I try as much as I can to avoid everyone in the compound, make everybody hold him side.

As long as you exchange greetings when you come across them.

I live alone with my wife and kids in my compound and sometimes it gets boring especially when my kids has gone to school and wifey go to the market.
Often wish to have tenants but I after reading and listening to what some landlords goes through in the hands of their tenants I just died the idea of having one.

It pays to stay alone and mind your business but there are times you will need people especially in times of health emergencies.
congrats landlord, just pray for normal humans and give them one flat, it is necessary. I also enjoy alone time a lot but I'm in good and talking with all my 12 flat neighbours.

Unnecessary association with neighbours no mean say make dem no forsake you when you need them. It's best you say hi and give everyone their long rope.

Yes you're right. That's my formula.

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.

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.

It's just three apartments in the compound.

Getting a prepaid meter na by serious connection o. So far, no issues with light bills.



Three apartments only na him you dey shout.....abeg make friendly interactions with the single ones there n live your life to the fullest!

When I read some comments here I laugh
Let me tell you it is good to avoid people in the compound where you stay but very risky at same time.

I was 8 months pregnant when I came out by 2.am with my husband to rescue a dying neighbour

Mind you this neighbour his wife and children don't greet anybody in the compound , they fight everyone mostly cos of wire to dry clothes and well they don't let tennants fetch water.

For this reason nobody goes close to them and everyone in the compound is minding their business.

But when mid night sickness set for that man , his wife and children were in their flat crying close neighbours were hearing them but nobody went close to know what was going on


When the woman could not bear it she sent her children to come knock my door by 2a:m

That was how my husband and myself entered their flat and saw the condition of this man

Nobody in the compound came out some were even gisting in their flats.

The funny part is all of them in the compound are from same region even they speak same language

Am the only one from the north.

No be to mind your business be the problem ooo but when emergency comes at night who will come through for you?

People should be careful and learn to coexist

You can get a card checker or reader to monitor individual usage instead of a prepaid meter. Each flat must have one. You can remove it when moving out of the apartment.I use it . Great peace of mind! Ask PHCN official or any good electrical shop sell it

omor it is not too difficult to get one. The one of near completion will even sweet you . Just ask around okoko or ajegunle.

The wahala you are want to taste will start from the agent/omonile that will take you to the compound

Same with me, the flat I came in to had one prepaid meter with debt on it, I needed a prepaid meter but they said they will split the debt and put it on the new meter, So I am using the card reader now, and I haVe peace of mind.
