In doing that, many parents resort to very unconventional ways of keeping their daughters in line. It isn’t rare to hear a Nigerian mother say ‘who was that boy you were talking to outside, at your age I wasn’t talking to any boy’ .
All these just to mold her into a descent girl. Reminiscent of how most Nigerian girls were brought up.
Here, are various ways in which Nigerian parents pass serious warnings to their female child(ren) just to avoid them being around with boys at all times.....
1. Don’t listen to boys, they just want what’s between your legs
Nigerian mothers can swear to their daughters that all a boy wants from them, is to have a bite of the cookey. No Nigerian girl will ever pray for the day that her mother, father or older relatives bumps into her talking to a boy on a lonely street. In a young girl’s world, that is called, 'TRAGEDY'.
2. Don't move close to boys, else you will get pregnant
When a Nigerian mother say this to her daughter, she means it literally. The girl would only have to grow up to understand that getting close to a boy is...
not as literal as she was made to believe.
3. When the daughter has stomach upset and starts to throw up
This first question she would get from a very worried looking mother is ‘when was your last period?’ truth is, no matter how unwell, she (daughter) might be, she dare not stutter while answering the question.
4. If you sit with boys, just then you are get pregnant
A Nigerian mom could tell her daughter that sitting on a guy’s lap is how babies are made. Believe me, no Nigerian girl still under her parents prays to be pregnant out of wedlock.
If there is any other ones you've got, please share it........
