but there's is normal for a wedding, it is Nigerian system of food and drink partying that is abnormal

tensazangetsu20:
They don't serve food in Ghanaian weddings.

[s]Every Nigerian knows how weddings are done in Nigeria with all the owambe and everything. Our west African neighbours are totally different. The first Ghanaian wedding i went to was a very big shock to me. The venue was like 3 hours from school so I went hungry. I thought it's like Nigerian weddings where during the reception you can eat till your hearts content.

Well after all the church buohaha. We were just served 2 buns one coke and one tiny chicken. I thought that was an appetiser and the main course is coming. Only for people to start going and I was told that was the end of it. I was shocked to the bone. After that before I go to any Ghanaian wedding I make sure to stuff up my tummy.

That country is very weird.

makydebbie:
100% true. What is most celebrated in Ghana is burial/funerals. I went for a wedding and I was given snacks, but if it's burial now they'll cook and make merry like it's a wonderful thing. The thing weak me honestly.

Tensazangetsu20 is right.

When my inlaws came to collect traditional marriage list, after we gave them our list _they gave us theirs. They said their son is not cheap. My dad shock !

We thought it was small something.
As we opened it, it was actually neatly typed and sealed.
Naso we see 1big male goat, 1 big bowl of fufu, kegs of palmwine. They kept on emphasising on the BIG.

Are you sure the Tivs of Benue origin are not from Ghana? They celebrate burial and funeral more than any other thing.

Your categorical assertion is absurd to say the least. I have been to wedding receptions where there were buffet with people being served with different types of food.

A Modern Culture

On culture shock and Ghana. Some few years ago i visited Ghana during my vacation. Being my first visit i asked my hotel to arrange a cab to take me round Accra. I got talking with the taxicab driver. The news of oil being newly discovered in Ghana was in the air then and it was already affecting their economy as fuel prices were already rising.

At one point, the guy took me to their GRA and was pointing to where the government officials live. And then he added "you see corruption has become a big problem now in Ghana especially among govt officials. He said can you imagine that some ministers now have up to 2 cars, some even V8 and now fill their fuel tanks to the brim. The corruption is too much now." He bitterly complained. I was like is this one corruption? Although i was nodding my head in agreement, but in my mind i was saying 'is this guy joking or what?' Is this corruption? Come to Nigeria Here in Nigeria you can even capture corruption with your camera
One V8 jeep, you say corruption. What will you say when your airport lacks enough space to pack fleets of private jets

On a lighter note i was really shocked. I cant forget the experience. Like someone had mentioned earlier, Nigeria is a great nation compared to its neighbouring countries.

When i left Ghana and flew to Liberia, the cab that took me from the airport likely has never travelled outside Liberia before. On getting to Monrovia, unknown to me that we were already in Monrovia he said this is the road to our vice-president house. I saw a bungalow with broken bottles strewn on top of the fence. I asked where their tall buildings are, and he pointed to one 2-storey building. I was like is this guy joking or what! And this was even before the ebola virus wahala. And then pointing to one upstair, he whispered to my ears 'this hotel is owned by one govt official - complaining, he said you see corruption?"
When i got to my hotel, i saw i have many many things to think about and many many more to be greatful for. We do not appreciate what we have until we lose it. Nigeria is and can be a great nation.

Very fun.
