Pls cut her off. Some people like freebies too much. It's even morally wrong to cheat others which is what she's doing and thinking you guys don't know about her scam.
Do not hesitate to cut her off.
Set the boundaries. It doesn't make you a bad neighbor but rather a responsible one. If she wants to tap light from you guys, let her ask nicely and also be ready to fuel the gen once in a while !

She will not die, she will only learn not to cheat people and form smart
she will also learn gratitude to God and man
or she will learn to work and get things she thinks she needs...

I tell the tea-boy, cleaner, office boy thank you with a smile, they are paid for those services talk more of someone that gave me comfort at no cost

Stop comparing the air we breathe to some someone having self-sufficient attitude.....

Please cut her off. I see no reason why you should have kept quiet over the illegal connection in the first place. From her attitude, it shows she doesn't want it and is not in dire need of your generating set, else she would have come closer to you even just by greeting. She may not have the money to share in the filling of the fuel, but that is not to say she shouldn't put on some positive outlook. Cut her off. If she wants it desperately, she'd ask. It is only normal that you do so.

I have a good neighbour who shares in mine but refused to connect our apartments together. He did my connection for my free of charge and I enjoy sharing the power with him without asking him to contribute in filling the tank. Why? He has played a vital role and I respect him for that. Although yours is a lady, she doesn't realize that what she is enjoying is as a result of a quiet fellow. Again, I say disconnect her wire from your generator.

OP if I were you, I will cuuuutttttt her off without batting an eyelid and believe me, I'm the nicest person on planet earth, but being nice doesn't equal stupidity and as far as I'm concerned, it's gross foolishness to allow an ingrate continous favour.

You see? shouldn't common sense tell one to be appreciative of favours received? Is it the lady's right to use OP's light? She can't even contribute and she's giving attitude, yet you don't see anything wrong in that, smh.

Thanks for listening to words of advice...The disconnection won't add or reduce u, punishing her won't make u rich/poor, it will make u bitter, especially if she neglects ur game..

Doing something good to people and expecting reward or appreciation is not good at all...Those evil people above, who gave u that advice want to see u miserable..

You are funny o.grin

Anyways, whether she greets you or not shouldn't be that big a deal as no one actually has the monopoly of greeting, you can greet her first too, You know? But as a human being, I completely understand your angle, it's annoying when people behave the way the lady described does.

It's good you disconnected her, now just mind your business and forget about how many guys she brings into her house, as that shouldn't be your concern, cheers. wink

What is your problem. Do you know the lady? . What was she doing before they brought thier generator?.

If she is in dire need of gen use, she can come to the OP and ask him nicely. If you do not have, you have to be humble.

I do not know why Nigerians always expect people to 'help' them. This is a woman he does not know from Adam. He has no obligation to her.

Funny enough I have a similar case but I let it slide. She's friendly and greets but doesn't contribute zilch to the gen. I'm not much a fan of who greets me or not though I recognize she's taking the favor for granted. She'll leave the apartment soon so no need thinking too much.

-he can disconnect his generator anytime, any day but giving such reasons before disconnection has no justification.....

-The op has not told us the relationship of the nebo to his mother, the problem is between him and the woman who is like 4-5 years older than him...


-It's possible the woman is not even bothered by the generator light, so why will she contribute kobo for it....She never ask them to connect her in the first place..


-He claimed she closes herself in her room every time the generator is on, he assumed she goes inside to enjoy his light..She may be running away from the noisy generator and also from the fume comming from the old gen..

-His generator may be offensive to her, she may just be keeping quiet and tolerating it for peace to avail.

Well I'm sure if she had a great relationship with his mum, he would have noticed. It is only human for him to be a bit miffed if she shows no appreciation. In life anything you do not appreciate will be taken from you.

Actually what you said about maybe the fumes and noise of the gen maybe disturbing her. Maybe that is what you should have said to the OP instead of insults. He may not have cut her off if that was the case

fem29 pls don't mind that guy.. He's actually sufferin from schizophrenia..just glad that people like u understood my annoyance. As for the ungrateful lady, she has a sound relationship with my mum. They greet and discuss issues with eachother well ..and maybe she wants to take that as an advantage which is non of my business though. My problem is she doesn't act like she's benefittin anything from us. How can a sensible person that shares free light from my Gen sees as am sufferin to repair my Gen.. Will just ignore and pass without even carin to know what the problem might be. I no want her fuel..but for da fact say she dey take us as mumu dey vex me die.. When she sees me she go just do like say she no even sabi me.. Tell me how that kind tin no for vex u sad
