In a post by @tehkehnur on TikTok, the lady recounted what her landlord told her and how she cried after his statement.
She said:
“All I heard was ‘I need you to move out of my shop. I want to start doing this iPhone business you’re doing. How small girl wey I give shop space go first me buy car?”
Sharing her reaction, she said:
“Business heartbreaks. After crying for a while, I eventually came to my senses and stood my ground that I wouldn’t leave till my rent expired, so he simply just started doing same business as me in my presence.
“He and his wife would complain about every single thing, including things they were okay with previously, to the point I had to just leave for my sanity, leaving my remaining rent with them. Funny how they are very religious and go to church programs regularly, even mid-week service.
“The only solace I get from this whole experience is that God was trying to push me into bigger and better things, including my shop space.”
In the comment section, she shared more information about her contract with the shop owner.
She said:
“Him no be the landlord oo, na shop wey him rent wey him no get money to pay for so I paid X2 of the rent to get a small portion inside the shop (the plaza na hot cake.”
