Why Do Certain Tribes Do This In Nigeria? by ikechukwu21(op): 6:46pm On Mar 20, 2021*

So I have noticed over the years how that whenever I give my neighbors of certain tribes food, they end up returning my plate with food cooked by them inside and sometimes even tastier and better than mine. Is it that they don't want to feel indebted to me or is it pride or it's just them paying me back for my kindness? I'm asking this because I want to understand why it happens that way. I feel that their thank you is enough for me. Everytime I get food back, I feel embarrassed as I do not like people paying me back for favours or kind acts rendered by me to them. This is the reason I like being anonymous whenever I have the opportunity to give at a gathering. I don't want someone coming back to tell me thank you. Lol. Please let's hear your views because I'm really curious.

It's a return of good gesture, don't take it to heart bro.

In my place you never return a plate empty handed, even when visiting don't come with 10 fingers. Come with something, when visited give something.

It's a simple rule of honour.

It's fun to exchange foods... It's just a show of love

Even the Europeans and Americans go to a party with a bottle of wine or something to add to the party, and it's not like the host does not have what to cater for the guest

Well it depends on the attitude of the giver, I have stayed across the three regions of Nigeria and I can tell you, 9 out of 10 times it's a show of good will. Simple

Maybe that's how it's down in their place. It's a actually a good thing, every gift is a bribe, one way or the other so they're paying you back in your own coin before you asks for what they can't afford.

Wow. That's great. I'm just getting to know these things. Or maybe I didn't actually take note of it before now.

Nature also observes that.

As a man, you give a woman your c*m. In appreciation, she gives you back a baby.

Like the say "one good turn deserves another"
