I'm looking forward to a Nigeria where "Gossiping" will be made illegal and punishable by death.
I seriously don't understand why Nigerians can't mind their businesses.
They'll even go as far as fabricating stories and exaggerating to make their road side side gossip more interesting.
What confuses me most is why someone you know,someone you're close to would approach someone else and tell them you did something or said something you actually never did or said.
If it's an enemy or someone you ain't close to,it would've made a little sense but someone you're close to and didnt quarrel with for whatever reason.In fact,someone who still greets,smiles and talks to you like he/she loves you(because they assume you're oblivious of what they said you said or did).
What could be on the minds of such people?
What propels such behavior?
Is this an illness?
What do they wish to gain?
Can someone explain this to me?
I'm rarely confused but with this,I am confused .

Backbiting and slander is not necessarily gossip
