"A mother’s arms are made of tenderness and children sleep soundly in them."

........................Victor Hugo

Perfect Example of what Most Nigerian Mums go through.. taking care of the family.

Different types of Nigerian Mums

1. Religious Mum:

Religious Mum can fast and pray 30days for her children.

Religious Mum will wake you up when the sleep is getting very sweet around 5am for Morning devotion. They would be the one to wake you up every Sunday to go prepare for church, you wouldn't want to say you are not going because that would definitely be a topic for the week. If anything dares worry you, it's prayer, that would be remedy even before going to the hospital.
Prayer would have to be the solution for every of your problems.

2. The Owanbe Mum:

The owanbe mums are the mum that get up to date of a party, naming ceremonies, weddings and any types of celebrations at all. They are always there even if it requires them to borrow money just to bee seen at an occasion, they will do it because they can't just afford not to be there. They would do whatever it may take just to attend the occasion at their presence. They don't mind starving the family, depriving their selves of their priorities just to be at a party because that where they find their happiness and making new friends too.

3. The What's-Up Mum:

This kind of mums are always up to date with what is in vogue, be it music, rumours, movies, gossip and what have you.
When it comes to fashion, they are always number one. They always know everything in trend, they know everything happening around them. There is nothing they don't know because they gossip a lot among their cliques.

4. The Strict Mother:

You dear not come home past 7pm, She talks to you with her eyes alone and you understand it.
She sees you with an opposite sex (boy or girl) by ready for some explanation.
In their dictionaries, there are no mistakes, impossibilities. Once you make a mistake, the next thing is punishment or beating the hell out of you. They correct a lot like they have never done any mistake their entire life before. They always have problems with their children everywhere, be it outside, at home, in school, in a gathering of occasions. They are the correcting factors of their child who who believes they are the perfect parent with no mistakes for you to his to hid them.

5. Intellectual Mum:

For this kind of mums, it would only do you good to know your book or studies. There would be no time for playing around like other children does. All they know and think of is "read your books, don't let me see you outside" OK! "oya go inside, carry your books and study" they are all after how to groom you know what K NJ on you are being thought in school which this type of mum are my favorite of all.

A shout out to all the great mums across the globe, especially African mums for their great effort just to see their child or children succeed in life by going out of their ways just to see their children happy. African mums mostly take the positions of being a "Dad & Mum" at the same time for one reason or the other beyond their control or happiness.

Happy Mother's Day to Every Mother in the World, Especially My Mum.
