15 CHILDHOOD DISAPPOINTMENTS ONLY NIGERIANS CAN UNDERSTAND





1. When you remember your mother telling you “beans will make you tall” but you’re still the size of bedside fridge.


Chai! All that beans I ate.



2. When your father told you to go and wear your shoes to follow him out and then drove off.


The pain is still fresh.





  3. When you asked your parents for Game Boy and they got you:


ARE THEY THE SAME?




  4. When your primary school told you they were bringing Barney and Father Christmas for the end-of-the-year party and brought:


Who are these ones?


5.

  When you finally came first and reminded your father that he promised to buy you something.

Ah! Is it like that?


6.

  When you ask your mother for all the money she has been “helping” you save.

“Have you not been eating in my house?”


7.

  When your mother told you that you’d see your agemates at the Owambe but you only see adults and toddlers.
