Please subscribe or pass our channel on to someone you know could use the support. Let's teach our girls how to care for their hair so, when they're older, they'll know there are other options besides chemical processing :).
The Nigerian version reminded me a little of the Ghanaian parents I knew growing up, so of course I had to do a Ghanaian version! :)
I based this on the many amazing Ghanaian women I grew up around and of course on my beautiful mother, who is no longer with us. My fondest memories are of when she would have me do impressions of her to entertain her Ghanaian friends. She LOVED when I'd do an impression of her dancing (like at the end of this vid). She would literally be in tears, she thought it was hilarious!
There's nothing like a mum, wherever she's from, so please cherish her while you can.
Love to you all and thank you so much for watching and for your wonderful comments. I may not be able to respond to them all, but I've read each and every one. God bless xx

[@TheOnlyWayIsGhana]

when she picked up the phone with the 'white voice' #diedoflaughter

[@LeoDiva27]

My mother is from Haiti and she does all of this....lol! It's black parents in general..lol

[@loveheals6184]

The day I saw a Haitian video where the parent said, "Mettez a genoux", my mouth fell open. Didn't think anyone outside Africa had even heard of that kneeling down misery.

[@drmichelledaf]

[@123georgiabful]

[@evangelisttiti2182]

[@judearthut6283]

Im from Ghana so are my parents anyway the people in the Caribbean were descended from GH

[@amyastraub104]

jude arthut How do you pronounce Ghanaian? I've heard ghan-yen, ghan-ay-en, but I don't know what's right, could you tell me?

[@LDXReal]

Amya Straub gone ee an

[@loveheals6184]

Said by Ghanaians with our indigenous accent, it's Ga ni (as if you were saying the word "knit" and stopped halfway)-yen (like the number ten but with a y)

[@AFRICANEXPORT]

LMAO, I swear the sucking of the teeth is straight up African . I love this "You wanna sleep ova,wha is sleep ova?" lol ha ha ha

[@Sambamwambam]

I'm Jamaican and my mom does all of this just in a elevated tone of voice

[@Shonteezie]

"so so what, so so what, you can talk, but you can't even wash your panty!!!!" I think one is an international rant! Gotta love your moms! Nadine you are crazy girl. I love it! Thanks for sharing with us. "CAH, CAH...WHAT DIS CAH???" I USED TO WALK 10 GOOD MILES TO AND FROM SKOOHL!!! still cracking ME up!!!

[@kofilarbi6063]

Stop we Ghanaians don't do that shits

[@MrsMoyo]

This is so funny!! I'm South African, when we lived in the US, my mom used to say the same things to me. Thank you for the laugh. I shared on FB!

[@AJGSP]

Lmao At "Swine You" I Haven't Heard That In Ages. And Picking Up The House Phone With A "Posh" Accent.

[@sophiedoosaah7753]

debi debi debi is exactly my father hahahhahaah !!!

[@tracy-annrobinson4559]

Majority of Jamaicans have the same mannerisms... I just found out last year that it's Ghanaian. Cool.

[@yooki198]

This keeps on being funny to me. I have tears in my eyes. HAHAHA. "Mark it on the wall!" My childhood in a nutshell.

[@LadyJacqueline07]

We are all one people, the accents may vary but this video PROVES that we are more alike than we are different. I have read almost all the comments and I can see how much joy this video brought to a lot of people including myself; it is wonderful that through video we can teach, learn, listen, laugh, cry, and reflect on our upbringing the way this video just did. Great job Nadine and God bless you all who watched the video and for those who commented.

[@christgospel21]

Loved it, please continue to share often "our" African culture!!!!

[@ronzieandme]

My mother's side is from Barbados and my father's side is Nigerian and I'll tell you what..I've heard some of the same expressions and phrasing from my maternal grandmother! I love all your videos!

[@luvnnapps]

I love you Nadine!!! This is on point. Definitely sharing!!!

[@JazzWife]

This is my second comment on this video. Of all the videos I have seen on KZbin, THIS is my all time favorite.

[@nikiawatts1277]

I swear I remember watching this when you first posted and I still LOVE IT!! OMG! I'm still laughing!! Where is the video skit about the pre-poo products. I miss these videos and I can't believe how grown up your girls are now. So beautiful. Thanks for sharing with us. :-)

[@ressenycva]

I so need more of these. I am getting soooo homesick for my old family.

[@Soulful_Chaos]

YES!!! I actually thought about you when I watched that video and HOOOOOPED you'd do one too! SOOOO HAPPY YOU DID! And of course it is HEEE-LARIOUS!!!!! LOLOLOL!!! Love you and your vids NADINE!!!

[@Forsonn]

You literally covered my entire childhood in minutes! Lol! So perfect! Thx for posting!

[@kerft1]

I am Jamaican I could swear I heard my mother & my grandmother talking to me! This was a great video!!

