@Allan Copeland Because you lot don't do voodoo like that in the States. Africans don't trust each other because of that hence why they don't eat from each other's household unless it's trusted loved ones.
Lost €120 from relatives for my communion gift My dad said he'd keep it safe when I asked him a few weeks later he said he used it for the common 1pounds rice and onions and stuff my mum was using to prepare my meals The irony😂😂 I was much too young
Let’s erase you are more than welcome and most certainly eating in this place and here. And no one will stop or restrict you from doing what you want to do it’s your choice and they will do no shit to you if you eat here. And certainly nothings gonna happen to you will be absolutely fine
Sometimes they stop the child from eating at their house and then they themselves go and eat the delicious cooking and the child has to painfully sit there and watch them eat.
Growing up in Nigeria,I was like 8 my mother picked me up from school, brought me to a friend's shop told her friend to watch me while she went inside the market quickly for like 10mins,when she got back I was eating fufu and ogbono soup with some bus driver, till this day I ll never forget the look on my mother's face, PRICELESS 🤣
NASSAfellow too old! I guess I’ve forgotten being around Europeans for so long, they would take it as the biggest insulte if you decline his their hospitality 😂
When he says "he’s soooo big", I can relate. My dad never says anything about me getting big then as soon as another family member says it, "yes he’s soo big now"
someone wan explain this to me cah when i was younger and my parents made me go to guests houses they used to get vexed when i didn’t eat. they said it was bare disrespectful to not eat someone’s food they made for you
@Paramyx thats actually true ,some families dont like you to eat in other peoples houses so it doesn't look like you are not fed at home , and some will make you eat just to show respect to the person even if its just a small portion
Lmaooo I’m Nigerian American first generation and growing up my parents would tell me TO NEVER eat food from someone else. Till this day anytime someone brings food to work or I’m invited somewhere to eat I always feel a bit Nauseous whenever it’s presented. Smh we never had fast food growing up. Only eat my mother’s or aunts cooking. I remember my class mates thinking we were broke lol. My mom’s a nurse practitioner and my dad’s a pharmacist plus I was in private school. Also my parent didn’t believe in spending money on clothes and shoes. Had no choice but to wear Payless shoes apparently Jordan’s and timberlands were for drug dealers smh
@@SolidDragonUK Maybe they were smart but always being a cheapskate can negatively impact on the child, sometimes its ok to reward or treat them like on birthdays or holiday time otherwise the child would be jealous or maybe even hate their parents
If your african u defo know about this one. Me being a Nigerian I've made it a rule to not even show a hint of hungry at another African's household, cuz I know my dad is staring me down 24/7😂😂
@@mpforeverunlimited for lots of reasons tbh, - you can't always trust others cooking, like if they're clean - some people are sus so you don't know if the food is safe to eat - also because you don't want to look like you don't have food in your house - and you don't want to look greedy or too forward But if you say no again and again, you just look rude, like you think their food is beneath you or something. It's just a headache 🙃

@@39seoul no from what I know these people don’t trust each other and that causes so insecurities whereby they have to take all types of measures to protect themselves.
@@SI-kr1sf I thought I would see this answer more. If feel like it goes far back but African parents are afraid to look superstitious, so they say the line “do you want people to think we don’t feed you”-
Loooooool!😂 Deffoe remember this when I was younger and thinking wot?? we only had breakfast... The whisper threat, the behind the arm pinch, being sent to the car for ’something (nothing) just to as an excuse to leave.. you name it!! Some communities gossip and say so and so's household practices JUJ so we can’t eat there/stay too long etc.. fuckeddd😂😂😩
I'm Nigerian and I can relate to this. It's mainly because parents don't want to come across as people who lack food and can't feed themselves and they're children.
I’m not African so I need to know, is this a thing lol? I’m Hispanic and when someone offers you food in their home, it’s disrespectful to not accept any
Also Hispanic and don’t understand. Foods usually accepted with in turn people start talking food beans rice tortillas and peppers and Mexican beef jerky lol
At first I thought the dad just didn't want to take advantage, like you get offered just out of politeness but you refuse because you don't want to eat all their food up.
This was also the case growing up in Nigeria! That “ we have already eaten” mantra must be universal! But with me, it was always my mother ( my dad was a damn liberal) ! My mother would give me that ….”if them born you well” look, whenever outsiders offered me food! But if you “formfool” and make the mistake of accepting and eating food offered to you outside, know that there’s hell to pay when you guys get back home!😂😂
My Angolan mums is kinda similar,I have this guinea-Bissaun auntie (not by blood) who’s house I used to go to pretty frequently to go see one of my cousins(also not by blood) and nearly everytime I would always eat something as I can get hungry pretty frequently especially since I always rode my bike there,anyways I remember this one time my mum and my older sister were lecturing by saying that I shouldn’t eat at her house since “food costs money” and “she had her own son to pay for” and “your taking food of the table from them” etc and my mum was saying how if I ever get hungry then I should just take my own food over and I should say no if she asks if I want any food,and I just remember saying to myself,”how the hell am I supposed to say no IF SHE ASKS IF I WANT FOOD WHEN IM HUNGRY”
I am Polish,we always greet our housegests with food/drink...but if they don't want to eat etc. it is fine,no-one is offended 😉 But usually polish people are very keen to eat in other households (people they know,obvs) 😁
