    14 Reasons Why African Parents Should Be Banned From Using WhatsApp

    I think you would all agree with me that, what started off as an innocent way to communicate and pass time has now turned into a serious epidemic! African parents have taken over WhatsApp and at this point, cannot be stopped. Here are 14 reasons why African Parents Should Be Banned From Using WhatsApp!

    1. The "Funny" Videos

    Screaming bc I truly believe all African fathers thrive off of sharing "funny" videos via WhatsApp https://t.co/wHGuP5qwiv

    Your parents don't really love you if your 'Video Album' isn't filled with videos like this!

    2. Having To Explain that NOT Everything on WhatsApp is REAL!

    4. The Irrational Warnings

    Having an African parent on whatsapp. . 0.01% of the time : Hello son, how are u? 99.99% of the time :

    Well, maybe we should at least be grateful that our parents really care and are looking out for us!

    5. The Conspiracy Theories! AKA LIES

    6. Complaints About Your Display Picture

    The face African mothers make when they're about to tell you to change your DP on whatsapp

    Either your're showing too much skin or your room is too messy in the background, nothing seems to satisfy your parents when it comes to your profile picture! Unless of course... you're in a cap and gown.

    7. Using the 'Last Seen' Stamp Against You

    African parents be like "wake up i knw u aint sleeping ur last seen on whatsapp was a minute ago" better not pretend or amma whoop ur ass

    So, you stayed up til' 4AM on your phone and now mama is asking you why you went to bed so late...? The real question here is is "What was mama doing on WhatsApp at 4AM in the Morning?".

    8. All They Do is WhatsApp!
