Forcing us to pray every night and early morning by waking us up with water.

Always want me to follow her to the market and it will take hours to buy something while I have football to go play.

Lesson: Today I can't do without loving God and praying
Feels good escorting my babe to go to the market without complaining

Unexpected brain resetting-Slap


I just notice that after the slap, within few micro seconds, am usually cold, cool, calm, obedient, quite, brilliant and vocally loud and clear.


So when I find myself among situations that warrant it, I reset peoples brains very fast. I got a very fast hand.




lol. Crazy .

Oh
No one hates morning devotion as much as I do lipsrsealed
Every morning, 6:00am sharp. You must wake up unless you want to start your day with cane. Then we all gather clumsily in the parlour to start singing praises... So annoying eh
But it shaa thought me how to wake up early and say my prayers on my own without being forced.
I still dread going home sometimes because of that.... I love my momma

Ah! My mum is xoo wonderful.. When I was little, she'd always scold and say 'Yhu won't live with me forever' when I misbehave or speak pidgin or use words/slangs she finds offensive..

Buh now, she'z like 'who yhu dey form and dey speak English for?' or 'now that yhu've graduated, I know yhu are already planning to marry and run away from this house, small pikin wen I born yesterday'.. then she'd start telling me the boring story of how she ran away from home for 3days when dad told her parents of his marriage plans..
Whenever I interupt/counter her statement, she'd be like 'yhu don dey do wetin I dey do na, how yhur mouth no go sharp'...


My mom always had her way of finding what I did wrong in every misunderstanding with my friends/mates while their mom would defend them even when they were clearly at fault.. and at a point I thought she was being bias because she didnt like me... buh it really helped me stay out of trouble or fight for myself when necessary knowing that no one would fight for me..

love her xoo much

my mama is a disciplinarian and strict....sometimes she wouldnt give us launch even whnen the fridge is filled up with orishirishi.she would tell us to feel what ppl that eat one or two square meal feel when they are hungry.....now i am able to adapt to different situations.

I and my brothers and cousins usually eat from the same plate.my cousins were older and they were usually asked to pick anything first before me.she never discriminated against dem nor gave me a special favour......now i dont even know how to segregate aainst ppl.i vowed to threat my children and other children equally when i get married......if i cant bear a child when i get married,i wouldnt panick or pray for fruitfulness.....i wud adopt as many as possible

Making me do everything a "Boy" should never do when growing Up:

*Cooking, even on special days!
*Plaiting her hair (and my wife was very surprised when l offered to plait her hair! grin )
*telling her stories from books l read (Who is the adult here?)
*Backing my junior ones (Do l look like a house-girl? )
*Washing plates and 'big" clothes (No washing machine in those days!)
*Siding with my Dad against me, on everything (Those two, ehn....) angry
*Making me return money l found on the floor, to wherever l found it (only for someone else to take it!)
*Insisting l must carry first all the time (na only me dey the class or what?)
*Not allowing me follow my passion of being a footballer (my play mates eventually made it to the national team and she regretted that sha)
*Making me do Sciences`, when l would have loved to do Art subjects (You must be Doctor, by force by fire!)
*Forcing me to pray at 6am in the morning, which is when l enjoy my sleep most!
*Pulling my Ears over minor issues; they get very hot and hurt so much angry

But what hate most about my Mum is creeping into my room at 3am in the midnight, with a cane in hand and tapping me awake to get flogged!
That is very harsh Mum..... l dont do it to my kids and they are still turning out great.
(Is it only my Mum that does this 'cos l've not seen anyone report the same thing)

But hey, she was a great Mum and l still `love her to bits.
The "values" she implanted in me back then, kept me going when the going was tough!
kiss kiss
Even if you put all the problems of Nigeria on my small head, even if l am penny-less, even if everything goes down, l will always remember Mum saying: You've got to be strong because only the strong can survive!
No dulling, No jumping into the Lagoon........ naah, No way!

She buys me a chick. I nuture n feeds it. When a festive period comes i say I'll take the lap or eat it alone. Then I'll recieve the beating of my life.. Happy mother's day. Love you much mum

When I was younger, like 11 or so, there was this age mate of mine in our neighbourhood that used to bully me a lot. Sometimes she'll threaten me not to come out and play with the other kids otherwise she'll beat me because I had offended her. I was outside with others one day and immediately I sighted her coming, I ran to the house. My mum asked whats up and I stupidly said 'Happiness wants to beat me'. It was cane my mother used to pursue me outside. When the girl saw me, she was suprised I had defied her and came to fight me. I mentally weighed the easier of the two: my mom's cane or happiness' blows. I fought back and because she didnt expect me to even fight back, I won easily. That ended the bullying forever and I started standing up for myself.
By the way, when I decided to use my new found strength to become the neighbourhood fight champion, na cane my mama use do factory reset.
Shout out to all mothers.



Loool! This happened to me too! Was mummy's boy n around 9 or so! A local boy n his little bro always made life hell for me...must shift when his coming...if fetching water must halt n let him fetch... Or fetch for him n also carry d water....all these in front of my little bro! My mum used cane to pursue me one day sayin' if u can have a dicck u can fight.. Now go n beat DAT little rat!
I went to fetch water at d well with my lil bro when he came again with his cronies n he broke my buckets...don't know where I got d strength from....rushed this guy...carried him into some banana trees n beat Sango n Sanpona into his destiny...then proceeded to do same to his cronies....u should have seen d heroic look on my brother's face....all coz mummy told Me to Man up!
Love u MAMUSHKA!

Where do I start from, I would say the list is endless but I will list the few I can recollect.
Never pampered me despite being the only boy amidst three girls, cooked and did every house chores now I cook myself as a serving Corp member in Kwara State thereby helping save money by not buying food from Mama put or depend on Ladies that will wreck ones life.
Not giving me all that I wanted as a kid, letting me know the importance of doing away with some things that mostly drain people financially.
Waking us early even when on holidays and no where to go because she believed it will affect us negatively in the long run.
So many I can't remember but I sincerely appreciate all those annoying stunts you pulled.
The good qualities people talk about me were as a result of your Motherly Care and Love, though annoying then but now they are part of me and people take a clue from them..
GOD BLESS YOU MAMA... MUCH LOVE TO ALL GREAT MOTHERS AND SUPER LOVING MUMS OUT THERE.


Now this is my story!
I'm the only boy child amongst three girls...the last born at that.
Yet I was left to cook alone. I grew up technically alone and that explains why I do things myself as an adult. I'm so independent that I don't even seek people's advice...even my family member's too.
I seldom tell people where I go to and I don't even feel safe sharing my plans with anybody and that has kept me a distance from my family,
what's more... I live life as if I'm alone.
It's now that I'm an adult that my family are trying to bring me closer by showing me care...but it is too late.
I'm on my own.

It has even affected my relationship with women, reason why I don't take women seriously and i can't even genuinely love a lady. I don't date... even when I feign dating a girl, she will keep complaining about lack of attention and care and stuff like that.
About my mum; well she tried the little way she could. And she is still trying.

About religion, count me out, I'm not a church goer. I argue a lot because I'm versed in knowledge about the Bible itself and life as a whole. I was born in February. I am a very difficult person to indoctrinate.

Inter alia; I love myself that way. I feel it makes me more of a man... although I'm scared of how my family life will be with my wife and kids.

I should cease here...
