If you consider it a sermon then what's the essence of responding to it? Nairaland is an open forum,
i saw an interesting post and decided to post my opinion which is insightful and not intended to cause division or elicit unintelligent replies from folks like you!
There is no inferiority complex in explaining why Igbos take to spraying money at parties as against Yoruba's love for food. They are two different lifestyles which shouldn't be pitted against each other.
Take your childish remarks elsewhere! Some of you respond foolishly to people's comments!

Your case indeed get K.leg.

Keep hammering the same sermon.

If you case isn't inferiority complex then it diff psychological.

A party shouldn't be seen as an investment..... It is a call to feast.

Ihuomadinihu:
Basically,Igbos are self sufficient and sensitive people who believe in showcasing achievements and greatness to the world,consequently same traits are also applied in ceremonies and events. The average Igbo man attending a party does act like a glutton because he believes his own food is sufficient for him and he knows that swallowing every food available at the party is a dent on his honour and prestige.
Actually,igbos are not hungry people looking for where to eat download food. On the contrary,we believe in blessing the celebrants with enamorous Gifts and Cash. Ceremony in Igboland is an opportunity to gather your friends and have them show solidarity for you.
The cash and gifts symbolize that you have people who have achieved enough not to be stingy with their wealth.
The cash and money realized at the end of the day will be used to offset expenses,which will go a long way in preventing abject poverty.
It's unfortunate that some people that i would'lt mention see it as showoff and boring . It's our lifestyle and we are proud of it.
Only guttons go to party to eat everything on the menu!

Basically Yorubas are just more "communalistic" than Igbos. Parties in Yorubaland are places to get together, celebrate with the celebrants, Socialize with old pals or new people, shower them with love (both material and otherwise). The celebrants also in turn do their little bit by appreciating those who have taken them important enough to bless their event with their presence by making sure the visitors feel at home and are well taken care of. It does not mean those at the event are paupers who don't have food at home, but the belief is that Eating at your party is just part of being at peace with you and sharing in your joy.
A day will also come when one of the visitors will also be blessed by something significant, and we will also all converge at his/her place & do the same.

Igbos on the other hand are more flashy because they are more individualistic. And usually, the flashiness is not a constructive one. You see people burying dead people in jeeps and SUV's, crass display of wealth etc. Community livelihood historically has never been their thing. Yorubas can be flashy at parties too , but it is done within a theme.
That is the moral lesson of the whole story.

Yoruba party though, them no dey take food joke o, see meat like the size of ma head, Oh! That unique scent, taste of party rice...Lol!

My igbo brothers?! Hmm! If u taste anything wey carry oil for their party, u hustle'm be that. But if na for drinks, them go turn u to klint d drunk over night.

Baba, if u broke kon go igbo party, ur name na sorry b dat, those boys go use money change ur perception of party, u will hate attending parties, na who spray pass them dey do.

The yoruba party still has it; enough eatables and grooving.

Igbo party is a show off arena not often but that once will be the talk of the town,
For the yorubas they can organise party 4 times in a year for a dead person
The day he died party
The day he ll be buried party
41 days after he/she is buried party
Countless years of remembrance party
Some yorubas will be owning house rent, school fees, they ll never tink of borrowing but if it's for burial they can borrow any amount mostly the ijebu where I came from.

Lol... I just had to quote you because this same thing is happening in my family just this weekend (my Grandma of 98yrs died over the weeknd)... She was buried just few hours after her demise and trust me them cook plenty, we are awaiting the seven days ceremony and already two cows hv laid their life to rest... Them still wan do 40days celebration (only God knows the amount of cows that will go and street shut).... and some part of the family are claiming they will still do their own separately... Shuuuu!!!!
.

In as much as I agree to the fact of celebrating but sometimes we take it too far... Especially in this economy crunch...

I've never been to a Yoruba party but I heard they are the bomb. Well everyone can't be lying.
Although I've to try it first before making my comparison.

