This is Nigeria, y'all stop acting like a Nepo babies.
If you want to avoid noise, get rich and build a castle for yourself where human don't exist.

One predegree student rent d room opposite my room at my 300 level in university. It's 24hours music which echoed inside my room. My own tape was like when a tiny dog is barking at a huge lion. Am forced to follow and love d stupid old apala , juju , Fuji music he plays everytime. I couldnt sleep or read. Girls in d whole house flock inside his room always. I look like d enemy of d house.

I don't normally go to school library and I don't read at night.My secret was to read at my convienent time in my room when everywhere was silent and I keep getting my 'A' . When I complained he just smiled. He was huge than me and I don't want to embarrass myself.
By second year, I discovered that I don't use to hear music again at 10pm cos I had become used to running away from home.

One of d girls just told me d guy failed his predegree and relocate from d area out of shame to another area to start all over again.
I grad with 4.44 cgpa because of this guy.
@Op said "nosey" and not "noisy" ..mr 4.44cgpa undecided

Just get a gụn grin
Re: How Do You Handle Nosey Neighbours? by MemoriesAndMe:
Simple. Just avoid them.

"Hello", "Hi", "Good Morning" etc is enough for them.

Unless you're nosey too. Nobody should need nobody abeg.

Omo am currently a victim of this
I have this neighbors that can fight each other for Africa , they are siblings the kind of noise that comes from that flat dem no born you to sleep when they are awake you must wait for them to sleep before you can sleep.

I complained to the landlord several and he refused to do anything about

Until when his wife gave birth and the constant fight and noise will not let their baby sleep.

That was when he decided to give them quit notice.

Mind you before he took that action I already bought a house cos I got frustrated by the constant noise.

Person go waka for sun go hustle come house he can not sleep so what is the point of paying for rent?

Give the fellow a stern warning. If it continues, report to your landlord. Some neighbours can be very annoying

My Estate is the most nosy place in the country. If you're walking on any street, be rest assured that not less than 500 people (landlords and tenants) are glued to their phones watching your moves. The only privacy you have on the street is to drive in fully tint vehicle.

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.

Now the oyimbo people come out with 'nosey' as not minding your own business.

Africa is indeed the cradle of civilization.

oh. The word nosy didn't exist before 1992. U are a clown
Re: How Do You Handle Nosey Neighbours? by kiddaz: 2:34am On Feb 10
Very simple, I dey give dem more work. One time back in abj i had this landlady's son. Always trying to know the girls that I bring home. We were just cordial and he would greet and make some weird remarks like " bro, is that your girlfriend? Haa I see you and one girl dey enter for night or that girl dey shout oo, I no just sleep again" it was those one room house not passage house but very public. I was still a 9 - 5er then so I only entertain guests after work , late nights, my off days and weekends. When he became too inquisitive I increased the number of girls on rotation and made sure no one had peace at night. That took care of everything.

Anytime I notice a monitoring spirit aka nosey neighborh I try to always give them a lot of work. Just ignore and overwhelm them with things to be nosey about. Na dem dey taya las las and start minding their biz.

Thank you for this. I've always wondered where Mr Latin got that name. I always watch his comedy series and that is the name he uses.

You're talking nonsense.

The English people started using that metaphor back in the 1880's.

Your Pasuma borrowed that expression from English not the other way round.

I understand the nosey neighbors he meant, but most readers are confusing it with noisy hence their comments. That was why I said he should be specific for most people understanding
