Nigerian parents have proven to be the same everywhere. Do you want to win their hearts? Follow our list to become their favourite child. If you don鈥檛 think your parents have favourites, well, you need this article more than you think.
Call them regularly
You already knew this 鈥 constant communication with someone makes them more fond of you, talk more of Nigerian parents that love gist. Whether it鈥檚 gist about a relative, gossip about church people or an annoying co-worker, they’re there for it.
Send them pictures
Forget all the love languages you think you know, this is what your Nigerian parents want 鈥 especially if you don鈥檛 see them often. Send them pictures of your day, of you with your friends, at work, in church, everything.
Even though they鈥檒l always see something wrong, like your hair, dress, makeup or bikini, they鈥檙e lowkey excited. You鈥檒l be giving them pictures to update with a 鈥渕y priceless jewel鈥 caption on their Wuzzsup.
Stop pressing your phone
They鈥檝e made it very clear that they hate the sight of you pressing your phone, imagine how happy they鈥檒l be when you actually decide to stop.
We鈥檙e not saying it鈥檒l be easy but love is sacrifice, right?
Introduce them to your friends
Remember when you were younger and your parents kept complaining about you always going over to your friends instead of them visiting you? Well, turns out Nigerian parents don鈥檛 like to feel left out; they actually want to meet your friends and infiltrate your circle.
Give them grandkids
From what we hear, Nigerian parents become softer when they have grandkids, so having a baby is your opening to steal their love and affection.

Become a doctor
One thing parents love more than grandkids is having a child they can brag about. Adding听鈥淒octor鈥 to your name will make your parents love you even more. I mean, who doesn鈥檛 want to be a 鈥淢ama/Papa Doctor鈥?听
Be the first or last born
We don鈥檛 understand why this works, but it does. If you鈥檙e already a middle child, *tears* wake up and claim a different position. If they ask you, just say you鈥檙e born again and that鈥檒l be the end of that conversation.听
Follow them on social media
You may not know it, but your parents see your follow-back on social media as a stamp of validation. It means you rate them and it shows. Before you know it, you鈥檙e bonding over funny memes and the latest trends. I don鈥檛 see how you鈥檒l not be their fave after that.
