gabbytabby: If there are 4 tenants in the compound and all have a generator which they put off before they go to bed say by 12am and then one person, the special case, who would leave it on despite other people saying having it on all night means its difficult for them to get any sleep, they are usually also the trouble makers, wont pay rent , time to pay PHCN or any other bill all you hear is I no get money oh or I go pay later. I guess the solution is since PHCN take light, I will make my neighbours pay by creating noise nuisance in the neighbourhood and close my window while none of my neighbours who have opened windows to get fresh air would not sleep and that seems like the right thing to do.

gabbytabby: Dont mind Ekoboy he is a co owner him join build the house. Tenant like this need to speak up so that the Landlord knows he/she has a nuisance on their hands and let him take his generator under the bridge so that he can make as much noise as he likes. Now that I know that commonsense is not so common, I ask this particular question. Even people that have come to 9ja with little children dont say because them get petrol money nobody else go sleep they find ways to live and let live and then you get a numbskull who becomes the neighbourhood nuisance and a terror to other tenants who have to suffer hence they dont want to live with someone who would talk some sense into them. Then they wonder why they get an eviction notice. If you cant live like a reasonable human being and choose to behave like an animal then, you get treated like an animal.
Landlord of the year! its opinions like this that make you get the sort of tenants you get. Funny you are not even around so I believe you have power 24hrs where you are. So its easy for you to suggest ppl sleep under heat and mosquito bite because of generator noise.
PropertiesRe: Bitter Experience Living With Landlords by ekoboy: 7:35pm On Oct 27, 2013
Chartey: True but sometimes that gen thing annoyed me as a co-tenant. I got only about 3hrs of sleep and i had very hectic days. It was an estate kinda so there was no landlord to put tenants in check.
agreed its annoying. But unfortunately thats not a situation created by the tenant. Can't we just blame PHCN. Afterall the tenant still spends money running the generator. am sure if he has an option hw wld rather not run his generator. this idea of asking tenant to put off his generator at a certain I feel is just utmost nonsense. would you ask your neighbour in another compound to put off his generator? agreed its an unfortunate situation bt pls tenant shld be left out of it. if its possible a better location that would keep everybody fairly happy should be used.
PropertiesRe: Bitter Experience Living With Landlords by ekoboy: 5:49pm On Oct 25, 2013
raqueal: No, you need to understand that a tenant is never a owner. At all times, a tenant remains an occupier. Period! read your laws.

Now, you don't constitute nuisance because you can afford it. Tenants pay for noise and pollution? This is the first of it that i have heard. What about the other occupiers welfare? If you know that you want to leave your gen all night and constitute nuisance, then maybe you should consider building your own house too!
hope you would be able to build a house in every town that you leave in. that someone rents your accommodation doesn't make him an invalid. I have said it that if you want to live like a landlord then don't rent where you reside. if you are prepared to collect money from someone for your accommodation then also understand he has paid for some rights and privileges including running his generator all night. Now if you wouldn't do that make it clear to him before he PAYS. don't collect the poor tenants money, enjoy it and then remember that his generator disturbs you in the night. Its amazing how ppl find it difficult treating ppl the way they would want to be treated. I find it inconceivable that I would pay about 1m per annum for a flat and the landlord will tell me to sleep without light. On top my own money o. Not that am staying free o. Get it that you are a landlord doesn't make you richer or better than your tenant. a tenant is not obligated to worship the landlord. its simply a business arrangement. Unless you worship the recharge card seller for providing card for you to buy. Moreover ppl still build houses rent it out and use the money to rent somewhere else for themselves.
PropertiesRe: Bitter Experience Living With Landlords by ekoboy: 4:10pm On Oct 25, 2013
raqueal: I am not judging you but this scene plays out in my grandfathers house every time. Tenants mounting dstv dishes too close to the roof top, switching of generators around 1. am or leaving it all night. These are avoidable situations but everyone is so selfish. Some deliberately create nuisance do and you just can't empathize with them in situations like this
its their right! They paid for it. there is nothing selfish about wanting to have light all night if you can afford. still in the compound alone if you don't want disturbance. You need to understand that the tenant is a part owner once he pays his rent.
PropertiesRe: Bitter Experience Living With Landlords by ekoboy: 3:56pm On Oct 25, 2013
I always advice people that if you want to live like a landlord then please don't live with a tenant. The moment you have a tenant you become a co tenant and you cannot retain the privileges of a land lord. You cannot eat your cake and have it. Since many of.our landlords don't understand this, peeps just avoid houses that the landlord even lives close to ensure long life.

I hail shopclue, bbfever, sheade,i.,You guys sure form a formidable team. Nairaland has really being interesting in the last couple of days. Your ingenuity at spinning tales, derailing topics is really amazing. There is no doubting your intelligence. But what really confuses me is why scammers don't just use their brain to make money genuinely. Is there any special thrill that comes from defrauding people as against making money genuinely?
PropertiesRe: Tenant From Hell - Should I Get Mobile Police by ekoboy: 11:41pm On Dec 16, 2012
I think you should apply caution. Don't play into their hands. They can sue you for anything the moment you throw their things out.You can be sure they will claim to have suddenly come into huge sums of money. The table will be completely turned against you. Don't take the law into your hands. I'll advice you use the laws, they are their to protect you. I understand cases don't stay in court very long these days. Make sure you use a lagos lawyer(local), they have their ways with the judges.

FamilyRe: Why This Rise In Marriage Failure? by ekoboy: 7:34am On Sep 30, 2012
Ita human beings for. Marriages are not failing more because people are doing something worse these days but because the society has accepted it right for marriages to fail. Union of people to live as one will always bring disagreements but it takes society to let them know they can walk out of the marriages and that is what is happening today. Am sure the things that cause marriages to fail today would not have had the same effect in lets say the sixties.

