When there's need to contribute to get something fix in the compound, they're not interested and will never take part, yet when others makes it work, there are the first person to enjoy it.

How do you deal with difficult neighbors, who don't like unity, friendship, corporation in anything for the betterment of everyone?

They r the evil people among you which never wants anything good for others, I've them too but it's just the best idea to avoid people like such cos they want nothing good for the society but want a benefits in what they didn't invested

Sometimes, ignoring them is just very difficult.
Take for example, in a compound where everyone rotate their Gen in pumping the general water, then this particular person constantly refuses to take part, but once someone else proceed, his family uses the water as it's running in their house as well.
He don't take part in fueling or anything positive. It's very difficult to ignore

I was in a compound where we normally pay for electricity bills at months end..

Mysef and one other dude always turn up, the remainin 6 mofos wont.

Then boom I woke up the psycho instinct in me.. I told the other dude, to solve problem, we'll need to all suffer and i need his cooperation.

He did cooperate, first 3days no light, the other usual uncooperative mofos were surprised. And dey start panicking and decides to go round to collect payment. I told the cooperating guy not to pay. He's a cool guy and avoids drama just like me, but dis time i became d CEO of drama. I told them i aint paying that I'm beginning to love d darkness. They knew they had fumbled and it took them like 2 weeks 2 pay nepa for reconnection coz dey even had issues amongst demsefs.

Till i left that place 8months later. I no drop shishi for light and i heard one sayin, we don f*ck up oo. Na we start dis tin. Now dis boi don start, abeg make nobody complain.

It's an easy issue na. They behave so cos u n ur paddy show too much concern. To suffer dem, u must be ready to suffer ursef. Ur own is even good, mine is light, nighas won't pay, but will put on steady gen. Only one day money for fuel is more dan d light bill.

SOLUTION
Just arrange ursef, buy like 2drums for bathing and washing, den buy a smaller one for cooking. Den wen pumping water, u fetch as soon as water starts running. Quickly put off ur gen wen u are don. Make everybody dey look uche face.

Doz with families will b d 1st to feel d heat. Manage ur water like mad. Den wen dey start pumping, u lock up too, u keep telling dem no cash.

No gentle man again oo.

I get how frustrating it can be to deal with neighbors who aren't interested in working together. I had a similar situation where some people in my area would just enjoy the benefits without pitching in. What worked for me was trying to chat with them casually about our ideas for improvements, like organizing a neighborhood clean-up or BBQ to build a sense of community. Even if they didn’t join in, just keeping a friendly tone helped ease some tension. In the end, I focused on what I could do in my own yard and tried to set a good example.

It can be really frustrating; I have similar challenge at home, but this one is about cleanup of environment and occasional clearing of the drainage. But this MOFO neighbor with grown children are too dirty and does not participate in the exercise. The problem is the close proximity of the gutter to my windows, the dirty water they discharge will pass along the length of my backyard before finally draining into the main gutter outside he compund and we are just three people in the compound but the one upstaires does not usually wash or discharge their water downstaires.
I have complained and even reported them to the landlord but HELL NO they aint playing along, the thing tire me and I don't know what else to do. If I don't open the occasional blockade water will not flow and can atract moquitoes and smells too.

Some folks even suggested I fvck the daughter or wife as a payback... funny

If you call for meeting, everyone will be forming busy. We even have a WhatsApp group, but the two very people making it difficult for everyone, will never respond even when you're seeing them online. They keep acting like small small devil.

😂😂😂😂 This suggestions will not end well o

That's Toxic neighbors for you we have them everywhere. The once I have in my former compound then show me shege then i return shege banza to them everybody knows how to do good and wicked all depends the one you serve me first then I return it.

Na so oo bro, everybody must learn oo, if it doesn't kill dem, it won't kill u. But inform dat ur paddy dat pays as well, so both of u can be on same page, n b pumping water only wen both of u are available to fetch. And when dey start pumping, u simply tell dem u already bought drums n no cash. Now u will see d decision dey will take wen u don't pay, dat is reverse psychology. U don give dem d problem now, na dem go help u find d solution. Cos dey must come to a solution.

But this mostly happen when d married neighbors feel u r a bachelor and Hass money. Especially for d yahoo guys, dey don't wanna just involve in anything anymore.

There was one telling my bachelor next door neighbor dat he doesn't av a wife or kids, so y is he complaining too. U can see how petty some people we call neighbors are. She doesn't know d guy is married with kids back in his state ooo....Watin we nor go see for Lag

ITS A LONG STORY

Dis guys always refuse 2 pay NEPA BILL, because we were not using prepaid meter in d compound back den.. so d 2 flats were using 1 NEPA wire..
Complained 2 d land lord.. No positive solution

HOW I GOT MY PROBLEMS SOLVED
I Later got a SOLAR INVERTER. (With 2 big star plus batteries)
Den I made sure I connected EXTRA BULBS OUTSIDE MY FLAT so anytime I turn my inverter on, dey will be able 2 see from their flat dat I have 24hours light
After I connected my inverter, 4 days later NEPA came and cut d light.
Dey were thinking I will pay as usual, but dey were shocked I didn't pay anymore
I got back from work and turned on my solar, switched on all d outdoor lights.. so dat dey can be seeing from their flat widow dat I had 24hours light and dey were d only ones in TOTAL DARKNESS

Long story cut short... After 2 weeks wen heat almost finished them, dey came 2 meet me dat we should pls contribute money and pay d NEPA bill..
I just smiled

Wetin you wan understand again?

If nau me, I will even remove myself from NEPA

Any compound that is more than 3 tenants I avoid it...

My present compound we are just 3 tenants, we have our separate meters, separate water tanks, when pumping machine get spoilt, the landlady takes care of it...

I live upstairs only me occupied the space, anything wey dey happen for down I no dey hear, I mind my business...

That's great. Here, it's only pumping of water that join the 6 of us because we have just one water tank.
Honestly, compound with too many tenants is a turn off for me now.

I and my wife grew up in our seperate family house, so we were not used to living in a rented house, until we saw each other and got married..

So anytime I'm looking for house, I always avoid a crowded compound and make sure we have a separate water tank...

Our pre paid meter have been done in such a way that, you only use your person light to pump your tank, but you can only do that once, that means you will have to wait for mr. A to finish pumping be fore Mr. B also pump.. So far so good no issue, because we don't even pump water all the time
