“Once upon a time, I got a space, rebuilt and renovated it to my taste. Barely a year, I was asked to leave that they’ve sold the place. I had no choice than to leave, but I made sure I demolished everything i did tehre. Painful but I had to match the landlord’s wickedness as well.
“I was crying inside while demolishing because I knew how much I worked hard to make the money I spent on here. Money and effort wasted. I sold most of the things to those iron condemn guys because cus they are no more useful to me.”
She stated that the landlord’s son arrived and told her she had no right to demolished but she won him because people supported her.

“The most painful heartbreak I’ve ever experienced. Have proper agreement with Lagos landlords(in fact involve a professional lawyer) before renovating,to avoid stories that touch cos they are wicked.”
