Lol.

Still wonder how a person takes up accommodation in a place without windows, with their two eyes open. Unless these people are lying.
Exactly my point. People just follow what is trending without asking questions.

Mainland, aside from Ikeja, Magodo, Ojodu-Berger, Festac and a few places in Surulere, is just disgusting. The day I mistakenly went to Mushin, I swore never to visit there again embarassed

Lagos State government is rich. Demolish and rebuild all these places to give the state a decent look.
You are very wrong with this statement.
Even places like ketu and ikorodu have nice and superb places to live.
Maryland, Antony, Yaba, Ogudu, and Costain are are even better and more fantastic than some places in the island.
Lagos as a state and also as a city have a lot of uncontained potentials!
It is inauspicious that some unfortunate elements, in line with the bad leadership of Nigeria, are leading Lagos.
That alone detracts a lot from his ability to be in alignement with other great cities of the world.

This one pass Lagos matter o. My heart just dey beat fast as I was reading comments. This is tyranny. On top person money? I wonder what is the catch because I would instantly be turned off by a house with numerous flats like say na barracks or university off-campus lodge.

Finally pictures of the wonderful landlord below.
This shows you probably have not lived overseas!
Out there, houses are mostly in large buildings bigger than the aforementioned!
Even in exclusive areas you would prefer, in Nigeria especially Lagos, have houses in such large sizes.
With higher exposure in life, you get to tailor your preferencs and principles adequately.

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.
You were too curt and outspoken with the truth, and some amoral, and unpleasant individuals might negatively call you out.
How does one survive in such a badly unpleasant country?
The country lacks promising hopes.
That is why those that could have made a positive difference still join the bad trend especially on the issue of local and foreign fraud.
Even the law agents are worse.
Most times, it is a big disservice to be born in this country to less privileged parents surrounded by ambitiousless individuals.

Seems like no regulations exist in that area. Hopefully everyone living there will not renew their rent. Pack out at the end of the year and let him eat his house.

Mr Overseas, I am talking of Nigeria and yes, I would never live in a house with over 100 flats IN NIGERIA. The management, regulation and everything is different. When we reach your overseas, we can do that. Here in Nigeria, it is not advisable.

So what exactly makes people pay for the house. We talking 350k here. Why would anyone pay 350k for a room without windows? They saw these things you saw. I read he doesn’t sign agreement with his tenants. He is very cheerful and friendly until you pay, then he turns into Godzilla. grin

350k is not even such a cheap accommodation. Or am I missing something?

That is too hostile and belligerent with a lot of unnecessary, negative tribalism.
You should have allowed him to list the reasons for his revolting statement. Then you compare it with his choicest or probably his most indigenous state for clear distinction.

Tribalism you said...I don't even know her tribe.

My own case is even worse, I rented this mini flat in Ijegun last year for 150k, even though the rooms are small, but I was happy because the money was small compared to the comfort I thought I will enjoy afterwards,. Mehn, as the matter dey now, na snake, scorpion, rats, ants and mosquitoes I dey battle with daily. Funniest thing b say, I pay for 2 years

Just soak the immediate environment with kerosene laced with two packs of that pesticide popularly known as Sniper. Our crawling neighbours abhor the smell. Keep everywhere clear.

Warning : Be careful with the sniper because Buhari's mishandling of Nigeria can make it look like a beverage. Strong caution please. .

There was this fine apartment they took me to then. As I put one leg, I saw these boys with slippers and socks. I looked one side and saw their Lexus. Naso I turn back immediately. Ojuwa oni ribi o!

GloriousGbola:


This country is a literal jungle and you have to learn to pick your battles.

Most of these people are high level political thugs who provide critical support during elections. So they are basically allowed to do whatever

Some are people who have ties or favors to senior politicians

And this is Nigeria where every official or his superior can be bought.

Look at the Ikoyi building collapse. There was a highly publicised arrest and shutdown of the site. Yet after all the dust settled construction continued without approvals.

This is really the best that can be done. Alert people so no one with sense goes there. He can turn the building to short time for agberos.

I sha know Nigerians are perpetually complex and contradictory people.

So much hot air, so much brags, so much shouts and loud mouth and agbari and threats and pride in traditional and spiritual higher powers and arrows, yet the country is a bumbling pool of human rights abuse and no one can do anything.

They can threaten and beef "car-owner and jollof-eating" innocent fellow neighbours, but to channel that energy to people that actually oppress them, they won't.

Like this David guy used to say, there is no elite class in Nigeria, because it is only in Nigeria that people who have money will still be receiving the same ill-treatment as paupers. Their monies can only get them so far and a few luxuries. Because I'm sure the people that stays in that same Ikoyi have money or vested interest in that building. Or maybe its crashing would negatively affect them, somehow, but here we are.

See that Syl's father too of Dowen. Wo.

Lolololol. I am laughing because I almost rented an apartment in this house when I was desperately in need of a house. When I visited the place, the free room they showed me at the extremely end was already sinking. I could not stood straight inside the room because the entire three storey building is already sinking from that angle.

Lagos statement government should please interfere in this issue and mark the house for demolition before a lot of people will lost their lives.

This building cannot escape collapsing. I predict two to three years from now.
And people still lives there?if they die na the fault be that!Mi I say na their fault be that!!

That is Akindele a.k.a ile-eru mini estate in oworonshoki. I could remember him very well when I still live in oworonshoki, there is a scenerio that happens between him & the king's palace. And he vow to burn the palace, bring in isale-eko area boys to destroy the palace, if not for intervention of big men in Lagos & govt the palace might have gone.

It was a real war then in oworo, infact my mum's shop is what saved like two or three of the king's people. They quickly found their way into my mum's shop but one of the guys lost like two, three teeth that day, my mum has food carteen close to the council then I was inside the shop that very day. So scared & young then.
He has many antecedent back then
