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 .

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.
