Nigerian parties are known for their extravagance, but some hosts take it to a whole new level. We're talking iPhones, cars, live chickens, and even petrol! Yes, you read that right - petrol!

Let's take a look at some of the wildest party favors that have been given at Nigerian events.

iPhones and Cars: The Ultimate Party Favors
At some Nigerian weddings, guests are treated to luxurious gifts like iPhones and cars. In 2017, Ehigozie Ogbebor's wedding was a prime example, where guests received iPhone Xs and two lucky guests won cars in a raffle. Similarly, Faith Osakwe's wedding featured gold-plated iPhones as party favors.

Unconventional Gifts: From Live Chickens to Petrol
But it's not just about the expensive gifts. Some hosts get creative with their souvenirs, like actor Alesh Sanni, who gave live chickens with pink ribbons to his guests. Others, like Toyin Abraham, distributed bags of pepper with custom bags featuring the deceased's image. And then there was the infamous petrol giveaway, where guests received 10-liter kegs of fuel during a time of fuel scarcity.

Food and Medicine: Practical yet Unusual Gifts
Some hosts also give out practical gifts like foodstuffs and herbal medicine. At one wedding, guests received plantain, yam, and vegetable oil, while another couple gave out loaves of bread and eggs. Herbal medicine was also distributed at a wedding in Ibadan to ensure guests' health and well-being.

The Evolution of Party Souvenirs
These days, party souvenirs have evolved to include electronic devices like microwaves, blenders, and rechargeable fans. Some socialites even give out branded items with their photos. Movie premieres have also become an opportunity for gifts to be showered, with items like human hair and beauty products being circulated.
