Attention owambe party planners! Times have changed, so we can’t accept jotters and napkins as souvenirs anymore. If we don’t receive these things at your next party, we’re not coming again.

Rechargeable hand fans

Don’t you see how heat is dealing with everyone this period? Share rechargeable hand fans at your party, and we’ll pray for you for 40 days and 40 nights.

Naira notes

There’s no money in the country, but we somehow still decided to attend your party. You must compensate us with new naira notes o. No jokes about this.

Eye drops

This country is showing us shege. Give us eye drops at your party so we can start seeing clearly again. It’s the thought that counts.

Fuel

Fuel scarcity happens every other weekend in Nigeria. Be intentional and give us a few kegs of fuel to take home for attending your party. It’s the little things that matter.

Foodstuff

Yes, we know we ate jollof rice at your party. But we still want to remember you when we get home. Give me foodstuff so you’ll forever remain in our hearts.

Partners

Half the time, we only come to your party to find a partner. Do the heavy lifting for us so we don’t have to attend a hundred owambes before finding our soulmates. You need to start dishing out partners at your parties.

Food flasks

We’re coming to eat food and steal extra anyway, so why not give us food flasks to make our lives easier? What do you think?
