If you have Nigerian parents like mine, asking for money was most likely a grueling and almost terrifying task. You try to prepare and brace yourself ahead of time, but the where, when, why and how combo will always leave you stunned. Here’s a few of their excuses!
As you鈥檙e there shivering, they鈥檒l just be looking at you like鈥
You think I have money growing in the backyard?
Ah ahn, mummy. Only sometimes, now鈥
What happened to the money I just gave you?
When you鈥檙e hit with this question, confusion just sets in! Even if it has been three months since and they ask you, just pull out a pen and get ready to do some accounting. You鈥檝e entered it.
Eh ehn… With your grades?
鈥淚s it with D- in mathematics that you want to collect money? You can calculate money but not ordinary simple algebra??? My friend clear off!鈥
“When you’re always pressing phone.”
鈥淲hy won鈥檛 you need money when you are always pressing your phone?鈥 Everything bad in life is because of the phone they bought for you, anyway.
Haven’t you been eating in this house?
But when did I start paying for food nah??? Even when asking for your own money, you have to be careful if you want to keep eating. Issa scam.
What are you even using money for?
Na wah o鈥 Where do I even start?
Go and meet your mother/father.
Even when they聽know the other person isn鈥檛 around. Ugh!
Why didn’t you tell me since?
鈥淎nd I just finished spending all the money I had o. Sorry.鈥 Chei! But why?
Come and sell me/turn me to money.
Caution! Do not proceed!! Retreat!!!
I don’t have.
Cheee! This is the answer you meet at the final level. The painful boss. No chance to beg further, no progress, no explanation, just鈥 no. You cannot argue with this, even if you see them with tons of money. Just accept your fate and go away. Slap is real.
But last last sha, all is for home training and in good faith, because they struggle too. Shout out to our amazing folks!
