You think your mum and dad sending you fake news BCs about poisonous apples stresses you out. Imagine getting a dozen of those BCs and more from different aunts, uncles, and cousins every single day. If you have a typical Nigerian family, then we can better that these are the members of your family Whatsapp group.
The cousin that always has something good going on in his life. If they are not promoting him at work, they are giving him scholarship for his Phd.

The Uncle that is in the overseas and makes sure nobody on the group chat forgets.
He’s always sending pictures in winter coat and replying messages with ‘innit’ and ‘ya man’.
Your spiritual Aunty that’s always sending prayer BCs and videos of people who went to hell and came back.
There’s no day you don’t wake up to messages telling you to ‘repent for the kingdom of God is at hand’.
There’s the Aunty that’s always asking for you as if you are owing her money.
Everyday everyday where is Sikemi, does she want you to be marking attendance in the morning?

The cousin who keeps leaving the group chat by ‘mistake’ and the Uncle who keeps adding him back.
Where do you think you are going?
That sweet Aunty who always remembers every single member’s birthdays, anniversaries etc.
Who needs Facebook when you have her?
The cousin who is younger than you and is always saying nonsense on the group just because he’s in the overseas.
He’s the one that told your Aunty to please stop sending BCs. You don’t have respect abi?
The Uncle who is always upset and only comes to the group chat to report other family members.
No day goes by without someone in the group offending him. The last time it was because they didn’t reply the BC he sent.
