Nollywood actor Ugezu J. Ugezu has shared his opinion on the practice of party hosts asking their guests to pay for their meals at events.

He stated that it was a common practice in the United States, and he had heard about it gradually creeping into Lagos. However, he noted that bringing such an attitude to Nigeria was unacceptable because it was not part of our culture.

The movie star spoke about how one of his friends in Onitsha, Anambra state, informed him about the party he attended, where the host asked them to pay between N5k and N10k for their food.

On his Instagram page, the role interpreter noted that it was the choice of the guests to gift the host whatever they liked.
