2. The "Quit Notice" Period:
Does the agreement respect the law? If you pay rent yearly, the law mandates a 6-month notice for recovery of possession.
Some agreements state you agree to waive the notice period especially when you owe rent.
3. The "Service Charge" Breakdown:
Demand an itemized list of what you are actually paying for.
4. Agent Fees" & "Agreement Fees":
Verify the percentage. In many states, these are regulated. Don't let an agent bully you into paying 20-30% on top of rent if the standard in your area is 10%. Ensure these payments are receipted separately from the rent.
5. The Maintenance Obligation:
Who fixes the leaking roof or the bad plumbing? A good agreement should clearly state that the landlord is responsible for structural repairs, while the tenant handles minor day-to-day wear and tear.
Warning:
Before you sign, read it twice.

ADC RISKS DEFEAT IN KADUNA NORTH FEDERAL CONSTITUENCY BY FIELDING ILLEGAL CANDIDATE: YOUNG STAKEHOLDERS MAY BACK APC’S SAMAILA SULEIMAN & MAHMOOD MAMMAN LAGOS
The attention of concerned stakeholders of the African Democratic Congress, Kaduna North, has been drawn to the actions of an unintelligent set of people who fail to understand the political reality we face.
Let it be clear: we are up against a ruling party with state power, resources, and structure. You cannot be fighting an oppressor and at the same time acting like them. You cannot demand change while importing the same impunity, illegality, and contempt for rules that we accuse the ruling party of.
1. On Illegal Candidacy:
The record shows Hon. Bello Elrufai’s resignation from his former party was read on the floor of the National Assembly. From that date to the ADC primaries, the number of days is glaring. Neither the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) nor the ADC Constitution entertains dual membership. Yet some people want us to ignore this illegality and proceed. That is how ruling parties kill democracy — by bending rules. ADC must not copy that playbook.
2. On Political Strategy and Consequences: Defeating a ruling party requires discipline, legality, and moral authority. If we present a candidate who breached the constitution to get a ticket, what moral ground do we have to challenge APC in court or at the polls? We will be dead on arrival.
Let it be known: if ADC insists on this illegality, supporting Hon. Samaila Suleiman (Dugiman Zazzau) and Hon. Mohammed Sadiq Mamman Lagos, candidates of the APC, is better for us and for Kaduna North. At least their emergence did not violate party constitutions, they have not insulted _talakawa_, and they have not betrayed those who stood by them. We will not trade legality and loyalty for an individual’s ambition.
3. This Is Not About Indigenship — It’s About Law:
Let no one twist this as an attack on where anyone comes from. This is about dual membership, constitutional breaches, and political common sense, The law does not respect sentiment.
We therefore warn: any attempt to impose an illegal candidate on ADC Kaduna North will not only destroy the party’s chances but will push loyal stakeholders to work for credible alternatives in APC. That will confirm to Nigerians that ADC is no different from the oppressor we seek to replace.
ADC must choose: Are we a party of rules or a party of rulers?
The 12 wards of Kaduna North are watching. History is recording.
Signed