I have read from both sides, igbos are not the only ones who spray money. Since i was born, i have always known yorubas to spray money at the dance floor so its not an igbo thing. But please google the word "party". Its for merriment and celebration. Its a feast with loads of entertainment. If you cant treat your guest with food, drinks and entertainment what then is the essence of the party, is it just to spray money and leave is that what party is all abt. Even in the western world there is usually loads of food and drinks. They even eat dissert after the main food.Its not abt drinks only when its not a beer parlour. Besides is not that people dont have food but the party food taste different from home made food. So i give it to my people anyday anytime. Proudly Omo Yoruba

lwkmmmmm eating food is a dent in honor and prestige for alaigbo

shumax:
I am a northerner but Lagos Born and bred so I am going to try my best to be unbiased the Igbos traditionally honour events and people by giving and thats why infact it is often said an Igbo man recovers almost everything he spends in an event by the end of the event, I agree Igbos arent really good at mixing up at their parties every click sticks with their own, Yoruba's on the other hand honour events by a show of solidarity,the host of this events reciprocate by being good host making show their guest are taken good care of, In most cases Igbos dont go to events to be entertained or fed they to go to give and show effizy while yoruba's go to event to celebrate and in turn be taken care of. In General I feel safer with the Yorubas.

You are on point!

Damn.

Okay I'm going to take a nap now and sleep away the image from my mind.

when achievements and greatness is determined by how much money you have, the society can never be well.
When friendship is determined by size of pocket, the community wiLloyd not be well.

At a Yoruba party , you will enjoy yourself , either poor or rich
you will felicitate with your friends , both poor and rich
the rich deliberately don't eat at home sef, cus they know they are going to eat with their friends, both rich and poor!

That is the moral story of the whole story.

There is absolutely no moral in the picture and story. All i see are two different lifestyles which can be explained in different cultural contexts,each suitable to the lifestyle and thought process of the two different ethnic groups.
I made a simple explanation in line with how parties are perceived in igboland,expressing your dislike for that lifestyle doesn't give your higher points neither does it demonstrate that your lifestyle is better off.
Community livelihood and Indivdualistic lifestyle are unrealated conceptual issues which are part of our cultural diversity. Both can work in the individual cultures without being pitted against the other.

Obviously,this is one of those ethnic baiting threads so people are prone to comment without thinking.
I made an honest explanation being part of the opposite culture,it's ridiculous that people take issues so deeply to even state the morals of a picture.

lolz omo people don finish my igbo brothers for here ooooo......
the op never did a thorough assignment before posting this trash albeit how it backfired

sorry man...even ibos are amongst these people we normally call touts and omoniles....In other words i used a phrase to coin a concept or idea

juju is a yoruber word, which has been adopted into the english dictionay and now used GLOBALLY used to discribe a type of black magic

am smart afterall

omoharry:
I have attended several Igbo parties and that of the Yoruba..To be honest..Abeg i prefer the yoruba party..food, meat and drinks are readily available..food is usually not sufficient in Igbo party like that becos they must have invested that money on other things to show of at the party such as expensive wines and alcohols.so you will drink enough sha.but food is usally not in abudance.as for meat..just know that you are eating your rice with either a small meat or a largh chunk that looks like meat but is filled up with bones....abeg i prefer the yoruba owambe..i always come back happy and satisfied whenever i embark on any owambe than the other one..i am not a yoruba person so i know what i am talking about..

if you host a party who would you like to attend more igbo or yoruba e.g E money. Please be sincere.

Once again,nairaland is an open forum,you don't tell people to post or not to post their opinions on a thread irrespective of your feelings. However,if you must quote others,you can do so constructively without hurling insults in a bid to counter opinions.
Even at that,you've not been able to counter my submission effectively other than making heated verbal attacks.
Op made the post to elicit general opinion. Igbos are interested in spraying money vs Yorubas are more interested in feeding guests.
It's a pity that a picture threatned you and your tribal E war kins.

YORUBA TOO MUCH WHEN IT COMES FOR THE ISSUES OF CEREMONY AND FUNCTIONS.
