Image
                                   If someone told a Nigerian event planner five years ago that artificial intelligence would one day help plan weddings, design event décor, write event scripts, and manage guest lists, the response would probably have been: "Abeg, it doesn't work for Nigerians." Well, AI has arrived. And it's quietly setting up shop in Nigeria's event industry. No, robots aren't taking over wedding receptions.

But if you really want guests talking about your wedding long after the last plate of jollof rice is served, add a few fun games to the mix. The best wedding games don't require complicated rules or expensive equipment. They simply get people laughing, interacting, and creating memories. Here are some crowd-favorite wedding games that work perfectly for Nigerian weddings. 1. Dance Freeze Challenge Guests volunteer to play. Everyone dances when the music plays. Once it stops, everyone must freeze. Anyone caught making the slightest move while the music is off is out. Anyone with lazy dance steps is out. Simple? Yes. Entertaining? Absolutely. 2. The Jollof Rice Relay Contestants carry a spoonful of rice across a short distance within a specified time limit without dropping it, but there is a fun twist, they must dance while doing it. The MC comes up with hilarious twisting dance sty...
