A young man has shared a funny moment with his Nigerian mother, showing her dramatic reaction after he called her by her first name.
In the video, the young man pulls a playful prank on his mother, whom he describes as the funniest person. Walking behind her, he unexpectedly calls out her name, “Dayo,” which prompts her to quickly turn around in surprise.
The mother, startled, scolds him in Yoruba, asking if he had lost his senses for calling her by her name. Undeterred, the young man continues to joke around, leading his mother to firmly remind him of his place, stating, “I’m your mum, not your friend.”
The humorous interaction has since gone viral, with many viewers reacting to the video. One viewer, Oyebanji_Samuel, said: “I can never try this with my late mum. if I try it, I go collect and I go still de collect for like 6 months.”
