To a Nigerian parent, failing = coming anything but first.
1. “Your mates that passed, do they have ten heads?”
Na wa oh!2. “How will you pass when you keep following lazy people. Better change your friends and change your destiny!”
Just small failure.3. “Shebi if you’ll stop following girls/following boys/playing football/living/breathing, you’ll have time to pass.”
Kuku kill me.4. “Can’t you see so-so-so-and-so’s child?”
Okay…5. “When you won’t stop pressing your phone.”
Oya take the phone now.6. When you ask for anything at all. “this is where they will see you; if it’s to pass exam now, you can’t pass.”
Are you giving me or not?7. “You want to bring shame to the family?”
When you’re all now looking at me nko?8. “You think you’re doing us? Keep failing.”
Thanks?
