I'm the type that rarely goes to a party to which I was not invited. I don't know how people cope with attending such parties, how can I beg for food in a party? Naaaa! When I attend a party, my presence is always recognized, whether in a group or individually.
But also, I've attended lots of parties I was not invited to, and those were when I followed my boss to arrange canopies and decorations in parties... and we used to see a lot of things because we were more like the umpires of the event, monitoring everything, and sometimes we used to 'wage bullets' when fighting starts. That's to say that some parties are usually heated!
Let me share some of the crazy moments I've witnessed at parties.
It was a Friday and the burial day of a well-known man who was a member of an occultic group. The burial venue was in the field at the back of our house. Everyone in the compound had scheduled how they'll go and eat at the party because four cows were slaughtered, and as for me, all I could say was, "Please bring for me," because I found it so hard to go to a party to which I wasn't invited, even though it was on my street.
When the burial kicked off, I sat on a chair very close to my window and was watching the scene, enjoying the dance displays by the musical group.
Then suddenly, cannon shots were released, which got everywhere shaken, and men in occultic dresses (a black gown with a touch of red) rolled in, in a line, with staffs in their hands. Everyone became shocked upon seeing them, but they remained calm to see what would happen.
I was expecting the MC to announce their arrival because they seem like a part of the event, but no way.
Then within a few minutes, the MC announced that they should go back because they were not invited to the party.
By this announcement, everywhere went into dead silence. These occultic people were not ready to return, and the owners of the party were not ready to give them space to settle. Then they looked around and located a well-decorated section of the party where high-profile men were seated.
They moved in that direction, and as they were approaching, the people seated there took off on their race, and that's how everyone began to run helterskelter.
Before I knew it, my sisters who were at the party ground, rushed into my room with their hearts panting as if they had just finished an Olympic race🤣.
Later on, we found out that the late man belonged to the same occult group with them, and the children were aware but they refused to invite them because they're Christians.
"Do not spray money on the body of the celebrant."
This warning is compulsory in all party events in Nigeria, and that's due to how a lot of people have used the money spraying pattern to harm celebrants... or is that just a stereotype?
I attended a friend's wedding event last year, and it was a competition of money spraying because the guy is a 'Yahoo guy'.
The MC got provoked because none of the guys were obeying his warning of "Do not spray money on the body of the celebrant," so he paused the music to emphasize it.
Do you know what happened? The groom went to him, collected the microphone from the MC, and announced that they should spray the cash on him because "nothing dey happen" (he's not scared of any harm)🤣.
The man seated close to me was like, *"on my wedding day, I won't buy the idea of no spraying of money on my body. As long as the money is coming I don't mind if there is harmful voodoo on them"🤧
