âHow to Know Youâre in a Nigerian Homeâđ
Step into any Nigerian home and youâll instantly know. Not by the smell of jollof rice (though thatâs a bonus), but by these signs:đ€
1. The Remote Control Has One Job:
Itâs wrapped in nylon like itâs going to Harvard. Donât touch it with wet hands unless you want to see your full ancestry.đ€
2. The Nylon on the Sofa is Permanent:
You think youâre allowed to sleep comfortably? Wrong. That nylon cover has been there since 1999 and will outlive all of us.
3. The Wall Clock That Doesnât WorkâBut Must Stay:
Itâs stuck at 3:47, but you donât dare remove it. âItâs part of the decor,â mummy says. Decor of what? Ancient history?đ
4. The Fridge is a No-Go Zone:
You open the fridge looking for yogurt. You see soup from December, meat marked âDo not touch,â and a bottle of holy water. You quietly close it.đđ
5. Power Comes and Everyone Screams âUP NEPA!â
Even the dog joins in. If NEPA had a theme song, the whole street would sing it.
6. Thereâs a Bag of Bags:
You ask for a nylon bag. They bring out The Bag of Bags. No one knows where it came from. It simply⊠isđ©.
In a Nigerian home, everything has a purposeâeven if that purpose is a mystery. And donât forget:
If mummy says âIâll just be 5 minutesââcancel your plansđđ.
Which one is the realest??đđđ
