I know the very essence of going to a party is to honour the celebrant..no prblem with that.. but what is the essence of the whole meriment when you can not even eat that very party jollof rice and correct meat and kpomo you have been especting to complement the whole occasion..come one na.lol..not everybody drinks like that..anyway..i am just stating my mind but that does not make me a manurished person..I always look forward to eating that party rice and assorted stew sauce meat , cooked with firewood when ever i am invited to attend one.

one day Dem go give u food poison... Longer throat ...

I have attended several Igbo parties and that of the Yoruba..To be honest..Abeg i prefer the yoruba party..food, meat and drinks are readily available..food is usually not sufficient in Igbo party like that becos they must have invested that money on other things to show of at the party such as expensive wines and alcohols.so you will drink enough sha.but food is usally not in abudance.as for meat..just know that you are eating your rice with either a small meat or a largh chunk that looks like meat but is filled up with bones....abeg i prefer the yoruba owambe..i always come back happy and satisfied whenever i embark on any owambe than the other one..i am not a yoruba person so i know what i am talking about..

if wishes were horses

Some people can't just discuss without hurling insults.

obailala:
Lol... If i'm the celebrant, I prefer Igbo party; but if i'm just a guest, Yoruba party all the way

obailala is smart

iamDiabolic:
ole,see ya mouth u to like money nd food.I wan invite u come ijaw party u go come

Ijaw party dey usually get freshly brewed kai-kai.. so why not

Igbo parties rocks, its fun with enough enticing and entertaining stuff on ground except u are going for the food then Yoruba will do. I don't care much about party food so please igbo parties will do.

tonquendo4u:
You no get food for house?D day I will wed,no food,just drinks and alcohol.You'll drink and spray me ur house rent

LOL..i get food but party rice is just different..even you can acknowlege that..Well if you dont expect your guest to eat well at your party, then there is no need keeping them at your party venue for more than 3hrs...dont you know some people might develop ulser?

ameezy:
Useless post useless thread

There's something about the picture of that man flogging that boy that makes me cringe.

yOUr DA BOMB
Leave all the wranglers, who says you can't even have fun at both type of parties depending on your mood and preference!

NB
Na ABJ we dey 4now; wld hav sent u a shoutout for a good get2geda come weekend; Salah break not withstanding, enuf gigs dey!

I enjoy both but observe that in Yoruba parties some people be so secretive and only serving a portion of the guests and hoarding champagne like one can't send them a carton on a good day

Treat people well na so you go reach heaven dey search for gatepass na your heart o not your money

Difference is some came to give in abundance while some came to eat and take in abundance

Gosh I love party rice. The flavor is unique

Yeah, it's very different from home-cooked rice, especially the jolloff rice. It's usually ultra-red for one. And very tasty. Ohhh I could slabber at it all day.

I don't know if I'll have time for pounded yam and those other heavy foods

Tell another lie. Does it take lesser time to eat rice than pounded yam? Admit it, you're too self-conscious to eat with your bare hands in public?
And you dare not try to eat local food with the cutlery in my grandma's presence. You would get whacked for attempting such

But heck I might try it as well. Who cares if I put on 5 pounds on that day alone

Oga would care.

What's efo elese merin?

It literally means: 'a vegetable that has four legs'.

Funny, right?

I don't joke with yoruba party oooo

9ja4show:


Your father should have masturbated the sperm that formed the idiot you have become

Smiles...Proverbs 23:9.

Basically,Igbos are self sufficient and sensitive people who believe in showcasing achievements and greatness to the world,consequently same traits are also applied in ceremonies and events. The average Igbo man attending a party does act like a glutton because he believes his own food is sufficient for him and he knows that swallowing every food available at the party is a dent on his honour and prestige.
Actually,igbos are not hungry people looking for where to eat download food. On the contrary,we believe in blessing the celebrants with enamorous Gifts and Cash. Ceremony in Igboland is an opportunity to gather your friends and have them show solidarity for you.
The cash and gifts symbolize that you have people who have achieved enough not to be stingy with their wealth.
The cash and money realized at the end of the day will be used to offset expenses,which will go a long way in preventing abject poverty.
It's unfortunate that some people that i would'lt mention see it as showoff and boring . It's our lifestyle and we are proud of it.
Only guttons go to party to eat everything on the menu!

If you consider it a sermon then what's the essence of responding to it? Nairaland is an open forum,
i saw an interesting post and decided to post my opinion which is insightful and not intended to cause division or elicit unintelligent replies from folks like you!
There is no inferiority complex in explaining why Igbos take to spraying money at parties as against Yoruba's love for food. They are two different lifestyles which shouldn't be pitted against each other.
Take your childish remarks elsewhere! Some of you respond foolishly to people's comments!

KnightRod:
Lol.. I'm Igbo, but I don't attend Igbo parties/functions anymore.. It ain't fun.. They do too much talking, the food is scarce, the meat is petty, and don't even let me talk about the drinks..

Igbo men have this hungry ego.. They always want to feel above their peers. My dad once changed 100k to dollars, just to spray his friend's daughter at her wedding.. Why?? Just because Others were spraying naira and he wanted to show them they don't call him 'Chief' for nothing


But some folks have not even taken as little as a bottle of coke at the wedding, and they were watching people spray dollars and naira on their empty stomachs.



But a yoruba party is always dah bomb!! You must eat to your satisfaction! Assorted food.. Assorted drinks.. Even ordinary naming ceremony.. They don't joke with the food.. They make sure it's available for everyone!!

Then the colourful attires.. Lol.. Really nice.

there is no need wasting money on food in an igbo party since we have this attitude of "didnt you eat at home?"
truth is that the most important things are drinks and gifts and brown envelopes because children and some destitutes around will be the ones to eat the food most times.

saintdennis:


Thank you sir... when is the award ceremony?

And it's not spelt fooly it's spelt folly.
Proves u fit into the 'make it @ any cost category. Run along

lol. Na una two be olodo. He actually meant foolery. To depict a fool according to context

I am a northerner but Lagos Born and bred so I am going to try my best to be unbiased the Igbos traditionally honour events and people by giving and thats why infact it is often said an Igbo man recovers almost everything he spends in an event by the end of the event, I agree Igbos arent really good at mixing up at their parties every click sticks with their own, Yoruba's on the other hand honour events by a show of solidarity,the host of this events reciprocate by being good host making show their guest are taken good care of, In most cases Igbos dont go to events to be entertained or fed they to go to give and show effizy while yoruba's go to event to celebrate and in turn be taken care of. In General I feel safer with the Yorubas.
