Ugezu Ugezu knocks Nigerians who compel guests to pay for food at their parties
Nigerian filmmaker and actor Ugezu Ugezu has voiced his disapproval of Nigerians who host parties and make guests pay for food.
In a recent Instagram video, the acclaimed actor expressed his dismay at Nigerians adopting foreign practices without proper consideration. He shared an incident in Onitsha where a friend attended a party, and the host required all adults to pay for their meals, exempting only children.
Ugezu highlighted that this practice contradicts 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.”

teensgram noted: “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.”
cerriaanne said: “Yes economy is hard but no one is forcing you to host parties.. It’s ok to solicit for support but why make it mandatory for people to pay for food in your party..”