Leadership Beyond Noise: Why Kaduna Needs a Grounded and Decent Governor
As Kaduna gradually moves toward another crucial political season, one important question confronts the people: should leadership be judged by noise, media theatrics, and grandstanding, or by character, competence, and the ability to genuinely connect with ordinary people?
In every democracy, there are politicians who dominate conversations with sharp rhetoric and carefully crafted public images, and there are those whose greatest strength lies not in theatricd, but in people. Kaduna today stands at that very crossroads.
Among the leading contenders is a man many describe as decent, accessible, and deeply connected to the grassroots — a former member of the House of Representatives whose political journey was built among ordinary people, not in elite drawing rooms or social media spaces. Across communities, he is known as someone who listens, understands local realities, and possesses the rare ability to manage people across political, ethnic, and religious lines.
Some critics argue that he does not project the kind of flamboyant sophistication modern politics has come to reward. But in an era increasingly dominated by optics and media performance, quiet composure is often undervalued. Governance, however, is not a television debate competition, nor is leadership measured by posters and jingles. The true test of leadership lies in judgment, emotional intelligence, integrity, and the ability to bring capable people together in pursuit of the common good.
History has shown repeatedly that many successful leaders were not necessarily the loudest or with the grandest CVs. What distinguished them was discipline, patience, empathy, and the wisdom to recognize talent and delegate responsibility effectively. No governor succeeds alone; governance ultimately depends on institutions, advisers, technocrats, and the trust a leader inspires within society.
Kaduna’s biggest problem today is not a shortage of intellectuals. The state is full of educated and talented people. The real tragedy has often been the elevation of arrogance over wisdom, propaganda over governance, and ambition over morality. The people have endured enough from political actors who speak the language of reform while surrounding themselves with opportunists, mediocre loyalists, and individuals whose records raise serious moral questions.
The incumbent, despite attempts to market himself as energetic and sophisticated, represents precisely this concern. Behind the polished image is a troubling coalition of political jobbers, compromised figures, and people who inspire little confidence among ordinary citizens. A leader is often judged not only by his words, but by the kind of people he attracts and empowers. When mediocrity and questionable characters consistently dominate a politician’s inner circle, it naturally reflects in the kind leadership available.
Kaduna cannot afford an administration driven by ego, vendettas, and endless political warfare. What the state desperately needs is stability, reconciliation, competent management, and leadership that understands the daily struggles of ordinary people. It needs someone capable of calming tensions, rebuilding trust in governance, and focusing on practical development rather than constant political drama.
Rt. Honorable Isa Ashiru Kudan may not fit the modern image of a “celebrity politician,” but perhaps that is exactly his strength. He understands the grassroots because he emerged from it. He has spent years building relationships, managing political structures, and working with people without cultivating an image of toxicity or intolerance. His influence was built through trust and relationships, not intimidation.
Ultimately, governance is about results, not performance art. Kaduna cannot continue with political showmen. It needs a steady hand, a decent man, and a leader mature enough to place the state above personal ambition.
There is nothing radical about wanting public money used properly. Nothing extreme about demanding transparency. Nothing criminal about asking leaders to serve citizens honestly. That is called democracy!
If Asiwaju get 25% total votes in Katsina, Sokoto, Zamfara and Borno, then I am done.
Coz it's illogical for any human being with a functional brain in these states to go out and join the queue just to vote for APC.
We deserve every calamity that befall us.
Today, I participated in the APC Presidential Direct Primary at my ward in Ikoyi, Lagos, alongside my dear wife, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, CON.
Democracy is not sustained by noise, speculation, or borrowed platforms. It is sustained by citizens who show up, party members who believe, institutions that endure, the grassroots, and a political family rooted in the people.
The APC remains focused, organised and deeply grounded across Nigeria. Others may gather around grievance. We gather around structure, service, and the work of nation-building.
Together, we will continue to renew hope, strengthen our democracy, and build a stronger Nigeria for all.

The Dangote Refinery IPO may trigger short-term pressure across many NGX stocks as investors rotate liquidity into what could become Africa’s biggest listing. But my advice is simple: hold through the temporary storm.
A listing of this scale will do more than raise capital for one company; it could bring unprecedented global exposure to the Nigerian stock market itself. Foreign institutions, analysts, and long-term capital that previously ignored the NGX may suddenly begin paying closer attention to Nigerian equities as a whole.
And that is where the unintended effect may emerge. While many stocks could initially dip due to capital rotation, several fundamentally strong companies may eventually outperform the IPO itself over time as fresh liquidity, valuation re-ratings, and international visibility spread across the market.
Sometimes, the biggest winner from a mega listing is not the listing itself, but the ecosystem it forces the world to notice.
