This is not to say Nigerian parents are the worst. No, our parents are pretty great. We love them very much. Quirks and all.
Everyone remembers their childhood with nostalgia and longing. Our childhoods were simpler times. But we’re talking about the quirky habits of our Naija parents.
I bet you can already think of a couple. Not to worry. Here are some things you’d never hear from your Naija parents ever in your life:
1. I love you
Oyibo parents can tell you how much they love you. Naija parents ain’t got time for that. They prefer to show you by paying your school fees, feeding you, clothing you etc. That right there is real love the Naija way.
Lol, Naija parents are NEVER wrong. They are always right. Even when they are wrong, they are still right..
Our parents don’t like to apologize. Ever. If you like be backed by the entire world, you will never the words “I’m sorry”. Biko, move on.
4. Don't go to Church
The day your overly religious parents tell you ''Don't go to church ", just be sure your real parents have been kidnapped by aliens
5. Can I Come In ?
6. I once failed an exam
Our parents are Einstein's. They have never failed any exams or ever gotten a C in thier lives. They were always first in their classes and grade A was always their birthright. Or so they will have us believe
7. You can choose your career
Lol, just grow up first. Naija parents have already sorted your future career for you. Choose career for yourself I can't even imagine lol..
Meanwhile ....lol
The only time you'd hear this is if you are seriously sick. If not,it is what is available that you will eat.
9. Keep the change
Keep what! After the errand you must remit every single extra or balance that comes from the errand
10. Don't worry I'll clean up
Ha! Why would your Nigeria parents clean up when they have dishwasher, washing machine, vacuum cleaner,windot washer all rolled into one form for you,their child? ..
Oya which of you guys have parents that don't do any of the above ?
