Like with all human interaction, mistakes are bound to happen. Regardless of it being intentional or unintentional, human beings can hurt or boost our feelings with their words. And our mothers are not exempted from this. I mean, they are human beings too!
In this episode of Afrogist, we had 17 people share the best and worst things their mothers ever said/did to them.
Enjoy!
‘You will be found among kings and not mean men.’
Keniel (F)
Benin, Nigeria
‘She told me that she’s disappointed in me because I didn’t want to date (marry) her friend’s son who is ugly and short by the way. It hurt so bad but I had to put myself first. It’s marriage, not nursery school.’
Chico baby(F)
Edo
‘Beat me up and tore my skirt.’
Babe(F)
Benin City, Nigeria
‘One time, I was really confused and sad. I honestly just wanted to die but anytime she asked me what’s wrong, I’ll say I’m fine. One day, this woman just came to hug me really tight for like a minute or two and told me all will be well. Somehow, all my fears went away. I just knew, even if all won’t be well, I’ll have my mother to help me through.’
Freya(F)
Nigeria
‘The best thing she said was that she has no regrets having us as her kids 😥❤️’
E choke(M)
Edo, Nigeria
‘Ó wa efẹ́ mé
I urgently needed money for a school need and my mother was having just a bit above the exact amount I needed. She was really broke then. But she gave me all the money she had on her. I refused. But she said “Take it. Ó wa efẹ́ mé (You people are my wealth)’. Hard girl, Hard girl, I broke down and cried. Lol.’
Ruona(F)
‘My mother stood there ironing clothes 30 minutes after I was caught watching porn. As she ironed her clothes, she shook her head and said “This girl will not go far in life.”
Elma(F)
Lagos
‘My mum straight up told me once when we were fighting, ‘I’ve lived my life and gone. If I advise you, it’s for your own good because I want your life to be better than mine.’ Lol…I was still angry o, but somehow I felt guilty.’
Benny(F)
Lagos
”Sometimes I wish I was not your mother.’ I entered into depression for a week straight. 😭😭’
Mandy22(F)
Abuja
‘Can’t forget the day my mother beat me for refusing to close my legs properly in church. According to her, I was trying to seduce the pastor. It wasn’t my fault, I had thick thighs.’
Bridget(F)
Lokoja
‘The day I told my mom I was pregnant and she didn’t judge me. Loved her so much after that.’
Ola(F)
Minna
‘It was two years ago and I applied for a very big job. I passed through so many stages and I got to the final stage. But in the end, I didn’t get it. I was so pained, I cried and everybody kept asking if I got the job but I was too sad to tell anyone I didn’t. Until one day my Mum asked me and I broke down. I cried in her arms and then she cleaned my tears and told me “My baby, don’t worry, when your time comes, nothing will stop you and it will come.”‘
That meant the world to me.
ODI(F)

‘Forever grateful to my mom for striving so hard to make sure we kids turned out well.’
James(M)
Ibadan
”I don’t blame you.’ My mother said ‘a mother is like a dumping refuse. You can say and do whatever you want to it coz you know it’ll always be there for you.’ Lol…there’s nothing that can quench my anger at her more than these words 😄
My fragile heart started feeling guilty and shit😫
Sexy F$👽(F)

‘My mom decided to tell me about her life and mistakes as a young girl. Super brave of her and something I will definitely emulate when I have my own daughters.’
