What we don't understand in this country is that the more we keep encouraging bad behaviors and attributes be it from leadership or followership, the more we will continue to experience the kind of anomalies we facing now.

When we encourage thugs as presidents, governors or in any public leadership positions, the way Nigeria is is what we will keep experiencing. Same for followership, we keep accepting vices and immorality all in the name of civilization, bad leadership becomes even more certain and Nigeria will continue to prevail in every negative indices known to man.

So keep encouraging escort and runs girls, keep encouraging yahoo yahoo and scammers, there is no time we won't eventually vote thugs and thieves into power. Las las, everybody go chop breakfast.

Cost of cement now na war… I told my guy. Building a room and parlor in 4 flats will consume 15m. With pop and tiles. Running water inclusive. It will take the landlord an average of 15 years to recover the money spent.

2020 cement na 2500, today na 4500. That is just 2 years interval. People can’t afford to build houses again. The few standard ones available cost much and unaffordable. It’s just poor standard of living.

The only menace I think government should intervene is the added money from agents. The house the landlord is letting out at 250k, you will end up paying 350k. That 100k is much.





Let’s blame poverty in the land.
Instead for the civil Servant to face the government that impoverished them dey are shouting yahoo boy , idi sell building materials, in 2020 a bundle of roofing sheet is 14k now it cost around 44k , cement is now 4500 upward , rod price don Skyrocket, food prices , fuel and transportation definitely house rent will increase. Instead make we face the reality on ground , we are chasing shadows

Landlords giving their houses to yahoo boy are doing so at their own peril. Most of them can't service their rent for more than 3 years, story go enter.

Omoapena:



They are the ones that influence most house rent,

They mostly rent those new houses for like 1year or 2 years and leave, sometimes, I feel they are doing something in those houses and once they are done, they move to next..

Have you ever wondered why yahoo boy are always taking new hotel rooms for like 3months or 6 months and they move to another new hotel, they have shifted it to taking apartments instead of hotel and stay there for short period and move to another..

Yahoo boys live in hotel? Have you lived around those guys or what you're saying is based on hearsay? The majority of them don't even make enough to sustain themselves.

When they rent, they live in 3's, 4's, 5's. Their houses are more of refugee camps than houses. You can find six guys in a two bedroom apartment. One will have a room to himself since he's their boss while the rest share the other room. Most of them even sleep in the sitting room.

Their effect on the price of houses is nonexistent. It is a rumor that they don't price. They do. The only thing is that when they make money, they tend to flock to an area. But again, their effect on the rent on houses in that area is minimal.

The article would've made sense if it blamed tech guys for increasing rent esp. in the Yaba/Ogba axis. Those ones have money to spend, so their presence forces landlords to upgrade their homes and rent them at higher prices. But like the Yahoo boys, the effect of tech guys on rent is also minimal. It isn't like Nigeria is flocking with tech guys.

The increase in rent has more to do with the horrible state of the economy than anything.

I know many ran into money during COVID but how many of them even sustain their wealth? Eat chicken and chips today, eat garri and beans tomorrow. Is that not the kind of life that they live? Ask any of them, they'll tell you Yahoo is hard. They barely make anything these days. Many make money from cards but what difference does a $100 Amazon card make?

Jealous of criminal? You must be one of them no doubt. Let me give you a message to your fellow criminals. No same person will be jealous of a known cyber fraud. Never!! If the criminal owns an estate and drives sophisticated cars, that doesn't move me or any sane person out there. If people are jealous as you claimed they would join them in the dirty work. It is one of the easiest and fastest way to make money

We chose to follow the right path and aren't desperate to make wealth at all cost unlike you guys. There's nothing to be jealous about you guys because we truly know your source of money which we don't pray to be part of it

Imagine a money rituals with huge amounts of wealth, houses, cars et al. Please tell me what is there to be jealous about it?


Cheers!!!
Bro/Sis I come in Peace before you also brand me as a Yahoo person.
He talked about inflation, higher cost of living compared to before and bad economic situation of the country; the only thing you could pick out was “jealousy”.
If you are a trader, there’s no way the items you sell now will cost the same price 4years ago.
We Nigerians are always apt to finding unnecessary faults with things that are unrelated.
Frankly, it is despicable to think that the so called Yahoo boys are the reason for increase in prices of rent and I’m just saying the very least. Biko change your mentality.

This is lazy journalism. In this same Nigeria, food prices, fuel prices even POS charges has skyrocketed in the past few months. Yet, this article will rather divert the blame to a frivolous reason than admit that rent will also increase when every other price increases.

It's articles like this that make people think Nigeria is a fraud hub. Places with the actual fraud boys are not blaming so called "G boys" for rent increase.
Talking about Nigeria you talking non smoker

Sukkyy2010:

You had made a very wise decision, to whom that want to grow financially must prioritize keeping expenses minimal over your income. Take my case for instance, being a single guy that I am, I never felt any need to rent a flat apartment even though I can afford one base on my monthly income. I decided to opt for a room apartment that cost me 4k monthly approximately 48k annually. This decision have being saving me alot of money annually aside the stressless and comfort feeling I always have each everytime my rent is due for renewal, I always renew my rent stresslessly.
That's good, me I don't like staying in a rented apartment for long( have been here for 2years now) once am done with my own place (with the help of almighty God) I will park out.

Am I the only one that thinks there should be a regulatory body houses being rented ...

If there is one and houses get rented through the body prices will be regulated too.

Anyone not registered to the body will be marked private house and will face court if proven otherwise.

Government didn't build for you but they gave you land they can take it too if you make their City unlivable..that is the power government has refused to use....this leads to either poor standard of living or very high number of people living under cover range in the econometrics

God bless you. Na only you get sense for this forum. Others are talking BS.
