A Nigerian woman has taken to social media to lament her experience after her new landlord refunded her house rent in full and asked her to vacate the apartment upon discovering she is a single woman and a Christian.
The woman, identified as @Ajokeaadee on X (formerly Twitter), shared her ordeal in a viral post.
According to her, the landlord had recently taken over the property and was displeased to find out that the caretaker had rented one of the apartments to a single Christian woman.
She wrote: “So, my new landlord refunded my payment in full yesterday because she didn’t know the caretaker rented her apartment to a single lady🤣 She doesn’t want a single lady or a Christian in her building! (White garment people especially).”
Expressing her shock, she added: “Some Lagos landlords are not renting out their property to you if you’re single?? Oh wow! 💔”
Her post triggered widespread reactions, with many Nigerians flooding the comment section to express concern over discriminatory rental practices in parts of Lagos.
