My girlfriend is shocked that for two years, me and my neighbour has been calling ourselves Chief, Baba, Eleniyan, Odogwu, Big Man, e.t.c without knowing each other's name.

Poverty mentality.... When you're made, you worry less about the name of your neighbor.

What's more important is to know the character of your neighbor and not his/her name

When we were growing up as kids, we knew other kids not just in our street, but the area. Everyone knew everyone's house, siblings and parents. Today, my children don't even know the name of their neighbours let alone play with them. We think it's a sign of civilization and mind your business, but it shows how far apart we have grown and how we are falling as a society
Bros you grew up in the street na why, you should be proud of yourself for taking your kids to a good neighborhood.

As things stand, it is now up to you to show them the way to mingle with their peers outside of school . Through playdates with families kids and your friends kids, take them for games and all that. ABI you want make them comut outside play with sand.

Oga the world is growing move with it, there are still plenty communities where children still live the way you lived when you were a kid, would you want that to always be status quo?

I'm guilty of this too. I don't know my neighbour's face. I've lived there for 2 years just the two of us and the landlord. If I pass her on the road I wouldn't know.
I live upstairs, I only come down when I'm going to work or church...

In the abroad, when you live in a 22 storey apartment, it's hard to know everyone.

But in naija... I know my neighbors children's names, my neighbors workplace, most of his coworkers, I know he is doing a little ... in his work place because his work and position do not match his lifestyle. I basically know everyone in my naija hood, we exchange pleasantries and I know those names I should know but we never call ourselves by our names, we just say my oga! grin

Though at my core i think am introvereted. But for security sake just get the real names . I think currently the world has been moving towards being anti-social , which is not really good. Socialise atleast a little.

Haha. No, she wasn't.

Her meter was faulty. Since my apartment was vacant, the landlady temporarily put her on the meter assigned to my house.

But shortly after I moved in, her meter was fixed, and her connection taken off my meter.

O boy,the guy's reasoning just threw me off balance.
His whole essence of knowing his neighbours is for one of them to take him out of his poverty!
This is entitlement mentality on a different scale!!

If you have lived in Asia, this behavior would have been very normal to you. I once lived in a place and my next door neighbor was a very reclusive japanese business man. For over 5 years, we only nodded at each other once we run into each other coincidentally at the entrance doors. Got to know he's japanese from another Nigerian neighbor. I didn't even know about the nationalities of all those living around the other apartments, though their facial outlook gave away their ethnicities. I think Nigerians and maybe Africans like to know everything about their neighbors. They want to know where you're from, where you're working, when you go out and when you come back. I personally hate that nonsense..
Swear..I hate it when people don't mind their business

Too much closeness is not good.I have come across the attitude of some neighbours.By the time una begin gist na that time them go dey tax you anyhow.Them go dey ask for matches,gas cooker to take warm food,etc.And they can waste things they borrow but know how to manage theirs.

I don't have same compound neighbor but 90%of the people in my street know me especially kids.
That aunty that has fine dog.
I know a few people by face but not by name. My opposite neighbor and his wife do check up on me from time to time and so does my neighbor to the left.
When they don't see me for sometime they know at my gate to know how I'm doing. They are all grandparents, but we rapour very well.

Great point. I'm actually beginning to realize this. Your best bet to financial freedom actually relies heavily on your social interaction or social capital like some call it
