Why Must Travelers Buy Bread When Returning To Their Families? by killjoy(m): 6:38pm On Oct 30, 2014
I just observed a little girl running to welcome her big brother who obviously was returning from a trip. By mere looking at the contents of the cellophane he was carrying, I could see the shape of bread. Now my question is this - why must travelers always, i mean always buy bread during the trip. They may buy other things, but if bread isnt included, then the list is incomplete. Is it a tradition? Who started it? What is the origin of this bread thing? What is the significance. Please share with me if you have the slightest idea

Bread from eatries comes to mind
But we no de buy dat kain bread for journey

Come to think of it, bread has weight and occupies space
People from far and near can see it when it is presented

Have u ever heard of Agege bread?
The origin came from time immemorial when people who travel to Lagos are always asked to bring agege bread along.
Immediately he returns from a Lagos trip, the first question will be : where is the agege bread you brought? Hence the tradition continues till God knows when.
