5 Things Every Nigerian Swore They Wouldn't Do As A Child | Zikoko!

Remember watching Nollywood movies, seeing a smoker and going “God please I never want to be that person”. How’s that working out for you now? Let’s remind you of some of the other things you promised you would never do.

1. Drinking

If they ever mentioned you and alcohol in the same sentence you would probably start begin to shake and snap your fingers over your head, saying “I reject it”. Now look at you. Drunkard.

2. Doing drugs

After watching Nollywood movies, everyone who smoked or did drugs was definitely a murderer or a cultist. If someone started smoking around you as a kid you would just assume they were armed robbers getting high, and ready to attack someone at night. Now look at you. Chimney.

3. Fornicating

How could people even think about sex, talk less of having it. SEX!! S*X!! Eww. Now look at you. Of lay lay lay (of Lagos)

4. Clubbing

Everyone that went to the club was the devil, whether they knew it or not. How can you gather and begin to smoke, drink and dance to the devil’s music? Now, look at you. LMFAO

5. Scamming your parents

Did you ever think you would tell your dad that you needed 12k for a textbook? Neither did I. But look at you. Hushpuppi.
