Geez! im been kicked to the curb!

So my landlord in Abuja decided that since the rent in the city was skyrocketing, and after having me as a tenant for three years it was time for me to hit the road! Damn ! was I pissed or was I pissed ! I've been house hunting for the past month and I can say that I am gravely disappointed by the insult some individuals call accommodation! There is no comparison with regards to quality, style, cleanliness, Oh Cleanliness!- well lets not go there now! Its a disgrace that will all the hype about Abuja being a modern city its merely a whitewashed slum waiting to bust from the sims !
Aha ! lest I forget my brothers and sisters that are the "agents" are only trying to sweet talk you into getting what you don't want or even want to set eyes on. Then the small houses that they call "Estates"? Drago (my dog) has better accommodation than most of what is offered here. Yeah yeah, you get the proverbial lawn (Oh No) interlocking blocks and white corrugated fence but that's about all you get! the all en-suites seem more like all unsure! I walked into this place in Maitama and loudly declared that although this was Maitama,anyone that lived here should consider themselves unlucky and terribly cheated. The name of an area or section of town should not determine what the rent in that area should go for rather the amenities provided, the atmosphere created and the strength and quality of construction. I do understand that all cannot be perfect and some will say if you complain so much why don't you go build your own! Well great argument! But if one cannot afford to build, should one then compromise for comfort by accepting crap as living quarters? I don't believe so. Compromise is a rule of life but also getting your money's worth also ought to be in the sphere of life too !
Lastly, who even created this 2 year rule for rent ! Of all the cities that I have lived in, Nigerian cities are the first to ever offer 2 Year upfront rent as prerequisites. How many people can say they know for sure that in the next 24months they will be alive? OK even if you are sure of that, in an economy where nothing (not even the price of cold bottled water) is predictable or can be estimated with the best economic models, greed supersedes policy that citizens expect of responsible Government !

Geez! disappointment in Nigeria is an understatement!
