c. Parents fan club
You know Nigerians never miss out on an opportunity to dress up in aso-ebi, bring all their friends, colleagues and family members to big occasions. Don’t be surprised if you see extended family members you haven’t seen in ages on that day coming to eat and celebrate. Just nod and smile, y’all. Nod and smile.

f. The long, boring speeches.
Graduation ceremonies are incomplete without those speeches “TBH”. If you think you heard enough during your 4-5 years, trust us, you haven’t. These speeches often seem to take forever- especially when you just want to throw your graduation caps in the air, take pictures and eat. You’ll catch some of your friends and course mates sleeping.
It’s advisable to listen to the speeches though, they can be truly inspiring.
