Ive been invited to my nigerian pal akin's barbecue....
 

He is married with kids and is nigerian...the barbie is for his house warming.....my question is, do nigerians have any customs or special gifts for someone who has moved into a new home?

Bake them a cake. Everybody loves cake.

I'd take a nice bottle of whisky

Thats his tipple and he says he has loads already...im stuck to be honest..

have fun Parmy :love:

Bring a goat

buy them a copy of Liberation

Thanks pal.

jealous of all the jollof you're going to eat

or Yams


if I were you I would take a box of celebrations, a six pack of beer or two and a bottle of white and red, you can't go wrong

Bring them a box of chocolates simple :) :):):):):):)

What tribe is he?

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

Kilishi and suya tings this time of year.

He must be one of them cause he loves the money...


I bought his two kids an easter egg each at easter....i think they were a little underimpressed.....so i want to make an impression this time...chocolates just wont do..

I cant think of any traditional scottish house warming gifts apart from a fresh pile of sick behind the tv...are there any?

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

If they were unimpressed that is their issue not yours :smug:

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.

Yeah but they are a nice family and i like to see smiles on faces.....

The children are 5 and 3....a bit young for me.:nono:

Bagpipes, A Kilt, Haggis, Shortbread, The Still Game boxset.

Ive sent him a txt asking.

He is yoburu.

Definitely Yoruba. Went over my head till I preed his name properly.

[20/06, 18:21] ‪+44 #### 192107‬: I am Yoruba





Cheeky ***** getting diddly squat now.

Hehehe. Yoruba people are lairy like that.

Ask him if he’s Ijebu next actually.
