One of the deliverance or mercy God has shown to me is that I get food in ceremony, celebration or party. I remembered in the past where I had issues getting food in ceremony, etc.

One major painful encounter was when I went to a child dedication ceremony, and I did not get food. At first, a man wanted me to eat his remaining food, but I did not. I waited for my own food, but the food never came. A woman said that they are bringing it. My people, I left that dedication without food, I only managed to eat the meat my elder sister was already chewing inside her mouth. It took me some time or years before getting over than pain.

If I come for your ceremony and you do not give me food, I may not be happy, except I am not interested. It is not that I cannot afford to buy food outside, but the pain of being bye passed when others are munching, and flexing drinks is not okay.

Please share your experience.

Lol... Reminds me of one funny but annoying event.

We ( twinny and I ) attended a wedding ceremony. So it was time to toast to the couple and cups were shared round but as they were sharing the blue cocktail drink, it finished before it got to me. Well I was a bit pissed but my twin now made the whole thing worse by what she did next.

She burst out laughing when she saw me clutching an empty cup. This made it so embarrassing. As if that was not enough, when it was time to toast, she started asking me, "are you planning to toast with an empty cup" lol... This made me angry though I couldn't help but laugh because of the way she kept dissing me with the empty cup. I had to drop it, still she kept at it and made other people notice. We are like that to each other.

I think that was the last I attended a wedding ceremony. Not because of the incident though.

When last did I ever attend a party self?

Omo this my reclusive lifestyle

rule no 1: greet the caterer thats the main aunty o (u can't miss her she is always huge with pancake makeup, she will always answer how are you my dear ) n d ushers before looking for seat

My brother I be regular customer. Customer dada ni

We wey dey si'down for ask me table, food no dey pass us by. Hehehehehehe

Naming ceremony is more about gifts going to the new born.
As for me, only hunger on.my own part can amplify the temporary pain of missing out.

I’ve attended a party where my aunt’s rival (her husband second wife) asked the usher to clear the table we were sitting as a group, due to beef wey dem get together (*hisses* husband matter)

Omo, I no dull am; I just change table sharply.

I was the only one that ate at that party from the people that came from my aunt’s side.

Polygamy is bad for a Yorùbá man.

Na who go party dey cry say food no reach am.
Before you see me go party, the celebrant must be someone I hold in extra high esteem.
