I live with my brother and his family in a compound that consists of four flats, three bedrooms apartment each, my family occupies one, the landlord of the compound occupies the top floor from the left, while the good neighbor occupies the one directly under our landlord, now to the other neighbor who occupies the apartment directly ontop of ours who hasn’t even stayed up to a year has been known by everyone, I will tell you about them later in this post but first lets talk about good neighbors, honestly its not that easy to have good neighbors in same space with you, because the last of neighbors we had were bones in our throat, one of them had 8 children and wouldn’t even assist in pumping water, one the sons brought isssues to compound, and actually brought touts to lock up the main gate, while the one, they would literally throw dirts and water from up to down, but well they were all given quit notice, and they moved.
Now when you see good people, please appreciate them, the new neighbor that later came is a very good man, not living is wife out of the picture, a newly married couple, the man is from riverstate while the wife is a benin woman, atleast from the one year that they lived in the compound you could tell their kind of personality, firstly it was my nieces and nephew that made friends with by just greeting them every morning while on their way to work and school respectively, they would dash my nieces money, when they go out to buy stuff they normally buy for the children, one time I did a pratical on my cake at the bakery, I brought back the pratical and gave out to everyone in the compound, they were the only ones that thought to partronize since then, I have baked over five cakes for them on different occasions, but they recently moved because of the altitude and increment of the house rent, before they left the wife brought clothes worth more than 100k and dashed them all to my sister in law’s niece that also lives with us, the children were given so many things, money, flower bouquet that has helped me in decorating a cake, birthday gift and so on, and yes we reciprocate by giving them some of delicious meals, and also birthday gifts to the man.

Now to the other couple, I can’t really say much but that man is really annoying because tell why a full grown man will be beating his wife in the midnight while everyone is sleeping and the whole area is quite, since this couple came moved into the apartment it hasn’t been up to a year, the husband has beaten the wife close to four times in the middle of night, and they usually make sure that everyone has turned off their generator, so you can obviously hear and know where the sound is coming from, the last scene was last week, I woke up to pee and the only thing I could hear was “blessing you are witch, they sent you to destroy my life” thats from the husband and from the wife “crying and shouting, you will beat me o”, and she just gave birth not too long ago, even while she was pregnant the man gave beating so many times, the last fight was so serious, he broke her iPhone 12, the wife was just shouting that her back hurts, and she’s so young because according to her she’s just 24years old with three children, Honestly I kind of feel for her because even if the guy spends money on her, it still doesn’t change the fact that he’s woman beater, he abuses her physically, emotionally and mentally.