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@ltcartwright1976 LOL! I can only imagine what my mum would have said about the social services these days...Thanks for watching x

[@psychsoul718]

Thank you lol, they sure are the best, no one's better than mom at knowing exactly how to make you feel better, it's a gift that mother's intuition. Take good care of her and love her, that's all one can do :)

[@bjbrownbob]

OMG, the walking 10 miles to school was my Grandmother!!! "If you don't respect yourself you better respect me." that was my Grandmother too but she added " and God". This video made me laugh and brought tears to my eyes since my Grammy raised me and has been gone for over 19 years. Thanks for posting.

[@schail]

Soooo hilarious! I love this and so true. I especially loved the "Mark it on the wall". You will not believe how many times I heard that growing up.

[@brownie7007]

Oh my gosh hahaha, 1:17 to 1:27 had me in tears, laughing. Awesome work as usual! And like everyone has said, it is so awesome to see how much our different cultures have in common! My parents are from Jamaica, and I've heard plenty of this...

[@lazuli2199]

Oh, that brought back memories. Who knew we had the same mother . . .

[@ModelingTabi]

I JUST CAN'T TELL HOW MUCH I LAUGHED I EVEN CALLED MY SISTER!!!!!!OMG......YOU SHOULD HAVE YOUR OWN SHOW.......GOD BLESS YOU AND HE HAS ALREADY BLESSEN YOU LOVE YOU MAMA.......YOU KNOW HOW WE AFRICANS ARE BUT I AM DAMN PROUND TO BE AFRICAN!!!!THUMBS UP

[@Yvelyna]

Your sketches are hilarious Nadine!!!!, I was born and raised in Ghana, but now in US, and I totally relate to this sketch, my mom said the same things, and guess what I say to my kids now, " you will see what I will do to you when I get up there" hahaha ......lol.

[@momzestlife]

LOVE it!!! U made me laugh, smile, chuckle! This reminds me of people I know :-) Naming no names.

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@ManiSimone OMGoodness! I remember those days...lol!!! Thanks for watching xx

[@ethel4739]

"Mark it on the wall". My mum's favourite thing to say

[@whitneysolier1]

OK, this is about the fifth time that I have watched this vid. and it gets funnier everytime and brings an even bigger smile to myface. there must be som "Master Class" that is being taught to Black Mothers. Girl the dance at the end, leaves me weak with laughter. My mother sworn that whatever party\event she was going to, she was going to bring the house down with her dancing. Brings back (now) loved memories of my mom. Thanks for doing this and sharing it with the world.

[@cmetube1]

Not from Ghana but I sooooo enjoyed this video! My family is from Panama and this reminded me of some of my family.

[@ezekielismineful]

thx so much for this video. it gave me much needed joy!!

[@jarquavius10]

I loved this video, I have never been around anyone with Nigerian parents but find it absolutely hysterical that as it is said, parenting is the same the world around because my southern black mother had very similar sayings and parenting tactics, only difference is from what I am seeing, many of you actually wrote on the wall and lived to tell about it, in our home that would have warrented more than a "spanking"...lol!

[@sidneyboakye4662]

So true.. So true... "Mark this date down!Ahh." Sounds like my mom.

[@ElizabethHome153]

"If i come there you'll see what I'm gonna done to you" sound like me with my two older boys

[@carrotts123]

This is great!! really enjoyed it. My parents are Jamaican and they say the same things.!!!

[@NaturallyHigh]

This is a great video!

[@divinebeautysupply5144]

girl you are the best. I like the video.....wait wait wait I love the videos oh!!!!

[@truuguy]

LOVE IT!!!!! lol... My parents are caribbean, and watching this was like dreaming of home! lmbo!

[@yooki198]

I am wiping tears from my eyes!

[@xPahNaNax]

LOL! I knew for sure I would enjoy this vid. Every line. My mom used to (and still do even though I am in my mid-20's) say, " You must be homeless! You must be to be spending the night else where!!!" On the phone w/ the noises (sucking teeth and what not) WHAT? LOL. I cracked-up at your facial expression at the end when you were dancing. SERIOUSLY, that is my peoples (Haitians). Wow many cultures are a lot alike.

[@Celestialtarotreadings]

Those people have robbed us of a lot. Thank God traces still remain in our cultures. Thank you so much #Coromantee

[@sheabuttaful]

Ohhh Myyyyy Goodnesssss....classic!!!! love it!!!

[@CherishMyDaughter]

I'm Haitian and I was thinking-WOW--the same kind of thinking. My mother talked about carrying water on her head and what's a sleepover...and respecting yourself and so much of this...=)

[@ManglemanX]

I love this! My love is from Ghana as well.

[@Lunar123424]

[@Rachel_forever]

This is just too funny !!! I know you love your mother very much!

