Davicl:Everyone knows that ,it doesn't mean you shouldn't have self control,it's a key to a good living anywhere you finds yourself. Your neighbors are not your relatives or friends,treat them as such and you will find peace. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

gigabyte13:no be until you gist with neighbor before them help you. The most important thing is greeting when you cross path and be at peace with everyone. I dont gist with anyone here neither my wife but the day a wire caught fire in my neighbors apartment, it was my wife that noticed, and we called the attention of Landlady that later called people to pull down the door and put out the fire, and i believe every sensible person would do the same. Dont be at war with your neighbors and they will help you when necessary. If gisting with them works for you, fine but dont think neighbors would only help you when you gist with them. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Neduzze5:... it's not true. It's not compulsory but it's optional . There is need for keeping a healthy relationship with your neighbors ( Not necessarily all but 1 or 2 neighbors) See, we humans are not created to be loners, as resourceful as the forest is, its not made up of a sing tree. Many trees make up a forest. Don't wait until you are in a terrible situation before you know the importance of being in Good rapport with one or two of your neighbors. You don't need to sit with your neighbors all day talking before you can have a good rapport. It's all about you being humane. You can't be around someone who is involved in a minor home accident , without you showing sympathy to the person. ( Even if you no give any physical material, the word "Sorry" you say alone, goes along way to comfort that person) No matter how introverted one is , have one or two of your neighbors ,whom, you have a rapport with. Even, if it's not much. That's life for you. Don't say you don't need anyone's rapport. 2 Likes |

Jackipapa: This is Africa, not Europe or North America. Neighbours can sometimes come in handy. I remembered an incident of someone coming home late at night from a journey and the vigilantes took him to his house but no neighbour could identify him as a tenant in the compound. The landlord lived abroad, and the caretaker did not pick her calls. So, the vigilantes paraded the man naked through the town and through the night, making him sell eko with serious beating before taking him to the bale. 2 Likes |

Christianoir: Follow.your heart... Then, as a Naija...be wise, circumspect..... There's still room. I lived with people for over 30years and I did regret saying hi..... Love them, but having neighbours of some sort is like watching the highway each time you wanna cross. If you're okay and they are....soon, the vibrations will bring y'all along |

You're not alone. And don't change anytime soon if you don't want that lil respect turn to see finish anytime soon. Self respect is paramount, there's a reason why they say in midst of people, be a good listener and not a talkative. Meanwhile I'm not a student but I've had this mentality almost when I started living alone and it paved way when everyone else lost self respect. 4 Likes |

franktech:You just described me, except for the bolded. I don't greet or discuss with my neighbors. If they greet me, I answer & move my way, if they don't, I lock up. But I do relate & gist with few guys in the street once in a while. My own is even extreme because I don't even know their names & can't even recall some of their faces if I see them outside except for those of them wey dey greet me.
