A Nigerian lady has stated that she won’t take the broom from her boyfriend’s mother if she visits family for the first time and they start cleaning.
She made this claim on a podcast while stating that the woman’s intentions is what matters to her.
She said it was customary that if a man was introducing his partner to his mother, they would have cleaned the house before she arrived.
The young woman stated that because she is only a girlfriend, no one should be placed in such a situation.
She asserted that while she would be understanding if his mother began sweeping before they entered the house, she would never take over the task if it began after they had arrived.
The other women on the programme disagreed with her and argued that taking the woman’s broom and finishing the task regardless of the situation is a sign of respect and good upbringing.
