Today is a good day for a throwback. In our usual fashion, we would be taking a look at Nigerian parents and the special superpowers they possess. We don’t know how they do it, but they just prove to be wiser than children/wards with these superpowers:
1. Super hearing
As a child, did you ever wonder how your parents could hear what you muttered after they finished scolding you?
2. Lie detector
This is when they can see through you when you are lying about an answer to their question.
3. Super smell
They can tell when you went out drinking with your friends. The smell of alcohol is unmistaken by Nigerian parents.
4. Telepathy
When they use their eyes to communicate to you in public without saying a word, just know there is more waiting for you in private.
5. Super bargaining
Nigerian parents know how to beat the prices of items. Just follow them to the market and you will be amazed at their super bargaining power.
6. Seeing into the future
Nigerian parents can punish you for a crime you are yet to commit. They anticipate you will do it and discipline you before then.
7. Fire resistance
We give it up for Nigerian mothers who can remove a hot pot from the fire with their bare hands. That is something most of us will use napkins to do.
8. Super sarcasm
This is a common trait. Before you ask a Nigerian parent a question, you have to be sure that it is a wise question unless be prepared for the most sarcastic response e.g. Where should I put the load? The response would be: ” On my head” and you would be staring confused.
