Cheny00:
Hello Nairalanders,

I need your advice urgently.

I rented a self-contained apartment in Lagos, and my rent is valid until the end of October this year. Just recently, I was informed that the landlord has sold the house.

Now here’s what happened:
• They refunded half of my rent (without my prior agreement),
• And issued me a 3-month notice to vacate.

I never agreed to terminate my tenancy early or to receive a refund — they just gave me the money and served the notice. I feel like I’m being indirectly forced out before the agreed expiration date of my rent.

Please, I want to know:
1. Is this legal under Lagos tenancy law?
2. Can they harass or pressure me out of the house since it’s now sold?
3. What steps can I take if I want to stay until my rent expires in October?

I’ve heard that once rent is paid and acknowledged, even a new landlord must honour the agreement. Is this true?

Please, lawyers and those familiar with Lagos tenancy law, I’d appreciate your input. I don’t want to be bullied or treated unfairly and also 3 months is too short for me

Thanks in advance!

yes, you can only leave when your rent expire,and must be given at least six months to vacate.

In the country? Most of these kings not known outside their domain. Regular people have real world issues to deal with. RIP, Ogbagba II.

This one was different,he has something that attracted people to him

IBB007:
One the most loved monarchs in Nigeria…may his soul rest in peace

He was a rallying point to both the low and the high in the country.

eg mind your business, respect others too, less your talk, avoiding unnecessary gathering etc.

good.

* Don't poke nose into other people's affairs

* Don't go where you are not invited

* Don't give unsolicited advice

* Stop begging and be contented with what you have, improvise.

* Don't eat or drink more than your host

* Dress well, because you will be addressed the way you dress

Kobojunkie:
And it is for this reason that respect remains a scarce commodity in that country. Nobody is willing to earn it; Rather, everyone is trying to demand and cajole others into giving it to them.

Even those that have worked hard to be given respect doesn't gets it,

Could you give an example on things you do that will earn you respect

Kobojunkie:
What about the terrible parents of the past who raised the terrible children of the past who have now become mothers? Are they not [b]the elders of today[/b]whose grandchildren have no real regard or respect for?

It is easy to blame the current generation while conveniently ignoring the fact that the problem started long ago with those you consider your elders, the ones who failed to stand up for their rights as individuals and those of their children. Respect is best when earned, not demanded.

You don't earn respect in Nigeria, you demand it through various means

Evergreen4:
Finally, Jubril is back to Sudan.


Seun complete the remaining character

He has completed his assignment.

The deal is done.

Nigeria is a Cash cow to be milk by the slight opportunity

Succinctly put,a thought provoking and intelligent write up

Vision101:
So if I'm in PDP it's an offence to see me with someone that is in LP,. APC or ADC? Nigerian brand of politics get as ebi.

The leader of a political party is not supposed to dine and wine with leaders of another political party.

Especially with a traitor(Wike)

This is Nigeria

destinychildolu:
He wants to bribe Abure with billions to resign so Obi can go back to LP. They ruling party is not comfortable with Obi and Atiku combination

you made a valid point here

Wike has shifted his focus to labour party,since he had succeeded in destroying PDP

African leaders are so daft and irrational.

Burkina Faso that's fighting hunger and starvation

Is it a football pitch that is so important to the country. The country is not even among the top football playing nation in the continent

What a waste of resources, misplaced priority

Half of their citizens are outside their country begging on the streets just to survive and that's not a problem to their so called president or head of state

Is Africa cursed

NewHe:
So what should Tinubu do according to Atiku?
Or are we running a unitary system of government!

This is not about the type of economic system Nigeria is practicing.

Atiku said the removal of fuel subsidy brought so much hardship in the country.

All the promises made by the government to cushion it's effects like the increase in minimum wage were never fulfilled.

As you read this,many federal parastatals haven't received the promised minimum wage, infact some of them are owed three months salaries.

What is the government doing with the subsidy money plus external loan taken,crude oil sales,and all these new tax regime imposed on the masses.

Atiku want them to pay wages that can cushion the effects of the hardship brought about by the fuel subsidy removal and other wrong and ill timed policies

Chasito:
The ministry of interior Nigeria, announced that registration into its parastatals will commence tomorrow been Monday 14th July 2025.

Please I’m a young man of 25, i finished my Nysc last year and I’ve been looking for a job, so I came across a post few days ago about the recruitment into the following Parastatals :

Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS)

Nigeria Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC)

Nigeria Fire Service (NFS)

Nigerian Correctional Service (NCS)

But my main interest is between the Nigeria Civil Defence corps (NSCDC) and Nigeria Immigration service (NIS).
so please I need your honest review ,
Which of the job is better in terms of pay, good working environment, career enhancements and other benefits?

