Kola-Nut: The Symbol of Hospitality
It is a bitter brown seed containing caffeine
In the past, has been added to drinks to diminish hunger and fatigue
The offering of a Kola-Nut is very important in the Igbo culture and is only offered to very important guests
This offering of the Kola-Nut has three steps that must be followed. The first step is the presentation of the kola-nuts.
The next is the breaking of the kola-nut and the third is the distribution of the kola-nuts
Presentation of the kola-nut can only be done by privileged men
Kola-nut is passed around until it finally comes back to the guest
Elder will then hold up kola-nut and say a prayer
Then kola-nuts are eate
