I am sure we are all familiar with the tradition of people exchanging food during Christmas celebrations. You see neighbours sending plates of rice over. Some are still gonna send over tomorrow...lolz |

Hmm... My neighbours are already reminiscing on how the previous years has been: they gather together, eat together, drink together bla bla!.. I don't do it... If they bring, I'll eat on one condition: If it's my landlady, That woman is a good chef and VERY NEAT! It is not very necessary... it just fosters a little unity...kind of... There are people that brings to me, Then it goes straight to the bin AND I'LL TELL THEM BIG THANK YOU WITH A WIDE GRIN...LOL 8 Likes 1 Share |

When I was a child I saw it as a waste of food (no disregard to the gesture) because what you give is the same thing we prepared so what tha hell!. Now am an adult and I really appreciate the gesture, especially as a bachelor. 16 Likes |

Gawd! I didn't do this. I didn't receive food from people before, during or after Christmas; not necessarily because I didn't want to, but because we were sternly warned NEVER to. I got the beating of my life one day I did it. I remember when I was small, we travelled to the village for Christmas. I went to see one of my play mates at their place. On getting there, I saw my mum there discussing with his mum. The woman immediately offered me food. Omo if you see this Rice & plenty Chicken ehn... Because mum had already warned us seriously against collecting food from outsiders, I was confused. I didn't know what to do. Mum was there shouting, "Collect na, Nna m, collect". If I hear. I looked at my mum, looked at the woman, then fixed my eyes on the sumptuous & delicious-looking meal being lowered to my table. Chai, I no know wetin I go do. I said NO! E pain me no be small, but if I had made the mistake of collecting & eating that food ehn, I would have received the highest igbati of my entire life when we get home. I knew this, I just had to avoid it. I then left that place...in frustration. I know my mum. She go jez dey look you to know wetin you go do. Oya do rubbish na, you go hear am. 31 Likes 7 Shares |

We nigerians believe the best gift u can offer is 'stomach infrastructure'.so it all about LOVE...but on a sad note- this food sharing virtue is seriously fading off,which shows we r nt as loving nd united to eachoda as b4. May Jesus visit us today nd forever. 2 Likes |
