My neighbour's generator just woke up my entire street at 5am

Tuesday morning 5am sharp, I hear this sound like a plane is landing inside my compound. I check my phone, 5:02am. My neighbour Mr. Bello has decided this is the perfect time to test his new Tiger generator. The thing is roaring like it wants to announce to all of Lagos that he finally bought something.

I am lying there thinking, bros, in this economy, you are burning fuel at 5am? For what? The NEPA hasn't even taken light yet. The man is just flexing. I hear another neighbour shout from somewhere, 'Bello, abeg make we sleep small!' Silence for two minutes. Then the generator starts again even louder. I swear the man must have removed the muffler.

Now I am awake at 5:15am, thinking about my life choices. Why did I choose to live in a place where generator noise is the new alarm clock? I am genuinely considering moving to a village where the loudest thing is a rooster. At least roosters know when morning is supposed to start.
