A viral video has sparked strong reactions online after a landlord packed out the belongings of a tenant who was allegedly kidnapped months ago after travelling to his village in Imo state.

In the video, shared by @ChuksEricE on X (formerly Twitter), neighbors revealed that the tenant had been missing for an extended period, and no family member or friend came forward to renew the rent.

The landlord reportedly granted extra months of grace but eventually decided to clear out the apartment to make it available for new tenants.

Footage showed the tenant’s belongings arranged outside the compound, leaving social media users shocked and confused by the situation.

Some believe the landlord acted out of frustration and financial pressure, while others argue that the move was insensitive, especially given that the tenant’s whereabouts remain unknown.

A viewer commented, “This is heartbreaking. What if the person returns?” Another wrote, “Landlords no dey send anybody again. Economy don hard.”

The clip has ignited a heated debate online about compassion, property rights, and how landlords in Nigeria handle cases involving missing tenants.

I Was Bullied Into Supporting Tinubu – Nollywood Actress, Bimbo Akintola Opens Up (Video)

on

Bimbo Akintola, the Nollywood actress, has explained why she remains a steadfast supporter of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The movie star, who supported Tinubu during the last election, explained that she increased her support for the then-APC candidate because an opposition supporter bullied her over her choice of Tinubu.

She claimed that her increased support for Tinubu was to spite her bully.

Speaking in a recent episode of With Chude, Akintola urged Nigerians to respect other people’s political choices and opinions.

“I supported President Bola Ahmed Tinubu during the last election because somebody annoyed me with their bullying.

“Nigerians are annoying. Don’t bully other people. We have our rights to differences of opinion. You don’t like this man [Tinubu], cool, you have the right not to like him. You prefer this person, good for you. But don’t bully others.

“They bullied aunty Joke [Silva] to the point that someone wrote something that was so inhumane. So, I made a video and said, ‘I’m also supporting Tinubu, kill me, let me see if you can change my mind.’

“We need to stop bullying. We need to agree that we can never agree with everybody. That’s what makes us great and beautiful. If we are all the same, it would be a boring life. Till tomorrow, you might not agree that he was the best person for the job, but at that point, that was who I wanted, that was who I voted for. You can’t take my voice away from me; it’s mine,” she expressed.
