Things To Avoid When You Move Into A New Neighborhood by RoyalBlu(op): 10:12pm On Oct 20, 2024
So I recently moved to a new neighborhood.

There's this one neighbor who's been trying really hard to get into my space, but I'm having none of it.

Can't afford 'see finish' lipsrsealed

What are your thoughts on this topic great nairalanders...

Proud, arrogant, selfish yet poor n managing Nigerians/neighbours that can't say hii to save their lives.
Re: Things To Avoid When You Move Into A New Neighborhood by Nazgul:
1. Check crime rates and speak to locals about their experiences. Nigeria these days isn't safe.

2. Look for nearby grocery stores, restaurants, parks, and recreational facilities. This would help you unwind during weekends, public holidays or festivities.

3. Research the quality of local schools, even if you don’t have children, cos one day you would. Also check the proximity from the schools to where you stay and the prices of private schools as well.

4. If you don't have a car yet, check if it would be easy for you to access public transit. (Check the distance from your house to the nearest bus stop) . Most especially if you would be relying on public transport daily for commuting.

5. Consider potential noise from traffic, nightlife, religious worship centers or nearby industries. And decide if you'll be able to cope with them.

The best respect so far is just greet and go ur way, they will find it hard to know more about you, no give them chance as they r the monitoring spirit, once they see you, it's your topic they will analyze the next day

Na so, until you dey in trouble wey you go need at least a neighbour to turn up for you sad

I live alone with my wife and kids in my compound and sometimes it gets boring especially when my kids has gone to school and wifey go to the market.
Often wish to have tenants but I after reading and listening to what some landlords goes through in the hands of their tenants I just died the idea of having one.

It pays to stay alone and mind your business but there are times you will need people especially in times of health emergencies.

They're the first family we need just don't tolerate nonsense, no matter how big you think you are you still need neighbors, I do go to club or come back from work late hours and neighbor are the one to help me, me and my neighbors we can have misunderstanding but not to extend of ignoring each other, sometimes we throw party.



Just don't take shit and create boundary and use this formula of NEPA sometimes be free and smile generous and sometimes go flight mood.

Affable but indecipherable.

This formula works.

Unnecessary association with neighbours no mean say make dem no forsake you when you need them. It's best you say hi and give everyone their long rope.
