Nigerian parents think phone repair is cheaper than buying new. See wetin my mama do.

My mother called me yesterday. She said her phone don spoil, the screen just go black. I told her, Mama, let me just buy you a new one. You don use that Tecno since 2019.

She said no. She said she knows a man for Ariaria wey go fix am for #2,500. I told her the screen alone na #18,000. She said the man go do magic. My own mother believe say electronics get miracle workers wey dey work for less than the price of a plate of food.

She went. The man opened the phone, shook his head like a pastor seeing a stubborn case, and told her the motherboard don die. She still paid him #2,000 for 'diagnosis'. Now she's asking me to lend her money for a new phone. I should have just bought the phone from the start. But no, na Nigerian parent. They will spend #5,000 to save #500, then come back to you for the real money. God is involved, but the math is not.
