Meeting My Mans Mother Tomorrow. Any Advice? by Melmo: 2:35pm On Jan 20, 2013
Hi. I'm meeting my partners mother tomorrow. She seems to be a hardcore Nigerian women and this is her first son. So should I expect tomorrow taking into account I am younger than him?

Excuse me. Were you expected to be older than him?

Is there any ceremony when you meet an in law? What do you expect apart from the usual niceties and maybe some few questions.

Dondav: Are you supposed to be older than him? embarassed embarassed embarassed embarassed embarassed embarassed

Lol! Maybe the OP meant she MUCH younger than the man.
@ OP, I understand perfectly how you feel. I'm sure you are high one minute and shaky the next right?
1. She will ask you a barrage of questions. Answer them truthfully and to the best of your knowledge.
2. Do not go over board trying to impress her doing stuff you know you won't be able to keep up with. It will come back to haunt you cos she will be expecting you to keep it up.
3. Dress casually elegant, yet simple. A white top on a multi-patterned ankara skirt or an ankara blouse on a pair of jeans will do wonders.
4. Bend your Knees well to greet her. Speak respectfully and use "ma" when you want to say anything to her or ask her anything.
5. Smile.

Congrats! Your man found you important enough to meet his mama formally. Expect a ring soon wink(unless you do something really bad)

She did. He gave her a beautiful ring and asked to be permitted to come to the father to buy a bed.

Make sure you wear white and roll on the ground at sighting him as greeting. *Sign of respect* lipsrsealed
Re: Meeting My Mans Mother Tomorrow. Any Advice? by Konnektions146(m): 7:24pm On Jan 20, 2013
no faking, no forming.

be free and try to adjust well if u re sleepin over.

try and adapt to the environment and dont express yur displeasure out rightly if u are not very comfortable physically.

hope u have a good communication medium with yur man. eg signs and stuff.

good luck

Hi everyone. I'm south african and he is nigerian from south south. His parents are in town so I'm meeting them this week. I just wanted to get advice because South african people and nigerian people are very different so I don't want to make a mistake. My man has told me what to expect but in a vague way. I just don't want to disappoint her or myself or my man. Its a complicated situation. He has a child and I'm coming in as the woman he wants to marry and I guess the step mother of his baby. So please don't insult me. If you have nothing nice to say then don't say it at all.

Re: Meeting My Mans Mother Tomorrow. Any Advice? by naijainfogalery: 12:07pm On Jan 21, 2013
First of all, Smile (very Important)
When you wanna greet her if she is yoruba (Kneel Down) Nigerians respect their Culture
Dont be too forward
Complement her, That her son has said a lot about her and bla bla bla
Dont look Scared or afraid (they could see that as being a pretender)
Just be yourself and enjoy

Re: Meeting My Mans Mother Tomorrow. Any Advice? by Nobody: 9:04pm On Jan 21, 2013
I have a very important piece of advice for you, are you listening? Just BE yourself. Don't be ingratiating,don't struggle for her to like you, don't kiss her ass, seriously, because tomorrow will determine the tone of your relationship with her. If she's gonna like you,then it really doesn't matter what you do, as long as you're not I'll- mannered, or downright nasty or disrespectful.
