Girlfriend Sits While Boyfriend's Mum Sweeps - Nigerians React by unclesoyo: 11:05am On May 29, 2019
Twitter is currently buzzing as a story of a Nigerian girlfriend that sat while her boyfriend’s mum swept the room was shared on the platform.

A user on the platform Lord Fuad wrote that a man brought home his girlfriend to meet his mother and while he left her in the sitting room, his mother started sweeping but his girl did not assist her.

“This guy took his gf to his house. He left her in the parlour, went to the room. His mum was sweeping the floor, got to the girl’s place, she lifted her leg so the mum could sweep underneath.Was she right to do that?”

The move obviously was a test for the lady from the boyfriend’s mum, which according to the woman, must have been a bad 1st impression on the side of the girlfriend.

Nigerians however share mixed feelings over the issue and they didn’t hesitate to pour out their minds in the comment section.

See some comments we were able to gather:
A man identifid as Sean Johnson wrote:

All these girls can make mouth for Africa. Find the guy that fit your style and if you are helping the mum sweet, it won’t kill your self esteem in anyway. Have learnt on SM that those who say they can do this are actually the ones who do it

Melinda however said she would not sweep as well as the test was just a stupid one:

All this tests that mothers give girlfriends are stupid. The person that wants to marry me should know if it’s the 1st time I’m meeting the mother & she does this I won’t sweep. I’ll probably fake a call from my mum that I have to take outside and From there to my house

Dr. Chiemeziem shared his thought too:

She’s a visitor to that house for all I care, visitors deserve to be pampared.

Ebere said she would sweep and gave her reason:

I’ll take the broom and sweep not bc I’m obligated to but because I just think its courtesy one then because I’m even happy to be visiting and I don’t want to see myself as a visitor more than I should. Whether they’re testing their ancestors or not, mine is to be happy

In our culture it means you are not wanted in the home:

In my culture if someone starts sweeping, it means they don’t really want you in their house or at the least want you to leave. So I would be insulted, leave and never return.

What do you expect when we have dis-cultured ourselves and pretend to live alien lifestyles? It is on this part of the world that education has enpowered people to become nuisance to their society. No more courtesy, no more descipline, no more morals. It is well.

Haa!! You are a very funny man.
She even lifted her legs and you are complaining? I will wait for her to lift my legs for me and then, when she's done sweeping the portion, she should bring it down too.

I'm meant to be pampered and petted as I'm gonna be the one to choose if I'm marrying their son or not, and also gonna be the one that's gonna choose if the family is hardworking and compatible enough for my liking.

Well before you start smashing your keyboard about her lacking morals or courtesy, when was the last time you gave up your seat for an elderly person or help that blind man cross the street or carry a pregnant woman's load?

To begin with, it only shows lack of courtesy and respect to start sweeping when you've got a guest in your house.

So she did the right thing. After all, she was there as a guest, and not for a domestic help interview or anything.

Test ko test ni,so if the girl collects the broom,she is a wife material? Based on what her ability to sweep,is that the basics for marriage, All these so called tests sef,i never heard of multi-millionaires doing such, its always the struggling ones.Who even sweeps when guests are around sef?its rude and shows the guests he or she aint wanted, if the girl is a regular at the house ,fine thats different but a first-time visitor haba sef?
All these guys on this thread, if u go to your gf house and the father starts to wash his car in ur presence will u join him to wash the car?I don't get the act of degrading or putting some tru certain tests cos he or she wants to marry your child. That why many people pretend tru out courtship to put up with their potential in-laws unnecessary tests, and unleash their true colours in marriage .

How can you judge her by this simple act?

So if she did indeed sweep, that automatically makes her a good and respectful person? You are very myopic.

So what do you have to say about people who bash their head or kneel down and pray to God but only to take up arms and kill or rape altar boys? — All I am saying dear is people can pretend or even act holy to earn your trust as long as you are watching but behind your back, they are vile creatures. That lady was just being herself.

Daalụ nke ukwuu

In my part of the world (likely just in my home, and note, I have Google translate!), you would even be insulting the visitor by slyly informing them they are unwelcome! And if I be man, I will tell my mother off!

Funny though. My ma would call her first born son to come and cook amala and ẹfọ riro for the in-laws when they come to ask for her daughters' hands in marriage just so she can say to her future son-in-law and family, "I hope you enjoyed the food that my first born and elder brother of my daughter you want to marry cooked. My daughter is not going to be a slave in your house, so keep your dowry"!

She fortunately has 4 daughters, all married.

That's goading at its peak. Well, only a feeble-minded or pretentious lady will submit to her (the man's mother) action and shenanigans. . . no sane person treats a short-term visitor (guest) like a long-term one. She should avoid having anything serious to do with such family of small-minded people.

The lady acted conscientiously.

Nigerians and tradition will kill them. Stupid people. Why can’t the son take the broom from his mother? Is his hand disabled? All these stupid rules and regulations to judge someone’s character, you never jam one babe that will form house-girl just to impress the family, but the heart is black. I just honestly think it’s not that deep, seriously, and it’s not enough to break up with her.
