The reality is that building a house for rent is merely a humanitarian act and not really for business.
Landlords should be appreciated anywhere.

True, because all these people being unreasonable to the hardship of landlords cannot agree to keep their own monies without recouping it for that long.

kernniejay:
So, because he has not recouped his initial investment since after 30 years, he should wake up one day and start thinking of how he will recoup all his investment on his few tenants within a year? Have you heard anything called long-term investment?

No, but I have heard about long term hunger.

gidgiddy:
Enugu residents abandoned Tinubu and his visit, nobody even came out on the streets to cheer his visit

I'm just glad Tinubu came and left. He is neither liked nor welcome in Enugu

This morning when some of were telling people Tinubu was in Enugu, everyone doubted it. Everything was normal as if nobody came.

Does the slowpoke not know that as soon as the landlord communicates the amount of rent he wants negotiations have begun?

Is it the tenant before that would ask for rent to be increased, especially as rents never go down but up?

So what unlawfulness or illegality is he talking about?

You mean the Chidi Lyord kind planking that year?

free2ryhme:
There are security details always with just that they aint videoed.

In Nigeria, no matter how you try to dodge them, you will see about 357 and half Dss and army men on every 3 seconds of video, they will even drive an MRAP and fly a helicopter into the woods to provide cover for him

I miss my friend helinues, maybe he went to church?

Things are so hard under this tinubulation, anything to find free plate of food is okay.

Fearyourcreator:
Some of are just dumb, so same house for sale will worth how much after 30years ... After collecting rent for 30years also ... Thieves , earning in two ways .

Build your own house, stop disturbing landlords.

If its Tinubu, there will be more dss and army than there are trees.

Anyway he won't even go into the woods, French hospitals have more comfort.

Buckeymedia, hope your day is going good?

That will be fine, However, we will start protests as soon as it crashes to the #87 naira Jonathan was selling fuel before Tinubu started to protest.

The target of this administration should be #40 naira for a litre, else, he is a resounding failure.

If it's TRUE, kudos to them.

But we know that peace in southeast has always been there. It's a calm region of peaceful people despite what rubbish the propaganda mills are reporting.

Everyone and their dogs know that, the only question would be what the money saved will be used for.

While some other presidential candidates would have used the savings to create an undying economic legacy for Nigeria which will help our youths and companies and institutions to grow, Nigerians are crying now because this particular administration has only people with a track record of wastage.

The savings will be mostly enjoyed by French hospital management and London property merchants.

I won't respond to your mentions, I wan go church.

nedekid:
I think you should reconfirm from your dad, there is no way he will currently be increasing rent as you said. He probably did as you said years ago when the naira was stable. Remember under the 16 years of Pdp before the current locust apc came in, naira was between 90 to 150. It only went to 200 because of elections of which it would have returned to 150. But now, within 9 years of which the worse has happened in the lats 1.5 years of Tinubu from 700 he met it to 1700!.
A can of rambo insecticide I use to buy for 980 early last year is now N4400. A liter of petrol is 1k from 180 early last year. Your landlords suv chops like 80k weekly. Truth of the matter is that even to maintain his house not to talk of taking care of himself and family (as that may be his source of income) he has to increase rent to survive.
In this situation, your best bet is to maximise your advantage. Your dad is a landlord, it will be better you get an apartment in one of his houses, consolidate your finances to build your place to move into.
As you know, most aged people have no social security as you have in eg UK where you are pensionable. Here you provide your own pension ie though property you own in which case rent must increase with inflation.
Government ought to build mass housing to be rented out or sold at subsidized rate. You hear of 10b recently allocated by fct for Akpabio and his deputies rent/accommodation. You hear of how much spent on cars for office of oga at the top, you hear of money for jet, enough to build hundreds of thousands of housing units. You hear them buy 1 bullet proof jeep for 700m.

My dad was collecting N250k per flat in 2014, back then a bag of rice was selling for around 8k. We can buy up to 30 bags of rice with just one flat payment.

Today, my dad is still collecting N400k after having physical and verbal wars with all the tenants, sometimes it will seem like they are threatening him with spiritual attacks.

Today, 400k only buys him 4 bags of rice with change for transportation.

What a world!

And someone will be here to talk to landlords.

Mitsurugi:
Then let him sell the house nau!

And you get another landlord and he might be worse.

Ebubu6:
yes

Thank you. Why did you build your house?

udemzyudex:
This is stupid question to ask, go and ask your grandfather.

If you don't apologise, you may never be one. Please apologise.

Village sweet sha

Ebubu6:
Landlord is not for quick returns, it is meant to be used to collect loans from banks, and to also leave the bone for your children to suckle on for the next 300 years.

Thats not the business to do for a quick return, remove your eye from there. If you want quick return, go to daily buy and sale business.

