"That’s not a gift it’s called AROKO in Yoruba .. they should be careful."
Explaining further, no_creative_username_found wrote:
"Aroko is a Social Symbol of Communication Among Yoruba Natives, mainly before the coming of western culture. The cutlass might symbolise war as it’s synonymous with Ogun, who is god of war and cutlass is one of his military weapons."

In other wedding news, the video of a white man in popular Nigerian attire called agbada has generated massive reactions online.
As the man danced to a Yoruba song, other white men, possibly his friends and family, jumped behind as they tried hard to follow the rhythm of the drum.
