The Real Reason Your Neighbor's Generator Is Louder Than Yours

My neighbor just bought a new generator. Same brand, same size, same everything. But his own dey roar like lion while my own dey cough like sick goat. I don begin wonder, na the generator or na the owner?

I come find out say the man dey ground the thing with a wire wey he connect to his iron rod. Meanwhile my own I just dey put am for cement floor. See ehn, in Lagos, generator no be just machine, na status symbol. The noise level na the announcement. If your generator no dey shake the whole street, people go think say you dey manage.

But the real gist be say the man don spend extra money on soundproof box. So now the generator dey quiet but he dey complain say nobody know say he get generator again. Na wa oh. In this country, we suffer and smile, but we no fit suffer and dey quiet. Abeg, if your generator dey too quiet, just know say you don lose the Lagos respect.
