Asking for a friend."It didnt take long before the replies started pouring in, with opinions split across generational lines, personal experience, and cultural expectations.One user advised strongly against bringing any gift on a first visit:They just want to see you and get to know you!Another shared a different view:I don't believe in visiting people empty-handed. You can go with fruit or bread.That suggestion sparked even more reactions:Bread bawo' If you start with gifts, they may expect it every time. And if you stop, it becomes a problem.Its better to go without gifts on the first visit. You can always get gifts later.But not everyone agreed.
