He probably doesn't have the funds to rent a new apartment yet. He'll leave eventually. Home owners should learn to have compassion for their tenants. The state of affairs in the country is causing millions to suffer untold hardship.

Are you the tenant the OP is talking about?

The name is Chigozie Okongwu James is an Anioma name... It is Delta Igbo !

You see , when they do bad you guys call them Igbo
When they do good you call them Anioma


Well, he is Igbo and we would not reject him because of rent issues

I know a property in the same Surulere shared by my Chirch, and an Igbo man. When the Church bought over the property, this man will not quit his apartment for a whole year. And will not even act sorry, or plead for time. He simply says "He doesn't have anywhere to go to".

Like I say again, don't resort to self help, take him to court, and also take him to God in prayers day and night and ask God for Justice and judgement.

Good day all.

Please, I need your advice on one wicked stubborn tenant. My family gave this our tenant a quick notice since February this year 2019. As a matter of fact, the tenant and our family went to Lagos Arbitration and Mediation Centre. It was at the Mediation Centre that we both reached an agreement that he should leave our apartment.

So, we gave him 6 months quit notice in February, 2019. His previous house rent elapsed that same February, 2019. So, for the 6 months quit notice we gave him, he didn't pay any money. He actually said he would need 6 months to search for another apartment at that meeting we had with him at the Mediation Centre in February. So, we gave him the 6 months for free.

The 6 months we gave him elapsed at the end of August, 2019. When the 6 months elapsed, he refused to vacate the apartment. So, my family went back to the Lagos Mediation Centre to complain. The Mediation Centre sent him (the tenant) a letter giving him 7 days ultimatum to vacate the apartment. At the end of the 7 days, this man refused to leave. My family complained again to the Mediation Centre and they said they would look into it.

After another 3 months again by last November, 2019, this tenant refused to leave the apartment. My family went back again to the Lagos Mediation Centre and one of the officials there said "So, the man has not left the house since?". We responded yes. At the Mediation Centre there, they said something like they are incapacitated by the law to take any action.

This is December now going to an end. The tenant is still in the house. He has refused to vacate the apartment. It's about 10 months now living in our apartment without any payment. He has refused to leave.

The apartment is a 2 bedroom flat in Aguda Surulere, Lagos. The tenant's name is Mr Chigozie Okongwu James.

We don't want to take law into our hands as it seems there is no solution to the problem through the Lagos Mediation Centre. It's about 10 months now!

What can my family do to get the man ejected from the apartment? Your advice are welcomed.



I advise that you contact a legal practitioner to help you file for recovery of premises in the magistrate court (yaba).
The Lagos Citizens Mediation Centre will only try to resolve issues amicably as they lack enforcement powers unlike court.. Meanwhile all things being equal you should get judgement in a reasonable time in court... Give it a thought man.
You can contact for further clarification (08060672567) Cheers!!

That's wickedness. I don't want to sound bigotic, but that's why most igbo don't usually get accommodated by Lagos Landlords.

Most landlords have vowed never to give igbos their houses because most of them are too cunning and destructive.

My brother, don't take matters into your hands.
The mediation center after the 7 days are meant to send your case to a multidoor court.
Don't mind does at at the center. Demand they should forward your case to multidoor court. If they refuse something is wrong.
You don't need a lawyer.
Don't insult them ask politely.
If they refuse take your aggrement and 7 days notice to their ikeja head office and explain to them everything.
They will make sure your case forwarded to a multidoor court. You don't need a lawyer.

So ten months of living free and denying the landlord of his rent is not compassionate enough......abi the landlord won't feed again.

Op, don't listen to any advice here telling you to use force, police, soldiers, remove his roof, etc. These are just illiterate kids typing from their backyard.
You have done well by giving him the statutory 6 months notice. You are the cause of your problems sef. Why the delay? Rush to the magistrate court with a lawyer and the signed agreement you had with the tenant in the mediation center. The magistrate will then enforce it.
If you use soldier, when the case starts, nothing consigns the soldier o, police, etc na on top your family head. You should had involved a lawyer from the on set. The next step is the magistrate court abeg.
