The Neighbour Next Door
Learning to mind your business will no doubt save you from a lot of embarrassment but we have to admit that there are certain situations that we see and just can't afford to look the other way, maybe due to the way we were brought up or some morals in us.
A good example is watching an old man getting beat up by a young lad. I mean, no matter how hard you try to look away, I'm sure that 50% of the people out there (if not more) will want to intervene and come to the old man's rescue even without knowing if he did something wrong or not. These are the times where minding your business becomes a bit more difficult to do.
A friend of mine who had visited the other day had told me a story about his neighbor who had recently moved into the same building where he lives. According to this friend of mine, his neighbour's boyfriend had been the one who paid for the apartment, painted the walls and even bought all the furnitures in it.
For a while everyone in the building had thought he was the one who would be living in the apartment until the day he had introduced his girlfriend to my friend. One night, this new neighbor (the boyfriend) had gone to my friends apartment to charge his phone and he had told my friend that he had rented the apartment for his girlfriend and himself would be traveling back to a different state the next day (he's based and works in a different state in the country).
He had jokingly told my friend that he was handing the protection of his girlfriend over to him and they had both laughed over it before he left. Now the problem is that the moment this guy left, the girlfriend invited another guy over and according to my friend, this guy comes to visit on different occasions and most times he always ends up sleeping over and looking at the both of them, it clear even for a blind man to see that they're more than just friends. Also, this guy never comes around when her boyfriend (the one who rented the apartment) is around.
It is obvious that she is cheating on him and my friend knows it but as expected, he has chosen to ignore and mind his business, which is a reasonable thing to do, especially seeing how he doesn't know any of them too well. But I will like you guys to tell me if you think he is making the right choice by choosing to mind his business or if this is like the case of the young lad beating the old man. Do you all think my friend should intervene or not?
Please leave your comments below.
Hmmmm, prayzz this cases tie gele oo 😂
I would have said your friend should mind his business but because the young guy who rented the apartment for his girlfriend, told your friend to look after the girl for him jokingly anyway, I think your friend Should in a polite way talk to the girl perhaps she would change?
This is what I can think for now🤦
Talking to the lady doesn't sound like a good idea to me because she would also remind him how what she's doing is none of his business.. I feel he has only two options here, either to tell her boyfriend or mind his business.
It's a complicated situation. From one perspective, he should not interfere in other's business. But I will interfere in this case if I were in your friend's place because I don't want a good man cheated on by others. For the sake of humanity, I will do the thing even if others think that it's not wrong. At least your friend gives that friend a hint.
So you feel he should tell her boyfriend about her affairs?
Yes, I think that. He just needs to inform it and leave the remaining task to her boyfriend. It would be his decision what to do.
Wetin Musa no go see for gate? 😂😂😂
This is quite a story 😅.
Well I actually think your neighbour is making the right decision, and I'm not saying this because I'm trying to support the girl or anything. If roles were reversed and the guy was cheating on his girlfriend, I would say the same thing.
Why?? Because I've learnt time and time again that in situations like this, it's just best for everyone if you minded your business. Cos if you don't, your good intentions might backfire on you, one way or another.
I enjoyed reading this 😄🌹
