Thanks for Coming



"To all our invitees and the "mogbo-mo yas",thank you, E se pupo, Daalu, Nagwode,ati bee bee lo!"

Eku inawo! Meaning Happy Money Spending! ...Nigerians especially the Yorubas are fond of “owambeing” (partying). I remember this funny song by Tunde and Wunmi Obe, it goes something like this *singing* efun mi ni ounje, a ti fresh fish, saki and pomo ati stock fish, pelu moimoi, coleslaw, small soft, salad, puff puff, samosa, ema je ki o poju, i dey wash my weight, E ku orire, eku inawo, ese party, mo gbo , mo ya...

Giving gifts at parties as souvenirs is our culture, At a real Nigerian party you will also always see the guests leaving with some type of personalized gift for domestic chores or living. After more and more parties, our house is stocked with cups, food coolers, cloth bags, towels, bowls, plates, trays, pens, torch-lights, notebooks, jotters, slippers, key-holders to mention a few. All covered in stickers commemorating the celebrants. I have come across some brow raising souvenirs like a single pack of spagethi?? A single pack of indomie noodles, haba?!?! Now to the latest I saw on twitter *drum rolls*
Why do Nigerians do this? So money is now given as souvenirs? Kilode? Ogini?

"I'm only responsible for what i say or do not for what you understand"
 

Geez!!  must everything have an underlying meaning?!?!? Working with mostly men is definitely easier. Men seem to be a little more straightforward and take things at face value but women seem to read
something into every little statement that is made.
The difference between us is, in most situations women tend to see a shade of grey (for e.g. “but what if by saying or doing that he means this?”) and then we drawn our conclusion based on our observation plus hearsay at times, guys see it as either black or white. We analyze every expression or gesture, nothing is overlooked.   Then we talk about it behind each others back and hold grudges. I could be wrong. I could be projecting. Or I could just be reading more into it, you tell me :)
