Put salt inside his fuel tank. That engine will not work till eternity. Then come give thanks to me.

[/s]

Are you also going to put salt in his bank account stopping him buying another gen?
Anyway, salt in fuel tank is a fallacy as far as genset is concerned.

Funny thing about this whole matter is that the generator is not in the OPs compound o, and you're advising him to pour salt.

If everyone behaves like you, the country will be in Anarchy by now.
How are you different from the Govt you are blaming, when all you know and care about is "i before others"?

But that is just a minor problem, your bigger problem is that of ignorance!
Because you dont understand that an Inverter, even the Cheap, Home Made one, is far, far cheaper than running a Generator!
It does not need regular servicing and repair like a generator. cost less than 40% to run, compared to a generator, you dont have to go out in the night to switch it off or add fuel and it is NOISELESS.
Yes, l used it for a few years and l am telling you from experience.

And this mentality of "As far as l can afford it", is what is causing people like you to misbehave in public.
Just because you can afford a Caterpillar, doe snot mean you have the right to drive one to work on public road, damaging the road for other users.

you wen get knowledge, beg your government to provide a constant power supply....... Ask the guy for his address and go and sell your inverter idea to him..... I live in an apartment where all 16 tenants in the yard have generators...... If you feel you can't cope, pack out... Don't expect other people to live in discomfort because they have a neighbor..... Do u know if the man have kids who are not cool with heat? Do u know if he has food items that needs regular power to keep fresh? Na only your own you sabi.... Oga as far as he can afford it, he should use his gen.... If e too pain anybody, beg government to provide a stable electricity or move to vgc or banana island where u have less generators and noise..... It's simple..... Nobody will inconvenience themselves and families because of anyone

Contrary to what everyone thinks, you do have the right to peaceful sleep while he also has the right to run a generator.
So,
- you can first talk to said neighbour and let them know the generator is the cause of a major disturbance to you. There are options like getting a noise inhibiting enclosure, relocating the generator, amongst others.
- if the first option fails, reach out to the LASEPA ( Lagos state environmental protection agency) with complaints. It will take a while, but they will look into the issue, probably first warn the neighbour to take one of the options I listed above and if the complaints continue, sanctions will be placed on them.
Again, it will take a while.

Hello nairalanders, Please as I am typing this short piece, am seriously boiling with rage as am unable to sleep. There is a building beside my house where one of the occupants is always putting on his gen at any slightest opportunity of NEPA outage.

The most annoying aspect is that he uses the generator deep into the night and the noise usually affects my sleep. Presently, there is light in the area but I guess they did not recharge their prepaid meter so he switched on his generator since around 7pm and he is yet to switch it off as am typing.

Is a tenant given the right to switch in his gen overnight while denying others the right to good night rest. I am thinking of reporting him to the appropriate Lagos State authority but don't know which one can take it up seriously.

.... Aunty, take correction..... I have asked you this question and u didn't answer... How will you feel if he "innocently" say you walk like an old prostitute and you happen to stumble across such a comment?

Yankee101:
I see the way some minds work.

Why destroy it cos of the sound?

Talk to him or report it, not destroy it

That is a "sample of the mentality" of most Nigerians!
Most of them are wicked, destructive, unreasonable and Low I.Q lots.

The first thing that crosses their mind is how to spoil what belongs to others, the same thing they can afford!
You can see it from the way they drive on the road, always trying to use one ramshackle contraption to dent a neat, expensive ride.

Report him to the authority

You are disturbing yourself by focusing on the generator. If you let things be you will adapt and your brain cancel out the generator sound. Same as people from village that come to live in the city ... they hear every car and okada that pass by.... every siren ... all the car horns. Do these sounds ever disturb city people from sleeping? They don't. But should the city person go to the village....they hear every frog ... every bird ... and even the quietness disturb them from sleeping. Do these disturb the village people from sleeping? They don't. In time you will cancel out the generator sound.

Unfortunately for u, we had a relationship were we had opportunities to be open with one another...there is no time he does not feel bad abt d snoring..I recorded him and he himself said he sounds like an old goat..was very happy wen I bought d ear plugs...so uncle sand sand...listen to explanation and shut it..

HRHQueenPhil:


If u don't have the balls to confront him as a man, go and buy ear plugs..I love my ex too much but dude can sleep and snore like an old goat..used his money to buy the most expensive ear plugs since I can't be waking him up all the time

Old goat ���

Report to LASEPA. The M.D. is a woman called Fashawe.
She will take up the issue. Nobody has a right to inconvenience others with their comfort, albeit noise.

You could forward your noise complaint to dg@nesrea.gov.ng

I see a lot of talk to the guy, talk to him that what? He should not switch on his gen

OK

Since you have adjusted your mental being to perceive that very sound as disturbance, I can't advise you much. There are people that can sleep comfortably with such mono rhythmical sound, that is, the sound is just constant. But such people may not be able to sleep with a dogs bark that is irregular, that is the sound comes & goes repeatedly. And such sound are often not good for BP patients. But since you have been used to a calm & quiet environment. This must be a disturbance to you. It might take time to adjust.

In your other post, you said you needed a cheap room self-contained apartment at Aguda, Mushin. I don't know about the availability of electricity there. But location matters too.

That's the neighbour's responsibility sir.

TenQ:

Why dont you build a sound-proof box for his generator. If you are interested, I could show you how to build a crude one.

Take it easy, l can understand your " Poverty mentality".
If only you will apply half of the energy you expend on all this gra gra and selfishness, you will realise that Life could actually be better for you.
"Birds of a feather, flock together",... living in the midst of carbon Monoxide from 16 Generators may have had a negative effect on your faculties so, it is understandable you react this way.

You see, l dont sell Inverters and to be honest, l got the knowledge for free and will never sell it to anyone, that will be ungodly.
You can use an Old, unused UPS, as an Inverter, all you need is one or more battery and a Charger!
It will power your Fans throughout the night and one or two bulbs, irrespective of the number of children you have.
And more importantly, ANYONE who can afford to put a generator on, ALL NIGHT, can afford this cheapsake Inverter, that means YOU can afford it.
It has nothing to do with Govt or Banana Island.

Like l said, People Perish for lack of Knowledge.
The day you "calm the-Bleep-down and ask how to go about this and when you actually install it, you will thank me for drawing your attention to it. It is easier than you think
Trust me on that.

BTW: One of the yardsticks of a developed and sensible people, is their ability to put the interest of their Neighbours first.
If Nigerian Politicians and Dictator are not like you, you wont be sleeping inside toxic fumes from 16 Generators!

Lol. This is why lagosians are driving and walking around tense, angry and ready to blow at the slightest pinch.
These sounds are loud and will disrupt your sleep. This will make for all forms of sickness, crankiness, poor judgement amongst other things.

Don't allow the abnormal to be normal.

How can you jump to be responding to someone you did not read what they wrote?

Honestly, l cant help people like you because you are so steeped in your foolishness.

Can you imagine! Not just Lagosians, but Nigerians in general, are adapting to all sorts of abnormality.
People are trying to adapt to what is dangerous for their own health and take it as "Normal".
Apart from the Noise, what about the obnoxious fumes coming out of the generators?
You see why diseases like Cancer are increasing exponentially, among Nigerians
