Mariojane: I believe nairalanders shud read post before commenting. D post said its a form of respect.it is not their tradition or culture. Funny enough some of ur fathers who criticise Catholics for bowing to Mary will bow to d corpse now

bioda: Hmmmmmmn. ...becos of diz man's death, there has been a kind of curfew in akure..no late night movements since..fear rules in the town now..to the extent that some churches have suspended vigils..no beating of drums during vigils. ..we arrived akure around 11pm on Saturday & even the soldiers at d barracks check point said. ."akure dey hot ooooo"..advising we stop and sleep at the check point! May God save us...

Katsumoto: So many idiots on Nairaland.

Someone else's culture doesn't have to make sense to you.

If the people of Akure have this tradition, who are you dunderheads to question it?

Was Mandela's body in the morgue when it was lying in state for 3 days?

They make fun of African culture but are quick to imbibe American culture even when many of them have never stepped on a plane before.
