Can you imagine…. What type of mother is that? In life maybe we should just mind out businesses…

Majority of Nigerian mothers are like that nowadays.

One Saturday, me and another neighbour just came out from our compound, only to be hearing shout from those boys that "we can't do them anything, that we don't have the right to tell them not to stand at the front of our gate, that if we do anyhow, we go see anyhow". We just neglected them and went away.
Later on, I learnt that our caretaker warned the mother to tell her daughter not to be standing at the front of the compound with those guys. So obviously, the girl went and told the guys about it that's why they were raking.

On the on Friday, 22 Dec, I came back home to hear the news that the girl have been arrested in connection to a stolen item and even though the item have been found, it was found in a bad state and the owner is insisting that they pay him for damages before he can withdraw his case. Police are saying that they can only release the girl if we pay the owner the money his requesting for,as the boys claimed the item spoilt at the girls hand, but for the boys, they will be charged for breaking into someone's residence to steal an item.

Now the mother have been begging us to help her raise money to pay the owner of the item as she doesn't have enough. But our caretaker is saying that none of us should donate a penny to her.

I just feel as though we should help her, but all the other neighbours are buying the idea of the caretaker that we should stay out of the case.
i am just reading your second page which is the continuation of the first page. I think you should help her get her daughter release. Let the mother and daughter sign an undertaken at the station that she'd not be found frolicking around with miscreants. Help her for the sake of humanity please

Mind your business sir, otherwise you will be a gossip topic in that compound. Caretaker already gave all of you a soft instruction. You'll appear like a compound rebel because of a small upcoming criminal girl.

For the sake of your safety, plan to leave that vicinity. You calling the attention of the mother earlier had generated a kind of soft eneminty with those small boys... They are not just yahoo boys.. They are cultists too.

Leave the girl... It's best she stays long in the cell to learn her lesson very well. She's becoming a criminal and this might be God's way of cautioning her. She's just 3 months plus in that street

You know, I used to wonder if people who post certain things online have parents or people they respect, but then it occurred to me that some of them are already mothers with grown-up children. So yeah, mothers say worse things.

One day, a lady came home with long braids, and the mother's concern was how her boyfriend would cope during doggy. She voiced this concern out loud, and I overheard it because I was outside.

I want to believe that you didn't read my post well before you typed this your reply. I have important things to do than to even think of following a lady. This is one of the problem with you ladies, when a guy shows a geniu concern towards your wellbeing, you automatically think that he's trying to "get you".

So if your neighbour sees a family member of yours following criminals, he should just allow her be because correcting her means he want her to be chilling with him. Uwa mmebi.

Lady, not all men follow things under skirt.
Bro, how is your conscience treating you? Is it okay with the whole "mind your business" stuff? Will it not judge you harshly if you don't help? In most situations, I do things that satisfy my conscience, and there are times that I regret following it, but I know deep inside that it would have been worse if I hadn't listened to it.

Forget what people will say or think; do you, do what is right.

The lady is still in the age of unseriousness and will likely regret her actions in the future. This very incident will teach her a good lesson if she has sense, so please help if you can. If a certain police officer minded his business in 2015, I would probably be in prison right now wasting away for something I didn't do.

Looking away always sounds nice until you are the person being ignored.

Forget the mother; she actually doesn't have one.

Do you; it might be your worst mistake or the best decision this year, but you'll never know if you don't try.

I agree with you. Me I have always been someone who takes action to fix it correct things. When I started noticing the girl hanging out with those guys, I was really concerned, cos i knw it won't take time before she lands in trouble. But what is more worrisome is the fact that the mum knows about it but refuses to caution her daughter.

This issue of mind your business is actually causing more harm than good in the society.

Generally on our part, we don't usually allow people into our compound anyhow. And it seems like these guys are using the girl to gain access and hang around our compound. Within us as neighbours, it became a concern for us but we thought that soon it will stop. But it keep getting frequent. I just asked the mum that question because a concern mother shouldn't allow her daughter flow with people like that.

I didn't know that I will be embarrassed by her.
Oga, you tried to warn the mum but she was more interested in finding a husband for her daughter, even if it means the prospective husband was a criminal. She has other children, let them contribute to pay for the item.

As for the silly girl, I hope she has learned her lesson

It is funny how folks are often quick to say mind your business BUT when they themselves are in a mess or bad situation they desperately wish someone will help them and not mind their business.

For instance, when it is raining or about to rain, the same crew of mind your business will want you to help them with a ride in your car or help them bring their clothes in from the line. When they jam wahala with police or SARS now, they will want others to join them in seeking justice and fighting their fight. They will not remember to say mind your business in these situations grin.

I write all this to say you did nothing wrong by voicing your concerns to the mother because that girl was courting the sort of trouble that could affect all of you in that compound. What am I even saying sef, her interaction with those boys was already affecting you guys, because they were repeatedly blocking the entry and exit point into your compound with their presence and refusing to move for others to conveniently pass.

On the matter of contributing money to help the mother PLEASE MIND YOUR BUSINESS, do as the caretaker has asked and stay out of it. Let the mother plead with the property owner and explain to him that she has no money, her continuous pleading may touch his heart to withdraw the case. There is a lesson to be learnt in all of this by the mother and daughter, they may not learn it if you guys rush to bail them out.

These neighbours also sound like the sort of people who can be ungrateful, the sort who turn around to bite the finger that fed or helped them.
Well said

You see this bolded part is the reason why lots of landlords profile prospective tenants but the landlords are called harsh when they say they don't want this, that, they want working class, young couple whatever specification they state they want, its from experience.

Just one wrong tenant can give the wrong people access to the compound and land everybody in trouble if care is not taken.

If they give this woman quit notice now, they will say landlords are wicked.

Comot eye oo, let the mama pay for the consequences. If it was a mama that has been cautioning her daughter it's a different thing entirely.

Just know that those boys will probably rob one of the other flats in the compound, if they continue associating with that girl, it's just a matter of time.

Lots of parents of young adults are failing these days

Stay away from contributing as the Caretaker has said.

You just said the truth ... And that's one of the best way to keep ones compound safe.

Lots of parents are really failing in their responsibility, especially if it's just the mother. Am very sure, if the dad was to be fit and around, he won't condone such.
Imagine sometimes I come back home around 9:30 10 then I will see the young girl still outside with the boys and the mother is comfortable with that.
