Sleeping by 9pm.Once it is 9 O'clock news time, u r rising up meanwhile all the soap opera that others will discuss at school comes after 9pm.Rosa,Maria de Rose Angelo's...

Na Saturdays o!
Mama go go market then cook with so many pots and plates,, to wash does things go become almighty �

Growing up as child was terrible for me, I never had the privilege to live with my parents. Everybody I live with took advantage of that, i almost turn maid in every household I lived.

Ironing my dad's agbada.

Cooking for our dogs
If I remember correctly I've taken care of 15 German shepherds my dad was the owner and the only one who likes dogs in our house my brothers don't give 2 fvcks if they eat or not.....and my pman is never around when he gets back home the first thing he asks is whether his dogs have eaten if u say NO you are a dead alive already...he would ask u how many times have you eaten? If you like say u have not eaten he would tell you that's your business
The useless creatures sef I don't know how they recognise me even in the dark they'll start making that their funny sound... they'll be like bros you never give us food today o I go just weak if I hear the sound go arrange something for them.
I hated that thing but that has been my life summary for over 17yrs.

None but i enjoyed laughing my heart out seeing my siblings communicating with sign languages or turning deaf and dumb just because Dad said no more speaking of English whenever he is around.
Its either our Esan dialect or you don't talk at all, me on the other hand could speak and also understand when spoken to...It was annoying to my siblings.

Timoleon:
Actually she didn’t know. She was having sleep troubles back then and would walk around the house to while away time. She most likely came to your room and the living room even when you were sleeping.

Well, I think she generally had a routine of waking up at night to pray and do the anointing thing.

But even after she's done that, if you wake up to go watch TV, she'll come out.

When I eventually got a phone and would watch stuff on my phone with the ear piece, she wouldn't come out.

It was always the sounds.

For studying, maybe flipping pages or reciting things we were trying to memorise, or all those bodily and chair and table adjustments. I don't know, though.

But nahh, she never had sleep challenges.

Ironing my dad's agbada.

You just reminded me, washing my mom's cloth and ironing them. What a slave drive!

Faber:
Again..

U see this idiotic object below...to wash it's gloves na real challenge for me.

"Go wash lantern gloves and light it, it's getting dark"
I go first do as if I no hear am. Mom go reiterate, "Faber am talking to you"

If you try break the gloves, ur own don be. Every good thing you don do for the week will be forgotten, you will be whipped blue black. Extra bonus for ur pains be say the lattern gloves go wound you join

That's why I call it idiotic object. E dey wound person wey come help am dey clean. Thank God it's extinct now.

That lantern that yr, although my mum own still dey work till now, especially when my mum tell me to change the rope, i don break that glass tire, there are rules in washing the glass, you don't put all ur fingers inside, it will break, u don't hold the edges so tight, it will break, u use 2 fingers both right and left hands to hold it and clean it

Rules i hated
1. Be at the parlour by 9pm to watch NTA news cos my mum will ask questions during adverts and after news.
2. Eating before 7pm, i hated this rules cos before 9pm,hunger go dey sing song.
3. Don't misplace your mineral covers or chewing sticks cos na beating you go receive during primary skol days
4. No misplace big pen nor its cover, you go chop beating
5. Boys aren't meant to be in the kitchen except washing of plates
6. Don't break anything break able especially lantern glove, just prepare to receive serious beating
