Igbo Traditional Weddings: Local foods you should look out for

Igbo traditional weddings are a festive affair, from the outfits to the ceremonials, to the dancing, music and eventually the food.

At every Nigerian wedding, most people lookout for the food that would be served after getting a full picture of the couple's outfits and decorations of the venue. Food is such an important aspect of the Igba Nkwu (Igbo traditional wedding) so much so that the bride is expected to find her husband and feed him some palm-wine.

Here are some of the traditional foods you'll come across at every Igbo wedding.

2. Garri and Ofe Onugbu
