Rented apartment in Nigeria
He (@panoscoremix) added that he has started advising those in the diaspora to avoid building a house in Nigeria as it is a bad investment.
The man made a video to show how badly maintained his house is in the hands of tenants. His interlocking was overgrown with grass.
The abroad-based landlord showed how dirty his tenants were. A part of his compound had a black patch, suggesting something was burnt on the interlocked floor.
