Nigerian parents deceived us a lot.
As kids, we depended on our parents for a lot of things, and in our eyes, they could do no wrong. Little did we know that they lied to us regularly and sold us dreams. Here are some lies you probably told as a kid.

1. ‘Tell me the truth, I won’t beat you’
This was the tactic they used when they were trying to get you to confess to a wrongdoing. The truth never set anyone free. They always flogged us.

2. ‘Oya go and wear your shoes, I’m waiting for you.’
By the time you come back with the shoes, they’d be nowhere to be found.

3. ‘I always came first in class’.
If everyone’s parents came first in class, then who came second?

4 If you sit near a boy, you’d get pregnant
As if pregnancy is transmitted through mere skin contact.

5 Mummy’s tummy is big because she ate too much
This was the lie they used to explain pregnancy.

Every African parent was first in their class

6. If a lizard sees your teeth it won’t grow back
They just made up a random lie so we wouldn’t flash our missing teeth everywhere.

Daddy: It's not for kids. If you eat it you'll never grow up.

Me: Eeh, I don't want to grow up. Still give me.

Daddy: And you may go blind too.

Me: I want to go blind. Give me.

Daddy: You'll die if you eat it.

Me: Yes, I want to die. Give me.