Nigeria immigration service has more prospect of growth and development.

And in terms of work hazards,the other three is far ahead of the first one

autoez:
Election wey never even near, una don dey troway punches. Abeg make una allow the people concentrate on their lives. Atiku that is talking is extremely wealthy and hasn't contributed to make even 100k people wealthy. Tinubu on the other hand has enriched many lives. Make the man rest abeg

That is one thing I will give to Tinubu,he had empowered many from south, west, east and north

NewHe:
Is it Tinubu that's paying all wages? Atiku you're ill informed!

Yes,any wage paid to federal civil servants is used by the private sector as a benchmark, including the states.

SalamRushdie:
Probably wet runway , a good landing is any landing everyone walks out safely

It means the aircraft tyres are worn out.

Air peace is among the safest airline in Nigeria.

They should step up their routine maintenance

The Light in the Dark Room

---
The night in Lagos was noisy as usual—generators humming, hawkers shouting, danfo buses honking—but inside Nonso’s apartment, it was silent. Too silent.
He lay on his back in bed, eyes wide open, battling the shame that seemed to crawl on his skin.

He had just fallen again.
Again.

His fingers still tingled from what he had done with his phone.
His conscience screamed.
His heart ached.

He turned to the wall and whispered, “God, why? Why can’t I stop this thing?”

Nonso had given his life to Christ two years earlier, during a crusade held in Surulere. He was the first in his family to truly pursue God. He joined the ushering department, even led prayers in youth meetings. On the outside, he looked like a model believer.

But deep inside, he was bound.

Ever since he stumbled upon pornography during secondary school through a friend’s memory card, it had become a silent chain around his life. What began as innocent curiosity turned into a late-night habit. Masturbation followed. Now, even after being born again, the temptation still returned—especially at night, especially when he was alone.

He had fasted. He had cried. He had even smashed an old phone once in anger.
Yet the struggle persisted.

That night, he scrolled mindlessly on Instagram until a short video caught his attention. It was a preacher’s voice:

“Your body is not a playground for lust. It is the temple of the Holy Ghost. Let the Word of God dwell richly in you, and you will overcome.”

Nonso froze.
That verse sounded familiar. He opened his Bible app and found it—1 John 2:14:

“…because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the wicked one.”

He read it again.

“You are strong... the Word abides in you… overcome the wicked one.”

Suddenly, it dawned on him.
He had been trying to fight the darkness without light.
He had tried emotions, fear, guilt—but never the daily discipline of letting God’s Word abide in him.

He whispered a new kind of prayer:
“Jesus, I’ve tried to stop on my own, but I need You. Let Your Word live in me. I surrender this struggle to You.”

From that day forward, Nonso changed his strategy.

He began each morning not with WhatsApp or news updates—but with the Bible.
He joined an online accountability group for young Christian men struggling with purity.
He filled his nights with worship instead of silence. He stopped feeding the flesh and began feeding his spirit

Some days were still hard. But something had shifted—his desire was changing.
The Word was working.

Weeks turned into months.

Then one evening, during a men’s fellowship gathering, the coordinator unexpectedly asked, “Who here has a testimony of deliverance?”

Nonso stood up slowly.

“My name is Nonso. I used to live a double life—holy on Sunday, bound in secret the rest of the week. But Jesus set me free. Not through fear or punishment—but through the power of His Word. I now live in the light, and the darkness has lost its grip.”

There was a holy silence in the room. Some men had tears in their eyes.

After the meeting, three young men approached him quietly. “Please,” one said, “can we talk? I’ve been fighting the same battle.”

And just like that, Nonso became a light for others—because he allowed the Word to live in him.

*Reflections:*

Addiction thrives in darkness, but the Word of God brings light. When you allow the Word to *abide* in you—not just visit—you gain power over every sinful habit. You are not alone. In Christ, you are strong, and you *have* overcome the wicked one.

*Purityland Confessions*:
I'm graced to live above the lust of the flesh and the eyes, in the Name of Jesus.

It's okay, you will outgrown it soonest.

It's just a phase

If you’ve ever used any loan app on your phone, you need to read this carefully. I got some crucial info to share today.

First, if the loan app you used isn’t on the list below, you might be in trouble down the line. This list includes only the loan apps that adhere to CBN directives, have verified physical offices, and are approved by the Central Bank of Nigeria:

1. Carbon


2. FairMoney


3. Branch


4. Renmoney


5. Aella



These guys are legit—you can even sue them if need be because they operate from an actual office and follow proper regulations.

But for the other loan apps, especially those not available on the Play Store and without a verifiable office address… watch out, bros and sis. By using those, you may have unknowingly submitted your personal information to shady operators.

