Culture / Meeting My Nigerian (ibo)inlaws This December I'm From SOUTH AFRICA Help! by Zazee31: 12:06pm On Dec 05, 2015
Hello everyone

Please help, I'll be traveling to Nigera Delta State Ogwashi-ukwu for the first time this December to meet my husbands family (Dad, siblings 13,14 years boy and girl) and aunts and uncles etc.

I'm from South Africa I'm just scared there might be clash of cultures although I've learnt and I'm still learning how Nigerians do their thing.

What gifts are appropriate especially for my father inlaw? Do I buy for everyone like aunts and uncles and their children? What do I wear amongst them, dresses and skirts or are pants fine? Do I cover my hair/head? Do I call my father inlaw Sir or daddy? I know the greeting for him is Onowu... How do I greet elders? Do I bow or go on my knees or handshake or must I hug?

Do I try make them food? I only know stew, jollof, fried rice and not too good Nsala soup.

When visiting people's houses and I'm not familiar with the food and don't wish to eat what do I say?

Please I need as much tips as I can get in staying for a whole month I'm scared they won't like me. But my husband says I'm over thinking everything.

Thanks
