derickocran commented:

They normally come as a single person, but you will see the extended family later. They don't clean the house. They are a fraud group in the room and make noise.

Nigerians are too friendly. They want to be friends with any person they see. They end up bringing ten people to the house per week. Maintenance becomes an issue

Akosua Kwapong remarked:

It’s because they don’t take good care of the place and they don’t behave well. It's not about them being wealthy

Krissesa opined:

Because only one person shows face to rent, yet they end up being fifteen in the room putting pressure on the facility. Most of them spoil the place oo
