What you don't realise is it is racial discrimination and she could be jailed for it.

I believe it's subject to argument in court. She can't sacrifice her health in a house smelling of over burnt stew... If she is aysmathic

Openbusiness:
That's not racism. People have preferences. She only wants to rent to Europeans. Nothing wrong with that.

Ayofaks:
That must be the work of okporoko and ogiri

This is one of the reasons black Americans don't like Africans especially Nigerians, We Idolize white skinned people nothing they do is wrong in our eyes. The white landlady says the house is open to only Europeans because of smell of African food, have any of you smelt Greek food, IDIOTS!!

Tribalists everywhere.

Ya'll have no right to condemn the woman for being racist.

At the end the lady stated it was Nigerians cooking smell in the house that made her deny the Gambian rent. She had concluded only White Europeans cook food that don't smell.

You can say what you like about any landlord in Nigeria. That is not the question here.

In UK, if it can be proven she is discriminating on race, gender, sexual orientation and religion, she could be jailed.


It is up to you to continue embracing primitive customs.

“ She even tried to play it down by saying how she has Nigerian friends and that all their houses smell like what they cook,” he concluded.

dustydee:
The smell of some of the things we cook can be very uncomfortable. Imagine cooking with stockfish, crayfish or Locust beans, things can get unbearable especially if it's a multi tenant apartment. Also the smell tends to linger on even after the tenant leave and the landlord will have to make arrangements to deodorise the property.
It is however wrong for her to refuse renting the property to him but she could have put restrictions in the tenancy agreement.

I don't think it's racism. She was explicit and anyone can understand her reasons; she doesn't want people from a particular race because of the smell of their food and seriously, some Nigerian spices (iru and ogiri) could make you take certain decisions cos u don't want to inconvenience the other tenant(s). She already knows she can't tell you the type of food you would cook as her tenant so she would rather prevent it in the first place. Also, some people are not considerate of others when using such stinking stuff that they leave exposed for a long time.

Even as a Nigerian and a lover of local delicacies, I hate those 2 stuffs I just mentioned.

MrBrownJay1:
what about them stinky indians and their food... is that one ok?!
