Whatever it is that you are, we doubt if you can escape the wahala of Nigerians who always want to say something to you. Today is February 29, a leap day that doesn’t occur often. Trust Nigerians to try to drag people born on this day. We made a list of the oddest things we have heard.

1. “Premature child.”

I’m actually more mature than you’ll ever be, but let’s not argue that.

2. “Uncompleted building.”

Ah. Are we even mates?

3. “Nawa o, so you celebrate your birthday every four years?”

Nawa o, so your sense activates every four years?

4. “What do you usually fill in official forms?”

Water and garri make eba for your wedding day.

5. “How do you feel about being born on February 29th?”

How do you feel about keeping your dirty mouth shut?

Fun fact: Did you know that Korede Bello was born on February 29? Bump his latest single here: “Sun Momi”
