Trust me, you have a very good landlord. May God continue to bless him. I can't forget in a hurry one of the most horrific experiences I had.

A friend of mine ( of blessed memory)who travelled abroad came back and was needed a place to stay. As bachelor wey I be, I accommodated him because I felt it would be a waste of money for him to lodge in a hotel for like 2 months. On fateful day, I went to see my parents and called this my friend that I may come back late, so he should please be on the look out in case the gate is locked.

Unfortunately for me, my phone ba3 died and unknowingly to me, this my friend had gone out but put my key somewhere for me because according to him, he had been trying to reach out to me, but my phone was off. To cut the long story short, I came back around 10pm and was knocking and knocking at the gate for like 3 hours and no one came to open. Around 1am or so, I had to scale the fence because I didn't have any friend close by and I didn't want to go back home to my parents because it was very dangerous at that time of the day with robbery incidents and all and also because I was a bit drunk due to "several issues "I was facing at the time.

So back to my story, na so I scale fence o and slept in front of my door because I didn't know that my friend kept the key for me. I thought he mistakenly took it with him. Around 3am or so, that was how I felt a sharp pain on my back . I didn't know my neighbours or landlord had gone to call OPC vigilante and also the police that a thief broke into the compound. Na so them start to molest me o. Honestly, I cried that day, not because of the pain, but because of the denial and embarrassment I got.

I vowed never to give birth in that compound even if I marry because it made me to realise the kind of people I was living with. Imagine coming at 10am and nobody responds at all despite using force and even stones to hit the gate to get attention. See ehn, I DONT CARE neighbours are in abundance. They just only care about themselves and I learnt a very big lesson that day.

Suffice to say the police that came were reasonable and very understanding and never molested me, but the OPC vigilante people used the side of cutlass to be flogging me. I had my revenge on the perpetrators exactly a year after and they also pleaded with me and we settled, but that's a story for another day !

These types of neighbours full Abuja.

You'd live in a compound where you wouldn't know your next door neighbour's name or what he does for a living.

Sometimes it can be as bad as not greeting/ talking to each other and no be say Una dey quarrel oo.

I no know who introduced this Yankee bs here.

DIAMANTE1759:



u for just add the next episode nah

Mumben:
@Deltabachelor, your experience is not a good one at all. Chai, people can be so mean

Mumben:
■ Personally, I can't relate because some years ago in our former compound, I was in labour and my husband was not around, he called our landlord and he drove me in his car to the hospital. May God continue to bless him, he is such a good man Share your experiences with I Don't Care kind of neighbours

Jewessgratitud3:
The compound people have not jam craze .man before. Like my former compound. They'll use stone to bang the gate and no body will hear word in that compound that night. The guy is gentle that's why.

Mumben:
I saw a post on Facebook days back talking about experiences of people living in some neighborhood especially some estates in Abuja and everybody's I don't care attitude towards their neighbor and I thought to bring the topic here for your contributions.

A particular guys experience made me feel bad. He said he escorted his girlfriend who had come to visit him to the bus stop to board a taxi home. On getting to his compound gate, he knocked and knocked but no one came to open the gate even though he could see them through the small opening on the gate. Unfortunately for him, his phone was in his apartment and his girlfriend's family were calling him to inform him that the girl had an accident on her way home.

Las Las, he had to pass the night at a friend's place with only boxers and singlet he was putting on. On getting to his house Early the next morning, he saw a lot of mixed calls from the girls family, he called back and tried to explain but they didn't want to hear. He packed out of the compound one week later as he couldn't come to terms with the fact that his neighbours could be so mean.

Personally, I can't relate because some years ago in our former compound, I was in labour and my husband was not around, he called our landlord and he drove me in his car to the hospital. May God continue to bless him, he is such a good man


Share your experiences with I Don't Care kind of neighbours

iichidodo:
I prefer "i don't care attitude" than the busy body attitude. In some climes, it's the difference between peace of mind or unnecessary stress..

DeltaBachelor:
I swear babe. I can't wait for my rent to be due so that I leave this wicked environment. The energy and vibes is very negative. The funny thing is they all claim to be " christain" and church-goers. I won't belittle any tribe or religion but I stayed a bit in the North and there are things an hausa man wouldn't do. They are their neighbour's keeper. Over here, it is just unhealthy competition and unnecessary rivalry

Kobojunkie:
Nigeria is definitely made for your kind.

ItisWell22:
Very nasty, anyhow attitude.

I’m not asking that people pokenose into each other’s affairs, but your neighbours are most times the family you have around.

Just hello, hi, good morning; is perfect in our “mind your business” world of today.

iichidodo:
■ Weather has been quite hot, suffice to say that I usually sleep naked in my den, then one day, this busy body neighbor just came downstairs and opened my window...Like WTF?!! Why can't some people mind their own f**king business and stay on their lane. You see why I hate busy bodies?

Kobojunkie:
What you described is not Busy body attitude at all but a literal home invasion/trespassing. Why would any person go to and open another person's window if not to trespass, and that is against the law.

iichidodo:
In Nigeria, it ain't. It's just plain ol' busy body.

jaszplus12:

Pointing to where I had in mind... while in Nigeria I tasted all major tribes and I know which ones have the characters you mentioned!
