. Well, stuffs like this ain't part of me but the husband being a traveling man, whenever she ' buys market', I stand in for the husband to apologise and I've never told the husband about it. So, me being a gossip, that's not me.

You are an aproko just as @fannybaby hinted but you don't know it yet. I think the problem is, y'all have lots of free time on your hands. Imagine both men and women competing on aproko-ness grin in one compound. The whole idea of this one moves in and is my brother or sister from my state, says it all.
Minding one's business is serious business.

Good morning and sorry to disturb you with this but I had a sleepless night and I thought to share this with someone.....who else if not my good brothers and sisters on Nairaland.

About a year ago I moved in to a new compound and discovered one of my neighbors came from the state as me and we easily bonded and became like brothers, our wives not from the same state as us too became close. A few months later, another lady from the same state as us too moved in and became a part of the relationship.

Things became sour when we started noticing what other neighbors had tried to draw our attention to, being that my said brother's wife is a chronic liar and busy body who creates tension between people with her lies.

My wife and I had a fight when she told my wife I said she was the cause of my parents HBP. What I actually said to her husband while she was in the kitchen was " my wife tells my parents about our fights and I don't like it because they are hypertensive".

Among others, if she gives you #100, she tells people it's #10000, if she eats your food, she goes out and says no maggi or this and that. She calls you a miser while she can't ordinarily do more than you.

She had even matchmaked our sister in the compound with another man, the man later told our sister his colleague had brought him to collect his share of the "kpekus" and to eat her money but he can't go through when he realized she was a good woman with a good heart.

Now this said sister went for her introduction with another man last week Saturday without telling them because of his wife and her mouth. He called me as a man and complained to me how he felt bad when he saw others congratulating her while he knew nothing about it.

This man is a good man, very good but his wife is the problem. I don't want to tell him he wasn't informed because of his wife and I don't want to lie to him as a brother.

I faked a call and said we'd talk about it today.

My good brothers and sisters and elders on Nairaland, I need your matured advice. Thanks

If I where in your shoes, I will just mind my business.

You got nothing to tell my bro else, you'll be treated as busybody.... Just protect yourself and your wife from her venoms. How sure are you that her husband doesn't know about her bad manners? The man may be playing dumb about it to avoid high blood pressure.

DO NOT ASSASSINATE YOUR CHARACTER BY YOURSELF.

'Good' men love 'bad' women. I say 'good' because your friend knows the type of woman he married and chose to wife her. What does that make him?? You think say na mumu abi?

He knows her good and bad sides while she knows his mumu button wella. cool

Next time, stop going to judge your marital woes to your neighbor. You ought to know better. Abi you wan cause the same fight wey dey shake ya own domot?

You don't need to tell him.
1. He knows his wife already more than how you people know her because they live together. He has seen it as his cross that is why he pretends as if he didn't know.
2. If you tell him you too have become like her, so keep quiet.
3. It is better you know already who she is so know what you say in her presence.
4. By the way it is not compulsory you keep friends just because you are from the same state. Even in the family know who to relate with.

He is not complaining. He is happy with his marriage. If he did not discover what you already know, he wouldn't believe you and that will be fresh trouble. He may even like her busy body.
My brother just look the other way, protect your home, and pray for the best.

Loose lips sink ships.

Considering you all have a friendly relationship that goes beyond just being neighbours. I think you should tell your neighbour/village brother, you will be doing him a disservice by keeping quiet.

He already feels bad that he wasn't aware of the marriage introduction of your female neighbour and he may be wondering what on earth did I do, to be passed over with that information.

I'm sure he was aware of wifey's character prior to you moving to that area (I hear most husbands know their wives already and vice-versa) but perhaps if he hears it from you (a close friend) he may begin to really understand how her attitude damages relationships and he might do something about it.

Ngkman, please next time paragraph your post and use pen names like Dan, Chika etc for your narrative. The flow of your story wasn't easy to understand with the constant use of he, she, her, brother, sister - I couldn't tell who you were referring to sometimes, communication should be easy to understand my brother.

God bless u, it's thru the comments I understood what the story was about

In all you do in this Life learn to mind your business in all settings you find yourself in. I know this advice will be hard for some as Nigerians always immerse themselves in other peoples business.

Imagine what you’ve gotten yourself into. “Cook without Maggi gossip” etc.

My advice to you is for you to do that which you have a n mind as you willfully got yourself entangled in your village, yard people’s brouhaha.

In everything, let wisdom guide you (Egi, 1930).

That is very simple. Call him and tell him that in life some people take certain decision not because the hate the other person but for a reason best known to them and in the car at hand, tell her that the lady in question could never have take such decision without good reason in the interest of all of you guys. Then you will tell him to handle things as a matured man, he should continue to act along as you guys have been together but later on when everything settled down, he can call the lady and express how he feel about the whole thing. Tell him he is a good husband and you are believing that he can handle the issue at hand maturely.
With this he will do everything to act naturedly and the lady in question will feel guilty when he noticed that the guy don't seems to pick offense then by the time he eventually approach her to express how bad he feels for having to hear from outsiders despite how close you guys are, the lady will be tempted to say something that will give him clue on why she decided not to tell them. Success
