Me I have noisy neighbors who also gossip a lot. Asides that, nothing much.
ReplyDeleteI just thank God they don't do jazz like my former compound.
Those your neighbours are like mine on the right hand side....very noisy. If their mum is talking, its like she's using megaphone 😫 No secret, you can hear every word! Have learnt to manage them like that 🤣🤣
DeleteAbeg we're just pretending to be cordial in our compound.
ReplyDeleteWe've two dirty neighbors that liters the compound with dirt and always deny doing it until they're caught red handed. The worse and annoying part is that they always refuse to clear the dirties claiming the people downstairs should be responsible for maintaining the compound.
The other neighbor always pouring baby bath water morning and evening on the floor.
Although they've been reported to the landlady but just little changes from them .
Pigs with pride.
We're currently house hunting.
As for the cleaning of the compound, why don't you guys get a paid cleaner to do it and then you all contribute and pay the person monthly. That is what we do in all the places we have lived. No fight on who cleans or messes up the compound.
DeleteJust tell the remaining neighbors and call a meeting. Then ask around for those women that clean compound and wash gutters.
Pigs with pride oh boy una dey yarn o
DeleteAt BV praise, it was suggested by the landlady but the main culprits refused.
DeleteEveryone denying their kids don't litered the environment The places I've rented so far, that's how it's be done.
It's a terrible and pitiable situation .
Since I started renting apartments, I've had the grace of meeting good neighbors, very caring, loving and we look out for each other.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I try to keep to myself most times sha, make handsake no turn to hug 😁😊.
My landlady said we should bathe with small bucket of water o, because sewage is almost full
ReplyDeleteChronicle of face me I slap you kinda house 😓
I was thinking this was a joke o nna ehn make God bless you to move out .
DeleteIt's not a joke o, all the tenants have bought smallest bucket o
DeleteI stay on the upper floor of a story building, we have good neighbors around me...
ReplyDeleteOur tenants downstairs are good people 😍
All of us dey mind our business for this place o we greet and pass go your way
ReplyDeleteGood and bad o
ReplyDeleteThis is what was making me cry this morning.
ReplyDeleteIt's 4 flats and one is a single igbo guy whose babe comes mostly weekends.
He has been parading my corner since I moved in at odd hours.
I mostly sleep naked and had to stop cos I sometimes feel someone peeping through the windows.
During heat period,I leave the curtains open.
He knows I wake up before 5am everyday to cook,my kitchen is facing his flat so he comes out when I am awake and just be walking to and fro.
One particular Monday, he saw his girlfriend off as early as past 5 then came back to knock on my net, I didn't open it.
I asked him what he wanted from the door and he said he just got a new phone (showed me an iPhone)and need to get OTP so want to log his mail on my phone.
I told him I had no space and locked the door, he greets me when we see but I always walk away fast cos he likes talking.
I have never encouraged conversations with any of my neighbours,we just greet and pass each other.
I have never borrowed anything or knock on anyone's door.
I have been living in fear most days especially during heat periods when I have to lift my curtains up.
You sef stop lifting cutting up. If you're sweat a lot like me, get a rechargeable fan. You're working. You can afford to get it. Some men are just animals.
DeleteHow much is your salary gan gan??!!!
DeleteEnd of month you go receive salary take buy chicken neck.
Why you no come get rechargeable fan again??!!
You have to relocate from downstairs to upstairs. You are not safe.
God pls protect this lady even if this is the only thing you will do for us as bvs this second part of 2025. Protect her!!
You surely have been through a lot and being single again can’t be so easy don’t let these things weigh you down just try and find a balance don’t be overwhelmed .
DeleteSorry about this babe . The guy sounds like a creep. Please be safe .
DeleteSorry about this babe . The guy sounds like a creep. Please be safe .
DeleteUzu, pls be careful...that guy behaves suspicious...lock your door & burglary door well before you sleep. If you can, look for another house pls.
DeleteNow this is a problem
DeleteWhat a sicko
Why must she pack out? If she feels harassed or uncomfortable, let her make an official report at the station. They will call him to write an undertaking. He has to respect boundaries abeg.
DeleteMost of my neighbours are two faced neighbours, they will say A in your front then go back and say Z behind your back..the only thing that I do now is the more you look the less you understand to them..
ReplyDeleteI share prepaid metre with one of the neighbours and we only talk when the metre is about to finish. He doesn't knock, he just wait till he sees me passing by and inform me and I ensure I drop my cash same day or next.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why this single guy is bent on harassing me( his babe greets me alot anytime she is around)
I was sleeping half naked in the parlour last night till around past 5am when I just felt like covering my body.
