1, I trek far distance to school: No Nigeria parents house is close to school.

2, We only eat meat on Christmas or Sallah day: It still baffles me that during their time Nigeria was still very productive in agriculture. Where all the livestock meat dey go then?

3, I always come first in class: No parent dey come second.

4, I always listen to my parents and was never stubborn: issokay continue dey lie dere..

Add yours..

Those men Na lions for lies

I don't know about all Nigerian parents.....but most of them actually went through these stuffs in the past....or they say these things to make you work hard...so it's for your good

I won't actually call them lies.

Its a sweet lie to instill discipline.

Imagine if u dnt do that and ur kids want to be eating meat every time.

Or ur kids asking u to buy them cars to go to school at secondary school level

Or ur kids getting satisfied with getting 30th outta 35 students in class.

Some of those things ginger some of us those days. Disciple-wise, our parents were proud that the sweet lies worked.

Even now, op don lie for plenty people already

My mum tho

That woman was extra-ordinary when it's concern inspiring or disciplining you ..

She would be saying ""You Know your mum wouldn't do her darling any harm, just tell me the truth, are you the one that touch the pot? just tell me the truth I wont beat you""

After revelation cum repentance, the beatings ehnnn
you'll be wandering which part of your body is missing

Rest on Mum, Love you!!!

Did u read what I wrote here? I said about that first own I don't know, the truth is that those days,there wasn't alot of schools around, so depends on where them they that time, some are close to school and some are far, my primary school and secondary schools was very from my house, the first day my mum escorts me to school when I was in secondary school she cried that very day.

Thank you jara, I am suprise they are arguing about it shall

Op , do you know about white lies. It keeps you from destruction. It's a necessary evil. Just for discipline by our parents.

Number 3.

If an average Nigerian parent actually told lies, I wonder the kind of lies Lai Mohammed would have told his children.

May be yours lied, but mine actually did. The distance my grandmother will then I wouldn't dare half of.
Going to farm as early as 4am and returning back 6 or 7pm...
Those guys don't lie
