Please Share Thoughts On This Issue If I Overreacted. by rbass144: 2:58am On Feb 10, 2023
Hi guys,

So Im currently in the uk for a 1 year course, 3months after my stay here, had important things
to do in Nigeria so I came back, plus I had to move myself and my fiance to a new apartment from where
we currenly were staying at. A day b4 i travelled back to the uk, we both moved in, infact we were the only and first tenants to sleep
at the place so I was able to familiarize a bit with the security guy and the care-taker.

To cut long story short, my fiance is an info giver, she na my gist mate, briefs me on anything and all that. She's been mentioning about our neighbour downstairs A FEW TIMES,who I didnt meet prior my departure sey the guy dey greet am well, wan help her re-pack her car one day and so on and so forth. So it happened that this morning, this dude has gone upstairs to knock on our door, she didnt know who was there cos she wasnt expecting anyone,so she didnt go to the door to even check not to talk of opening. So this dude has gone to the security guy to ask for my fiancé number, which that arindin easily gave to him, so he called and she didnt pick cos she didnt know the number, next the guy sent a msg saying my name is bla bla, uur neighbour downstairs, i had come to knock but no answer, just wanted u to know
that I am arranging a tenant meeting on sunday between 6 and 8, you can call back for mor info. She was the one that woke me up from here saying I should check my whatsapp cos she had screenshot d text d guy sent. Though she was already complaining that why would the security guy give the dude her number and that she's also wondering why the guy is even calling a tenant meeting.

I told my fiance that I will call the security guy first to query him as to why he did that. So i called security guy, he said it was when the d went upstairs to knock and no answer na him make him come ask fro madam number, I told him its wrong, next time use ur own phone call madam, and give him the phone to talk, or ask madam if you can give him her number. He apologized, so I asked him what the meeting was all about if he had an idea, so he claimed all the generator for the tenants is situated directly at the back of the guys flat is what he came to complain about that he cant sleep, so he wants to call a meeting. In my head I was like, no be
tenant build generator house for him back, this kinda issue is meant to be handled and communicated directly with the care taker or the landlord. I called madam back and told her the reason for the meeting, she shared same thought as myself that calling for tenant meeting isnt what the solution or the preferred step should be. So I decided to call the dude myself. I called and introduced myself, while introducing myself, he was like is this (fiance's name) i was like no, this is her fiancé, the guy replied, oh yea
FANTASTIC FANTASTIC, said that twice, I laugh inside, then I was like my wife said u had come to our door to knock but she couldn't hear the knock, but then you proceeded to get her number from the security post, that the meeting hes trying to arrange regarding the generator noise would properly be handled if he refers the issue to the care taker of landlord, omo this guy never allow me finish, just begin dey blow grammar interrupt me, begin dey raise voice,lol...now i was like bro calm down and chill, I called u, and i havent even finished and ur raising your voice and not allowing me to pass my message across. Na so he blow grammer go oo sey him nor like my tone, sey why i dey call am dey tell am sey make him go complain to care taker bla bla bla, shey sey na crime to go knock for neighbour door
bla bla bla. B4 he finish since i see sey he nor want peace, I just tell am sey oga dont let me hear u come knocking at my door the next time. Na so he hang up on me. As my wife call me back to ask wetin we yarn, i gist am and she got furious sey which kind nonsense be that, sey she go call the dude and confront him, I just tell her sey make she bone, sey make she nor attend the meeting, and act like nothing happened. In which she still called me like 5 hours later sey she go dispose thrash outside, sey him hear the guy dey gist another tenant the matter, sey na so the guy dey sweat, dey para with voice sey she come dey wonder sey nor be matter wey don end for morning this one still carry go dey gist new tenant, sey the confusing part be sey, both of them never familiarize cos she heard when the dude was asking the other guy of his name. Abeg people did I do anything wrong? And seriously everything I said here is nothing but the truth.

Yes the caretaker or home owner needs to be in the know....
But because it will likely cost each tenant some money to reposition everyone's generator to another location in the compound....its not a bad idea the guy called a meeting to give everyone heads up about the matter...

u just dey over react over small matter... ur madam is not a child .......

. if na me.. i go don use vawulence pour salt inside everybody generator ... grin

I can imagine his frustration... when one paid for an apartment but can't sleep or have the God given rest because of the constant noise of a generator... You get home to relax your head from a challenging day at work... Only to be greeted with the noise... again if it's the smokey type, double wahala in terms of pollution.. windows permanently closed.... E reach to even call governors and presidential meeting self... cheesy

Hope u won't be angry if I said that probably you may have spoken in a condescending manner as per UK resident trying to protect a spouse and he showcased Nigerian national madness on you... let it slide... Highest thing, tell her not to attend the meeting.....no big deal...

