From the above comments, I finally agree that ond Nigeria na scam. True true.

Unclebayo:
I’m a typical Yoruba guy but I don’t think this is necessary.
This is the type of people that’ll come to nairaland and start calling the whites “rac*st” for not giving them an apartment.

It's just envy and wickedness. I keep asking the question whether anyone has seen Igbos constituting nuisance in their community? But no meaningful reply.
They rather associate with those killing them in their farms and motor highways to a responsible Igbo man going about doing a legitimate business.

Na mumu day pay rent for lag when you can buy land cheaper in abakaliki or Kaduna

Is his choice
I know of a Yoruba man that build house in lagos around Oshodi he said No Igbo tenets , his reasons is that Igbo’s are taking over lagos and unfortunately most Yoruba”s that came couldn’t meet the payment terms and he had no choice than to give it out to Igbo’s.
It will clear the landlord when his tribe couldn’t afford the cost of his rent .
I rest my case

Is it that igbos are too domineering or they don't pay rent.

This is an interesting thread. Let me step right into the convo here.

I was listening to a property program on a well-known online radio station beaming from Victoria Island in Lagos 2 years ago and this topic of not renting to Ibos, unmarried men and ladies was discussed with a lawyer and a real estate agent as guests.

A male Ibo caller who was once a Lagos tenant but is now a property owner phoned in from the Lekki axis and stated how he too would NOT allow any Ibo person who is a TRADER and wants to rent a flat in his house because they tend to be uncouth and garrulous, they sometimes don't pay up on time, and last but not least, they have a bad habit of bringing in more people to stay with them in the rented house against the normal agreement with the Landlord and caretaker.

Second, another male Ibo caller phoned in to the live radio program and garrulously said on air that he lives in a house which he built in Lagos and that he would NEVER rent his house to a Yoruba. (I found it ridiculous that he would make that comment on a live radio about never renting to Yorubas while he's living right in Yorubaland, on leased land which he would have to return to the real Yoruba land owners at the end of the lease period while his so-called house would be demolished, and the land on which the house was built would be used for something else).

Third, a couple of callers who were of Yoruba descent also phoned in to say they rent their houses to Ibos and other ethnic groups, but another Yoruba guy who is also a landlord gave objective reasons why some Yoruba folks don't rent houses to some Ibos based on the VERY BAD past experiences from the Ibo tenants (especially those who have recently relocated from Iboland) who have an OVERBEARING attitude and are quarrelsome to the point of taking the landlords to court, and bringing in more than the required number of people to stay in the rented flat or house with the primary tenant. Some were also accused of secretly moving out of the rented houses without paying the balance of their house rents.


So, those are some of the specifics that CLEARLY show that the overbearing attitude and disrespect from some Ibos from the South East of Nigeria living in other parts of Nigeria such as in Lagos, Calabar and Abuja have led this rejection of Ibos from being taken in as tenants by some landlords thereby making things difficult for their other Ibo ethnic kinsmen who are searching for houses to rent.
