Yes oh, she is the best, every Nigeria mother beats you with one hand and draws u with the other, wat she is trying to do is to shape you

That's the idea bro, this thread brought back a lot of memories.

shinarlaura:
Lol.....not only Nigerian mums. More like African mothers cuz I can relate.

Si tu me donne ton coeur, j'en garde toujours avec attention.

çava?

ibkayee:
Lol I remember telling my mum to put something on my head when I was younger and she was gobsmacked. Why though, I don’t understand, if you keep repeating these things around young children what do you expect lol

Love my mummy sha

I'm interested in knowing your father's reaction if he was around. Lol

As kids, my sister and I used to mess with mum like that but not when her super man dey around oo.

That one would release a brain resetting slap especially to me because he was always soft to his "precious daughter" but not his naughty son.

My dad is actually the more laid back of the two so he probably would've just corrected me calmly lol

*when you bring home an injured hand or leg and she boils water very hot at night... dem nor born you to say no..

She must smack you with her palm, we call it 'Abara' in Yoruba.

You got it good then.

I had the opposite. Mum was and is still laid back, no worries of any sort but dad, hmm.

Thinking of it now, I think dad was kinda laid back too but had to step up since his wife was more of hakuna matata person.

Besides, if you had younger me as son, you wouldn't afford to be laid back unless you wanted to raise just another idiot.

Lmao @ hakuna matata

I think my parents had it pretty good, my siblings and I are pretty laid back 'good' children in the Nigerian sense lol

Sweet Cameroonian babe.

Are you in Nigeria at present?

WHEN YOU GO LIVE ABROAD AWAY FROM NIGERIANS AND YOU EXPERIENCE THE WOMEN ABROAD....THEN YOU WILL KNOW THAT NIGERIAN MOTHERS ARE EXTREMELY TOXIC AND THEY RAISE THEIR DAUGHTERS TO BE EXTREMELY TOXIC.

UNTIL I RELOCATED ABROAD OVER 20 YEARS AGO......NEVER DID I BELIEVE THAT A WOMAN CAN BE NICE AND CARING AND GENUINELY SWEET AND PLEASANT TO BE WITH

NIGERIAN WOMEN ARE THE WORST THING TO HAPPEN TO MANKIND

To be honest all these behaviours mentioned here are toxic.
Just that we grow as children to see them as normal.

From birth, they program our minds to see these things as normal.


If any mother tries these things abtoad, the next door neighbour would get her reported and arrested


These things also transfers the toxicity from generation to generation.

MilitantAtheist:
All correct, when someone had a fight with your sibling and you didn't beat up the person whether your sibling is right or wrong. When someone your mate beats you outside and you cry home she beats you back and tell you to revenge

Ur mama was an agbero

you are actuall right most people dont see that way but a few do

For example, your mum will shout at you for not answering back a question she asked then 5 sec later she asks another question ( you keep quiet becoz few sec ago you got shouted for it) she goes haywire again for you not answering

Most people can not express themselves fully becoz we got confused when we were kids,simply becoz every expression of yourself good or bad you can be shouted for it

And the trend just gets Transfered from Generation to generation.

I really know lots of people that can't express themselves till date due to these kinds of childhood experiences.


And most of those questions they expect you to answer are actually Rheutheorical questions.

They believe that you should answer questions based on their own Tone and temperament.

Like they would yell as you with YOU THIS BOY, YOU HAVE COME AGAIN.
When you keep quiet, they get offended that you didn't respond.

What the hell am I to so?
NO MUMMY, I HAVENT COME AGAIN.

it messes up the child's confidence and emotional inteligence

Henc you find that in most african culture and tradition, emotions are thrown away, eg a daughter in law can be abused by MIL and she taught not to reply back or not voice her thoughts etc. Emotionally she will be damaged society is saying just stay cool and hubby would likely say the same. Eventually she will either snap on the kids for no reason and be a terrible MIL in the future becoz it would be her turn to be respected and not to be answered back and she would want to make sure that everyone knows that she is MIL and has power
