Imagine telling your Nigerian parents you don’t want kids

Someone did and got called a “Jezebel”. [View in browser](=.BqstIc8Kpo9laaJoIGHJti72c0-E4qkkJwpHZvqlJic) [Zikoko Daily] 15 June, 2023 Hey . It’s so easy to stress Nigerian parents. Just dye your hair green and stay in your room all day. For pizzazz, tell them you don’t want kids and watch fire rain down from the skies. We spoke to some people who did, and their parents’ reactions were priceless. PS: I shared expo from a recruiter, on how to make sure a job interview never catches you off-guard again, below. I accept love letters as gratitude. ✨ Tife Editor In This Letter: - 1 [These Nigerians talk about their parent’s reaction to them not wanting kids](=.DmESLSfYJxMSOAGJOgiI7RMRiFF7udtnNloZnhp-D-o) - 2 [How to finesse a job interview, according to a recruiter](=.lMKlmhjSKnjMV7MJc3iu0eAUHNuuO1gDboB8SDJl4EI) - 3 [From Peru to Ku Lo Sa: Wande Coal walked so these 7 artistes could run](=.Q3Y_-viI7jnCEksofN6H2MEi2mpwOcJ8UllgCwvbzIs) =.jc-KGm0TA1lQwWUSe_PGveVa7Z9jrSpFJePGtIv9gBU Have you filled this [survey form](=.fuzCKJo9Ysd9IhbrRw-ONgdBmiJmNfKecOi78vOROYQ) yet?

Tell me, how does someone even marry small small? LOL. You pay in instalments. The man did the best his small estate keeper salary could carry for the wedding rites per time while carrying on with the actual marriage activities on the side. 😉 DFKM. I’m glad they still completed it even though the family technically couldn't come and carry her back. Right? I think it’s so sweet that they did. Many Nigerians just forget about it once some years have passed. Now, I wish I’d asked them how the white wedding went. You know, raising money, preparing and definitely their family and friends’ reactions to their wedding announcement after 11 years. Must’ve been a whole lot of “But why?” questions. I like how traditional they are, though. Uduak seems to take great pleasure in caring for him, even when they were dating. Something about JJ [the husband] gave me something to think about. How outrightly conservative (read as slightly misogynistic) he is, yet still taking full responsibility for what he thinks is his role as a man while being appreciative and respectful of her contribution to what he thinks is her role as a woman. He really doesn’t want her to stress at all and goes out of his way to give her what she likes/wants.
