He has posted a video on TikTok showing the specific gas lamp he wants, and he said he would pay $25,000 for it.

A simple conversion of $25,000 approximately amounts to N11.5 million, and this is the price the man is willing to pay for the lamp.

While such an amount seems too good to be offered for an old lamp, it appears the lamp might be hard to find.

The lamp in his hand was made in Germany in 1875, and according to the man, the one he is looking for must attract other iron objects like a magnet.

But some people on TikTok have said they have the lamp even though it was made more than 150 years ago and is even out of use in many homes.

Some doubted the man’s sincerity. His TikTok bio, @olakanmiegolddeni says he buys old items at a good price, but people find it hard to believe him.
