The one who’s generator is always on. 24 hours a day. 7 days a week.
Even if there’s light they won’t put it off because ‘NEPA will soon take the light’.
The nosy ones who don’t even try to hide the fact that they are being nosy.
Abeg sister that man that came to visit you last night, is that your brother?
The ones that have the NEPA siren that goes off when there is light.

The one who is forever knocking on your door to borrow something.
If it’s not salt it’s broom. And before they return it, wahala.

Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

“Did you know that Mummy Jamiu’s son impregnated someone? “
The ones who will wake you up in the morning with prayers and keep you up at 1am with prayers.
Because if their neighbours can’t hear them praying, God won’t answer their prayers.
As if your prayer warrior neighbour is not enough, there must be a church on your street too.
Sometimes even two or three. As one id finishing their service, the other one is starting.
The ones who will appoint themselves as street or estate chairman.
They’ll also take it upon themselves to start collecting monthly dues.