Here’s what could happen:

Your BVN might be used to create virtual accounts that could be linked to money laundering or fraud.

You might end up with unknown accounts or loans taken in your name, with banks you’ve never even heard of!


So, if any of you suspect that you have been using one of these unapproved apps, I strongly advise you to visit your bank immediately. Get them to check all the accounts linked to your BVN via the NIBBS portal. Don’t wait for any kasala to burst—you need to know your status now.

Remember, ignorance of the law is no excuse!

Stay safe and share this with anyone using loan apps outside the approved list. Let’s help each other avoid unnecessary trouble.

This is not how to promote a business by running others down.

So among the hundreds of loan apps in Nigeria,these five are the only credible ones that are registered with CBN

You can do better, people in this forum are not fools

Rapmoney:
There is a bank called Bear-Bear Bank. This bank has been in existence since time immemorial. You cannot make withdrawal, but only deposits.

Bear-Bear Bank does not care how much money you have deposited in it; there is no cheque book or withdrawal slip. No debit card. Only deposit slips are provided.

The bank has sent many young men to their early graves. Some, it sent back to the village to start life from square one. The moment you stop depositing money in this bank, you lose your value, and you are seen as nobody anymore. It is a mobile back. Stop depositing and it moves to another customer immediately.

Do you think it is worthy to sacrifice what you are labouring for just to deposit in this bank that will not give you any return on investment? (ROI)

Where is the bank located😄do they have branch offices lol

This is Awara nau. 50 naira per piece. I buy 1k own.

I think it's quite common in the northern part of the country

Nwanyiogwashi:
Omo Agege is done deal 🤝 PDP and okowa miscalculated this time by joining APC
Welcome to ADC senator Omo Agege

Wait for announcement APC can never win Delta state come 2027

Has Omo Agege decamped to ADC .

ADC was formed to unseat the present administration and not for the states.

Having said that, there's no vacancy in Osadebey house come 2027 as Sheriff oborevwori will win his second term so as to continue the good work .

Everyone is seeing the massive infrastructural development going on across the state.

Omo age should go back to the Senate

Your own state is also cosmopolitan city.

no,I live in the village

esnbrutality:
Tuchel meeting na camouflage. Shettima was in London, Sanusi is in London. Body Double 'BUHARI' is in LONDON. UK is the colonial father of the North and Tinubu is a friend of their rivals FRANCE.

Make we dey see home video

Good, you are connecting the dots.

Something is fishing

Can't these traditional rulers stay in their domain and give themselves and the traditional institution some regards and respect.

To make it worse,this is a first class traditional ruler in Nigeria.

They have chiefs and aids they can send on errands.

That was why the oba of Benin is highly revered

Eniitankorede:
Then the people over there are unfriendly and not accommodating others. And yet they want others to accommodate them in foreign lands.

Being a cosmopolitan city has nothing to do with hospitality or unfriendliness of the people

madridguy:
Kano and Borno are also cosmopolitan and I've never seen your people meddled with their elections.

mr.man, I am not Ibo,I am a detribalized Nigerian

TechBoss65:
One of my brothers made a post yesterday that hit deeper than most realize. He simply emphasized how lawyers are transiting "From Wig to Skit: A Silent Crisis in the Legal Profession".

He said, “5,000+ called to bar… get ready for more content creators.”

We laughed. But I couldn’t shake off the weight of it.
Because underneath that joke is a crisis—one that we’re all pretending not to see.

In a country where it takes 7–8 years (and sometimes more) to become a lawyer, it's tragic that many of our brightest legal minds are abandoning the courtrooms and contracts for comedy skits and influencer deals.

It’s not that content creation is wrong—far from it. But when the system is so broken that people invest close to a decade in education only to pivot into trends that require none of that training, we need to pause and ask:

What are we doing to the profession?
What are we doing to justice?
What are we doing to society?

Even worse, we now face another dilemma—people with criminal intent earning legal badges. Not to uphold the law, but to hide behind it.
When law loses its honour, society loses its compass.

But here’s the shift I want to encourage:
Instead of throwing your law degree into the ocean of virality, how about pouring it into innovation?

LawTech.

JusticeTech.

Legal operations.

Contract automation.

Rights protection platforms.

Case management systems.

There’s so much to build, so much to fix.

If you're a legal professional with an idea—or if you want to explore how to apply your legal knowledge in the tech, civic, or impact space—let’s talk.

I’m passionate about helping people turn ideas into real, scalable solutions.
Africa doesn’t just need more lawyers or more content.
It needs legal builders and justice innovators.

Your law degree is not a waste. Let’s put it to work.
