These are the signs that shit is about to go down.
1. When your mother calls your full name.
Oh Lord!
2. When your mum would normally speak English but she switches to your local language.
Local language. Local violence.
3. When your father greets you welcome with a glowing smile.
4. When your father just got back from work and he starts looking for his belt.
5. When your teacher is complaining about your unseriousness but your mum is just doing the Jega.
When we get home, we shall see.
6. When your mother goes to bed early after you’ve offended her.
See you in the midnight when I come to wake you up with belt.
7. When they start to ask you impossible questions.
Did you chop shit?
8. When your mother is shouting at you and she starts breathing heavily.
Go and bring my cane.
9. When you and your mum are joking and she just smiles at you and says “You’ve grown wings abi?”
10. In the middle of Afmag Yoruba, she suddenly mutes the TV and looks at you like this
Oya, tell me what you did. I’m listening.
11. When your parents are arguing and you suddenly hear them screaming your name.
When the elephants fight.
12. When your mother used her last money to cook soup and the morning after, it is already sour.
Mummy its nor me.
13. When your dad says “Tell me the truth, I won’t beat you.”
Say the truth and it shall phyuk you up.
