I cannot do that o. As you are bringing the food na so I go stretch my two hands and collect am. I no dey joke with my privilege.

I will gladly take back my food.. a mudu of beans is 1000naira now..

Person give you food for this economy you dey pretend not to see.. may amadioha not allow hunger be the cause of your death

We will pretend as if we didn't know he's bringing some menus menus for us

Ayam 1000000% guilty of this.

Lol. I can relate. I do it as well sometimes and I think it's something my parents have subconsciously instilled in me, as a courtesy gesture. I don't know if it's right or wrong sha. You don't want to appear like a wild and famished animal, or that you only came to their place to eat (their) food. You no eat before leaving your house? And it depends on the kind of meeting too.

After I have initially, but 'politely' ignored the offer, I'll acknowledge and put it down beside me or on the table first, then ignore again for another round and the host will be like, 'eat your food; you haven't started eating?' 'Oh, I will eat, ma... it's hot, it's this, my stomach...This movie...' and I'll go back to watching the TV, genuinely, though. There are even some guests that will come to your house and NOT touch any of the drinks or meats you put before them. I always pray for that sha, na that one dey sweet me, because I know I'll get to deal with them later. After all, if the guests had eaten it, it won't be there anymore, so mummy, let me eat it.

It depends on different social cues sha, but as a norm, you're not going to your guest's house to eat. I mean, eating, as in your main meal and such. The food is a refreshment added to the main reason for the gathering's purpose.

It's courtesy for you to offer, it's courtesy for you to decline. Exceptions apply though.

Forming like say you be senior man no be bad thing...Even tho if you are hungry self,no rush collect the food.... Behave like someone who had got some courtesy .

I used to have a friend back then whose mom was always fond of dishing meals for me whenever I visited their place....And I was always fond of pretending,but my guy momsy was already used to the system....So most times,she go just ask me like--"obax,you wor carry the food go house abi you go eat am for here". And you can guess what I usually give as my reply . "Momsy,abeg dish am for takeaway for me". Las las,I go carry am go house go tear am Apart

And the uncle don swallow spittle like two hundred times o.

See all those ones above me. Lol
It even gives you away when you try to pretend. So be yourself.

For me it depends where I am.

If it's at a friends' that eats at my place. It's inside your kitchen I'll tanda till the food don and I'll be the one to tell you how to put the food for me. But if I'm not free with you, I will reject the food and no matter how tempting it is, I'll never be moved.

The only place I can even do such is at parties where I know I should comport myself.

Is not about pretending is all about personality

Lol

Think it's more of an African courtesy thing

Our forefathers taught us some good manners

Isn't this better than the alternative of breathlessly gasping for whatever you're offered, as if one hasn't seen food for DAYS?

It's courtesy... People treat you the way you carry yourself ... Depends also, on the kind of visit ; formal or informal

It's called self respect, everyone is hungry but you have to respect yourself so as to accord respect by your hosts.

This I have seen.

More food for me.

It's called self respect and has nothing to do with being hungry or not, you don't expect
first timer to start rushing food like a fish.....

Lols na me be dis

My own worse even if I go my woman house she bring food i still dey do this thing wen deep inside hunger wan finish me. But if she come my side na two two hand she dey use eat without shame

This must be throwback pictures, this is only possible during Jonathan era. I don't know anybody that will do this in 2021 if you think I am lying ask FFK

Thats how to identify a pretender! Killers!!!

If shame catch face, hunger go catch bele

They are not serious, better visitors will be the ones to ask for food

Them never listen to Fela song before ni





Tittled “ I no be gentle man”

Naa when we small we dey pretend, but as we Don grow old now and economy don show us what's up, naa we dey ask wetin dey available.. even if I come to your house as first timer, naa style I go use abuse you shey you no go do me alejo
