LANDLORD VS STUDENTS
It's no longer a news, black and white alike are faced with a situation which has brought the world to it's knees. Many are dying and many will still die due to the pandemic. No doubt about it that as a result of the pandemic, economy keeps going down each day many are losing their jobs, death toll kept rising, no doubt the whole world is a victim of the pandemic.

Due to this pandemic, there is a surge in rape cases in Nigeria and if adequate measures are not taken, the next pandemic in the country might be between the landlord and students as unpaid rent might lead to jungle justice and death if adequate measure are not taken.

This piece reminds me of my days in the University before the Advent of this economy crises, I could see how some students suffer before they could get their school fees paid talk less of their house rent. Many rely on their friends to have a roof on their head, some had to scout in school hostels which is not easy at all as porter keep disturbing but in this economy crunch what will be the fate of students as schools are preparing to resume. There is a need for government intervention to take drastic steps to help the students. Though palliatives had been rolled out to cater for different groups, none of it actually faced the students.

All hands must be on deck so that the lives of young talented Nigerian which are the leader of tomorrow are not wasted on issues that can be easily averted. Accommodation is very important to students after school fees and as it stands, many house rent has expired during the course of this pandemic. What will the fate of some students who are few months away from graduating before the advent of covid-19 be? Many landlords will stop at nothing until they get the rent as this is their own source of income too.

We have seen in so many cases where landlord do unimaginable things to students all in the name of paying rent. This is a wake-up call for government in all level to help Nigeria students. These two set of people need the help of the government so that the Newsline in coming weeks will not be awash with jungle justice against students as it is about rape cases.
