When your Nigerian mum says “Let’s go to the store or market” we know how that feels and the reactions that follow. Here are a few ways you can survive a shopping trip with your mum.
1. Be prepared! Brace yourself!
Because it’s about to be a tough long experience.

Water, toiletries, snacks, a sleeping bag also.

Who knows you may get lucky.

6. Prepare to be disappointed.
Because you will most likely not get anything you want.
7. Be ready to agree to every and anything.
Because nobody wants any problems.

That is if you are allowed to get anything.

10. Get your patience levels to 110%.