Adeolu60: I read a post that said we should talk about it, and like I stated before that he doesn't want to talk about it and he's uncomfortable blah blah, so I actually told him he needs to tell me how it went down for a year and he was reluctant at first but after 24hrs of ignoring him and not feeding him home cooked meal and already packing for the mini vaca without him included, he now started like

Question: (me)why did you do it,

(him) answer: I don't know but I guess you not paying attention to me is part of it, you work too much and I just felt forgotten, but I'm not saying not entirely , just part of it but I was just stupid , it was not okay and I'm sorry.

Qn: is there something she's doing for you that I'm not doing/giving you?
Ans; no

Qn: so where does she live and how do you guys meet and when do you get to see her cos you are way too busy with work and kids?
Ans:She lives out of town and I go over once in a while to see her.

Qn: for a year!
Ans: mute

Qn: what do you guys talk about on the phone for 70mins!
Ans: mute

So my qn to married men here?

What is your problem and why do you go hunting when you have at home?
You know there is no right answer here. Getting details of the affair is only going to make it hurt more.
You have to find a way of understanding that thats how men are and you feeling hurt is only because the society has made you see his behaviour as bad,thats why you are feeling cheated. Am sure if this was only fifty years ago, this conversation wouldn't have happened. You would see nothing unnatural about his behaviour. Unfortunately thats the make of men. No matter how the society wants to change men, they cannot really change. All that will happen is men either making concious effort to behave or making concious effort to hide their misbehaviour. I'll advise all women here that their husband have remained faithfully to appreciate them a little bit more. I tell you, it is with some effort.

FamilyRe: Rebuilding A Relationship After An Affair by ekoboy: 8:38am On Sep 16, 2012
Kobojunkie: Please stop suffering in silence. . . there is power in number, and right now you are fighting this alone. I think your mother will understand(assuming you have a good relationship with her at least).

Marriages can become hell holes if issues like these are not handled properly and you may not be able to do it alone. This man purposely chose to disrespect your marriage and if care is not taken, it might happen again.

You have a family, USE THEM to your advantage. Yes, I know that whole "MRS" badge is important to a lot of Nigerians but reality is we are all aware of what goes on behind closed doors and most times it is ugly so there is no need to be ashamed of revealing the truth especially when you did not cause the problem. If your husband had cared so much about the image of his marriage, he would not have defiled the marriage in the way that he did.
SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO TELL HER FAMILY. Time hopefully will heal her. Family would only make it worse. Imagine having somebody like you as a mother, is that not automatic divorce, and who will suffer eventually. She has a husband who has apologised, that means he is ready to change, work with that and you guys will have a good marriage. By apologising he knows you'll pay closer attention to him and that means cheating will become more difficult but yet he told you and apologised. To me thats a sign of a man that he is making consious effort to keep his marital vows. He probably needs you to support him to do that. Whatever you do DON'T TELL YOUR FAMILY.( By the way this is from experience. I've seen families wreck marriages. In the end everybody will go to their various homes. There is still a word like forgiveness, use it.(however difficult you think it is). Realise that it is a route that will give you long lasting joy. Don't think that you are doing it for him, rather you are doing it for yourself. Infact write out all your options, including not forgiving him and try to imagine the outcomes based on peoples life and experiences around you. Just make him realise you won't take it from him again and work with him to help your marriage.

Adeolu60: That sounds like what my Daddy will say, but it's easy to say to move on but I'm trying to do what's best for my kids but what about me too? My feelings, the thoughts in my head , almost a year ! That's a long time to just poof and forget,

we just moved in our new home when he started dating that lady( approximately) , what's his problem?

Most men should get their priority straight and stop living a double life, it's disgusting and irritating, I had to run some serious blood work on myself to have a piece of mind that I'm not infected with some Poo.t.y bug!

I still refuse to tell my family, all the insults I'm reading here is exactly what I'll get from them esp from people like johndoe, I know a family member that'll say that but not to my face of course, or I'll collect his vehicle.

And mums are very caring and loving but you don't know which of her friends she'll tell that will put gas into the fire I'm trying to quench!

( but I love her to death but I'll spare her this headache cos she'll worry and winter is here, and she can't come now cos her arthritis, she can't even handle fall season)

I've seen a lot of real life mysteries and I'd prefer to be a meek than to blow my life out of proportion, that's why I prefer to blow it here where nobody knows me and still I choose useful advice and talks from people that are serious.

Nl is a joke to some people when it comes to serious stuff , but to some of us , it's a place to learn and keep learning from other people's experience.

I thank everybody for their input and advice, trust me, I know whose to follow , apply, practice and work with .

Thank you very much and have yourselves a great weekend! Life's too short!
You know what to do, but you choose to bring this matter to a faceless forum and think everybody will sympathise with you situation.

Your dad has given you a good advice but you've ignored it to come to nairaland. SMH. You think there is a perfect man out there? You have a man that did what many men would do but had the courage to come out and tell you and apologise and you are looking for advice. You can go ahead and kill a good relationship but don't blame your husband. It'll all be your fault. A wiser woman would just grab him immediately leaving you with nothing. Maybe then you'll realise how foolish you were.

I've come to see that the human is worse than animals. we claim to have human feelings bt there is really nothing like. Look at the world 2day. Take Syria as an example. Human beings are WICKED!

I can also relate with the suspicion of bad belle from SEC staff. I work in a federal parastatal and i know what happened when someone was brought from outside the establishment to head it. The old staff refused to see anything good in him because he tried to fight the corruption and poor work attitude. They eventually forced him out. Today most ppl are looking back at his reforms and regreting that he was forced out, because all the good work he started has simply died. uncompleted projects here and there.
