hello everyone. i am living in a lovely area which seems to answer to all my needs. however, etisalat has erected one of their network masts near my house and the suffering is not small at all.
first of all, they did not follow the NCC regulation of minimum distance from living quarters and secondly, they did not install silent generators. so, now, for 24 hrs of everyday, my windows are rattling, the noise is unbearable (worse at night) sometimes i have fumes entering my house. I cannot even open all my windows to allow for cross ventillation because I will get deaf.

we have written several letters to etisalat to get their generators out of there or install a silent generator build a wall to shield us from the noise before their contract for that space expires but to no avail.

Please, is there anyone who can advice me on what to do??

chibabe3: Unfortunately, you are more concerned about the noise and seems to be ignorant of the possible cancer and other disease that could result from staying too close to a mast. I will advise that you pack out of the house as soon as possible or face the consequences of your action/inaction.
Don't bother about law suits or litigation as this companies are too rich to prosecute any case in court.

rabonni: pack out son........ the house is not urs...........ur landlord nor complain waiting be ur own Na?

packman: [size=20pt]NOW YOU SEE FUNNY NAIRALANDER'S SPILL TRASH

SUE THEM SUE THEM SUE THEM NA YOUR HOUSE ABI NA BOTH OF UNA RUN THE NEGOTIATING TERMS OF THE PLACE THEY OCCUPY

MR ...OP... IF ITS UNBEARABLE AS YOU CLAIM THEN SIMPLY FIND ANOTHER HOUSE AND PACK.......

AND DON'T GO AROUND MAKING LOUSY NOISE ABOUT IT.............

FOR THOSE ADVISING THIS YOUNG MAN TO SUE........E...T..I...S.....A...L...A..T HOW MUCH WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO CONTRIBUTE IF THE CASE STARTS......

SUE KO.....SUE....NI... OGA PACK OUT AND NEVER YOU RETURN THERE AGAIN [/size]

Keneking: Are you the landlord of this space? Are you getting free etisalat internet? Are you allowed to put your local antenna on the mast? Are you perturbed with the vibrations from the transmitters? Are you aware you can vacate your present apartment for the good of the community i.e better network?
Are you aware that even if you write NCC, ICPC, CPC, AXC, PXD, you may never win an award that can buy you earphone to ease the tension. Are you aware that you can get free power from that generator that you claim is disturbing you?

francafrank: O boy sorry. just get a lawyer to write to them and be sure he puts at least 1bn as damages you will see action immediately.

those at the foot of a mast r exposed to no emission/radiation from the mast. the mast transmits outside and not downwards so, u dnt get anything frm staying at the base. except of course, HORRIBLE NOISE. but thanks for ur concern sha. for those suggesting lawsuit, i dnt think i have a case against etisalat. if i have to sue, i'll have to sue my landlord cos my contract was with him and not etisalat. maybe i shld sue him and in turn, he can sue etisalat.
the other option, parking, hmmmmmm it'l take me another year to wrestle my remaining money away from the landlord. . . i just tire.

I am in Port Harcourt not Lagos. I dont know where to get the addresses of any of the NCC or the CDA that have been suggested that i write to. I have approached d etisalat people, approached my landlord, i've written letters so much that even my laptop and pen now knw the story themselves. Etisalat said 'we will attend to the issue as soon as possible' and na dia we still de since a year now. can anyone help with the addresses i can write to?

chitoria: Do u really have what it takes to take etisalat to court and win d case in dis corrupt nation of ours where some one bought a car of 255 million naira and yet he stand tall.please my candid advice to you is to formally contact NESREA,they will come and investigate,and may send NCC to come as well and conduct their own investigation,d noise level of the generator should not exceed a certain decibile.Reporting to nesrea is the first option.am talking out of experience,I have a site close to a residential house and a young guy that study law took my company to court for noise pollution,believe you me,he woefully lost the case.you can't fight a company of such,they will bribe their way through and you won't get justice.at worst friend if the house doesn't belong to you,pack out for you health,d fumes from the gen set can cause you health issue be wise n prudent in you action.cheers
