I know we are used to Nigerian mothers serving face, but I think Nigerian fathers are underrated. I mean, these men talk in faces!!
1. When you try to remind him about the money he promised you.
2. Or when you randomly ask him for anything.
3. When you say something incredibly stupid.
4. When you offend your mom, and he has to discipline you…
5. When you deliberately go against his advice and you get this familiar face.
6. When your teacher is reporting you to him.
7. When he’s trying to let you know that your beatdown is coming.
8. When he’s watching the news or football and you change the channel.
9. When you embarrass him in front of his friends.
10. When you’ve done anything to ‘disgrace the family name’ and he hands you over to your mom.
11. When you personally let him down.
You feel so crushed.
12. When he’s explaining the relationship between you and your phone.
13. When you tell him you’re going out of the house.
14. When you come back home late and he’s waiting like…
15. When you people are forcing him to watch Telemundo or Nollywood.
16. When you come home with 1.4 CGPA and still ask for a new phone.
17. When you serve him food without water.
18. When you start explaining the technicalities of your course to him.
19. When your father finds your Twitter page, and he cannot believe this is his child.
20. When you ask your dad if he’s proud of you.
21. When your dad is punishing you sibling and you start laughing.
But sometimes, sometimes, your dad can turn up with the best of them.
