If you live in a Nigerian home, you know that certain things can get on your parents’ nerves. Sometimes, these things seem pretty harmless but you could get in trouble when you do them.
P.S: Do these things at your own risk. We will not be liable for any consequence oh
Wake Up Late
Don’t get up bright and early to do chores on a Saturday morning. Nope. Wake up at 11:00 am, stroll to the sitting room, say “Good morning, everyone” and count to ten under your breath. If at the count of ten, someone hasn’t said ‘What does the time say?’ or ‘Why are you just waking up?’, you’re probably not in a Naija home. 😂
Have Liberal Opinions (and Be Vocal About Them)
Whenever they give their conservative opinions on a subject, counter them with a liberal opinion and be bold about it. Don’t even hold back. 💀
Tell Them You Think School Is Overrated
Aha. They won’t see this one coming. Tell them that you think organised learning is unnecessary and that you’d rather pursue an unconventional career path or engage in vocational training. Boom.

Use A Weird Picture As Your WhatsApp profile picture
Maybe a quirky meme, a selfie of you throwing up a gang sign or a picture of a heavily tattooed celebrity. They’ll call you to say ‘Please change this DP’, ‘This DP is demonic’ or ‘What is the meaning of this DP?’
