Nigerians love to party wherever they are in the world, and London is no exception! So BattaBox heads to a young girl’s birthday party to find out what is essential for a Nigerian party abroad.
“Good Music and Good food – we love food,” says the Entertainer. “Without traditional dress there is no Nigerian party,” says another man in a funky Nigerian outfit.
This party has a whole buffet for food – jollof rice, chicken, moi moi, pounded yam and much more. But also, there’s some loud children’s entertainment, traditional dress for the birthday girl – Ruby – who is three today! And, of course, also a large cake!
But why is it so important to have all our Nigerian cultural heritage for our children parties abroad. Simple say the guests:
“We must let our children know our culture!” says one man.
“We need to teach them about our culture young so it won’t be a new thing to them so they will embrace it with their friends,” says one of the mothers.
What are the essential things for you at a Nigerian Party in London? Becauase it’s clear that Nigerians learn to party from an early age in London, Nigeria or anywhere!
