Your neighborhood can't be fun and tough like mine.
My Next-door Neighbor/Neighborhood: Tell us something interesting about your neighborhood whether good, bad or manageable. It could be a neighbour you like/dislike for a behavior or a particular situation of your neighborhood.
Honestly sometimes, neighbors might be manageable, liked or dislike due to how we relate to them and how they responded in turn. First, i want to talk about my next-door neighbor. He was actually a young man by name Udeme. He is such a nice person because he is so respectful irrespective of your age. Apart from that, i noticed something special about him. He is very hardworking and dedicated to in achieving his life's bigs dream's. He takes care of his aged father and his twin brother who is with their aged dad in the village. One day i was forced to ask him why he is so different that he doesn't bring different women just like today's guys and here is his reply.
Neighbor, not that i don't love women or sex, but am being very careful because of my life. Two things can bring a man down. Women and alcohol. Besides, I don't need distractions for now. Am building for now. So having a woman at my side will be a distraction for me. People move around with different kinds of spirits, i might fall a victim of those ones with spirit of destruction and she will ruin my future plans. So when am done building myself and an adventure that will continue to work for me even when am not there, i can look for a better woman to settle down with.
This response made me to see him as a reasonable person and that made me to like him. Not only that, he is so open and transparent. He doesn't hide opportunities to anyone around him. He is also kind a generous. Being a soap producer and an Agriculturist, whenever he produces soap, he gives me some without me asking for it. He has also introduced me into farming though i haven't started mine yet. This young man has a lot of goodies to offer. So, being my neighbor has given me the privilege to gain something from him and i believe he has actually gotten some from me too.
I now want to talk about my neighborhood. Am living in a public house but i don't share my veranda with anyone due to how the house is built. But theirs something common in my neighborhood and it gets me pissed off. Thief's always moves at night. So, if you mistakenly leave any of your valuables outside or have any if your gadgets near your window, just forget about it. The always stole phone's through the windows. Infact i don't know how they do it. My nephew phones has been stolen from his room twice through the windows at night while he was sleeping. Apat from him, others within my neighborhood have experienced that too. After stealing my wheelbarrow and other valuables i left outside, am being very careful with my phone's. I don't keep them close the windows even in the daytime.
Still in my neighborhood, theirs this young man named Utibe, his very lazy man. I dislike him so much because he will always wants to beg you for something and anytime you didn't give him, you turned to his enemy. Fuck him! Anytime little money entered his hands, you will see him with different ladies but, when it finished, he will start begging fo toothpaste, matches, oil, etc. I came to learn that he had three children with three different mothers and non is with him including the children. What an irresponsible man. I so much dislike him because of his irresponsible attitude.

It’s interesting how our experiences with neighbors can be so varied. It sounds like Udeme is an admirable person with strong values and a clear vision for his future. Many people could learn from his wisdom in staying focused and avoiding distractions, especially in today’s world. It’s great that you have a neighbor like him who shares opportunities and encourages growth, like introducing you to farming.
On the other hand, it’s unfortunate that your neighborhood has challenges like theft and dealing with individuals like Utibe, who seem to lack responsibility. It’s a reminder that while we don’t get to choose our neighbors, we can choose how we respond to them. I hope the situation with the thefts improves, and that more positive influences like Udeme continue to uplift the community. Keep staying safe, especially with your valuables!
Oh thanks so much for making out time to go through my post. Really appreciate your comments
You are very welcome!
Hahaha. I laughed at the lazy man, there are lots of him everywhere and hardly would one wants to help such fellow after scrutinising him and knowing where to squanders the little money he has on. Such a pity he has none of his children around him which has depicted who he is.
For Mr Udeme, I love his response, sincerely. Hardly would you find 3 men out of 10 to have same mindset as his. It's true that women and alcohol bring the downfall of a man with ambition but it varies with the kind of woman a man allows in his life.
Exactly my dear. Don't mind the lazy fellow
With the ending part of this story this man is really irresponsible if non of his children is with him
Honestly non is with him. Very irresponsible man
This is a good one, pointing out two neighbours. One is very likeable and the other, I feel like punching him to think about his life lol.
That incident of people losing their phones to thieves through the window is still like a mystery to me, like how? 😂
My dear, honestly I don't really know how they go about stealing from the window ooo. Still sounds strange to me. But I have witnessed it
Hahaha please don't punch him ooo
I wish i had neighbors like yours. Mine cant mingle this way
You have such a friendly neighbor who does things out of his goodness of his heart and I commend him for that, on the other hand it's so disheartening to hear about the thieves that roam about in the night. I would advise your community to put a security in place to avoid all this sudden stolen of items at home. It seems there's a lot of activities going on in your neighborhood and am glad you shared it with us, success and all the best
Individual difference .... Neighbours can really be something else. If you are lucky you get the good once...
Both men had their reason for what they do.
