How to store food to prevent it from going to waste | Spleet

Food is too expensive these days to let it go to waste. Here's a definitive guide on how to store produce and reduce food waste.

6 Nigerians share heartwarming stories about neighbours who impacted their lives

Happy International Women's Day! 🎉

As we observe International Women's Day and #EmbraceEquity, it's vital to acknowledge the insidious issue of female rental discrimination in Nigeria.

Single women in Nigeria have a particularly difficult time finding acceptable and suitable homes with landlords and real estate agents perpetuating the notion that a woman cannot—and should not—live outside their father or husband's house.

At Spleet, we understand that every person deserves the right to access safe and secure housing, irrespective of gender. We spoke with a few women in Lagos, Nigeria, who shared their painful rental experiences and how they resorted to providing male references and even engaging in pretence to secure an apartment.

It's time to eliminate gender-based barriers in rental housing and promote gender equity. As a leading proptech providing flexible and affordable housing solutions, we are committed to creating a more inclusive society where everyone has an equal opportunity to find a perfect place to call home and live comfortably. Let's join hands and #EmbraceEquity today and always.
