I went for mine in delta. Yours is even good. I had to see the parents first and then I was directed to meet with the extended family.
I was honoured.
Just dress on native {simple}, go with wine, at least with one of your family friend or mature siblings so that he will speak for you intence of marriage description. Then you are gud to go.
I wish you Goodluck
Re: Meeting My Fiancée's Parents For The First Time! by bitingcool: 8:38pm On Aug 11, 2016
Don't overblow your finances or where you work as if Dogara help you pad your salary, so that they no go turn you to their central bank in the future. Just stay humble and interesting.

Turn your phone settings to Vibrate and put it IN your pocket. You FIL to be may wish to dial your number to confirm it once saved

Even if they be shayo family, Don't buy alcoholic wine on the first visit. That said, please don't buy EVA wine. No be valentine.

Use deodorant and cut your fingernails

Carry your motor go mechanic before the D-day to avoid spiritual embarrassment on your way going and returning

Don't be an ass-licker.

Ask questions too ooo, make you no go marry into stories that touch family.

You'll do great.

Your cloth should not be made with curtain material o. Might just be the same with the curtain in their house. Lolz.

For the tips
If they are rich people, don't act too poor

If they are poor people, don't act too rich.

If you are poor, think about what the future holds for your unborn children.

A lot of people have said right thing. Just wear a good trousers/pant with a nice casual shirt. Just look neat and a bit affluent.

Just man up.. No go dey wear suit.

A Jean and a shirt is just ideal, don't go all in for being a gentleman, be more of a homely guy.

No touching, no excessive perfumes, wear something that won't contribute to making you sweat... You probably will.

Talk less, listen more. Make her dad feel like the wisest man on earth, look deeply into his eyes (the guy code) when he's talking to you, but don't go on nodding like an agama, he may be fooling you to know if you're stupid



Some Indoor Plants With Amazing Home Scents


Top questions they'd ask are:

Do you work, where, do you like it? (Protip: Don't meet the parents if you're unemployed.)

Where did you two meet? (Mom may ask)

Do you have any siblings?

If something you do triggers a red flag, questions could get more intense:

Well, what are your feelings on :controversial topic (maybe Buhari's issues) : (If you are afraid to answer, try a neutral: You are interested in learning more, can they please enlighten you?)

The killer phrase:

Tell papa you're interested in something he talked about, and you'll love to learn more on another date... He'll start growing fond of you.
