Shey you dey whine Nigerian mothers ni?
Nigerian mothers are indeed goated for many reasons. Apart from them carrying us for nine good months in their wombs, they are legendary in their comebacks and dramatics.
Let’s go over ten things these amazing beings will never be caught doing:
1. Miss Sunday Service
Pigs will fly before our mothers will miss Sunday service. Not rock their gele and best wears? Or meet with other mothers after service?
Hehe, pigs will fly first for real.
2. Say Sorry
The closest you can come to getting sorry after you have been dealt with, is her telling you to carry your food in the kitchen.
3. Use A Kitchen Cloth To Carry Hot Things
Just as the saying goes, not all superheroes wear capes. Nigerian mothers are known for carrying hot pots and pans with their bare hands.
Kitchen cloth for what?
4. Accept Defeat
Oh so, you want to argue with your mum? And hope to win? OYO is your case.
5. Carry Out Their Tasks Alone
This one is very annoying. Nigerian mothers would rather call you to pass them the remote in front of them than stretch their hands.
Or, call you from your room upstairs only to send you back there to bring her purse.
6. Communicate With Words
Our mum expects us to be body language and eye readers. They will legit give you signals with their eyes and expect you to know exactly what she means.
7. Stop Being Superstitious
Nothing is ordinary. And God forbid a Nigerian mother opens her eyes wide as village people work on her child’s case.
8. Speak Literally
If you innocently ask a Nigerian mother where you should place the item that she asked for, just expect “drop it on my head” as a response.
9. Come Empty-handed From A Party Or Wedding
Nigerian mums just can not go to a party without bringing something to munch on.
What am I even saying, Nigerian mothers, will pack enough rice and chicken that can last a whole week? That includes drinks and other souvenirs too.
10. Return Borrowed Money
If you lend her money and try to ask for it, she will tell you the history of how she birthed and brought you up. Just lend her what you can let go of.
