My Mom used to force me to wear clothes (especially natives) I didn't want to wear on sundays, and my dad used to send me the most annoying errands ever, he'd call me from my room put on the fan in his room when he's sitting right next to it.

Lol, I no fit laugh grin grin grin
In my own case, my hair was shaved off when I was a newbie in the university . From pry to secondary, am always on low cut, cause my mum wants it that way.. And that's the kind of schools , my folks always enroll me in... sad... Until I gained admission to a cool university, so I started weaving, and braiding my hair.. The day,my mum ransacked my bags , after sending me to the market and saw two love letters in my bags..., mehn! It was like hell on earth.... When I came back from market, I hear real WORD!
Afte lashing at me for an hr, she dragged me and scrapped my hair , saying that's y guys are interested in me... embarassed... So I feel on top of the world abi?
That day , was a very very terrible day sad... The next day, I told my new bf, who wrote the love letter to please stay clear from me oooo grin....he looked hurt and confused, and that am playing mind games abi?.... At such young age?....I just walked away quickly and told him to leave me alone for good!....didn't feel like arguing.... But that's in the past , sha... sad
Parents can be annoying at times...sighs

That's rough. Things like is what makes people kick against coporal punishment. Some parents cross the line from simply punishing their kids to abusing/torturing them.

Every festive period,we'll all be taken to the local barbers and our hair scraped (skin).Worst of it was that most of our sallah cloths then was wrapper and buba.You need to see how funny we looked with the headtie and our wrappers constantly falling off.

My parents,especially my dad,were very suspicious people. My dad had a huge phobia for his daughters getting pregnant outside wedlock,and he put some very strict protective measures.One of them was we must always come home from skool 2geda.
My Sis n I were in d same sec skool,but she was three classes ahead of me.
That fateful day,the school had her inter house sports which was normally a big event.Because of d class difference bw my sis n I,we somehow separated n lost each other. We both panickEd n spent d rest of d day looking for each other.We eventually had to go home separately much later in d day. I came in first n saw Dad waiting for us with a furious look on his face. I tried to explain all to no avail as my dad firmly believed we were with boys..Later in d nite,we were given d flogging of our lives despite our pleas of innocence. We both remained bitter n angry afterwards.

The flogging I received for 8th position in Continuous assessment because 7 of my classmates scored 47/50 and My 45/50 was only good enough for 8th position.

That date November 5 1987.

2. The flogging I received for not going to lesson and lying that I went not knowing our lesson teacher had come home to find out why I didnt come for lessons. March 15 1993

There were a lot of things but one I won't forget was my mum always giving me cabin biscuits inside paper to go to school and eat as lunch. While my mates were eating rice and every other food..I was known as cabin biscuit boy. Honestly, God, Jesus and even satan, all knew that I hated dat cabin biscuit with a passion. But, yet mum...I love u lots.

Every time a visitor gave us money to buy biscuit or something for ourselves, my mother would wait for the visitor to leave before collecting the money from us, saying she was going to use it to buy gifts for us. Each time we asked her for the money, she would say trash like "Where do you think the money to buy the food your eating and clothes you're wearing came from?". As we grew into teenagers in high school, she had to stop that nonsense because we were getting pretty rebellious about it.

I also experienced the famous remote one that every Nigerian child can relate to. My parents would call us all the way from Jerusalem to pass a remote that is literally 2cm away from them.

My dad always telling us to change the channel to CNN or BBC in the middle of a very interesting movie or cartoon.

These are just a few of their numerous shenanigans.