Someone was peeping through my parlour window shouting madam madam. I shouted who is that?he said Na me I.k, I want to borrow iron , I screamed that I don't have. The iron was there and was visible through the window.
I couldn't move cos my cover might shift and I didn't hear footstep walking away.
I just started crying, I eventually stood up to drop the curtains. I fried for hours, it brought back bad memories.
I knew how stressful financially , mentally and physically houshunting was for me before I got this place.
Aunty, calm down and enjoy your house. It seems you are getting worked up over nothing. You need to calm down.
DeleteMr Binam will you gerraoutttttttt.
DeleteYour own is not that serious.
DeleteStop sleeping half naked while your curtains are lifted up and if you must lift them up, don't be half naked.
Also, warn him sternly in the presence of other neighbors to stop peeping at you.
If possible, after warning him, stop greeting him and stop responding to his greetings. That way, there would be no familiarity that would make him come near your flat.
Lastly, get a man, a tall man with good standing, an odogwu to come visit you from time to time. It may be a relative or friend, not necessarily a lover. If they see you with a man, they will be mindful of how they behave around you.
You can even warn him in the presence of his girlfriend or tell her what he’s doing and ask her to warn him.
DeleteBut i thought she's married and ttc?
DeleteSame here
ReplyDeleteBut I don't know if they do jazz, if they do it will never catch me in Jesus name Amen
I have two neighbors who are very selfish and bad as well. To contribute for something in the compound, it's a problem for them; our landlord joined like 5 tenants on a prepaid, and we contribute 5k each every month.
ReplyDeleteTo pay nah wahala for them even to collect pumping water money nah problem.They don't want to pay for anything except house rents; they're always complaining that the bills are too much in the compound.
The landlord has given the quiet notice since last year. One of them packed out on Friday night; the other never even know where him and his wife wan go as money to get a new place no dey.
A friend reached out to me and she.
ReplyDeleteencourage me to speak to the landlord,I was scared to even come out of my room.
I eventually went to the landlord's building, met the wife and informed her, I was even crying while telling her.
She said she has seen him once beside my window when she woke up to pray during Muslim fasting.
She called the landlord who said again? apparently, the married female tenant has reported him that he do peep through her windows at night( both flats is on same line), he begged when he was confronted.
I don't feel safe any more, they said they will speak to him again, I hope they will call me so I can tell him I have lodged a complaint at the station.
I have been attacked before, I was bruised badly, I can't go through this again😭😭.
I did a net,2 dead bolts on the main door,you can't access my locks even if you tear the window net.
I don't go out again once I am back from work, I don't keep late nights .
I only go to work, market and church
Please what else can I do??😭
Oh dear . please make sure u report him..
DeleteGo to nearest police station, buy them some drinks in a nearby joint.. They will follow you home, interview him.
DeleteGet him to answer some questions.
He will pack his bags and disappear.
Go and report him at the police station, let them invite him and let him sign an undertaking to stay far from you and if anything happens to you he will be held responsible
DeleteGood you reported him to the landlord. For now I'll advise you stop lifting up your window curtains.
DeleteThe landlord should caution him.
Threaten him that,you will involve the police wen next he comes to your window to request for anything and get a small rechargeable fan
DeleteSorry about your ordeal
Chai! This is traumatizing. Maybe you also need to confront him in person. Do you have a brother or close male family member that can come and warn him for you. I pray God helps you arrest him.
DeleteWhat a dirty predator
Baby girl is such a softie, come and take hugs, you will be alright.
DeleteThe advice under your comment are great
I have generally good neighbours within our compound, though there are some challenges. One neighbour can be a bit overbearing and doesn’t seem to recognize that the flats already set clear boundaries. There have been instances of them knocking very early on weekends, at around 5:30 or 6 a.m. While it can be tiring, we’ve chosen to approach the situation calmly. We’ve explained that it would be appreciated if they could wait until around 7 a.m. when we’re usually up.
ReplyDeleteDuring the weekdays, it’s understandable since everyone is getting ready for work, but weekends are a different story. Often, we have been up late preparing dried fish for delivery the next day, so early disturbances can be particularly frustrating.
Additionally, they come requesting various items like matches, salt, sugar, seasonings, ground pepper, pressing irons, clothes pegs, and so on. At times, it felt too much, so we decided to give them our older pressing iron and pegs, replacing them with new ones. We also keep some essentials like a 500-gram sachet of salt, sugar, extra ground pepper, and a matchbox handy, hoping it makes things easier, at least for a little while before coming back to make more requests.
