1. You might discuss it with him

2. Is not a must to greet Sir, If he's older than you, greeting him first won't do you bad.

Better still, dey your LANE.

This is too petty for me to contribute to... Greetings don't add to the bank account, does it?

How beautiful the world would have been if we have no expectations from anyone or expect people to act nasty and not to act according to your standards.stop taking trivial matters personally.

Like I say time and time again. Nigerians are naturally not nice to anyone except there's something at stake or they don't have a choice

Solution; mind your godamn buisness. If they greet you fine,if they don't fine too.jeez

Mon Dieu!
Now I understand why the bible says we should be like children.
See grown men beefing themselves because of who will greet first.
Something that even kids will find hard to sustain.
It is a wah!


@OP
I really have no advice for you.
If you have kids around you, look at the way they play and fight.
Hopefully you will learn something.

Forgive me poster, I couldn't make it past the first paragraph.
Re: . by Nobody: 3:57pm On Nov 19, 2016
There is virtually nothing in who greets first and who greets last.. Initially I was like that with my next flat neighbour and his wife. But later I ignored. I always greet them first.. Now the husband and wife also greet first too, sometimes.. Take it as part of life and living well with your neighbors. And funny though, we are now best of friends. The husband has helped me in different dire moments
Sometimes he helps me to buy 20 litres fuel , if I forgot to buy on my way home. And I perchance see him driving off 2 buy his.. And me too, I help him sometimes.. So nothing there in greeting jare, especially at home. It doesn't remove anything from your status.
But place of work? They must greet me first! Orelse my staffs will have an earful from me. Lol.

Re: . by Nobody: 4:01pm On Nov 19, 2016
Just be careful in pointing fingers at someone, calling them your enemy. This is how innocent people in Nigeria are accused of being witches and wizards, and being blamed for others' misfortunes. It's mindsets like yours who keep perpetuating this cycle - when you're calling people who have done you no wrong your enemy.

Now you're saying he's "keeping malice" with you because he's not greeting you. That's really no different than calling him your enemy or do you not know what malice means? You're using these strong words to describe this man and cannot justify them.

You can't do anything "to" him. You can't force him to greet you, just like you have made up your mind not to greet him either.

Op has a neighbour who does not greet him first even though Op has greeted him first severally.
But same neighbour greets the wife first.
So Op decided not to greet or answer the neighbour at all which made the wife to ask questions.
Now what should Op do to the neighbour?
Re: . by Nobody: 4:23pm On Nov 19, 2016
It is said that simple minds discuss people; average minds discuss events; and great minds discuss ideas.

OP, I think you should know what category you fit into by now.

Only simple-minded meshuggeners -- wait, is that too big a word? Alright, only simple-minded buffons can worry over something as footling as niceties in human relations. Who cares about greeting(s) if it isn't resulting to a credit alert from my bank?

What's all these pomp and jazz over exchange of greetings anyway? If you put that time you used in entertaining delusions of how your neighbour is this or that, I'm sure your life wouldn't be as complicated as you've weaved it to be.

Nonsense.

I know greeting is a big deal in Nigeria and greeting your neighbours is just normal.

If I notice am always the first to greet a particular person, I stop immediately.

That much I can say.

op, ignore this your neighbour.

The only reason I'd stop greeting someone first, is if I notice they don't respond to the greeting or their body language displays hostility, other than that, I don't care who greets first, especially where two adults are concerned.

Greeting.... this is something women talk about. Mrs Husband, go and get busy, make more money for the family. Buy a washing machine and rent/build a flat.

Free you mind.

I think greet when you feel to greet, dont greet when you dont feel like greeting him.

Not big issue.

I do not even know what to say to you OP... If not that you said you were married, I would have thought you were under 21....Maturity should always play a major part in all your everyday life sir...I do not understand why you were acting this way..

I have lived in a place for 3 years. I do not even know my neighbours names... I met them sometimes at the parking lot...wave and zoom off...u don't expect greetings from anyone and I expected that they don't expect same from you...but if they surprised u by saying hello. ..u politely say hi and walk away. ..See this world/life is just simple. You guys should stop making things a bit complicated...The world is not difficult to live in...
