Nollywood veteran actor, Ugezu Ugezu, has knocked Nigerians who organise parties and compel their guests to pay for what they eat.
In a video posted on his Instagram account, the actor, who was visibly angry, stated that the development is not part of the Nigerian culture.
Narrating what happened to his friend at a recent party he attended in Onitsha, Anambra State, Ugezu said the hosts of they party instructed the adults at the event to pay for the food and drinks they consumed while they offered free meals for children in attendance.
Ugezu said he knew that this act was prevalent in Lagos but never knew it would get to places like the South East.
‘’I have been hearing that this thing was happening in Lagos gradually but I wouldn’t know the reason why anybody will bring that into this area. It is not part of our culture. We must have to understand that when we do certain things or calling people to come and eat, that is what the Hausas call Saraka, the Yorubas have a name for it. The Igbos too…When you call people to come and eat off you because you are happy. Nobody is expected to pay,” the veteran actor said.
