What tribe is he?

If he’s an Igbo man he’ll appreciate everything to do with the money.

You are going to a barbie, not bartering for the hand of his daughter

If they were unimpressed that is their issue not yours

Actually I just realised Akin’s a Yoruba name (another tribe).

Yoruba people are more outgoing and less money-loving than Igbo people. Yoruba people don’t drink as much alcohol as Igbos either (especially if they’re Yoruba Muslims). You’re best sticking with a box of chocolates and a crate of Bud at the most.
