WILL YOU GROW UP TO BECOME A "TYPICAL AFRICAN PARENT"? by Justice Okwudike.

Is there anyone in the family that can get on your last nerve like the “typical African parent”?

A typical African parent is never wrong, ever! They never apologise for their mistakes or shortcomings, instead they find a way to reason around it (usually centered on wisdom) They always win.

A typical African parent will send you to school to get an education but will try to prove to you that what you’ve learnt at the university, they already know (why not home-school me and save all the money?)

A typical African parent will hardly ever let you go out to social gatherings but would continually question your single-hood once you hit late twenties.

A typical African parent hardly speak of the good in you but is quick to judge your mistakes.
A typical African parent’s ultimate defense is the part of the bible that says, “children, obey your parents…” but they forget that there’s a part of the same bible that says, “parents, do not provoke your children”!

A typical African parent wants you to be the best in everything. You must come out first place right from kindergarten till you graduate from the university with a first-class!

A typical African parent will worry about you hoping you are in a safe place at all times (and you have not joined bad gangs)

A typical African parent is willing to sell their last possession just to see you get ahead in life.

A typical African parent constantly wishes and prays that things go well with you and you make it far better than their life’s achievement so they can boastfully rejoice that their sweat wasn’t in vain and be able to brag about you to their friends while they bring out their phone to call you and yell at you why you haven’t sent the money they requested (just last night!)