Recently, an annoyingly self-centred, and unbearable tenant packaged out - most compounds would normally have that one abysmally mannered neighbour who goes against all common modicum. And a new one moved in - a young man with a lively family and friends who tend to be quite noisy. Their exuberance, even where they are not teens, brings a different dynamic to our compound, and while it adds vibrancy, it also comes with its own annoying set of adjustments. Overall, we’re working towards finding a balance that makes for a harmonious living environment for everyone. At least no more toxicity.
6 flats and 2 ladies
ReplyDeleteI greet you and go my way
I don’t want any gist

Lol, this is me in my house.
DeleteMy neighbours are like my second family. Living in my area for almost two decades. Came here with only our first daughter and had the other three kids here. I don't know how to socialise much. I only visit during parties. And I have mastered the art of minding my business and not expecting much from anyone.
ReplyDeleteLucky you 😊
DeleteIf you have good neighbours, just be thanking God 🙏
No trouble here. I thank God for this house. Bills are paid on time, no fight too.
ReplyDeleteEverybody is minding their business in my area.
ReplyDeleteMy compound is everybody for themselves.
ReplyDeleteIt's only me and one other guy upstairs that make effort to keep the compound going and clean, every other person's act like is none of their business and nobody really care about each other.
The so called family that live in front of my apartment, is another story.
Myself and wify is still trying to find out the story behind that family. Because the woman told me Several times that herself and the man are not married and the two children are not her children, yet she claims that they have been living together for over 18yrs now and they are always insulting each other calling each other horrible names every other day shouting on top of their voices for the whole neighbours to hear.
For the past 5yrs or so, they move in here, nobody has ever come to visit them or look for them. No family, no friends nobody, Very strange family.
Wow,
DeleteThat strange o.
Thankfully I have always had good neighbours. But I still had to move houses a while back to get more space for my kids. The new neighbours I see for now are awesome
ReplyDeleteIn my house we have good and not so good neighbors
ReplyDeleteThe children in the compound next to us throw candy wrappers, bottle tops and things like that into our compound. Undisciplined children 😔 We don' talk tire.
ReplyDeleteAnd we have dogs that can eat those things and have problems.☹️
I don't want to call them bad neighbors, but it's very annoying.
Everybody Minds Their Business In My Compound o...

I don't know if my neighbors are kind people or not we hardly see each other, the landlord lives with us, so he makes everything easier by talking to us directly when there is any issue.
ReplyDeleteGuys go and watch this short series 'Fear' it's a true definition of neighbor from hell
ReplyDeleteI miss my former house 🏠 Calm & cool place. My neighbours were like my brothers and used to buy all sorts of gifts for my baby then. Neighbours i have now are too loud & i like a quiet environment.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I have always had goodluck with my landlords & landladies, I never had issues with any of them and we even do business sometimes😄
What can i say guys😋😝
ReplyDeleteI have got great nieghbours,
One that giving me stress moved out last year, she is a nice person, we are feom th
My own is roommate oo
ReplyDeleteSome roommates are seriously something else. Some of them will end up making the whole room turn to something else without minding how it affect others or fellow roommate in the room.
They'll pack dirty plates and soak clothes for days.
Pee in their pee bucket and leave it unflushed for some time. Mess up the toilet and go their way.
Leave their corner unkept which affects the appearance of the whole room.
Their personal areas are often messy, and they neglect basic hygiene tasks like dressing, sweeping, and washing their bedding.
Their food is often left unattended, leading to unpleasant odors that fill the room.
It's ironic that they present themselves nicely outside, but their living space tells a different story.
Dear roommates,
especially females, I urge you to reflect on your habits. If you're guilty of these behaviors, please make a change.
Life in a shared space can be challenging, but it's essential to be considerate of others.
When your roommates offer constructive criticism, take it graciously and make adjustments. Remember, your actions affect those around you.
Let's strive to maintain a clean, respectful, and comfortable living environment for everyone.
Stop making life unbearable for others.
Change and take corrections when it comes from any of your roommates. Stop claiming right or forming that it's your life and that no one has the right to flog or beat you, nah yourself you dey do ooo.
Better amend your ways, drop dirty and lazy lifestyle please .
I've always been lucky with good neighbours.
ReplyDeleteMy two neighbours are very nice. They cover up for me in my absence.
ReplyDeleteIf I wash and it's rains, I am rest assured someone must pack my clothes either them or their children. Landlord wan come cut my joy e don carry him short notice increase to come scatter my rest of mind. Nothing beat more than having rest of mind, no issues. Neighbours like no other.
Thank you all for your advice, I am grateful🙏
ReplyDeleteOr is it the lady you'll asked for light money and she'll tell you she's not working and she doesn't have money.
ReplyDeleteA single mum of two kids with two baby daddies. The last one rented the apartment for her.
