Abagworo: This culture exists in Igboland for a titled Nze n'Ozo man. Never knew any other people have it. I guess the difference is that in Igboland an Nze is buried seated upright with an elephant tusk on one hand.

jeamie: wat a culture..mitcheew

ooshinibos: thats why this Nigeria is unproductive ...too much fetishness

osinachukwu: ,blood of elijah!!

Okija_juju: Typical Nigga reaction..

The man is dead.

How is his being 'seated in state' any more worse than when we 'lie people in state' prior to their being buried..
If no Oyinbo man do am now, people would be seeing it as significant, blah blah.. Nigerian does it and everybody starts talking shi!t.
What about Argentina that preserved Eva Perons corpse in such a way that it didnt rot or decompose for years.. Then she was exhumed after 3 years and laid in state again.. No wahala there..
O! And for the Blessed Catholics amongst us... Isnt it hypocritical of you to frown upon our culture and tradition when you display corpses if dead preists and nuns on the alters of some of your churches around the world and even pray to them as well?!





Please if you dont like the tradition of the people, fine.. But dont look at them like they are from a different planet. What they have done is no different from what applies generally.. For Some = Lying in state
For a Deji = Seating in State
