Here are the 15 things you probably must have
heard all time if you grew up with a nigerian
parents.
See below:-




1. “You have joined bad gang.”
Used when your behavior just defies all
understanding.
“Why are you flying your shirt like an agbero? So
you have joined bad gang?”
2. “Am I your mate?”
Used when they are saying one thing and you are
saying two things.
“I am talking and you too you are talking. Am I
now your mate?”
3. “You’ve grown wings.”
Used when you are trying to form adult in front
them.
“AH! So you’ve grown wings abi?”
4. “Before I open my eyes…”
Used when they want to give you adequate time
to escape before they kill you.
“My friend, you better get out of my front before I
open my eyes.”
5. “Let me keep it for you.”
Used when they want your money. You’ll most
likely never see it again.
“Aunty said she gave you money, bring it let me
keep it for you.”
6. “If you like.”
It actually means “if you want to die”
“If you like, don’t be inside this house by 6.”
7. “I did not kill my parents, you will not kill me.”
Used they are reaching the peak of their stress
levels.
“I did not kill my parents, you will not kill me. It’s
me that will kill you first.”
8.. "There is rice in the fridge.”
Used whenever you bring up eating outside.
“Mummy, can we branch Mr. Biggs?”
“Why? When there is rice in the fridge.”
9. “When I was your age.”
Used when they are about to exaggerate.

villages just to get to school”

hour.
“Tunde get ready, we will soon be going.”
12. “Oya come and beat me.”

talk back to them or worse, dodge a slap.
“Oh? You are now a man abi? Oya come and beat
me now.”
13. “See your life.”
Used when they want you to reflect on your own
stupidity.
“So this is the result you brought home? You see
your life, when all you know is to be pressing
phone.”
14. “Can’t they come to your own house?”
Used when you want to go visit a friend.
“Everytime Folake’s house, Cynthia’s house. Can’t
they come to your own house? Or you want them
to think you don’t have house?”
15. “Have you seen me this morning?”

morning?”
