becos it will last them and can do so many things like with beans,soup,tea, akara, and moi-moi dats why they appreciate it

If i am driving home, I buy bread, If i fly halfway and join public vehicle halfway, i dont buy anything. The few times i bought i managed to forget them in the vehicle. All i do these days is as soon as i get home, i walk across to the nearby shop and buy large quantities of loaves that i share out to relations. I guess it has become a norm that people must bring bread when they are visiting, the reason, we may never know.

Nomski0: Dont buy that type for me. I want wheat bread, the one with no sugar. Come with plenty, i want to eat London bread.

Internet Etiquette 101: Typing in all uppercase means you are SHOUTING. Its either you are being ignorant or stu-pid or at worse, a combination of the two.

Secondly, you probably don't know how to use smileys. You have too many of those in your post.

And to make every uncool, brov you are not funny.

My advice: If you don't have anything to say, just view the thread and move on. A lot of people won't find out you are stu-pid.

What is this one saying?

Nonso23: Reminds me of the Legendary "ofoma" bread sold on the highways in onitsha
(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

Full stop

Only local travellers do such stuffs like buying loafs of bread.

Why

donem: Only local travellers do such stuffs like buying loafs of bread.

Sure Ehhh kwa!

While we are still trying to figure out why travellers do buy bread for their hosts, family etc. The truth remains that if you are coming from a journey in this part of the world and did not come with "common" bread , it is a likely indication that you are stingy or callous.