A you a landlord?

udemzyudex:
For house wey be say some of them na their papa or mama build am.

missionmex:
For a house you can still sell and make almost two to three times what you invested in it after collecting so much from rent. Na still the landlord house o!

Are you a landlord?

Urheadmaster:
My life not the issue.

If any igbo man will be president in Nigeria, Obi can not be the one.

Wetin concern me. Survive T shege first

givedemwotowoto:
They also supported OBJ, GEJ and Yar’adua, the only presidents who ever made progress on Nigeria’s economy from 1999 till date

They also warned Nigerians not to vote Buharri and tpain, the most destructive presidents in African history.

EyeCumInPiece:
Still far better than a KNOWN DRUG LORD.

Reno reserved the worst badmouth for baba

Baba has sworn that Reno will never smell any government appointment, even toilet cleaner sef

Peter Obi is getting more powerful, slapping Reno out of bed this night is a show of force.

Let me help you Akin, let me interpret the whole words for you.

Akuko means story
Ifo means fantasy or fables
Egwu means singing, dancing or song or play or playing
Onwa means moonlight

So, Akukoifo means fantasy storytelling, especially during the moonlight
And egwu onwa means "playing under the moonlight"

I am sure you know an NTA programme by that name, I am sure you know that its women that tell the stories in that program, and she tells it to small children.

That's where the program originated from.

Akinpedia:
Rituals can also be interpreted as Beliefs...

"Spiritual Connection: The Akukoifo dance is often performed during rituals to honour ancestors or deities. It symbolizes a connection between the physical and spiritual worlds, allowing participants to seek blessings and guidance from higher powers."

This bold portion is what I extracted from your first post. Now when you place this side by side by the rituals you posted, then it becomes a negative ritual that has nothing to do with kids. It's not belief that can be used in another context as ritual.

Your writing is wrong, what you described is neither Akukoifo nor egwu onwa. No rituals, deities, ancestors or spiritual powers are involved.

Please correct the write up. Thanks.

I am an Igbo person and have been participating in Akukoifo and egwu onwa as a little child, it's a children thing, adults that participate are mainly women, especially married women, and newly married women even.

Akukoifo is a source of culture transfer, where the newly married woman in a compound will be hosting small children of her new home in story telling to lull them to sleep, stories like lion and tortise stories with children listening intently and singing the chorus when needed.

Egwu onwa is just a hide and seek game played by children inside their compounds at night. Usually with neighbouring children. A way of bonding and making fun, showing sports ability and hiding trickery. We can dance or play hide and seek or just run around till everyone feels sleepy.

I have never seen or ever heard that even kolanut is broken in these playful times, men dont even participate in it, its usually the children, and women who tell the stories to the children. I don't know where Akin got his rituals and deities angle from, but definitely not from the east.

Igboland is a very enjoyable place before education and travel started pushing people to travel too much.

Akin, I have never seen this kind of illiteracy and ignorance as the one you displayed above. Everything is rituals and deities to your people to the extent that you will associate our own harmless Akukoifo and egwu onwa to your ritual practices?

God help your thinking and save us from these kinds of people sharing the same country with us.

Gryffindor:
Sullivan did well

Not on this level. Not within 2 years.

Brenbentondiaz:
He'd sure want to learn the magic being performed by SE govs that makes their citizens flee their region in droves to other regions in night buses.

Are you saying Nigeria citizens dont flee Nigeria, in east they flee by night buses, nigerians flee on foot, across the Sahara and even swim across many rivers, your here talking about night luxury buses

Babangidapikin:
You want him to come to Anambra right ? One Good thing coming out of Anambra is there Billionaire Dibia's .. But there is one I like very much, his teachings ,makes a lot of sense ..

Dibias in Anambra are billionaires, and they even teach people good lessons? Better.

In some states, they cut heads and are still poor

Ebubu6:
Tinubu has never visited Anambra

Buhari never visited Ananbra.

Last time was Goodluck.

Anambra is getting relegated in South East politics.

It's now Imo, Ebonyi, Enugu.


Obi will even get less votes in 2027 in South East than what he got in 2023 from South East as things are ongoing.


Anambra the worthless tooth of the South East.

The real dot

So.mamy dumb tribal bigots pushing stupid narratives on nairaland because the forum promotes tribalism.

Buhari visited Anambra in 2019 to commission Zik maseuleum, that was when we criticized him heavily for not going by road because the Federal express was impassable, very bad road that was abandoned by the FG. If he tried go by road, potholes that will impact on his tyres will bend his fragile spine

The baba landed in Enugu and was airlifted by a chopper to Anambra to do the commissioning.

What will a president go and commission in Anambra, the 10 lane road built by Peter Obi in 2010?
