Except you live in a plush area where you are surrounded by acres of land, artificial lake, a mini gulf course, a playground and a garden like those of the American old monies, then there is no way you will not have neighbors to interact with if you are an average Nigerian.

Most Nigerians live in congested neighborhoods. Using Lagos as an example, the population of people in areas like Agege, Oshodi, Mushin, Bariga, Iyana-Opaja, Ojota, Palm-Groove, Ogba and others is much higher than those living in plush areas like Ikoyi, Lekki and Victoria Island, etc; these are places assumed to be for the rich and super rich.

We will be concentrating on the places inhabited by the middle class, areas where most people live. Because of the congested nature of these places, there are always the needs to have neighbors to interact with.

We give you the different types of neighbors you will likely interact with if you are living in this area.

The Lazy and Dirty Neighbors:

We all have that neighbor that will not clean his or her corridor for days or dispose his or her waste bin, causing them to be littered everywhere in the compound. If you are unfortunate to be sharing same bathroom and toilet with them, they always will not take part in cleaning them. They soak their clothes for days and this causes irritating odor. These ones are not only dirty, they are also lazy. They see everything as huge task.

The Noisy Neighbors:

These ones are the most inconsiderate. They will put the volume of their TV or Radio to the highest to the discomfort of other.

There are some that may not have all these gadgets but they are noisy still, they are always shouting at the top of their voice. Even when they are having a conversation on the phone, everybody in the neighborhood gets to know what they are talking about. They cannot do anything without shouting, it is like their default.



The Proud Neighbors:
The proud neighbors are like peacock. They carry themselves about with high shoulder, but most times they don’t have anything. They always brag about their past glory or inheritance that used to belong to their fore-fathers.

They see everyone as nothing and they are ever ready to tell you “Do you know who I am?” if you disagree with them on any issue.



The Snobbish Neighbor
These types of neighbors do not greet and if you try to greet them, they answer either sparingly or not at all. They always keep to themselves and do not interact with others. They always feel they are more sophisticated than the people around them thus, they see everyone as below their class.



The Borrow-Borrow Neighbors
OMG! These ones can borrow anything, just anything- salt, pepper, pot, money, seasoning, plate, iron, even clothes. They practically rely on others for survival. They borrow from one room to another, always giving excuses for not always having. They will rather not buy those things they always borrowed with their money but will wait till you get them.



The Flirty Neighbors
Either man or woman, married or single, flirty neighbors toss from one room to another. There are four types:

a) Flirty Neighbor Married Man: His eyes are always on other women in the street. He wants to get down with every one of them, single or married. He throws advances and he makes moves. His wife is always the serious church-going one. So unfortunate!

b) Flirty Neighbor Bachelor: His room or apartment is the melting point for different kind of ladies, lepa or orobo. Different day for different babe. He is a certified playboy. He has some babes within the neighborhood he calls on always whenever he feels like… You know!

c) Flirty Neighbor Spinster: She has been sampled by almost every flirty men, married or not. It’s like her “something” is always itching her that she just needs to scratch it. She is the neighborhood’s LovePeddler, Ashawo in local parlance.

d) Flirty Neighbor Married Woman: She does not care what people say, but she does it shamelessly. She hooks up with big men or politicians in the neighborhood. Her husbands is always silenced because she runs the rules financially in the house
