5 Things You Should Never Do/say In Front Of Your African Parents by Diekola17(f): 7:51pm On Jun 18, 2016
As Aficans we are special people. I do not mean special in terms of being euphemistic, we are truly special. African parents are generally known to set high moral standards for their children. This is because of the African cultural beliefs and value system which does not give room for brazen decadence.

So , in this article, I'll be talking about five things you should never do/say in the presence of your African parents.

* Never say that when you get married you'll hire an House help. Some house helps have caused a whole lot of damages to families they've worked for. There have been cases where house helps have sexual relations with the husbands of their bosses or house helps maltreating the children. There was a time when a video went viral of a Ghanian house help who beat her boss' child to a pulp. So, you say you will hire an house help your African parents be like, "My child, no try am o. Some of those people get evil spirits o. They will ruin your house o."

* Never say that you will adopt a child/children. Your African parents would be like, " Do you pray to be childless?" Even when you try to explain that the adoption is born out of love for the less privileged African parents especially in laws would consider it a taboo for you to intend bringing a bastard into their son's house.

* Never tell your African parents that you are an atheist. Atheist? Before you know what's up, you would have arrived in a deliverance ministry where the minister would be flogging the demons out of you. Your parent, especially your mum would be like, " I fasted 40 days and 40 nights before I had you. How can you now say there is no God. Every foul spirit in you, Holy ghost fire!!!

* Never tweak in front of your African parents. I remember coming home on a break and I tried tweaking to Nicki Minaj's Anaconda in front of my mum. I thought she didn't mind until one day she said, Diekola, do you watch porn? Are you addicted to sex? I was too stunned to give a reply.

* Never wear a skimpy outfit in front of your African parents. African parents don't like it when you show off your private body parts. They think it makes you look like an LovePeddler. African parents would be like, my dear, charity begins at home, Awon omo alasewo lon WO iru nkan bayi..(This outfit is mostly worn by prostitutes). Lol.
I hope you enjoyed the post.
Comments are mostly welcome.
I'll also appreciate it if you share.
Thanks for your time.
Love you loads. Kizzes.

Never fart in front of them.
Never tell them you are going for a pastoral visit to your guy's place.
