A Nigerian man living abroad has gone viral after hilariously sharing the classic experience of African parents downplaying a party.
He revealed that his parents told him “just a few people” would be coming over, but it turned into a full-blown owambe with loud music, food for a whole community, and guests filling both living rooms.
“Mind you, the second living room was packed with all the wives,” he added in the clip, capturing the chaos.
Social media users flooded the comments with relatable takes on Nigerian parents and their not-so-small “small gatherings.”
