Why it is better to rent than buy a house in another man’s land – Speed Darlington

GistReel

Speed Darlington

Nigerian rapper, Speed Darlington who is known for his controversial views opines that it is more advisable to rent than to acquire a house in a location that is not one’s homeland. According to him, owning a house in a different state or region would limit a person’s ability to relocate quickly in case of unforeseen circumstances. He suggested that renting a home as a non-native resident would be a more appropriate option than buying land. In a video posted on his TikTok page, Speed Darlington argued that owning a house in a foreign location would impede one’s freedom. Speed Darlington on why renting a house is better than buying “It’s better to rent than to buy houses, especially in another man’s land. “If you buy a house, over time it [the place] gets crowded. [And] maybe you decide, I don’t like here anymore, e don cast; everybody know where I live now, I want to move to other part of the state or other part of the country. “You can’t just pack your things and go. First, you need to sell that house. Only God knows when you are going to sell because not everybody has money to buy a house. “So, now you are stuck at this address, and you can’t leave. Freedom is an asset. “Freedom, the ability to pack up and disappear anytime. But if you rent, you can pack up and leave anytime.”

“Those that believed that Lagos is a ‘no man’s land’ have been roundly defeated and humiliated”

"Those that believed that Lagos is a 'no man's land' have been roundly defeated and humiliated"

Femi Fani-Kayode, FFK takes to Twitter to boast about the outcome of the Lagos gubernatorial elections, held on the 18th of March, 2023.

FFK

The narrative, “Lagos is no man’s land” was pushed, following claims of Labour party Gubernatorial candidate, Ggbadebo Rhodes-Vivour being an Igbo man. Many found the statement discriminating and claimed that Lagos belongs to no one, as it consists of inhabitants of all Nigerian tribes. Taking to Twitter, FFK mocked the alleged thuggery and intimidation reported all around Lagos polling units. He claims that the election was free and fair. Furthermore, he insists that “those that believed that Lagos is a “no man’s land” have been roundly defeated, badly humiliated.”

Woman narrates struggle giving birth at low-budget hospital, resents husband for buying land a week after

Businesswoman narrates how she risked her life to deliver her baby in a low-budget hospital, even though her husband had the money to pay for better medical care.

Woman narrates struggle giving birth at low-budget hospital, resents husband for buying land a week after

@madamolu, who expressed her dissatisfaction on Twitter, revealed that she was compelled to give birth in a health centre due to a “lack of funds,” ignorant of the fact that her husband had sufficient money. Despite the difficulty she faced during natural delivery, she persisted because she believed that a caesarean section (CS) was beyond their financial means. However, she was stunned to learn that her now ex-husband purchased a piece of land a week after the birth of their child. In her words; “I remember when I was giving birth struggling for my life and unable to push the baby out in a dilapidated health center cos I couldn’t afford a good Hospital & my supposedly father of the child was watching me fight for my life while he has a lot of money in his acct & bag then And poor me was praying while on hospital bed for more strength, cos I was almost gone and I thought we couldn’t afford CS , alas baby came out with lots of tears and placenta rupture, the next week the Oga got a Landed property🫱🏾‍🫲🏼 Selfishness at its peak 🤮.”

“Lagos isn’t a no man’s land; it is a Yoruba land” – Yul Edochie cautions against tribalism

GistReel

Controversial actor, Yul Edochie has asserted that the metropolitan city, Lagos belongs to the Yorubas and the notion that it belongs to no one is invalid.

Yul Edochie Lagos Yoruba

In a post on his Instagram page, he revealed that he had moved to Lagos in 2011, built a home there and has never been treated badly or been prejudiced against by the Yorubas. The movie star dismissed the belief which seems to be causing a lot of contention on social media that Lagos belongs to no tribe as incorrect. He likened making such claim about Anambra state; he said that the state belongs to Igbo and it’s equivalent, Lagos, likewise belongs to the Yorubas. The proud polygamist warned people to avoid tribalism before it causes great harm to the society. His post reads: “I’ve lived in Lagos since 2011. Built my house in Lagos. Not once have I experienced any form of hate or rejection from the Yorubas. Anytime Yoruba boys see me on the street, they gather to greet me, and it’s all love always. And this talk flying around that Lagos is a no man’s land is wrong. Lagos is a Yoruba state in Yoruba land. Imagine someone saying that Anambra is a no man’s land. That’s crap. Anambra is an Igbo Land. You can’t come into someone’s land and tell the person it’s now ano man’s land. Na you dey find trouble. Nobody can deny the fact that the Igbos have contributed immensely to the development of Lagos. Other tribes have contributed in their own ways too. And the Yorubas have been largely accomodating as well. It shouldn’t take away the fact that Lagos is a Yoruba land. We no dey drag ownership. Let’s kill tribalism before it kills us. YUL EDOCHIE.”
