With that statement boldly written in Yoruba language, I can gladly say this story is fabricated.

You wrote the texts with a deep Yoruba intonation, yet you are asking us what it meant? Even a Yoruba person cannot write Yoruba with the miredo intonation you correctly used, yet you claim you don't understand what the Landlord meant.
you need download swiftkey keyboard app. I can literally type Yoruba so fluently without even understanding what I've written. Even my Yoruba friends often get confused at my dexterity in tyoing with àmì. Na swiftkey sir

Please can you use Swiftkey to type this for me ? First, do you understand Yoruba? If you don't, now use Swiftkey to type this for me.

This is a troublesome tenant with no regards for the elders.
How do you expect the landlord not to increase House rent when you have a salary increments ⁉️
Must landlord suffer because you want to maximize your opportunity with the new pay ❓
You'll understand when you become a home owner.

Except there was more to their relationship other than landlord-teneny, why should a tenant be questioning her landlord on why he increased the rent? It's his property and he can do whatever he likes with it. If you're not satisfied, you're within your rights to evacuate the property of you cannot meet up with the terms and conditions

Eeyah, sorry about your predicament. That is what happens, when some of you start shouting l cant live in a House where the landlord lives! grin grin
If your Landlord lives in that House, he will have no choice than to quickly fix that Borehole Pump because he needs Water as well.
But since it is a 'Tenant's Community', if you people like, leave it like that for One Year, na una problem. angry grin grin

How much does it cost to buy a New Borehole Pump, that all of you cant contribute and replace it immediately, instead of disturbing somebody abroad? grin
You think someone who lives Abroad, has time for the chicken-change you guys pay her as Rent?
All your Rent combined for three years, may not be more than Cost of living for One Month, where she lives.
Maybe she just have you guys in the House, so that it is not completely Empty but still collecting some change to cover the Cost of running the place and pay her Lawyer out of it.
You just assume plenty things in your mind and pour them out, lol 😂

So rent of 1.2 m is a chicken change for 3bed rooms? Just Dey play oo na as person hand reach he take Dey do things no need for hype

Landlords are problem.
The yorubad landlords are tribalistic and fetish.
You are advised to not live in the same house with them.
Apply extreme caution when looking for a house to rent.

So, from what 1 person said, you are saying an entire tribe is tribalistic.

You are Igbo and not tribalistic. Can an Ebonyi or Enugu man be Governor of Anambra?
Yes
I said what I said, and I’ve had too many experiences ( directly/indirectly) to conclude that y’all are tribalistic

If he pain you, say your own too

So the originator of that story is a Yoruba person? Or it is a mischievous post meant to cause ethnic disharmony?

I am so glad to read this.
You Igbos thought you have a monopoly of tribalism but Yorubas don give you hot hot, na so so cry una dey cry.

Yorubas are tribalistic but you are abandoning your Igboland and running into Yoruba land every day.
Your opinion suggests that you are a local champion,you hardly travel,probably your world starts in Iragbaji Osun state and ends in ikorodu in Lagos state.For your information Igbos are like the Chinese,indians or the Jews,we travel a lot,we explore new grounds,move to uncharted sea and oceans doing our businesses. You may think in your myopic mind that Igbos are only in Yoruba states or Lagos,Igbos are in their millions in the North,Niger Delta,China,US,UK,entire Europe, length and breadth of Asia,Australia,the great continent of Africa and world over.
That is the undying spirit of an igboman!

When you go to the market to buy commodities, do the sellers give you explanations as to why the prices tripped in the last two years? Abi Una think say bad government nor dey reach landlord side too.
You wan make landlord dey collect same rent where as in your own business, you have also increased your prices to balance with the economic realities in the country

On a serious note there is no justification for increasing house rents in a lot of low income neighborhoods….

Asaba is worse in house rent increment
Are you a landlord? If you are not, you may not be able to justify reasons some landlords increase their rents.

I'm a landlord and I have two tenants living in two of my flats in Lagos, I have a duplex for myself and family in front for my family whenever we are in Nigeria, but we only come to Nigeria like once in a couple of years, so I don't even know my tenants cos I never met them before.

I belong to the landlords whatshap group for the estate and I've been spending so much on the requirements in the estates. Road projects, transformer, garbage disposal, security fees, and lately survey plans for the entire estate. All of these were unforseen. I didn't just want the house to be empty, that was why I chose to have tenants, not for the money, I'm fine with the little I have.

Plus I spend on maintenance of the house all the time, I'm responsible for the cleaners that clean the entire place twice a month, painters fix where needs to be fixed, yet tenants only pay a flat fee once a year.

When these costs ok n my part are added up, I'm tempted to raise the rents for my tenants. Whoever can't afford the increments is free to move out. I don't even need the tenants no more, I prefer having no headaches with anyone, tenants included.

Ur case is very understandable….

But you don’t know what is happening in Asaba… Asaba particularly is Hell on earth… ask around if you doubt me…

My land is blind and almost 80 plus. He increased my rent over 50 percent because Local Government is grading the street. Pls is the landlord the ones paying for the road construction? Why increase rent because Govt is fixing roads. The evil u people are doing in Lagos will surely catch with you all. Same Landlord don't pay more than 5k on landuse charge for residential building.

What exactly is happening in Asaba? Like landlords don't fix anything on the streets or the house and suddenly raise rents for no reason?

If I tell you…. You might not believe me… I will advise you ask for yourself….

The main determine factor for raising rents in Asaba is because there are a lot of Yahoo boys who are ready to pay any amount for house rent…. Then move in with 10 or more of their friends
