The Nigerian family is the father, mother and the children. It also includes the grandparents, uncles, and aunts. The father is the head of the household and primary breadwinner. The mother handles household duties and takes care of the

kids.


B. Children often eat separate from the adults. Nigerians have tremendous respect for their elders. Once the children get grown, they are expected to care for their parents. Soccer is their most popular sport, and most girls and boys start playing once they become a teenager.

Nigerians enjoys music and dancing, and they are often incorporated into celebrations and special occasions.


C. Nigerians favor an indirect communication style. Nonverbal communication and gestures convey more meaning than what's being said directly. If a child makes eye contact with a elder while communicating that is a form of disrespect. Nigerians form the south are more outspoken, loud a more direct than the ones from the north. They are very friendly and appreciate being asked about their families during conversation. Teens hide their negative emotions from their parents out of fear of punishment.

They normally meet at the bride's parents' house and the grooms parents let them now of their expectations. Basically, letting the soon to be bride and her family know that if she isn't serious and ready to commit then there is no need to move forward. The gathering is almost like a mini wedding. In Nigeria you are supposed to be married by the age of 30 and if you are not people start to question it. Couples go through triple wedding ceremonies and social media is a public stage for relationships. They often post on social media with a cute saying or phrase. Parets blessing the marriage is the most important thing before the future bride and groom move forward. After their parents' blessings and the ceremony is over, they move in together and are expected to have anywhere from 2-3 kids.
