The young man identified as Collins Uma on X (formerly Twitter), shares how his attempt to assist neighbors took a negative turn.

According to the man, he installed an external socket [/b]at his residence so that neighbors could charge their phones for free.

However, the gesture did not go as planned. The young man was shocked to discover that one of his neighbors, a fashion designer, had connected her electricity-intensive machines to the socket.

Upon discovering this, he confronted the neighbor, only for her to say she thought he was bypassing his prepaid meter and not paying for the light units.

The young man lamented that despite his genuine intention, his good deed led people to believe he was a criminal.

In his words;

“I created a socket outside for neighbours to charge phone. This neighbour who’s a fashion designer brought her machines and connected to it. On top my prepaid units. She said she thought I bypassed NEPA and wasn’t paying. Be good to Nigerians and they’ll think you’re a criminal.”

Tolu Akin said: “A neighbour once borrowed my then flatmate electric iron and when he returned it, we discovered that the plastic body was burnt. The neighbour had the audacity to tell us he made use of it as a stove iron when he urgently wanted to iron and there was no light.”

Prince Somorin said: “I allowed neighbors to fetch water until one started to fill his Storex tank with it.”

Abolaji Rasaq said: “Someone put a tap outside his new home for neighbors to fetch water. They stopped fetching the water after some time. They said the man is using their destinies.”

Victor Ossai said: “Just look for a 0.5a or 1a circuit breaker and connect it within to the extension. Once there’s a higher load output, it would trip off the circuit flow. That way they will be guided.”

Crystal Abekee added: “A friend created a socket outside for his neighbor. Mind you, he’s using an inverter and sometimes a generator. His neighbors started using an iron and went as far as using a hotplate. Egbon disconnected it with immediate effect. Sometimes, Nigerians aren’t good people.”
