PAST
PARENTS: Come, here. What do you kids think you are doing? Don't you know that today is our Nigeria independence day celebration?
Common you kids should go and take your bath and put on those green and white colours dresses that were bought for you last week. Then come and have your rice and chicken. Then those who will go to the stadium for March past should go and those who will go to visit their friends can also go.
PRESENT
PARENTS: Come here, you numskulls! What do you kids think you are doing?
KIDS: Mum and Dad. We are putting on our white and green colours dresses because today is independence day. We are waiting for our friends so that we can go to the stadium together.
PARENTS: Look, before we open our eyes you numskulls should quickly remove those green colours dresses and put on the black clothes that you used for your grandfather's burial ceremony and thereafter you soak the little garri with salt and eat then go and sleep. Nonsense!
