#9 Being Late


African people love to find out exactly what time an event starts so they can be a minimum of 5 hours late. This is the buffer time that must be set when planning an event. If your graduation party starts at 4pm on the flyer, make sure the DJ and MC are there by at least 6 because it’s understood that people will be there around or after 9pm. No matter what you DON’T have going on, if you are African, plan on being as late as possible to fit the breed you belong to.

Can you imagine? My own wedding begins at 2pm, at 4pm we begin to shower, and get there at 5pm, forgetting that the wedding started 3 hours ago.

Even when it comes to events like graduation, i had a friend of mine who showed up late for his graduation and missed the opportunity of him walking on stage to collect his certificate as people cheer him. People!, let us all try to be more punctual in all we do, it pays. cheers.
