Five Things (Asides From An Alarm Clock) That Will Wake You Up In A Nigerian Home

Sure, alarm clocks can be pretty effective in helping you wake up. However, there are other unconventional things you can trust to do the job, as well.

Check them out below:

The Sound of Generators

If there’s one thing—asides from a nightmare—that can shake you out of a peaceful nap, it’s the sound of a generator. It will make you wake up with a loud hiss, sulking and angry. The whirring sounds are simply too annoying but unfortunately, we’ve become too used to them.

The Siren

This is another sound that will wake you up—unless you’re a deep sleeper—because contrary to generators, sirens are usually an indicator of light. So, when you hear it, you jump out of your bed to charge your phone and other devices because you do not know how long the light will last. True or false? 😂

The Smell of Food

Have you been woken up by the smell of delicious food coming from the kitchen? Whether it’s steaming hot akara, edikang-ikong, ofada rice & plantain or yam porridge, good food can get you out of your bed with one whiff.
