Ugezu Ugezu Criticizes Nigerians Who Make Guests Pay for Food at Parties

Nigerian filmmaker and actor Ugezu Ugezu has criticized the practice of making guests pay for food at parties.

In a recent video posted on his Instagram page, Ugezu expressed his dismay at Nigerians adopting foreign practices without proper consideration.

He shared an incident from Onitsha where a friend attended a party and was surprised to find that the host required all adults to pay for their meals, though children were exempt.

Ugezu emphasized that this practice goes against Nigerian customs, where it is traditionally unacceptable to invite guests to a celebration and charge them for food. He captioned the video: “It is not everything that we must learn.”

Online users reacted to his post with mixed opinions. User nilobrawn commented, “Maybe we should learn to be flexible in adaptations.

The car you all are buying and driving is not your culture and not from your forefathers.” Another user, teensgram, praised Ugezu, saying, “One thing I love about this man is, he’s so culturally oriented and he always tries to pass down his knowledge to everyone around, both the young and old.”