[@HISWil143]

This is so funny. I had to watch it like 3 times. I'm an American with southern roots, and I can relate to everything she was saying, my mother would have said it in a westcoast southern accent. I LOVE MY PEOPLE. WE LIVE ALL OVER THE WORLD BUT WE ALL HAVE THE SAME BLOOD!!!!

[@gladneymomma]

Love it! Im from Sierra Leone and it reminds me so much of my mother. I guess West African parents are pretty similar in their disciplinary actions! lol

[@naturallovesong]

Lol! Cracked me up. Each island/country/region just has their own spin on these for CERTAIN! Thanks for the laugh. God bless.

[@lepetitecherie]

LOL!!! I'm Nigerian and grew up hearing all this stuff...and still do. My parents crack me up.

[@Qochemist]

OMG!! I loved this.... Sounds like so many of my Ghanaian friends and there parents LOL!!

[@Cherylynnify]

my parents are malian (west africa) , I'm born and raised in France ahaha they said the same things !!! great video!

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@AMusicBaby That's too funny! I thought I was the only one growing up with these expressions and noises of disapproval. lol x

[@anitasackey6776]

I love this sooooo true cried of laughter!!!

[@JazzWife]

This was SO funny. The video is finished and I'm still laughing. My family is from Panama but most of these things are just too familiar. I felt the chills. I am going to have to watch this again! Too funny!!

[@thegreatblaqitalian]

You r soon funny! I'm African American & I saw my grandmother in you... Keep the videos coming (:

[@Sapphire1009]

[@11teiko]

[@CME1138]

Love your scripts. I'm Guyanese and I can relate. Trust me. Lol

[@dcaramelone]

I love this...I work with a lot africans...Nigerians and ghanians ...they certainly have their own way of saying things. I think I will show this to my ghanian friend tomorrow. lol

[@TheAndiekonadu]

I fell OUT!!!!!!! "This is good-oooo, I'm going to take some to Ghana." I heard that my whole life, hilarious!

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@TheSupasweet Thank you!! So true! It's like they all went to some secret parenting class we don't know about...lol

[@alexaowusu8845]

im ghanaian too love your vids btw

[@Tiffronee]

Super cute and excellent acting...I will show to my Ghanaian roommate!!!

[@slomo5ny]

love the video and being from south carolina i would hear the very same thing

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@Ysheena1 LMBO! Too funny! I think 'sales callers' are surprised when they get Lucy when I first pick up and switch to Nadine's mum when I realize it's a sales call...Lol x

[@YaniqueDukeLive]

This is so funny! Takes me back to my own childhood and I'm Jamaican! lol Wow

[@tineshakeith3551]

Love this!

[@Baruch1girl]

@LadyJacqueline07 Your comment is simply lovely! May God bless you and your family too!

[@smilesallround]

"o o o o o, debi debi debi" my mother ALWAYS says that!!! LOLLLL gotta love ghanaian parents!

[@odi320]

awwww read the description :) God bless your mom for raising an actress :p

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@AfroTee Lol! I used to get so frustrated that my mum wouldn't let us sleep round friends hoses. Now I'm the SAME way with mine. I had lots of Caribbean friends growing up and YES, they were indeed the same. Lol x

[@1cbjack]

My grandmother used to take a cooking spoon to us. She told us about walking to a from school, how we looked when we went out, if someone else ran in front of a bus, would we do the same thing, she also sucked her teeth, and said, uh, uh, uh a lot when displeased. I appreciate all the stories she told and all the time she took to help raise us. Grandmama in the house! and living in Ghana.

[@filmtress]

So funny. "Oh oh, oh oh. " lol "If I come there, wait and see what I will do to you". Still sends chills up my spine. It goes to show we are the same around the world. I love my African Peeps, no matter what part of the globe we're from. I'm African American and I'm glad for KZbin and Facebook. We get to reconnect with our African people everywhere. Note: Don't go by the media and judge us. There is a smear campaign going on looking to trash black women. Don't Fall for it. Much Love.

[@mangadud]

Nice one!! So true!!

[@Canadagirl151]

My parents are from ghana and I this seriously sounded exactly my mom and dad especially the "mark it on the wall" part and the "ooo ooo oo" lol

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@Lifeisagift1990 It's so true. I always say that most first generation kids of immigrant parents have similar experiences growing up. Same sentiment - different accents. lol x

[@missmwendele]

Thank you for a hilarious video! I'm Congolese and my mom said many of the same things, only in french lol.

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@whoissugar Lol! The noises that come out of them when they're upset! It's almost worse than the words! lol x

[@Baruch1girl]

@Elormdiva Amen sweet girl! I tell you this video brought me so much joy!

[@brunette1234]

My parents are from Cameroon and I felt like my mom was talking to me!! LMAO you did it perfectly!

[@nyemanuel]

We didn't originate from the Caribbean, UK etc...doesn't matter. All African Americans ORIGINATED from Africa. We were brought from africa to the respective countries we now represent. This is why we relate sooo much...And I definitely relate! Great vid...
