But people are still renting and this has been going on for years. This is an organized racket. Why would anyone rent a flat in a property with over 100 rooms? Even if the landlord is not mad, co-tenants would be mad na.

The man is a convicted drug kingpin. His notoriety didn’t start today.

Nigeria is a lost country that aid and abet crimes. Fraudster eyeing and wining political posts. Yahoo boys flaunting everywhere and a dead judicial system. I have never seen a country as worst as Nigeria.

Interesting this was one of the houses I checked for when house hunting in 2016 decided to just do island..houses on the mainland were just not it. My friend called it a barracks, wondered who could possibly want to live there.

All these Lagos sanitation agencies or kini they are setting up cannot look into it??

Like, even if he has connections, nko? Ehen? Shey na only him get am?

I CANNOT understand why people allow themselves to be so much "oppressed" and rode on. Like, you cannot do anything at all?

Who heads those agencies? Their pals, their wings, their associates. The country is deeply corrupted.

When a new tenant is moving in basking over having obtained a too-good-to-be-true deal not too far from the island, other tenants would be looking on with side eye, shaking their heads and saying to themselves- “should we tell him?”




Every brothers should we tell him

Should we tell him?
To let him go on trustin' isn't fair
Should we tell him?
Should we tell him that his girl doesn't care?
I took my best girl dancin'
Down to my best friend's mansion
He met us at the door and said, "Glad you're here"
Before the dance was over
I saw him call her over
Then he whispered, thought I didn't hear
Should we tell him?
To let him go on trustin' isn't fair
Should we tell him?
Should we tell him that his girl doesn't care?
I left them there together
Thought that I might feel better
Down at this cafe where we used to go
Some of my friends had gathered
Just for some fun and laughter
Then I heard two of them a talkin' low
Should we tell him?
To let him go on trustin' isn't fair
Should we tell him?
Should we tell him that his girl doesn't care?

All I can see is a bunch of foolish tenants blaming their foolishness on a wicked and shylock Landlord.
Let's start from the beginning. You are looking for an apartment. An Agent carry you go show you house without window, you like am. You saw the dilapidating structures you like am. Landlord told you the house rentage na 350k per annum, you no argue. He give you agreement you sign, you sign am..
You saw other tenants when you came there, you no ask how the house be . You go pay pack in. E reach time to renew rent, you come dey argue, and abuse landlord. Getat!

You can say this again, honestly. Even me am tired. This sanwo olu of a governor is a typical mumu. Agbero are now every where in the streets of lagos, collecting money, from passerby because of their load, traffic now is worst. House rents are so damn expensive. Transportation damn expensive. cry

Good one for informing people about such houses and landlords, i would encourage people in other locations to expose such properties owned by devious landlords and land ladies.

The thing about accommodation is that when, money changes hands its difficult to get back , hence the need to do due diligence, landlords that rely exclusively on their rents are a headache, especially when they have mental and drug problems.

Have you ever tried to buy something like a car or a very expensive item alone, surrounded by aggressive seductive sales people?

It takes a strong mind to overcome their cajoling, at times its what happens to some tenants, though not all of them.

To say I know this house shocks me.

My own bi say I pack in. Light dey the day I went for inspection. Omo, only to pack in and no light come dey full full. You breathe and it comes back to you. Like you breathe out carbon dioxide and inhale carbon dioxide.

Agents will tell you there's water. After you pay, you'll start hearing “I meant there is water in the neighbourhood. Ours is a little faulty.”

Landlord is notorious for thuggery. Name is Akindele I think. Like army dey fear am. He's connected to politicians there.

I strongly advise you rent a place that's conducive for your health. Just save. I don't play with my health and serenity. I can never use my money to pay for a place without water. I can manage power outage if it's not permanent but needs a fix.


Tenants in that house look like they relate. Of course, they manage the same suffering.


How I escaped? I planned my strategy well. Begged Baba that I had an emergency relocation in another state but I'll bring sb..since I had sb willing to manage it. Even bought wine.

Baba agreed. I Japa. In fact, call me a Japan.

Forget following trends and sentiments. check it now. Are you telling me these guys did not visit the apartments before paying the Landlord. I check all their comments, none said they were forced to pay. They saw the house without window, not that the window was removed after they moved in. The other one said the house was sinking, it's apparent that did not start lately. The other one said a tenant left tap on upstairs, and his room was flooded thereof and spoilt his laptop, you should blame the shylock Landlord too?

That landlord should try and give that house to a level headed individual or an estate company to manage since it's getting bad publicity...

Those that were complaining of using lamp in the afternoon, didn't they inspect the house before they moved in?..Is it not reasonable to assume that when another imposing building or a giant wall is next to your windows, it block visibility?

I know how some tenant's behaviour.. after their rent expires, they won't like to pay up like gentlemen and ladies that they are...My husband lost his job, children school fees, we haven't eaten for 2 days always their major excuses... When they see someone that can't stand their bullshit, they can't wait to disappear...

He should try and repair it.. work on the complaint on the ground floor of the building and hand it to someone with people management skills..If it's that building I saw on that pic, I think it's a lovely building..

You are right but in this case the landlord is a drug lord. That should cancel any view of yours because he can NEVER be sensible.

So sad for this country called Nigeria with no working system. That lardlord should still be in jail with all assets frozen instead he is still jumping up and down and still proud of himself as a law breaker. What a shame

I'm actually a lover of Wasiu Ayinde's songs. I listened to the music to the very end. It is quite disheartening that people like Akindele are being praised for the sake of the money and connection he has. That is the situation we found ourselves in this country, money or nothing else.

Someone needs to deal with all this Lagos People. They need strong hand. Reason why I fear a Lagos Presidency, it's just another avenue that will empower the Lagos elites.
Some body needs to show that mafia that they have a max. And they've reached and surpassed it. Something is wrong with their brains.

There is a reason why you inspect a house and ask questions from people on the street and even Co tenants before paying.


Its not that difficult to get that information in a place like Oworo, and yes there are people that seem untouchable like him even govt officials and police will not like his wahala maybe now its on Twitter the state go will look into it.

Besides people will still rent the house sef Some Lagosian's can live anywhere with their hard earned money.

Modified: aproko don carry me go Twitter, it's like half of Lagos has lived in that house, only one guy said he discovered landlords mumu button. grin grin

I can't imagine living in this place. Ah. How would you handle electricity bills? Water issues? Etc.? The last time I shared estimated bills with someone, I suffered ehn! And then I decided never to share bills with anyone, whether it is prepaid billing or postpaid.

Apart from landlord issues and act of thuggery, no individual can effectively manage the properly. It's just not possible. When you hear "Landlord is in charge" of a property with more than 50 tenants, run!!

As per landlord wahala, na hand never touch am. You don't deal with people like that by engaging them in physical combat. In fact, when they meet people that can match their wahala, they end up evicting such tenants. You only deal with them by ruining their reputation online. Also make sure you engage the Lagos state housing agency with your complaints. It takes less than 30 minutes to ruin a sinking property. cheesy
