Firstly, growing up with Nigerian
parents is mega
interesting.Reflecting on the things
they often force us to do would
leave many laughing hysterically. They make us serve them
compulsorily.If you tried to stand
against your parents there’s a
chance that you could win series of
slaps doing so. Chances are you would probably do
same for your children too. 1. When You’re Sent On
Unnecessary Errands Nigerian mums are known for
sending their children on annoying
errands.Imagine being called by
your mum from a distance only for
her to ask you to get her something
within her reach. 2. When There’s A Reason For
You Failing At Something Nigerian parents love to jump into
conclusion.Trying to explain a
situation to them is almost
impossible.Nigerian parents would
be like.. “Why wouldn’t you hit your head,
when you wouldn’t face where
you’re going…” 3. Are You Okay? Nigerian parents are not checking
your mental health here, when they
say this, they’re trying to call your
attention to your stupidity. 4. When You’re Being Eyed In
Public/Event Please don’t be carried away when
you go out with your Nigerian
mum.She expects you to check her
face for signs.Don’t eat when she
blinks her eyes funnily, you do so
and you’re dead. 5. When You’re Expected To
Cry Without Making Noise When your parents beat you and
threaten you about crying.. You
hear words like! “Hold it! If I hear pim…” 6. When Your Actions Are Being
Justified Parents justify their children’s
actions and form a new reason to
lash out at them. “Why won’t You talk back at me
when you have started developing
Breast?” 7. When Parents Don’t Want To
Accept Defeat Sometimes parents feel they have
gone overboard with certain issues
but still try to cover up their
mistakes.They find a way of
covering their own fault and make
their children victim again. “You’re as tall as I am now, why
wouldn’t you talk to me like that”. 8. When They Want To Be
Dramatic Parents know they could move their
children to emotion by crying and
acting sad.They say things like. “After everything I’ve done for you, I
carried you in my womb for nine
months”.Trust me, you would end
up in tears yourself. 9. When Your Mum Cheats You
By Collecting Money From You Mother have interesting
attributes.They assume the role of
a bank when someone gives you
money.When you try to have your
money back, you would be told. “All the food you’re been eaten in
this house was given to me in the
market freely abi?”. 10. When Your Parents Want To
End Up Chastising Session We all know parents don’t get tired
of correcting their children either by
beating or lashing them with
words.However, they have a unique
way of concluding their speeches. “We would keep telling you the
truth, the rest is totally up to you.If
you continue, you’re doing yourself. Which of these can you relate
with? By DanceVille
