A Nigerian man took to Twitter to narrate how he assisted a Nigerian immigrant who had accommodation issues in New York and it backfired.

He said he allowed the man, who was his friend from Nigeria, to stay in his New York apartment for 2 weeks. However, the man extended his stay to 1 year and 6 months.

He then brought his wife and child from Nigeria to also stay with him in the house, making the real owner of the house uncomfortable in his own house.

The homeowner said he had to go back to his father’s house, leaving his house for the Nigerian man and his family.

When the man wouldn’t leave on his own, he said things got messy and the man grudgingly left his house, and they have cut ties since then.

Based on his experience, he advised people to do the needful early before things get out of hand.
