Good day beautiful people,
I am in a bit of a fix and need advice on how best to confront this situation .

There is this mama put restaurant besides my house in lagos but separated by a fence.
However the said restaurant is built attached to the fence in the next compound and that makes it awfully close to my windows and they cook with firewood not even charcoal but all manner of firewood.

The owner of the mama-put a yoruba woman ( very hard working ) starts cooking by 6 a.m up till 11 p.m with smokes going up and into the windows of my bedroom ( upstairs) and other rooms in my house making my room very stuffy and causing me to keep shutting all my windows .

Personally I can't stand any form of smoke be it cigarettes or smokes from burning stuffs

With the high cost of fuel I can't keep running Gen to keep my rooms ventilated and power supply is poor in my area .

I have thought of approaching her concerning this matter but from my observation the woman is very harsh n raze and I fear she might not reason with me .

I understand it's her means of livelihood but I am suffering cus of it and all my cloths in my wardrobes are all smelling smoke ... My room has smoke smell as a result of this , it only reduces if I keep my windows shut for weeks .
I hate problems and I avoid conflicts in every way ... But I have been suffering this for long now

Is there any authority I can report to ?

Or is there a better way to make her understand my plight and switch to cooking with gas without appearing like her enemy of progress ?

Please your advice is needed thanks

If you are in Lagos report het to LASEPA. I believe they deal with these issues.... Noise pollution and other forms... Report her don't let her kill you with smoke.

SIXTEENTH:
Chill bro this her means of survival,

she can as well sees you as an enemy of progress.

Consider the price of gas too

What is this one saying?
What if there was an asthma patient in the house?
have you ever heard of SECOND HAND SMOKING + Lung Cancer ?

So I should bring a BLOCK INDUSTRY MACHINE to the back of your window and you will understand because it is my means of survival?

Nigerians and sentiments

Palm Oil Nko?

For sure she has been doing that business before you came to that area, and the smoke disturbs nogjust you but also other tenants and surrounding yet they kept mute...

She will not stop just because of you bro I will advise put yourself together and move out of that house because you can't keep on closing your windows in the heat because of one mama put is cooking....

Don't confront her at all.
If u have some money u can start by buying for her a gas cylinder let her fill d gas (that's if its me sha).
Next u ho and petition d environmental protection agency and the human right too.
Follow her like a civilised person.
When u petition do not include ur name or identity. U better use a group name.
U will be surprised to know u are not d only one suffering this within that place. But like u mentioned...yoruba people dey fear well well. Dem no ho ever confront her.

Simply go to her and say,

"madam, please your cooking with firewood is bringing too much smoke in my room. Please can you adjust your cooking to gas?"

Reason with her, she's isn't a monster, she won't eat you.

You are spot on. Your advice is top notch.

SIXTEENTH:
Chill bro this her means of survival, if your windows are class you can slides them as usual and if you have a locked wardrobe you can as well shot them all because even if you confront her she is a well known woman around the neighborhood and she can as well sees you as an enemy of progress.
Consider the price of gas too and other raw materials she's using and even if you report her to any law enforcement agent, they might sideline her as well so please approach her with diplomacy and reasons with her on the way forward then watch her reaction first there you can know your way forward.
Best of luck.

Oga, go to LASEPA office and report. They will handle this issue for you. Google their office address.

I hate problems and I avoid conflicts in every way ... But I have been suffering this for long now

I advise you look for another house away and move.

You want mama put to still buy gas in Tinubu's economy, if you can't close your windows, relocate.

Complain to your landlord or move out of the house. No be every problem una go dey carry come meet the elders on nairaland. Make una try to dey use una brain too

Wahala everywhere.

Kai and this thing can pain ehn. Me that loves Fresh Air so much. I even prefer Fresh Air to AC. But Nigeria Air too dey polluted.

If you Report the woman and they prosecute her. Your adversities in life don start be that.

Except the woman is among the tiny fraction 10% of Human Beings who remain in that country.

An average black being doesn't care about his/her fellow being.

Know this and have peace of mind.

Simply tell the agent or landlord of the house, complain severally....they will be the one to take i up with the woman

If you stay in Lagos...... Report this pollution to the appropriate authorities........

Dont approach the woman as there is nothing you say that will make her adjust her cooking arrangement.
Codedly send a petition to lasepa ie Lagos state environmental protection agency. I assure you they will speedily look into the matter.

Discuss am with your caretaker or landlord first wait for the outcome. don't confront her yourself

Exactly part of my major concerns ...

Currently I don't know any environmental agency to report to .

Thanks for your input

LASEPA.

Contact LASEPA they will swing into action immediately

You dey try o. You're reducing your life span small small. Pollution of any kind is bad for the health

Buy her a gas and a burner ...
She'd ask why ..then you'd state your reason in very polite way .. even if she doesn't collect the gas .. She'd change her cooking location for your gesture...

It's either you report her to LASEPA...OR,
You invest in The new RESPILON® adjustable window screen, transforms an ordinary window screen into a filter that blocks smog, emissions, allergens, dust and pollen from entering an open window.

You no get

BRATISLAVA:
If you tell her, she may decide to increase the thing she's doing to spite you the more. Or follow the Nollywood storyline and set up a juju against you for daring to mention it, since you say she's harsh and... Raze.

Don't you have an environmental protection agency? Sounds like a lot of pollution.

Why do people reason like this?


When have we so degraded as a race that we don’t even believe in simple communication?

There is a way you talk to someone, even if she is the devil, she will reason with you. She is a human being like you.

We should honestly learn the act of communicating. We are all humans and have the same building block. Even if our experience differ.

Nigerians and sentiments

Sometimes if truly you needed a comfort in your zone then the best advice is to get yourself a home I mean a house built by you but remember you might get a neighbor who's means of livelihood might be a nuisances to your health and hazard but what can you do?

No lives is perfect so I appreciate the little comfort you got.

Remembered the unfortunately one's at the IDP camp!

You'll need to approach and speak with her in a civil manner, Also inform your landlord or caretaker about it.

If nothing is done about it go to the local government office around your area and ask for environmental sanitation office ( they wear white and khaki brown uniform) make a an official report and also try to have evidence of steps you've taken for her to stop it in the past.

Make sure the report is official. Within 2 weeks it'll be sorted out

LoveJesus87:
omo I don't envy ur position and I don't pray to fall in such temptation

But as e be now, u have to do all within ur means to make sure it stops cos its clear u can't continue that way for too long... is that place ur own built house? If not, try moving to another location...
And if its ur house, approach her sincerely and let her know what you are SUFFERING... na just for her to change position nw... and If she no Gree...den go police station ooo cos na serious case. N
No be until u die from smoke poisoning before u take steps ahi don't u have children?

OP This is the vest advice you can take. If it is not your house start planning to move . on the other hand,if it is your house approach her with civility otherwise apply violence

Don't seat in your house and conclude that if confronted she might not listen

Since the smoke is disturbing you, go to her tell her your mind make sure it's not her rush hours or early morning because Yoruba poeple have this thing with Laro kutukutu sh*t

Make sure you talk to her in a mannerful way for her to see reasons with you that the smoke is really disturbing you

Option two, try been her customer first whilst you are at it let her know you are her neighbor

In that way you've established That mutual grounds to let the cat out of the bag.

The best thing to do is to change the position of your window or you quit the house for your health and peaceful mind.
