6 Shocking Things Nigerians Borrow Without Shame

In this country, borrowing has moved from “abeg run me small change” to full-blown madness. Forget wigs and food, Nigerians are now boldly borrowing things that should never leave their owner’s body, bathroom, or bedside drawer itself. And the worst part? They don’t even see it as a big deal.
Let’s break it down:

Aso-ebi

Borrowed aso-ebi warriors are always in wedding pictures, they didn’t buy the fabric, they didn’t pay tailor money, but somehow they’re inside the bridal train pictures smiling like chief bridesmaid and looking happier than the couple. Tomorrow, the fabric goes back to the original owner like laundry return service.
Underwears

Yes, it’s as wild as it sounds. “Abeg, lend me that your bra make I use am under this gown.”
Eiiiii, as how nau???
Please, how do you borrow something that has been loyal to another person’s chest?
Sex Toys

If you thought underwear was crazy, wait till you hear this one. Some Nigerian ladies are actually borrowing vibrators. “Clean am well, abeg” like Dettol, is the solution to spiritual trauma.
No, my sister, some things should not have a second-hand market.

It is meant for just one armpit, but noooo, it’s now for national usage.
The way people will twist your roll-on till the ball starts crying for help.
Next thing you know, body odor is doing exchange program.
Lip Balm / Lip Gloss
