A Nigerian lady has stirred reactions online after sharing the surprising list of rules she was asked to read before entering her friend’s naming ceremony.
The clip, posted by @tush_alaga, immediately drew attention especially because of one rule she described as the funniest.
Asked to Read Rules Before Entry
According to her, she arrived at her friend’s house for the event but was stopped at the door and instructed to read a printed sheet titled “WELCOME TO OUR HOME!” The guests were expected to follow the rules strictly to protect the newborn.
She captioned her video: “POV: You went to your paddy’s naming ceremony and on getting to his door, you were asked to read this before entering… Na that number 5 weak me pass, lolz.”
Baby’s Safety Was Top Priority
The parents made it clear that they were not ready to take chances with their newborn.
The rules stressed hygiene, limited touching, and avoided unnecessary familiarity with the baby.
The list opened with: “We’re so excited you’re here to meet our little one. To keep our baby safe and comfortable, we have a few simple requests.”
Full Naming Ceremony Rules
The rules read:
1. Please use hand sanitizer as soon as you come in. We want to keep those little hands germ-free!
2. Let’s keep our hands off the baby’s cheeks. Those chubby cheeks are adorable, but we’re trying to avoid any unnecessary touching.
3. Our baby’s name is IREWAMIRI, not Ire.
4. We’d appreciate it if you could avoid kissing the baby on the mouth.
5. When talking to the baby, speak in a normal, clear voice. We don’t want E.g (Jigijigigi yigiyigi)!
6. We’re all set on advice about raising the baby, but thank you! We’ve got a good support system in place. Let’s keep things positive and uplifting.
7. Please avoid shaking the baby’s hands or touching its ears.
The note ended with:
“Thank you so much for understanding. We’re so happy you’re here, and can’t wait for you to bond with our baby!”
