I went to visit one of my friends in Ibadan on Sunday, I told him to fill up his generator tank because I don't like heat. We went to get fuel and turned on the generator.
When we got in, my friend started gisting me about his landlord's attitude towards him, the man called him one day and told him to stop bringing ladies home, he said the agent that got him the house lied to him that the landlord wasn't staying in the same compound, it was after he paid and already moved in he discovered the landlord was living in the same compound, at this point he had no choice anymore since he had already moved in, and ever since then the man has being given him different problems. I advised him to try enduring till his payment is due and move out of the house.
While we were gisting it was around some mintues past 12, we suddenly heard a loud bang on his window, had to pause the ps3 we were playing out of the shock, I already located the next available weapon incase someone was trying to play funny.
My friend went to check who was banging on the window only to discover it was the landlord, he said why would my friend's generator still be on by that time. My friend ignored him and the next thing this man did was turned off the Gen, at this point myself and my friend got very annoyed especially because i was about to win the FIFA we were playing, had to follow my friend out to see what's going on.
This man bought a mat outside and lay down beside the generator. It was when my friend told the man I was a military officer from Kano who came visiting that this man stood up and composed himself, he reluctantly went inside when he saw my strong face.
My friend turned on the generator again and when we got inside we started laughing about the whole situation, if not that my friend had lied that I was a military personnel this man would have left his wife and children inside his house just to sleep beside the generator to prevent us from turning on the generator...
Crazy people everywhere...P.S we later replayed the game and i lost... the landlord is not within his rights to ask your friend to not bring on female visitors. About the Gen, there are some areas where everyone is expected to shut it down at certain time of night for security reasons. If your friend has signed that, then it's within the landlord's right to ask him to turn it off. Also, if na cassava-grinding generator your friend use, e suppose still dey off am sharply for night make people for sleep. 1 Like 1 Share |

Honestly, the best Lord over lands are those who don't share spaces with their tenants.
It gives self respect for the land lord himself and breathing space for the tenants.
I was determined to move out of my present house when the landlord son (a weed smokers) didn't give me a rest of mind out of envy. He once claimed he's in logger head with me because I'm a Muslim with a Christian girl friend who pays me visit on weekends. That amongst his excesses.
I was going to move out until the rest of the Landlord's daughters held a meeting that he should vacate the house because they received too much of complaint from other tenants. Hence I intends to use a year more.
Bottom line, some landlords or landladies can make tenants life miserable so also some tenants can drag owners spaces with them. 1 Like 1 Share |

Do you understand how the house was built?what made you even jump into conclusion that he was disturbing other tenant?
Why would someone have a generator running at midnight? Not only the noise impact, sleep disturbance and discomfort it has on other people, its noisy sound(depending...), compromises the security of the environment. You won't even hear when - an intruder enters your corner or there is an emergency situation like fire outbreak - people are calling you out to run to safety until you hear a bang on your door. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Crazy people everywhere...P.S we later replayed the game and i lost... Living with Landlords is hell especially in Ibadan so your story could be quite true. I remember another experience in this same Ibadan where a senior colleague at work told me his landlord will deny him fetching water until some certain people have fetched water and he has to go to work SMH. So, it is a very important requirement especially in Ibadan to avoid houses that have landlords. You can go behind the caretaker to the building the next day or in a few hours after being shown the building, and ask the tenants if a Landlord lives with them. That is one of the ways to go about it. My 2 cents. |

It was dark, I was arguing something with the landlord quietly before his wife jumped up from where she was sitting nearby to start cursing me. I am tall and chesty many do take me for either a police or military officer too. I challenged her and asked her if she knew who I am. We've not met before. I go to work very early and return late and she comes to the house sometimes only. She had to mellow down when I threatened her so much and criticized her for not knowing who she was talking at. I later found out that she is a very troublesome woman. 1 Like 1 Share |

As usual, on NL the landlord is the evil one not the tenant that refuse to consider others living in the compound, I blame him for not including it in the agreement, houses with multiple flats do have an agreement for Gen to be on till 11 pm maximum most times.
There's a 16 flat house I know and if every tenant puts on Gen till past 12 it would be crazy.

If you had read my post well you would have seen the clause 'if you have' let's even assume it's only him and the landlord living in the compound, it's not proper leaving your Gen on till that time because you will the disturbing the other person, even the next compound.
People like that are simply inconsiderate and selfish that's all.
In some CDAs here you do not put on your Gen till past 11, the overnight security guard will come bang your gate to put it off as they claim its a security risk and they can't hear what's happening with generators on.

The only thing I have come to appreciate in humans is that we all are naturally selfish... I remember when I was still living in a commercial house (4 decking) and one tenant was just oppressing everybody with his generator because he was rich; he runs his generator till day break and we called a meeting and complained to him but he warned us never to call him to such a meeting. We complained to the landlord but the next thing we heard from the landlord is that if you cannot withstand the noise you pack out....
That generator was directly under my window and I hardly sleep any night electricity is out... I had to resort in vandalising that generator till that man regained his senses and started switching the gen off once its 12midnight which was what we told him in the meeting.
After one year when he couldn't withstand the 'discomfort' he moved into his own house. How did you do that bro? |
