Back then when very young when she wants to go out she makes sure there are lots of beans to pick dirt from on our round table and so much more in the bag on the ground next to me so I can not go out to play with friends and when done I get exhausted and sleep instead and today I do not go crazy about being out all the time with friends for fun so they usually come around also I no dey use eating of beans play cos I really work for am when I dey grow up
She is fond of treating my elder brothers,myself and younger ones like we are still the kids she gave birth to back then even when our last born in the family right now is a graduate,when we get home she still runs around to make sure what ever we want to eat is available,checks on us at night and still wants to give us some money no matter how little....She likes me home cos she knows every spoon of food is important to me so no fear of food being thrown away
Also every saturday was sure that we would go clean church even after so many hours working in her hair dressing salon with waking up very early and sleeping late and school on one side no matter how tired and we attend a very big church we must complete the cleaning especially when the women who came keep complaining of being tired so me ,my younger bro and sister need to put in much effort to work cos we can not sit looking like the women sometimes we are there alone these women won't come or come we have finished the cleaning..... But today I barely attend church and I miss cleaning the church so much and sometimes when I attend a church cleaning session they are like you get strength ooo
God bless you mum and I pray you see our children and our children children.... I really miss so much about her damn Mama na highest but I do not pray to ever be a girl in my next life sha ooo .....

lol. So many things. I realised through her that parental control is very important. While growing up, I was forbidden to talk to boys/men. I can never forget one incident that happened when I was about 13 years. I was sent on an errand and I met this guy on the road and we got talking . He started professing stupid love for me and even gave me his no. I stupidly took the paper home though I had no plans of calling him. My mum was waiting for me at the door bcuz I wasted time. Immediately she saw me, she started shouting and that paper made it worse. She started insulting me, asking me of the rubbish the guy bought for me so he could f**k me. She even pulled my pants ooo lol to know if I had done it but I refused and insisted I just talked on the road. I even called one of my friend 's name and said she would bear me witness.
My loving mum dragged me along with her to all her friends' houses one by one and starting announcing to all of them that her daughter has started "f**king. Even my so called friend I called as a witness denied seeing me. I cried my eyes out . I was so embarrassed and frustrated bcuz I was accused wrongly.
Ever since that day during my teenage years, I ran away from anything called "male". So while others were out partying and doing boys stuff, I was always on my own even in my university days .
I a m happy with the way I was trained because it has made me the proud lady I am today.
ur mum for beat u well...

We are a family of 5 boys and a girl who was in a boarding school then. Our mother used to take us to the market to buy foodstuff monthly. What we hate was her idea of moving up from one shop to the other pricing things and at the end of the she would go back to the first shop to buy it claiming that that the seller was her customer. But now I do appreciate it because I have the patience of waiting in the car while my wife does her shopping

Iya Tunde eleyin...... Love you mum for all the cares and support. Then, I don't know why I deserved all those treatments until now. You taught me how to adapt to any situation, move closer to Almighty God, how to respect both old and young, reset my brain with slap whenever it's necessary, wake me up early, taught me how to do all the domestic works, advises me every morning after morning prayer, taught me how to care for my younger ones, banish discrimination, atimes furiously tell me how to do things right with koboko, listen to me always and gives answer to any questions asked, protect me with the power of prayer, she is the last person to eat until we've eaten above all she is my good teacher................ I pray you live long and to see us prosper and you shall eat the good fruit of your labour, the Lord will grant you long live and prosperity "IYA TUNDE ELEYIN"
Love you mum, you are simply the best and super Mama

Oh
No one hates morning devotion as much as I do lipsrsealed
Every morning, 6:00am sharp. You must wake up unless you want to start your day with cane. Then we all gather clumsily in the parlour to start singing praises... So annoying eh
But it shaa thought me how to wake up early and say my prayers on my own without being forced.
I still dread going home sometimes because of that.... I love my momma

So na so u take hate your creator? If it's Ur boyfriend now or husband you don't mind doing a special routine for him every morning you wake up.

