Nigerian parents are without a doubt a special breed and you can’t be too careful whenever you’re dealing with them. Best believe, we know the struggle and are here to help.
Here are five things that are best not shared with Nigerian parents. Please let us know the ones we missed out, you might be saving a soul.
1. The Real Price Of Stuff You Buy
How will you explain that you splurged a whole ₦750,000 on an ordinary phone? A whole plot of land and two Siennas when the Naira was still in its prime.
You will never live it down.
2. Your Exact Salary
The Tribe is not teaching you bad things please, but the fear of outrageous billings is the genesis of wisdom. Failing to heed our advice will cost you dearly.
Imagine your them keeping tabs on you and your ‘small’ salary.
3. Your Scam Experiences
Sympathy may tarry for a night, but the cutting words of your Nigerian parents? They will last for a long time. How did you mumu yourself to lose the money? How did you get all of that money in the first place?
You will be swallowing Panadol for both money lost and tongue-lashing at the same time.
4. When You Are Served Breakfast
Whether you cry a river after breakfast or not, you will still turn Eba at 10p.m. for your daddy. Why bother sharing the story?
Nigerian parents have no regard for broken hearts. You better suffer in silence with your dignity intact.
5. Your Friends’ Shenanigans
Whether by mistake or by possession of the devil, never spill your friends’ shenanigans to your Nigerian parent.
You may think it’s a gist now (bad of you anyway) but both you and the said friend will hear it.
#Unsolicited is a segment for reviews and opinion pieces. This edition showcases five teas you should never spill to your Nigerian parents.
