Nigerian mothers are one of the most special women in the world, with the way they made our childhood the sweetest with their drama and antics.
At times they can be the funniest person you know but other times they can be so scary, leaving you surprised and confused about their true personality.
However, some of us make jest of how our Nigerian mother’s act, but what we do not know is growing up within a Nigerian home, it is super difficult not to inherit or learn some traits from them.
As you are getting older you would have noticed you act in a certain way that reminds you of a typical Nigerian mother.
Let’s take about 5 TRAITS TO KNOW YOU ACT LIKE A NIGERIAN MOTHER.
- WHEN YOU NEVER MISS CHURCH SERVICE
When we talk about being religious and taking it extra seriously Nigerian mothers no dey carry last.
They do not miss church service for anything, be it mid-week service, bible study, Sunday service or even staying back after each service for different meetings.
If you find yourself doing the same thing, taking the “I will dwell in the house of the Lord” too serious, just know you inherited it from them, especially those who think the online church is not the same as being physical in church (it’s not that deep nah), just accept you are a typical Nigerian mother already.
- WHEN YOUR BARGAINING SKILLS ARE SO GOOD
Some people can price sha! To the point, that market women don’t like them. If you are one of these people just know you have the trait of a Nigerian mother already, because Nigerian mothers will bargain even to the point that you will be ashamed on their behalf.
They can price from four thousand naira to four hundred naira, and to make matters worse, they might still not buy from the seller, claiming it’s too expensive.
- WHEN THEY REPLY SORRY WITH SORRY FOR YOURSELF
You might have noticed your response to “sorry” is “sorry for yourself” more lately, well I do not blame you, it’s because you have heard your mum say it a thousand times to you.
Especially during road rage, when the other driver says “sorry” and you open your mouth to say “sorry for yourself”.
- YOU START USING CHILDREN OF NOWADAYS
There was a time we get upset when our mothers say “Children of these days” to us, now you see a set of younger people either being nonchalant to situations or being outright rude thinking that they are woke, and all you can think of saying is “these children of nowadays sha” just know you’ve inherited the Nigerian mother trait already.
- YOUR SIDE-EYES GAME IS ONE HUNDRED
Side-eyes are perhaps one of the most powerful tools for a Nigerian mother. I bet every child, young or old suffered this from their mothers. All you need to get cautioned is that one look.
Just one look and you’d sit up instantly! If you are aware your side eyes can melt a human being, and also make people shake and start confessing, you’ve joined the Nigerian mother gang.
