Landlord Wants To Evict Me For Parking 3 Cars In Compound – Nigerian Man Cries
In a repost by the popular social media blogger, @instablog9ja, a young Nigerian named “Atanda Olátúnjí” made a post seeking the opinions of netizens.
In his words(see post here):
“My Landlord wants to evict me because I have 3 cars. He said that I have occupied the whole space in the compound.
“But these cars are used for my business, ‘cos I hire them out to guys using them for Uber and they come to pick them in the morning and return them in the night.
“What can I do?
“Seems the landlord does not want growth and success for his tenants.”

From the comments section.”
While this might seem like a big deal to people not familiar with the workings of many big cities, this situation is not unusual for people who live in cities like Lagos where every land mass is massively maximized for profit.
In the case of Albert, he believes that the landlord does not want his growth.
However, netizens were quick to point out the fault in his logic. Some wondered how a man with three cars would have no house of his own while others pointed at the fact that the house was a residential apartment not for business.
“If all the tenants parked three cars each, would he find room to park in the first place?’ some queried.
Meanwhile, some people who understand that the cars were for business suggested that he should get a car park, so as to not be a cause of inconvenience to others.

The Social Democratic Party (SDP) and the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) have disclosed details of their recent closed-door meeting with President Bola Tinubu, explaining that the engagement focused on strengthening Nigeria’s democratic process ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The clarification came amid speculation surrounding the meeting, which took place at the Presidential Villa in Abuja after leaders of several opposition parties attended an Iftar dinner hosted by the president earlier in the week.

Speaking during a gathering hosted in Abuja by the SDP’s former presidential candidate, Adewole Adebayo on Friday, the party’s National Chairman, Prof. Sadiq Gombe, said the meeting with Tinubu followed an official invitation from the Presidency and lasted about an hour.
According to Gombe, the discussion centred on the need to strengthen Nigeria’s electoral laws and restore public confidence in the country’s electoral process ahead of the 2027 polls.
He explained that the meeting provided an opportunity for party leaders to remind the president of the importance of conducting transparent, free, and credible elections.
Gombe noted that democracy can only thrive when governments listen to the concerns of citizens and ensure electoral processes that guarantee fairness and accountability.
The SDP chairman also expressed concern over growing voter apathy, pointing to the low turnout recorded in the recent Area Council election in the Federal Capital Territory.
He said the Abuja Municipal Area Council election witnessed only about seven per cent voter turnout, which he described as a clear sign that many Nigerians are losing confidence in the electoral system.
Gombe urged the government and members of the National Assembly to take urgent steps to review electoral laws and rebuild public trust in Nigeria’s democracy.
Also speaking, the National Chairman of IPAC, Dr. Yusuf Dantalle, said political parties used the meeting to raise concerns about aspects of proposed electoral reforms, particularly issues related to indirect primaries and the mandatory electronic transmission of results.
Dantalle explained that the parties appealed to the president to use his influence to encourage legislative review where necessary, noting that reforms should strengthen, rather than complicate, the democratic process.
He expressed optimism that Tinubu would consider the concerns raised and support necessary amendments that would improve the electoral system.
The IPAC chairman also called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to strictly adhere to electoral guidelines as preparations for the next election cycle begin.
Earlier in his remarks, Adebayo cautioned political actors against turning the 2027 general elections into a do-or-die contest, stressing that the primary goal of democracy should be the progress and stability of Nigeria rather than personal political victories.
He urged leaders across political parties to encourage citizens to actively participate in the democratic process and ensure that elections are conducted peacefully and transparently.
