Re: The Nigerian City With The Most Outrageous Accommodation Fees by Nobody: 6:57am On Aug 14, 2023
This is why the Igbo will not rise again. Agricultural land is so expensive in the region also. Yakubu Gowon won Biafra because they weren't producing their food, and to date, they have not learned their lesson. Before the war, they import food from Calabar and Akwa Ibom, and the moment Gowon cut off the region, they lost the war. One would think they are ready.

How will Enugu develop when services involved in renting houses are high? They made the rents look affordable probably because the state government regulates it but they still found a way around it to collect more and more. Not funny. Yet, they say they want to rule Nigeria. Honestly, I am frustrated by Igbo's way of life. Can't they save their land before coming to save Nigeria that is still ok then their land?

Perhaps Yoruba, Hausa, and Fulani are the ones that have made their land so expensive because they like blaming others for their doings. Wow!!!

Only Government can intervene

But govt sef are worse

You'll be amazed some landlords without agent
Collect full 100k
No lawyer
Still collect 100k
No nothing in the house
Still collect 50k

In my presence in lagos
Even the agent that took us to the house

Out of the extra 250k

Na 30k landlord gave the 2 of them said they should manage it

Agents now asking us to add something for them

Govt needs to check these landlords

And developers especially
In all of these, nobody remembered to add that a bag of cement is currently sold within 5,700 and 6000 (still fluctuating) a piece of iron is within 6700 and above 9000 according to their sizes, building materials generally is soaring very very high on daily basis, what about price of land in most of these cities that are not smiling at all, the people and government should first looked into those areas before looking towards the landlords, real estate is a business just like others businesses, they are not a charity organizations, they all want to make profits too, even though it takes a landlord several yrs(more than a decade) to cover up is expenses

Hmmmm!!! The places you mentioned are not planned and beside no constant power supply.

I visited a friend at Karmo and i felt bad; Gwagwa and Karmo are within the same route. I personally will prefer Life Camp to these places you mentioned.

Exactly my experience, I had to still give the agent #5k after paying 300k agency, agreement and caution fee to the landlord, this is almost 40% of the rent.

They need to be regulated honestly!!!!
Agents are bad

But the landlords are the real devil evil people


How can you collect such huge amount and give pennies to the owner of the commission

Collect 100k for Agreement no lawyer atall

Caution fee and you'll still be the one to complete some structures in the house yourself

A lawless country

What happend to 10% of the rent for commission
They collect upto 50% or 70% sometimes extra

Seems you're part of the developers

So because its high

Is it not the same cement the people in ikorodu are buying

Or those in far distance

There rent is almost 1/10 of what you people collect in the city

All in the name of location

And it's in a busy area

Understandable

But most you people rarely give room for any slight negotiations

To remove 5k they won't
Let alone reduce any amount from the total to accommodate new tenants

They want to gain all the money used to build the house

Under 3yrs max

I just look at those renting developers house in this lagos

If I see a new house and I ask

Is it the landlord that built it itself
I will rent

If na developer
I run no matter the gimmick
Because as you rightly said na for profit and you can never negotiate or be flexible on renewal of rent for next year that's is they don't increase it by 100k next year and ask uou to pack out because they want to collect another 100k. 100k

They use substantial materials and house starts peeling under 6months after collecting 500k each from 26 rooms

It's not even their choice, insecurity can cause it, political engineering, competition in same village will instigate migration and force people to seek greener pasture, a whole lot is happening deliberately and many people won't even know until they fall into that trap.

See the way e easy for your mouth angry

How many young graduates don buy land

You fit help us buy abeg
To me, regardless of the city you work or live, if you’re paying house rent of 500k/1m , there’s nothing bad if you have your own land even if you’re yet to develop it.


Every city has developing area in Nigeria , even Lagos( ikd,bdg) you’ll still see a piece of land for 1m, it’s not a must for you to live at the city center especially if your kind of job doesn’t REALLY demand it. Infact in Ibadan, you’ll still see a plot of land in a developing but viable location for 700k.

One guy just bought a plot of land with his 800k savings , total package three days ago, he wanted to rent new apartee with the money, I told him not to, I said ‘ if you can’t run business with the money , then buy a land ‘

If you can come up with 500k house rent, you should be able to afford 1m land, even if na to pay twice.. na wetin person no search for him no go see !.


I have a friend who just renewed his house rent at ajah , almost 2m naira and this chap doesn’t own a plot of land. He’s been living there for 3 years, in his word ‘ he wants to buy house in lekki’. He’ll be running helter skelter any time rent is due .
Question is what if it doesn’t work out at the end? What will you fall back to.

Nigeria is hard, but person must be extremely wise and frugal with the little you earn in other to survive.
