this is a serious issue. this once happened to me and family. we complained to the man but he refused to relocate his gen. on one Sunday night, I was mad at him. I went to the generator to pull off the wire and the man ran down from his apartment. I told him if he ever try to connect it again I will cut the wire. he was mad at me because he knew I was so young to challenge him.
thank God the issue was resolved,he was asked to relocate it to the front of the house. that night my mum was very happy with me.

This is jst d solution op shld create a scene n show he has liver in him n d issue will b resolved. Op is a coward n can't fight for his right. Create a scene n fight him if he beats u up call police n go for battery n attempted murder, wen police comes in peace ll b made. After d peace get him to sign undertakin for u too.

Thank me later

If all ur efforts to make him understand that the generator is disturbing your family has failed then I think it is time to put salt or sugar in the generator tank for him. Mix a cup of sugar with kerosene and pour it all in or put some valve grinding compound into the tank let's see how far it goes.
destructive approach.

OP,
While you adopt any measures, please don't sleep while the generator is on. The fumes can kill.

Just report him to amadioha! And next day he will become deaf and dumb, grin *just joking* look that fumes from that gen can not be good for your children, report him to the local council

Op, go and get ur own gen, get and electrician to run the cable from his door step to ur own. Whenever, he starts his take ur own gen to his doorstep and do the same.I am very sure he will be embarrased and will have no choice but to remove his gen from your window. Hope this works.

Re: Help! My Neighbour Disturbs Me With His Generator by sexyjennik(f): 6:38pm On Mar 01, 2015
Sorry about the inconveniences but my advice to you is that whenever he puts on the generator, just open the fuel tank and pour salt inside. It will knock out the engine and that way you will be free for sometime if he decides to change the engine,you repeat the action until he changes the direction of the generator.

Hope my advice works grin

Can someone tell me who to report my neighbour to. His generator is right behind my flat while he stays upstairs. He does not put off the gen until some mins to 12 am while as early as 4am the generator is on again whenever there is power outage. The gen is so noisy that my family has to wait for him to turn it off before we are able to go in to sleep at night. When he turns it on in the morning, we have to move to the living room to avoid the noise.

Our landlord does not stay with us and all efforts to resolve this have proved abortive as the said neighbour doesn't appear reasonable. As I type this , the gen is on.

Your contributions will be appreciated.



Tricky one, he has a right to use his generator just as you have a right to peaceful sleep but not at your expense i reiterate.
Is there any other place he can move his generator to? I suspect not as you would have looked at this
If there is he should move it there or move it away from you, you are also at risk from the exhaust fumes and fire hazard as well as the noise pollution so it should not interfere with your activities of daily (and nightly) living.

Pour a generous amount of salt inside the gen fuel thank! You've been talking for the guy for over a year now yet no solution: now you want to start talking to health workers? In this damn country?

Kill-off that gen, and the next one and the one after that one. We do it always while we were at school. We don't even confront you, just spoil the damn thing. When you repair your gen everyother day, you will realize that we all have some fundamental human rights which no one should infringe on.

OP you're even lucky. The cassava grinding machines they call generators here run all through the night and only go off when there's NEPA.

When he's not around,look for a mechanic from far awaynand have him loosen the screws holding the underneath parts of the gen so the engine oil can leak out as often as possible. By the time his gen knocks like one or two times,He'd look for how to relocate his gen. Alternatively,when He's not at home,remove the plug and soak it inside thick black engine oil waste,and insert it back. Keep doing this as often as possible. He'd have to spend like 1hr each day before his gen starts(that's if it starts at all). Alternatively,pur water into his fuel tank everyday. He'd need to get someone to loosen it and drain the water out everyday. By the time He's tired and frustrated,He'd move his gen.
davit:
I appreciate all the suggestions so far. I have talked to the guy, but he is such a stubborn fella. The agent is another irresponsible fella who only comes around when the rent is due. The landlord has told us to stop calling since he has an agent he pays to handle the house issues. Is there any legal way to deal with this situation? I am considering some of the ideas proposed above anyways!

As much as I will not want us brbg politics into the, I need I make it clear here that only the blind will be supporting what does not work, like the present government where the citizens do everything for themselves. I don't have any other options but give CHANGE the benefit of the doubt.

Still waiting for BabaAlabi or who else that knows how to get a health inspector.
Thanks.

So, you cooked-up this story just for political propaganda?. Is this how you guys are going to win the election?. On the internet?.
APC is such a joke!.

Advice, the person should report him to police
Re: Help! My Neighbour Disturbs Me With His Generator by Gboliwe: 8:20pm On Mar 01, 2015
For almost two years I endured this kind of shhhiiit.
Mine was worse because it was my landlord who was the oppressor.
The generator was directly under my window. The only window in the single room self contain. That's aside the toilet window though which is so small.

I made a choice between death by generator fumes and heat, I chose heat and God be praised I survived. My landlord will wait until other generators are off before he will put on his and that's like from 12midnight till when real human beings are awake say like 6am. Then it will go off by itself. God! I will always lock my window so I don't inhale the fume and I won't be able to sleep in the heat. Kai! I suffer no be small.

I talked to him twice about it and when he didn't budge I let it go and adopted patience and endurance.

What a wicked man!

Quite funny... Well, this is Nigeria and an average Nigerian careless if their own enjoyments brings discomfort to another person. That's a fact. Do your thing girl, honestly I once thought about damaging our neighbor's generator because I warned him severally about the fumes coming directly into our sitting room.

Dnt derail, if Buhari fixed the power problem during his Tenure, Gej would have had lesser problems with light..
U hav been shouting Up Nepa since u wia born, nd u expect Gej to do magic within 6-4years in a 55 year old Country, dnt be a hypocrite...
I wish dis Buhari will win self, let me see d Magic he will perform, akuko!!!
