Just mind ur business. Don't be familiar or close to anybody. Like myself, I packed into a new yard last year up till now nobody knows my name, my state or the kind of job I do.

They only know am around when they hear my sound and I play mainly foreign hardcores. I don't want much ppl to understand and sing the songs am playing. Like now am playing chronic2000 by dr dre with my lg xboom sound system. Thank God the landlord doesn't stay here. I don't even know him. I only know the barrister but he's not living here. Make sure u pay ur bills on time to avoid one using it to talk to u any how.

Bro jeje face front, but on a very good day, make you still align with people wey dey around you, nothing else because one day you might need their help for something important.

Most times I don't even set eyes on my landlady or neighbours for a week, but that doesn't stop me from saying hello when I see them outside. I haven't entered any neigbour's flat before and none has entered mine, I prefer it that way.


I am a very private kinda person, same with my wife but we balance the equation.....We ain't got friends or enemies in the compound. You can't tell when you would need someone's help, none would respond if you ain't in good terms with them.

RoyalBlu:
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'

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

That’s your opinion, some people got helped due to see finish.

You don't know who your neighbour know....never underrate anyone

MyVILLAGEpeople:
I can guess the kind of apartment you live in

guess lemme see if your smart?

yemmit90:
No one ever live in isolation, you may not be their friend but at least be in good term with them by just greeting. Trust me, you may unknowingly need their helps someday.

okay that’s for you.. for me I have my life planned out.. I don’t don’t need to make friends cause i will need their help. Moreover I no rate any of my neighbors. And all of them also live private lives like me. We all kind our business. We don’t even chat in the group chat for the compound it’s just our landlord that post any messages all we do is pay our service charges

The day rain will beat your clothe outside, nobody go send you o. Hope you get the message.

that one is a normal thing.. rain beats everyone cloths.. unless you have someone in your apartment to help you out..

not greeting your neighbors doesn’t make them your enemy either. After all you don’t know them from Adam so you owe them no greetings. But if they greet you answer.

The worst thing Is for many ppl to be using prepaid meter...wetin dey cause problem no who go collect the pumping machine.

I must not know someone from Adam before I greet him/her, I wasn't raised like that.

A simple "good morning" won't debit my account.

Seem you don't get my point, I didn't say you should be their friend, I was only saying greetings one another in the compound is not bad for neighbours. The more you become older with some experiences, the more you realise that some of this principles we forced on ourselves are not really necessary

Socratiz:
It is not advisable to completely avoid relating with people, especially neighbours because you may need them one day.

The vagaries of life can befall you that you may need their assistance.

However, you need to establish healthy boundaries to ensure that you're not taken for granted and the relationship is not abused.

I believe you should be able to share a casual greeting of good morning/evening.

Even with being the nicest, most polite person, people can still hate you and abandon you in your time of need.

No matter what you ought to relate with neighbors.

I relate better with Mother and Father figures.

like I said that’s your opinion and if it works for you fine. My lifestyle works for me too if you don’t greet me I don’t greet you.. we can live for 5 years in a compound you wouldn’t even know my name. It has worked for me and it will continue working. I remember two neighbors in my compound that do like Bestie one night I came back around 11pm see fight. Wife on wife, husband on husband. I passed them and entered my flat. Like I didn’t even see them.. avoiding human can be a source of peace of mind.

Sapasenator:

I am not forcing my opinion on you but Mark this post today, if you don't change your way, experience may teach you a bitter lesson someday.

You takes live too seriously, your neighbors shouldn't be your enemies or people you won't greet. I don't mingle with my neighbours too, they knew absolutely nothing about me and my family but greeting and that short conversation when problem arise at surroundings is not too much to do with people who are the next person to save you before your people arrive.

This kind of attitude shouldn't be allow in the compound. Imagine walking off people fighting as if you don't see them. What if one of them die in the process. If you are the type of person they respect, your "ENOUGH" OR "IS OK" can practical end their fight and stop the aggression. What if you are the one in such danger and they ignore you until they kill you inside your apartment?

Let die this matter abeg.

bro when I was in desperate need of people in my life I didn’t see anybody and I scaled through I learnt to live this life like this out of experience too .. so allow me rest.. I don’t pray to be in a situation I need neighbors or friends. And God that saved me when I thought the world had my back and nobody showed up will not fail me now. Peace.
