I believe my present situation won't come to many as new. Problem is, I have never experience such as this before and it is quite hard as to what technique and approach to adopt in tackling this issue. I would be going into details so that my plight can be clearly understood.

Just recently, two tenants moved into a newly built semi detached apartment in my compound, a room and parlour self contain, precisely. The one closest to my apartment is occupied by a young, single guy, most likely a transport company driver, while the other apartment is inhabited by a family of about five (5). Both folks moved in in January.

The problem
The said young guy does not seem to understand serenity. His music can be so loud that one could feel his heart beat to the baseline of the songs coming from his sound system. Annoyingly, he is not in any way restricted by time as he would max the volume of his sound system, lock his door and go out while his nose slowly sniff life out of everyone around. This has been going on for the past three months now and it is really taking its toll on me. I was at the hospital recently for a medical check up due to sleepless nights and lack of sleep on weekends.

I tend to shy away from trouble at the slightest opportunity. I'm also careful not to hurt anyone in any way. I once walked to his apartment to tell him about the noise but it hasn't done much really. The landlord lives within the compound too but rarely stays home.

Other tenants have started complaining about the noise but no one has done a thing about it. I have thought about several things I could do to get his attention but I'm not sure how they would leave him after I follow through:

1. I thought about inviting the landlord into this, but I fear it might be extreme as it would look like I have something against him other than this.
2. Take the legal route by asking the police to invite him for disturbance of public peace.
3. Plead and ask for a meeting with other tenants while we address this.

I'm at a loss here as I don't want to go to war with anyone.

So he leaves the music playing while he is not at home as well. That is simple, disconnect and fix the back the light to his apartment, as this will stop the music. For permanent solution, team up with your co tenants and report him to the landlord.

Report the issue to the police .

My Neigbour tried this when I was in school ... I show them pepper them melo immediately

Just write him an anonymous note complaining about the situation and slip it under his door.

First of all, we Africans are very boisterous human species. I personally hate noisy environments because I'm an introverted nigga. But that doesn't mean I take people's bull crap.

How about playing some loud hardcore rock music let's say around 1am - 3am Or by 5-6am for just a week. Do it when you know he wants to rest.

This Naija saying "Pikin wey say ehn mama no go rest, dat pikin no go rest." also describes the kind of person that I am.

May be Nigga was born and brought up in Manchester City! !!

This is really funny...

I had such experience in ND 2 at FPede, this guy is a gong player for a Fuji musician in ede, my room was next to him, and being the only electrical guy in the compound and his connection pass from my room to his room. As a sharp lagos guy, Most times he is not at home but leave his sound to play I disconnect his room from my room...i restore him wen he come back n starts complaining "ko si ina ninu yara mi ooo (no light in my room)" lol


I also had another funny experience in HND 1 in another house. I could not get good house cos my admission came late, the room I was able to get has sack as its ceiling, which made sound from next room be heard clearly.
My landlord son has partial deafness, if u don't move near him and shout he won't hear, his wife has impediment of speech and partial deafness too.

Wen this guy is making love to her at night I hear the noise clearly like she is crying, cos she cant give good moaning sound, especially wen I'm reading at night, which was disturbing ooooo.....I had to report to his mum, the mum told him but to no avail. Even wen he is playing his sound system he has to loud it to maximum b4 he will hear wat Pasuma is saying.


I feel for u Bro, cos I was in the same situation


I left my balance for them n went to rent another room wen another session came...

M sure the guy is a muslim, those guys dont have any regard for serenity as they love playing fvcked up fuji songs at the top volume as if they are the only ones in the community

What do you mean you don't want to go to war over something that's affecting your health?.
look if you want peace better be ready for war. It'll surprise you most people avoid clashes with the man that's prepared for war.
Since other tenants are also complaining, it makes things easier for you.
Just call for a general meeting of all tenants with the Landlord present and thrash out the problem.
Police shouldn't be left off the table if the meeting fails.

