The man @Bard_Boi_ took to Twitter on Tuesday, February 9 to lament what transpired between him and a house agent.
He said a day before, he had gone to look for a house with the aid of a house agent. He however was left in shock as the agent remarked that the landlord of a particular house wouldn't consider him a worthy tenant in his house as he looked like a jobless man.
He wrote:
"I went hunting for an apartment yesterday and this agent looked at me and said, the landlord won’t accept you, you don’t look like you have a job.
"God remove shame from my life."
Tweeps flooded the comment section to express their shock at his unpleasant experience.
@Oluwa_bukola229 reacted:

"Mine said he wasn’t going to give me house that I’m not married and I look like someone that’s doing yahoo. After talking and talking, he called me back when I was about leaving to come and pay."
A lady @kamsy_official commented:
"Over here, if you are a single woman, it becomes almost impossible to get an apartment."
