RE: Sam’s Hangout #111 - “INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES AND TOLERANCE”

😂 I've experienced this issue quite a lot of times with my previous neighbors.
A simple mistake, and the trumpet is already sounding.
You will even be surprised that the shopkeepers around have already heard that an argument happened at your house and that you're the one who's pictured as the devil.

Imagine an old woman ganging up with her daughters to beat my big sister, and my brother had to push them off her one by one out of anger. Well, our matter had passed mouth quarrel because the old lady just never knew when to stop.
Imagine the next day, police at our doorstep — why? To arrest my big bro.
Wait o, was she already scheming one big lie to frame my brother for a crime he did not commit? Or so we thought.

When my dad got back, we just went to the station and wrote our own report. All she could say was my bro pushed her and it was disrespectful, and the policeman was like, "You were beating an almost 18-year-old girl and you still came to report?" She had to bail herself that night 😂.

But the old lady still never learned — not until the whole neighborhood knew her true colors.
She could no longer stay around, so she left for Lekki, and we were happy we now had one less nuisance. The other lady was all that was left, but my mum was already a strategist at tackling her, and it wasn't like the previous person. This one liked bossing people around but always ran away when the landlady came around to collect rent. We don't even usually know how she always disappeared from the fenced compound 😂.

What even hurt was that after the landlady's death, the landlady's children — who were abroad before and came back — chose to trust her more than us and had her monitoring us. Like, what the fuck.
My dad just had to borrow a loan (or "take a loan") and build our own house and roof it, make two bedrooms good enough to stay, and we packed out.
They had also told us to pack out because they wanted to renovate the house, but this same stuff has happened before and the house didn't get renovated because it was a family house and the family members fought like it was heaven then until the candle went off.
We didn't want to experience the same again.
