My State of residence has been one of the most expensive cost of living states in the country (Nigeria).
I am making this thread after been overwhelmed about how students are being frustrated over high cost of house rents.
This is the latest evil in town; landlords in connivance with greedy agents have decided to push people out of their homes to live under bridge. They have decided to pour all their frustration on tenants by doubling the cost of rent amidst this excruciating economic condition. At this rate, people will only work to be able to pay rent and nothing more. Wahala for those of us wey never build house o. Now as your rent due date dey near, na so so vex you go dey vex. The misery of people have just been intensified by this latest woe that is sweeping across the state.... Port Harcourt in particular.
Apart from the greed of the Landlords and house agents. Most student are willing to pay whatever amount they are being told to pay. These people see students are the richest and are the people they can easily extort money from. This is because of the percentage of student that are involve in scams are much greater. Students leave more lavish than family or non-student. I will not blame the landlord I blame the government because there is no regulation of government that are in charge of these kind of things. Also, I blame other person s who have the money to pay whatever the cost. Because their lavish attitude has affected other student that do not have enough. I could remember when I was in search of an apartment last year, the house agents said if I don't have that amount to pay that there are lot persons who will pay for it.
