I cherish my Nigerian culture. If we have to add "bro" and "aunty" to our elder siblings name, why would I dare call my mom by her first name?
If you cannot respect the age difference, respect that she's your mother. Not at the same level.

Ahhh, my mom is not the beating kind. . . . her words are more poisonous grin

I call my parents by their name when im just kidding but my step mother "ma" because shes Ondo.
and she always runs her mouth about my parents and I not growing up with "real yoruba" training, but i can see where shes coming from.

She dont understand how we do in LASGIDI tho

lol, me too. i went for an interview (secondary school) when i was 9 and the first question i was asked was my father's full name. i knew the answer but couldn't say because i was sitting between my parents and my dad was looking at me. so i lied that i didn't know his name, and started crying. they probably guessed i was embarrassed cos they didn't ask for my mom's full name.

me too (actually it's Mummy & Dad). even when i'm talking to people who don't know my parents i always say 'my mum(my) or my dad'.

^^ you can bomb your parents but you cant call them their real names?

gosh you're messed up
Re: Have You Ever Called Your Parents Thier Real Name? by Nobody: 3:26pm On Feb 07, 2010
I've never called my parents by their first names. It's inappropriate.

If I call my uncles and aunts Uncle ***** and Aunty ***** out of respect, why would I now disrespect my parents by calling them by their first names? I've always called them Mom and Dad.
