Una no get landlord ?

Try confront Dem first,but if they insist and refuse to change,then you can report them to the landlord or the caretaker.

But then again,if it continues,bro,move out.

No go spend money rent house finish,make peace of mind later turn out to be like a scarce commodity to you.

Give Alabi Pasuma this English word.
In 1992 he record d song (Talongbemu... Emo pe Ike nimu.... Tibaraba ....)
Later bayowa artistes like Baba.suwe, jide babs etc started using d slang in movies
In 1998 Mr Latin also produced d movie Tolongbemu baba waidi.

Werey la fi n wo werey. If a neighbour is noisy and after letting them know but no changes, go on a higher level of noise make them also feel am. People don't like when you correct things gently. You have to follow up with madness.

And if it's nosey neighbours, just ignore them mind your business and don't let them know anything about you. Set strict boundaries

I sabi handle them. I simply treat you as if you don't exist.
When I'm inside and they knock, I don't bother to answer. Them go knock their hand peel. undecided
I had to block my caretaker at a point because his calls were getting too much. When no be say I dey owe rent undecided I like to keep it simple. Good morning is enough.
How can you call me to ask if I've pumped water? Or to remind me it's my turn? As if I don't know.
Meanwhile, both of us na tenants. Oga dey your dey mbok!
This ur caretaker wants something else but I can't prove it.

Nosey not noisy. It is equally important to take you time to read to understand first before commenting

Op be specific. Do you mean noisy neighbors or nosey neighbors, cus they are both different.
Noisy neighbors, those who either use music and noise from them and their kids to disturb you.
Nosey neighbors, those who always wants to put mouth in your matter or gossip about you often. Aproko like my Delta people call it
Re: How Do You Handle Nosey Neighbours? by Lukuluku69(m): 8:51pm On Feb 09
Monosyllabic answers.

And have that attitude that you don't like talking too much.

Sometimes, just smile, give no answer/s and just move on.

Back then in my school days.. There was the guy close to my room. Mid night he will be playing loud music and signing along. Disturbing me when I needed rest more..


I didn't even say a word to him.. I went to get two big speakers . The two were facing his room. When I am at home and noticed he is sleeping,I start playing loud music.. Even when I am leaving the hux,I leave the music on. And the kind of songs I play are the ones that will get someone angry. Those native , traditional songs..

The idiot come beg me after some days.. grin
The op said nosey not noisy

Re: How Do You Handle Nosey Neighbours? by ZUBY77(m): 8:55pm On Feb 09
The question should be "How does nosey neighbours handle you"

You are the one who pretend not to care while they care in one way or the other.
They are clearly handling you the way they want

Nosey neighbors are good for fast rumor / information dissemination. So leave them alone.
