Here in Africa the house you rented can make or mar you.
I remember years back in Agric estate Ojo Lagos, I rented a two bedroom apartment from one Isoko landlord. My experiences there are as follows:

Any soup or stew I cook must turn to water the following day.

Sometimes more than 1000 cockroaches will invade my apartment and within a twinkle of an eye they will disappear.

Strange movements in the ceiling especially at night.
Things became so hard that I can't even pay rent anymore.

I finally moved out through the help of friends to one room.

Happy Sunday Nairalanders.

Often than not, I have heard people say, "That house did not favour me. I almost sold all the property I came into that house with. In fact, I think there are forces working against development and progress in that house".

Some people also have different stories to share about their rented apartment. Some believe that in contrast to the opinion of the former, that the apartments they rented has in one way or the other contributed to their success, progress, and financial uplifting.

I have heard people also say, "when I packed into this house, I came with just one mattress and two pots, but today, I have been able to buy a car, married my wife, send my children to choice schools, and got multiple promotions at my place of work", while those in business will say they now have multiple shops.

The big question is this:

Can the apartment one rents contribute to his financial prosperity, uplifting and greatness and can a rented apartment also contribute to the downfall of one that was previously "doing well"?

While some think it's just superstitious hype, others think otherwise.

What's your take on this?

eclectic90:
you telling someone to shut up, should first shut up. People should be allowed their opinion. People have experienced things and you have no right to tell them what they think is wrong if you don't have any solution to it. If you say they are unlucky, where they unlucky before they got the money to rent the apartment that coincidentally after moving in there the "unlucky " means they were using to manage their lives started to fall apart? You hear about how people give other people love portion, you hear and see people that do money rituals, you hear about how people use witchcraft to kill others, you see and hear people talk about evil things men do to man and you think it is impossible that a landlord can do some of the things talked about? Please park one side! Things happen, people do alot of things that to you sounds unfathomable and unreasonable and people have strange experiences that may seem unbelievable, you don't have to diminish their experiences or believes because it hasn't happened to you.

Ikennablue:
and they will make you start imagining things, bringing negative energy around you.

One thing I know is that you are what you believe. We have to be careful with our thoughts and imagination because the power of these two cannot be over emphasized

Tbh i didn't bother reading that hogwash

The moment you rose to defend belief in witchcraft and goblins and pixies tells me all i need to know about you.

Cheers.

Their are no better words than what have told you. If I talk to you directly, I will still tell you same.

Those sentences might be short but trust me, they are divine. Realise your environment and ask why. Then devote time to get the answers. You shall find yourself at the door that will lead you to where all your questions will be answered.

Am not communicating with you on this again.

BigIyanga:

You rented a filthy apartment period. Naija is a superstition-indulging country. How comf those that live in churches and mosques are not as rich as Dangote and Wizkid?

eclectic90:
I'm glad you could read up to that. Whether you believe it or not is irrelevant. Just let people believe what they believe if you don't have any evidence to show that what they believe isn't real. You have your reasons and they do have their reasons.

I've manned up and struggled through your word salad because I'm mostly bored, and I'd love to see how idiots think.




But if i'd shut up, you wouldn't have had the opportunity to toss this word salad.



That's hypocritical, since I expressed my opinion of his opinion, and you're here using your opinion to tell me not to express my opinion of his opinion



So if your doctor finds some incurable disease in you, he should shut the fug up? Thumbs up, brainiac.



Word salad!



SMH



A landlord who has the power to remotely kill, cause harm, perform rituals to make money and is evil enough to do it, will not bother with rents. He'll make enough money to retire as the world's richest man. Does your brain know even how to brain properly?




I just did to reply you. And i still have my seat belt on.



Yeah, I still don't know how magnets work. How do magnets work?



Of course I have to. Why do atheists laugh at religious people?

Man, you do toss some mean word salad, don't you?

Idiot.

Goodgod213:


Look 3 years ago I paid for a room self con in Ibadan and after the payment 3 weeks later, one of the neighbors told me they buried the wife of the landlord there. I no even reason the matter because I don’t even go to church at all not even crossover nights. Within 4 months I bought my first car (Honda baby) in that same house, within 3 months I bought my Toyota Muscle.. Even sef no be spirit I Come day fear, I fear say make the Neighbours no set me up as I was the only one packing cars in the compound. I was only one in a Room self con and the rest Neighbours we’re living in Mini Flats and Two bedrooms.

