As long as you're a relative/friend, you're always welcome.
I want to believe that is how most of us were raised.
[The question is even weird, in my opinion]

Now, whether you can stay without prior notice, that is a discussion for another day.

No o, levels dey. My eldest sister and my half-brother, my coconut head brother as well, are welcome any day, my Aunt-in-law too.

Everyone else, please call beforehand.

Certain people, "remind me again, who gave you my address angry "

Come to think of it, I'd probably feel that way with cousin Ogechi, cos she's the way too forward type, and be all up your business. cheesy
Urgh! When are you leaving? 😩

Many people in my life are allowed to visit my home, unannounced.

My default rule is no one but if you catch me in the right mood, on the right day, in a blessed month then I might open the door. I don’t drop in on people and I don’t like my personal space invaded without prior approval.

I'm a lastborn and once a lastborn, always a lastborn (they will talk down to me till I'm 70 or they're dead, whichever comes first undecided). So I like being alone.

Since childhood, my fantasy has been to live in a medium-sized coastal town, far from my family. I can visit but everyone should be far.

The funniest thing is that my aunt-in-law is welcome more than one of my full sisters (case in point: I used to drive past my sister's house in Lekki to go to my aunt-in-law in Ikoyi and her friends used to wonder which of her daughters I was. Even my family used to look at me in awe, my sister would tell her friends and they'd be in disbelief.

My MiL and my mother are strongly advised to call me before coming grin)

I had this discussion with my husband before we went to visit my sis-in-law last summer. I asked him if he had told his sis that we were coming before booking the flight. He said he didn’t need permission. I told him that it’s not about permission as my family doesn’t need permission either and neither do I. When he called his sis, after he had booked the flights, she told him that she had already booked flights too to go and see their junior brother. We went anyway but didn’t get to spend as much time together as we could have given that she was gone for a week and we were alone in her house half of our stay.

Last year my other sister sent her kids to stay with us. It was during the busiest period of the year when I’m working 10-12 hours shifts. Everybody enjoyed themselves but I couldn’t even though I was the one to take care of the food, beds and the rest.

I love having family and friends but I like to be prepared too.

Imagine! All the ish you have to do to accommodate them; 1) put clothes on,2) tidy the kitchen and check the bathroom is presentable (hiding undies etc) 3) start making teas and coffees and even food! Nah, if you’re going to send me to work at least give me 3/5 hours heads up.

Re: Who Is The One Person Allowed To Show Up At Your Place Unannounced? by Samantha125(f): 2:11pm On Sep 28, 2025
My father once caught me twerking for my husband... But according to the old man, he knocked and we couldn't hear him due to the music playing...🤦🤦🤦

I know right.

Lol, funny enough I like hosting people in my house but I like plans to be made first, at least 24-72hrs notice. Loooool.

Except it's urgent.

No wonder you can get away with anything. cheesy

Only lastborns are permitted to act how they please. Hahahaha

Well, he better not because next time he'll see more than just twerking...😂😂😂

Thankfully we live in different provinces and he can't just come over whenever he feels like it.

This is typically gen Z way of reasoning.
Why should you be expecting something from dad always?

If you’re an African this isn’t a question
Your family can show up anytime without announcement

Family



Can't I just just type Family? This question requires a one word answer.


It's getting unbearable tbh
