful thing. Give love a chance and thank me later.”
The video features the couple recounting their unique journey from co-stars to real-life partners.
