"This white woman is a better Nigerian than you!" I'm CRYING LMAOOOO

[haebee]

her mom is exactly my Asian mom. i'm a gay dude and when i introduced my boyfriend to her for the first time, he said "Lei Ho Ma" which is "how are you" and my mom was so charmed they instantly clicked. weirdly, they've become "sisters" since then. she tells him things she NEVER told me. i'm furious.

[TCt]

So we're not gonna talk about how fly her entire aesthetic is?
Jumpsuit fire.
Necklace thing fire.
Shoes

“Mom do you love us?” “ I like all of my children” lmao. African Moms are the best

[swicheroo]

LOL. I can relate. I'm Vietnamese American. Vietnamese don't totally get into bowing--it's 50/50. So I figured as a Vietnamese American I don't do bowing. Friend comes over and does a full on bow. I'm so embarrassed. And my parents were like, yeah, that's right. You better.

Always seems to end so quickly, she's such a good comedian. Plus, everything she said about Nigerian culture is 100.

[beatpirate]

Omg Nigerians is like Chinese. Meat butcher uncle and auntie. We also don't hug! My mom would call me a white lady when I hugged her!! I love her sketches. So relatable the immigrant experience.

'You don't know this woman, stranger danger...'. This cracked me up, she's brilliant! 😆😂🤣

[mimithetigress]

I'm a lesbian daughter of 2 wonderful Nigerian parents! Believe me, everything shes saying is 100% facts!

[ratbatnufftime]

Parents. When you expect them to tick, they tock.🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

[philo]

Lol being Nigerian I completely get everything she’s saying. It’s like we have the same mom.

[topgurl]

She never lets me down. Always hilarious.

[shortblockflexinit]

I just saw her on Wendy yesterday, and not only is she still with Nina, her mother and Nina are practically best friends. Love it!

[mavenLA]

Sounds like Asian parents too. Ive never been hugged

( im only exaggerating, ive been hugged like twice probably )

[_OddFrogs]

I'm glad Gina is doing so well abroad, British media executives never gave her her dues for the exact reasons she's thriving in the US now

[ivyveronique]

😂😂😂omg this is so true. I am a 28year old female born and living in Uganda, East Africa. The first time my father told me that he loved me was when i was 18years old. My results were out and i had performed really well and had been admitted at a prestigious university to study law. 😂😂 he went out and got drunk and told me he loved me and was so proud of me😭.

[zeenate]

Omg she's so funny lol! Stranger danger mom!

[guillermorojasc]

I love how her voice is so passive aggressive.

[MugethiGitau]

Please I would have been furious too! Stranger danger 🤣🤣🤣

[solaraslays]

Gina is an amazing storyteller! I love herrrr! I cackled a few times, especially at "and then she will die and then she will rise again." 🤣🤣🤣
