If you鈥檝e lived long enough with your parents, you鈥檝e seen more than enough pepper. This guide is your chance to return the favour. You鈥檒l probably fail but if you have coconut head, it won鈥檛 matter.
You can鈥檛
First things first, you need to understand that you just can鈥檛 win. They鈥檒l frustrate you till you tap-out in tears. But if you must win by all means, whatever you see, you just have to take it like that.
Give them the silent treatment
Nothing itches a Nigerian parent鈥檚 body like receiving silent treatment. They鈥檒l probably not talk to you too but they鈥檒l be dying inside.
Smile and play with everyone else but them
The silent treatment is not enough. You need to show them that you鈥檙e enjoying life without them because no one gets as jealous as a Nigerian parent.
Give them grandkids
Sometimes, these fights happen because they鈥檙e bored and need something to riff about. Help them refocus their energy by giving them grandkids so they can leave you alone.
