How Can I Deal With My Neighbours? by Holywizard: 5:28pm On Jun 06, 2017
I'm a serving Corp member from the East posted far away to Ijebu land.
I secured an accommodation in an 8 rooms face-me-i-face-You compound. I'm cool with it because there are only 3 families with 4 little kids in Kindergarten classes.
I don't associate much with them, only greetings.
Our landlord and his family are in the same compound but in another building. He is a good man.
My problem is constant beggings from my neighbours and my landlord's children and their mother.
Landlord's wife- "Corper please help me with your torchlight, give me matches". Right now if she wants to cook in the night, my torchlight must be with her for hours. Sometimes they would return it in the morning.
Her children always are always begging for this and that. Last week, my landlord's 3rd son knocked very early in the morning that I should help him with my slippers. His own got spoilt and that while back from school he would bring it back. Till today he hasn't brought it back. In fact, my slippers is now his official school sandal.
Neighbours-
These ones tire me...
Since am the only Corp member in the compound, I bought for myself Ludo game to be keeping myself company. Right now, my ludo is now one of the family's properties. They don't care about the owner. Once I collect it back, in the next 30 mins they'd send their son to come collect it.
About two persons have tried to borrow money from me which I declined.
One other woman was fond of begging me vegetable oil and other foodstuff until I stopped giving her. (A married woman).

Please am tired of giving out my things unnecessarily to these people because am an ordinary Corp member relying only on the federal government allowance (#19,800).
My fellow Nairalanders I need an advice on how to stop them without insulting or annoying anyone.

Moderators please help me out.

You never get sense. By the time they eat you up like locusts, you will start learning how to say "No, I don't have" grin

Seriously dude, the first thing you should think about in any situation is yourself. If the situation doesn't favour you, step away...

Blessed are the givers and grateful are the receivers. Kikiki cheesy




Stop being a nice corper to your beggy beggy neighbours. If you don't put an end to it now, they will 'finish' you.

You remember the parable of the ten virgns, right? When next they come knocking, tell them what the wise virgins told the foolish ones.

Coffar, but how u wan take play ludo by yourself. Anyway, sha be careful with personal stuffs u give out, like that slippers, just let go. There is nothing much you can do other than to keep saying no, or you look for another accommodation. Remember that you are in a strange land.

That's so irritating and inconvenient.
Stop giving them!

They should be the ones giving you and not the other way round.

Reason why I hate face me I face you. Op, rent a one room self contain or the only thing they'll give you in that house is a toilet infection.

Which part of ijebu land are you?

Why on earth will you give your personal effect to them? You have started giving them, to tell you to stop is looking for trouble, you have to endure them for the rest of your stay or look for another accommodation. And when you get anoda, respect yourself by politely refuse to give out ur things to avoid this type of story.

Lol. A rather permanent solution.

I can't believe there is someone out there who cannot say no. They won't kill him if he does. The worst they will do is hate him.

Na real otondo you be o grin grin

My advice: everything of yours borrowed as at tonight should not be collected back. Gift them, then replace and refuse to borrow anyone subsequently. If they ask for touchlight, tell them to go and collect the one with Iya Imole tongue
