Characteristics of a Typical Nigerian Mother. (lol) by lanicky(f): 1:15pm On Mar 10, 2016
Lets be honest with ourselves, the typical Nigerian mum is a unique and beautiful creature created specially by God. grin



The typical Nigerian mum is full of life, social, fashionable and is passionate about her family.

1. A typical Nigerian mum will always answer question for question..lol

Child: mum, where should I drop this cup?
Nigerian mum: Drop it on my head
. grin

2. When the child says "mum, I want to go and play with my friend"

Niger mum's reply will be *in a commanding tone with arms akimbo*
"You must not go o, because have never seen that friend of yours in this house before". grin

3. A typical Nigeria mum is referred to as ‘Mama Somebody’

A Nigerian mum is referred to as Mama Nkechi or Mama Tolu. As soon as that child comes out of you, your identity changes. You become ‘Mama Somebody’. Lol

4. She's an expert in the art of backing a child

You cannot call yourself a typical Nigerian mum if you have never backed your child. Haba.

I remember when I was young, I used to back my younger ones..me wey never even born pikin. grin


The first trick any Nigerian mother or mother-in-law will teach her female child is the art of backing. This art is as old as time itself.

5. A Nigerian mum will not allow you to change the boring television channel even when she's not watching. If you dare insist to change the channel, she will be like "Tolu, oya go and read your books. At your age we were not allowed to watch Tele" tongue


6. Her backside is noticeable from afar

While this may not apply to all Nigerian mums, but let’s be honest, most of the mums we see on the streets or in our homes have a nice round ‘backyard’.

Childbirth and marriage gradually changes their figures as the years roll by. The good thing however is that their backsides are needed to ‘elegantly’ carry their wrappers or traditional attires that they so love to wear. kiss

7. She's a ‘gele’ or scarf tying expert

No matter what part of the country you are from. The typical Nigerian mum knows how to tie a head scarf or ‘gele’. The skills some Nigerian mums have in this regard, is simply extra-ordinary.

8. A typical Nigerian mum will tell her child's teacher to beat her child in school if he/she does not do the right thing, but if the teacher dare beat her child, Niger mum go wear trouser go fight the teacher for school. Lol grin
My granny once did this. grin

9. Her wrapper is one of her most important possessions

No matter how ‘posh’ or ‘classy’, she may claim to be, the typical Nigerian mum at least has a wrapper of some sort in her wardrobe. Wrappers are an essential item for backing children, dressing light to avoid the heat on days when there is no light or to protect us from dreaded mosquito bites.

10. Her eye is the most powerful tool of correction

Eye signal is perhaps the most powerful tool for the Nigerian mum. Woe betide any child that fails to read what their mother’s eyes are saying. grin

11. When you offend your mum and people plead on your behalf.
Niger mum will be like "ahhh! I promise not to beat her again", but when you get into the room, mum will lock the door and say "I'll beat the hell out of you today"

I do experience this when I was younger, cos I was a very stubborn girl. grin

11. ‘I will beat you’ is always at the tip of her tongue

Any Nigerian mother who hasn’t threatened to beat her child is lying. When a child misbehaves the first words at the tip of the Nigerian mother’s tongue is ‘I will beat you.’ Even a 10 month old baby is not spared.

12. No matter how educated she is, she still believes in traditional medicine and self medication.

13. "There's no food for you in this house today"
Lol. grin
Most Nigerian mum threaten their child with this phrase whenever she's angry.

As usual, the romance section faithful have now started gracing the Family section with their blunt and arrant penchant for generalizing and always failing to know what is, and what not!.
