A UK-based Nigerian lady shares a hilarious video showcasing the lengths her African parents went to when she requested privacy to attend an online work meeting.
According to the lady, she had a virtual meeting and needed to concentrate, which required absolute decorum.
She asked for privacy from her parents, who immediately respected her space, dramatically moving all their working gadgets and food to the bathroom.
Her dad carried a chair he could use to work diligently on his laptop during the virtual meeting of their daughter while her mom sat on the toilet seat nonchalantly with her laptop, enjoying her meal beside the air freshener.
The comedic moment peaked when the lady announced her virtual meeting was over and her parents could now return to the living room.
However, her parents refused, her mom still holding her plate along with her dad chose to remain there till their self-imposed hours were completed.
The scene had social media users in stitches, with many finding her situation relatable. They confirmed that it was a struggle finding a quiet space when working from home, especially in a typical African household.
The video resonated with many, especially those from African households who appreciate the blend of respect, comedy, and chaos that often defined such households.
