With the reported cases of coronavirus slowly growing in Nigeria, people are becoming a lot more cautious. Unfortunately, a lot of out Nigerian parents are still not taking it seriously enough, and it is rightfully stressing us out.
1. When you first heard that older people are more at risk.
Hay God!
2. You, talking to your parents like they’re children:
See how the tables have turned.
3. You, begging them to just sit at home:
Pleaseeeeeeee.
4. When they send you another BC with fake news.
It’s time for you to delete WhatsApp.
5. When they call to tell you about a “cure for the virus”.
“Mummy, please, heat won’t do anything.”
6. When they refuse to take your warnings seriously.
Who is smiling with you?
7. When you see them carrying car key to leave the house.
Where do you think you’re going?
8. When you tell them not to go for any religious gatherings.
If you miss one Sunday you won’t die.
9. You, when they talk about God protecting them:
Great. Please, protect yourself too.
10. When you tell them not to have any visitors over.
If it’s important, they can call.
11. You, explaining social distancing to them:
You might as well be talking to a wall.
12. When they look at you like you’re being too dramatic.
See me see trouble.
13. You, after giving them yet another Coronavirus lecture:
I have tried, abeg.