When I was younger, like 11 or so, there was this age mate of mine in our neighbourhood that used to bully me a lot. Sometimes she'll threaten me not to come out and play with the other kids otherwise she'll beat me because I had offended her. I was outside with others one day and immediately I sighted her coming, I ran to the house. My mum asked whats up and I stupidly said 'Happiness wants to beat me'. It was cane my mother used to pursue me outside. When the girl saw me, she was suprised I had defied her and came to fight me. I mentally weighed the easier of the two: my mom's cane or happiness' blows. I fought back and because she didnt expect me to even fight back, I won easily. That ended the bullying forever and I started standing up for myself.
By the way, when I decided to use my new found strength to become the neighbourhood fight champion, na cane my mama use do factory reset.
Shout out to all mothers.

Classic Nigerian mum's. She was a wise woman.
The part she used cane to reset you made me give her thumbs up. You were becoming what she didn't envisage. Lol

Making me do everything a "Boy" should never do when growing Up:

*Cooking, even on special days!
*Plaiting her hair (and my wife was very surprised when l offered to plait her hair! grin )
*telling her stories from books l read (Who is the adult here?)
*Backing my junior ones (Do l look like a house-girl? )
*Washing plates and 'big" clothes (No washing machine in those days!)
*Siding with my Dad against me, on everything (Those two, ehn....) angry
*Making me return money l found on the floor, to wherever l found it (only for someone else to take it!)
*Insisting l must carry first all the time (na only me dey the class or what?)
*Not allowing me follow my passion of being a footballer (my play mates eventually made it to the national team and she regretted that sha)
*Making me do Sciences`, when l would have loved to do Art subjects (You must be Doctor, by force by fire!)
*Forcing me to pray at 6am in the morning, which is when l enjoy my sleep most!
*Pulling my Ears over minor issues; they get very hot and hurt so much angry

But what hate most about my Mum is creeping into my room at 3am in the midnight, with a cane in hand and tapping me awake to get flogged!
That is very harsh Mum..... l dont do it to my kids and they are still turning out great.
(Is it only my Mum that does this 'cos l've not seen anyone report the same thing)

But hey, she was a great Mum and l still `love her to bits.
The "values" she implanted in me back then, kept me going when the going was tough!
kiss kiss
Even if you put all the problems of Nigeria on my small head, even if l am penny-less, even if everything goes down, l will always remember Mum saying: You've got to be strong because only the strong can survive!
No dulling, No jumping into the Lagoon........ naah, No way!
you got a very funny mum

Whenever me or my siblings accompany her to anybody's home.
We dare not eat or drink whatever we are served, annoyingly those biscuits/drinks or whatever will have a nice aroma and inviting.
If the host ask us (the kids) whether we are hungry, we dare not say 'YES'.
My mother will only look at us with that pinching eye-look. And anyone who doesn't comply with her go chop serious beating when we reach house.


Today, it's part of us all. We hardly eat when on a brief visit to someone not too close/intimate.

Thank you mum, we thought you were just wicked, now we realise that you did well, you trained us properly.

Thank You Mum.

It was when I was in my teens that I discovered my mother actually has two children, I always thought we're ten.
Those times she used hot knife to stop me from stealing
Those times I would ran off home and she would ask me to no come back(only to see her searching for me or waiting at the gate)
I was so stubborn while growing up, I would fight and wound all my peers and seniors. She had to ban me from wearing trousers to stop people thinking I was male, I became the calm type through turning sticks and boarding house.
She thought me(us) to be the good entrepreneurs we are today.. You must help in her shop before and after school.
Thanks Mum for moulding me(she always pray I don't have kids that will have my kind of attitude while growing up),thanks for being my special angel. Without you, God knows I can't be what and where I am now! Hers calls and messages can frustrate you even if you only go to the market.
