It all began in the 19th day of April, 1989, somewhere in Ihiala, Anambra state, there a certain primary school teacher who was due to deliver a boy rushed home to her husband to take her to the hospital, why she didn't just go there straight I would never know. So the husband was somewhere in the village square drinking palm wine when the message got to him, he hurried back with his bicycle and met a very handsome boy who was delivered by a home nurse, he picked up the child, he felt happy but a little sad his handsome son was born at home instead of a hospital, so he blessed the child that he would take away hunger from the family and ever since I've been buying bread for them anytime I'm travelling home. Lol

Because it is a composite demand. Apart from the fact that it is easily available everywhere, buyers and recipients can use bread to arrange the following:
- Aganyin beans
- tea
- egg
- soup/stew
- ordinary water
- Orobo coke
- groundnut
- butter
- Akamu (Yoruba-Ogi, english - pap)
- suya/kilishi
- etc etc
You see now, bread get many uses thats why people buy am wella...Those old toothless women for village, buy them bread, dem go soak am inside water, swallow am...Na prayers go follow grin

At Topic: This is actually a very good question. I have also pondered this myself. When I do get to travel by road, I buy the damn things only to get home and not understand why! So I usually end up giving them out since I live alone. tongue

Nonso23: Reminds me of the Legendary "ofoma" bread sold on the highways in onitsha grin
(Except septugenerians or above) no one can claim to know the reason why.
Speculations abound nonetheless, e.g bread was once seen as a commodity of the rich because bakeries were introduced by the 'whites' to us therefore anyone coming from far-away places (must have hit it big) must come with one or two as proof, etc, etc.
Even when i travel back to school, room-mates ask me for ''bread" and when the case is reversed i do same.
It's more cultural than rational sha..
All in all... I no know grin
abeg i dnt knw abt dat bread...was it in d 60s?
Re: Why Do Travellers Buy Bread When Visiting? by Ayodimeji89: 4:54pm On Nov 11, 2013

Okay. I have seen your question.
The answer, my dear, is that we travellers buy bread because it is a commodity majority of d population will eat. Thank you.