Omo na laziness day make man think say spirit day pursue am. Do you think spirits no get better work than pursue and drag material things with human being.

It is mostly those who are Christians that succumb to such idea. And pastors won’t tell you to double your hustle. Instead they will be fueling your suspicion and cashing out on the little you have

Neddstark:


Pray not to be in a wrong house. In Lagos, i have lived in a house where i saw live ghost. As in not fuckîng joking. Things dey happen

Neoteny:


I summed up the strength, and courage, to wade through and it was dense!



The burden of evidence is on you. When you make a claim, back it up with proof, not wild and fanciful speculations that defy all known material laws. Talking about ghosts and witchcraft and magic makes you look daft to sensible minds.

We're in desperate times, things are hard, world war 3 is potentially around the corner, and your preoccupation is wizard landlords and sentient houses? Really?!

I blame the mod who pushes this garbage to the front.

XaintJoel20:


Thanks for being plain.
But why would a landlord want to impede the progress of his tenants?
What do they stand to gain?

well does who can have a conversation without resolving to insults usually are people with low IQ.
Didn't say don't express your opinion or your opinions aren't valid, I said don't diminish what other people think because you don't think the same.

Smart Alec, a doctor cannot jump to conclusions because of what he thinks, there must be evidence that what he says it's real, upon further investigations, a conclusion would be reached. Even in science, not every scientists agree on the same things, some things are generally accepted while some things are not. People accept and believe what they believe based on their own understanding, investigations, believes, experiences etc.

Numbskul, I never said a landlord wants to kill, I said people use different means to kill people. People have killed their family members for money rituals even used their children and manhood as sacrifices what makes you think a landlord that is diabolical wouldn't use the good fortune of his tenants to renew his own fortune. Do you know the pact he made with whatever he serves and believes in?

Nitwit, Atheists believe what they believe, I can't impose what I believe to them. They have their reasons for their believe whom am I to tell them they are wrong.

Ode, you don't have to believe or know how magnets work. It is evident. If I tell you when you bring metal close to it it will attract it and I show you, you see it. But if I tell you that I have seen an object that if you bring metal close to it it will attract it and you say it is a lie, does it mean that magnets don't exist because you haven't seen it or because you don't believe such can happen?

Shut up!

CAPSLOCKED:



NA NAIJA WE DEY.

THEY'LL GO ON FROM ACCUSING THEIR OLD AND WRETCHED RELATIVES IN THE VILLAGE, TO ACCUSING THEIR LANDLORDS, CO-TENANTS AND STREET PEOPLE FOR BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR SHORTCOMINGS IN LIFE. SCROLL DOWN TO SEE THE REPLIES IN THIS THREAD.

MIND YOU, THIS BELIEF ALONG WITH TONS OF MANY OTHER SUPERSTITIONS HAVE BEEN BURIED DEEP IN MAJORITY OF NIGERIANS MINDS, BY MOSTLY THE PEOPLE WHO RAISED THEM.

HOW CAN WE ERADICATE SUCH NONSENSICAL BELIEFS?
DESPITE THE NAMES AND RIDICULE, OUR CAMPAIGN TO ELIMINATE NONSENSE SUPERSTITIONS MUST GO ON!

eclectic90:
which evidence do you need? Somebody was doing well in their legit and clean business, or managing fine, gathered money and decided it is time to upgrade, paid you the money they got from their hustle, moved into your house and all of a sudden, what they were doing before they encountered you crumbles, what do you call that? Even if you you are not evil or diabolical, you must be badluck because if nothing is wrong with you and your hand is clean, as soon a tenant who is able to afford your rent encounters you, he or she should experience good returns.

Daguccizgreat:
I Don't know how old you're but you just spoke like a naive person. If you have ventured into strong business or got involved deeply in politics you would know what this is all about. Never mind one day your mentality will change when you see what the world really is

It's sheer greed. They channel the tenants fortunes to them selves. Mostly done by occultic men. I had a bitter experience regarding this issue