Dude you talk too much and you are very petty plus obviously insecure.

Grow up, be a man , focus on things a man should focus on. Leave policing your woman cause eventually your neighbour will fūck her for sure cause you seem like an emasculated feminine man

I understand your fear grin

There's nothing wrong when your neighbor has your wife's number especially in this Nigeria today that anything can blow anytime.


Unless you no trust your girlfriend.



Meanwhile nobody can leave comfortably with such sound from his backyard.

The neighbour has no right to call other tenants for a meeting except there is no lawyer or security in the house.
All he would have done was to complain to the owner of the house through the lawyer or Security and the landlord is the one that have the right to order for those generators to be relocated to another place.
Except the house is "face me I face you".

Your wife na sho,_sho_sho kind of people. She will land you in trouble someday.

Why making a mountain out of a mole hill.

Be a man and stop dragging unnecessary matters.

As a tenant you are like this, what's gonna happen when u become a land lord.

From your narration,one can deduce that the guy doesn't have d right to call a meeting but u can as the chief tenant.

Be feeling superior.

Daddycoool, u no serious o, na wetin him type u summarize for coronavirusguy so. grin

Yes, you over reacted. Both of you like 'drama' sha.
A simple conversation with the security guard would have been sufficient.
No need to involve the other dude.
You both sound like a 'gossipy pair'.

To cut long story short, my fiance is an info giver, she na my gist mate, briefs me on anything and all that.

What a woman! You sure deserve each other.

In my opinion you over reacted, he felt he could discuss with his fellow neighbors without calling the attention of the care taker, and you sound insecure what's the big deal in calling your wife directly ? He had a purpose ; to hold a meeting it wasn't for a flimsy reason.

But if it was your so called wife that needed help, I'm sure she would happily get the guy's number and knock at his door at ungodly hour and you wouldn't see anything wrong with that.

The worse he could have done would be to ask her out and she'll tell him no. I don't think there's a crime in that. He haven't even done that sef.

Do you know how funny it is that I wanted to talk to my neighbor and the next is I'm getting a call from her fiancé that I have never met, I would have shouted fantastic 10x because wtf is that? You even challenged him on the phone?

If we find out, your girl fit no reach girls wey him dey date.

Op is very insecure and I can assure you Op that that girl has someone she is frolicking with while you're away in the UK.

All these unwarranted reporting of little issue is to deflect your attention from her cheating ways and even make you trust her.

And I'm sure you didn't sound polite or cool while speaking with the dude, hence his reaction. In the UK where you are I'm sure there's serious regulation against noise pollution. But how you forget that easily and call someone in Nigeria to insinuate that the person should keep suffering from noise pollution in silence beats my imagination.

Again, you called out of jealousy. Him don help your lousy fiancee park car.. . Next thing na to collect her number and schedule when he can come mark her register... Same register one or several other dudes are already marking steadily while you're in the UK.

I pity you bro.

Haba! Come on guys, the bashing is not necessary, me wen cme here know sey it aint like nobody is perfect, sometimes issues arise and u def would know that you may have done something wrong or not. The reason why I said my post is the truth and nothing but the truth is that I know fullyw ell that some people will start saying am insecure or I called the dude out of jealousy. Abeg whats the jealousy about? we dey drag babe together? No! Besides there isnt anything insecurity about this. Please I need someone to explain what's insecurity about being protective about whom I love. This is d reason behind it, the place is just weeks old moving in, she has not really familiarize with anybody that much at the property, how would any1 come and knock at your door when you aren't expecting any1, lets agree she heard the guys voice from the other end of the door, and she opened and the dude forced himself in and whatever happens? If that was the case and I came here to post about how a new neighbour that my fiance opened door for forced his way into and raped or attacked her, wont you guys say otherwise that why would she open her door to a total stranger or better still talk to him without opening the door etc, I know what people on here can say. You cant trust people you dont know well to give easy access to entertaining conversation from the door. I blv it takes time b4 one can get to know neighbor b4 u can have the confidence in opening the door for them. Thats me being protective judging from the fact that am not around.

My major reason why i prompted the phrase " did i overreact was based on my statement that he should never come to my door anymore, na something else i dey hear. Make una calm i know sey fuel and cash scarce,.

Op I think you definitely over reacted…



The man has a genuine concern about the generators being located at his window.


If you feel the landlord or caretaker should be the one to handle the issue. Then you/fiancé could have raised that in the meeting.

The way you handled the situation is a bit petty. And you are just being overly protective of your madam!
