U shud expect ridiculous gifts esp with dis prevailing mentality dat weddins ar opportunities to raise capital, and ur guest are only eligible 2 recieve sorverniers in exchange 4 dia gift..

nonen: Who still uses kerosene lantern, hand fans and morter and pestle in the big city. What are the electricity charged lamps meant for? What are blenders meant for? What are electric fans meant for? I can only say the type of gift presented reflects the capacity of the senders mind.
If you want real pounded yam it has to be the mortar and pestle

During my wedding, we received loads of glasses: tall glasses, short glasses, wine glasses, beer glasses, drinking glasses, flutes, green glasses grin grin

I think everyone thought they'd be unique. Even after 5 kids who have each smashed their own share of glasses, we still have a cupboard full grin grin

Re: Funny Gifts You Received After Celebrations? by PresGEJ(m): 8:56pm On Aug 26, 2012

Here is my own list:

1] The Presidency - Some call it dumb luck; I say it's a gift
2] Newspaper Adverts - Those ones lift up my spirit after so much bashing by ignorant Nigerians; but I have to pretend I don't like them
3] Delegations of sycophants from every nook and cranny of Nigeria - Time wasters; except when election is approaching
4] A church building - I nor send the yeye guy oh! Church?! Of all gifts?!
5] Women - They find me irresistable now, unlike before (I mean, look at Pay-tience; that was my best in those days)
6] Loads of Benjamins - The most useful

Your Presido

Mine was a copy of our reception programme in an envelope in order to collect survenir. I was amazed that someone could do that.
Re: Funny Gifts You Received After Celebrations? by hammedkola(m): 8:53am On Aug 27, 2012
ifyalways: Internet Nigerians!

Only on nld would you hear that pestle and mortar and co. Should not be found in homes again because we have yam pounders and blenders.


Tufiakwa, olohun maje...Why will i eat pounded yam made from yam pounders..It can never be the same and that is the originality of pounding with mortal n pestle

Re: Funny Gifts You Received After Celebrations? by snthesis(m): 11:29am On Aug 27, 2012
beblessed: I think every Nigerian home should have morta and pestle. I feel 4 men whose wives cannot make some local dishes, which when prepared with morta n pestle taste better. Try local fresh onion stew in morta n your life will not remain the same... All these modern appliances, though fast, will lead us to early grave.
pls marry me kiss kiss kiss kiss
