Lately Lasisi Elenu has been trying to explain how a typical Nigerian parent would react to various issues. There are many things that are so similar about all Nigerian parents. Here are a few of them
1. Nigerian Parents never disturbed their parents while growing up: My mother would always say in Pidgin 'Ne I no kill my Mama, my own children no go kill me'. We don't really know because we never lived with them during their childhood. Who knows if they were the black sheep of the family?
2. Nigerian parents never fail: Growing up in a Nigerian home is very hilarious and when you bring home a report card where you failed, it's even more funny then. You could just hear a list of accolades they have gotten without actually seeing any evidence. A Nigerian parent can never tell you they have failed before and so you obviously have no reason to fail.
3. Nigerian parents know when to catch you: Ever tried doing something bad and then you got caught. Yeah, Nigerian parents are best at busting you that moment you want to do something creepy.
4. Nigerian parents never return borrowed money: Especially our darling mothers. We are not insulting them here but rather we are grateful they brought us into this world. But then, how will you collect your money when each time you ask you get a serious reply coupled with emotions. Mother's are dramatic.