Ishilove:

Call the meeting without delay o jare and seizing his set should be discussed in the agenda

Hallo.

Follow me to benin lets block his destiny

Then he will be in so many problems that he will have to sell everything in his house and start sleeping under bridge. Then you will have peace...

Oga you don't even need to bring this on NL. Report him straight to the landlord and if the landlord doesn't act, report him to the nearest police station. E be like say the noise never disturb you reach or you probably exaggerating.

Get or hire 4 giant Ahuja public address speakers, 4 Ahuja horn speakers that churches uses and a very solid amplifier,and set them facing is door and pump up the volume. If he can't enjoy his music for three nights he will cooperate.

I think you should follow through with your proposed steps going by step 1, 3 and 2. The guy no well!

I use to have such reported to d landlord he warned d guy nothing changed,wen he sees we no longer complain he stopped it on his own.

Your problem is the radio not the neighbour.

I hope I pointed you in the right direction.

Solve the puzzle and enjoy the serenity you cherish.

Me and that ur neighbour we be thesame i dey disturb my own niegbours here ehn!! But one tin i du is play davido and wizkid and all d children and everybody wud sing along! Nobody get mind to come complain to me cause i always keep a straight face

my guy please take tramadol abeg

CarlosTheJackal:
You can't confront your noisy neighbour but you take out time to fight igbos here daily. Yoruba guys can fear ehn

You must be an ìdiot. And who told you I'm Yoruba? It seems the best of education you could afford is one in which you were taught that there are two tribes in Nigeria, shey?

Just so you know, this has nothing to do with fear. In the end, most of you can't think deeply.

If you talk to him 100 times, he will never listen to you.
If you take the landlord option, he will lower his music volume for some days and increase it again (this time, higher than before).

Your best bet is to talk to your lawyer, if you don't have one, no problem, just walk into any law chamber, politely introduce yourself, briefly tell the lawyer the problem you're facing. Tell him /her to prepare a note you're going to serve the 'noise creator'.

The note should read that if he doesn't desist from constituting a public nuisance, you will have no other option than to charge him to a court of competent jurisdiction.

After the lawyer must have prepared the note, paste it at his door post or knock on his door and hand it over to him.
I
You don't need the support or corroboration of other Co tenants to achieve this, also bear in mind that the lawyer will charge you some legal fees, but the good news is that you will never hear his music again.

Good luck.

He is actually a Christian, I guess.

i have seen muslims with this particular noisy behaviour hence the reason for the statement

E pain am. You can't be in Osun and not have noisy neighbour.

bukiboy:
Try and make him your friend and discuss the issue with him lovely.

I'm not sure he's one I'd like to be friends with. I'm super picky when it comes to making friends.
,and unfortunately, he doesn't fit that category of those I'd want to make friends with for several reasons. Being good neighbours, I believe, would suffice.

Thank you, still.

This 1 no b matter nah, whnever he on his sound system, come high d volume, u too on ur own sound system, high ur own volume too, brother by d time u do am like dat for 2 to 3 times, him go lower him own

Best solution
Go to ur church lie to d pastor that u want to use d church speakers and amplifier 4 a small get together in ur house
Connect it and just place 2 speakers close to his room and boom play ur own music, make we see who go tire

Well, I'm in Enugu, if that ends your misery. There is a big difference between being introverted and claiming to be an animal in the name of a Lion just because I want to make a point.

Just so you know, I had a medical correction recently and took a medical leave which I didn't enjoy and ended up losing sleep. That you still live with your parents does not imply you shouldn't reason to figure that the noisy, annoying neighbour could be useful when the time comes, as such, I don't need to war with him.

I would indulge you and your other minions, but it won't be on this thread, trust me.

It has not gotten to that point of doing things anonymously. He is obviously younger than I am and I'm only being careful not to hurt him while trying to correct the anomaly.
