The other day, I attended the wake keeping of the Nigerian family that perished in the NYC car crash. The wake keeping was hosted by an Arondizuogu organization (which's name I can't recall right now). The ceremony began with testimonials written by people who personally knew the family. After that, representatives of several organizations (including Arondizuogu Patriotic Union Houston Branch, Nzuko Arochukwu NY/NJ/CT, All Aro USA, Igbo Catholic Community, and the Nigerian Nurses Association) each donated large sums of money in order to help send the bodies of the victims back to Nigeria for burial. After that, they all paid their respects. Here are some of the pictures I took. |
