12 Ways A Nigerian Mother Reacts When You Are Not Ready For Marriage

Nigerian mothers are drama queens. I sometimes wonder why some of them are not Nollywood actress. One little thing, boom, she will start acting as if she wants to die. I thought it was only my mom that’s dramatic until I saw Ada Bekee’s Recent thread.
According to her, every mother has a way of reacting when you tell them you aren’t ready for marriage.
Even though some of these reactions are funny, it’s what an average Nigerian faces from his mother.
Here are Nigerian Mother’s reactions when you are not ready for marriage According to Ada Bekee
#1. The Ones Who Won’t React or Show Any
Emotion
These mothers understand you better than any other
person. They know you are just doing initial ‘gra gra’.
After all, when you were young you swore never to
eat chicken again after watching your grandpa killed
one. Now, your favorite food is grilled chicken and
vegetable salad. Nkogheri… That’s what it is. Period.
#2. The Ones Who Immediately Becomes
Suspicious
When you tell these Nigerian moms that you aren’t
getting married anytime soon, they become
suspicious. They will be like, why would a young,
handsome, successful, able-bodied man doesn’t want
to get married?
She’ll be like, “Bia nwokem, talk to me… Are you
gay? Are you in a cult? Are you impotent? What’s the
meaning of this madness? Talk to me, I’m your
mother.”
#3. The Ones Who Will Take Matters Into Their
Own Hands
These Nigerian mothers would always take matters
into their own hands. They don’t have time to waste,
all they need is a grandchild. So, they don’t have time
for a long talk, they will just go and get you a wife
with or without your consent. When your madness
fades away, your wife would be waiting for you.
These mothers don’t take nonsense, either you marry
willing or they marry for you.
#4. The Ones Who Would Start Insulting You
These ones are like Patience Ozokwor of Nollywood.
She will be like, “Kitikpa racha gi anya there!” “You
will not marry na gini me?” “Odika isi gi mebiri
emebi, okwa ya?” If care is not taken, she’ll give you
one slap to reset your senses or stone you with her
slippers.
#5. The Ones Who Would Immediately Invite
Pastors To Pray For You
These ones believe that the devil is at work. And
whatever is responsible for this demonic declaration
would have to be handled through intense
deliverance.
#6. The Ones Who Want To Carry Your
Grandchildren
These ones are more interested in having
grandchildren. So, they would first seek clarification
before knowing how best to proceed. She’ll be like,
“you say you will not marry? Ngwanu help me
understand first… Children Nko? How are you going
to do it? Because I must carry my grandchildren!
#7. The Ones Who Would Start To Recall Your
History
They will start telling you your history right from the
night you were conceived. They will be like “Don’t
you know your pregnancy nearly killed me? After
carrying you in my womb for 9 months, 2 weeks and
days, you have the audacity to tell me you will not
marry?”
#8. The Ones Who Will Grab A Knife And Rush Out
These ones are the funniest of them all. Once you tell
them you aren’t getting married soon, they would
grab a knife, rush out, and wail to everybody that’s
willing to hear.
She’ll be like, “Mama Donald! Come and hear wetin
this my pikin dey talk! E say him no go marry until
him die! Nor be craze dey worry am ” Then she’ll
proceed to act like she wants to kill herself so they
would hold her…
#9. The Ones Who Would Burst Into Prayers
Immediately
These ones will reject your claim not to marry
anytime soon and start sending fire to all their
enemies. To them, this is the handiwork of the devil
and God must punish all of them.
#10. The Ones Who Will Start Laughing Scornfully
These ones won’t say much rather than laughing
scornfully. After laughing hard until tears come out of
her eyes, she’ll be like, “Kai! you are very funny! I
didn’t know you were such a comedian.
#11. The Ones Who Will Start Crying Like Someone
Died
These Nigerian Mothers will break into tears once you
tell them you aren’t ready for marriage. As far as
they are concerned, their enemies have finally
succeeded.
#12. The Ones Who Will Check If You Are Running
Temperature
These ones will always check if you are running
temperature. Because for you to spit out such
gibberish, you must be having a fever.
