MissMeiya:


So they can kill me? No thanks.

Shamefully, I'm not even exaggerating. I have kinsmen who have convinced themselves they are entitled to my father's properties. When I began making it clear I plan on moving to Nigeria, against their expectations, funny things started happening. My father and I do not eat in certain people’s houses.

I have enough to worry about. They can all go to hell.

MissMeiya:


What on earth are you talking about? I had to Google Ijebu, and I still don't get you. What are you trying to say?



...I think you might have mistaken me for someone else...

LaRoyalHighness:
What is this one saying?

Which stupid, outdated culture are you talking about?

Which culture permits dirty, unemployed, silly youths to throw stones on a widow?(How many rooms have their parents built sef? How many dem don build?)

Which idiotic culture?

Bros reverse and park here carefully.

Useless village inlaws! Always wanting to start wahala where there's none. They are the same everywhere irrespective of state and would always find something negative to say about their daughter-in-law whether she's wrong or right!

So what if the mom stopped his son from continuing the building project, is Tuface Father Christmas?

shizzleStar:
Some traditional practices go into oblivion no doubt, but there are certain traditional rites you dare not tamper with.

FYI, i'm not justifying the actions of the unruly villagers, only pointing out to you that as long as village matter is involved, things are not done at will by force-by-force or emotionally like you alluded to when you talked about taking two soldiers. Even if you take 1million soldiers, there are still instances that tradition MUST prevail....and that's a given

Now calm your nerves...you're beginning to sound too emotional

omocheche:
. Bros no be him inlaws o! Na him own uncles.

englishmart:
story for orunmila!
It's either the mother is a liar, or 2face is broke!
Ftc sha!

curiousmind11:
Comments here make me to believe that Nigeria has a long way to go. Politicians will continue to hoodwink and steal us blind. Whether someone has a house in his village, of what concern is that to U or his village people? How many people in his village contributed to his training or career? I am a strong proponent of people giving back to the society, but must it be by building a house and by force? Giving back to the society doesn't mean sharing money or building house for relatives.
Some people on this forum are the reason, Nigeria take long to progress.

LaRoyalHighness:
So the tradition is that one builds a ten room apartment before they bury his father.

Or else the mother or wife is stoned to death. Right?

I don't really care .... But I repeat no one... As in no one has the right to stone anyone. That is an assault.

Yes! next time 2baba or any member of his family decides to go to that cave of a village... He should get soldiers, sss or something.

Afterall even my local government counsellor won't enter village without his mopol etc. So what's the biggie?

shizzleStar:
Quit twisting my words to suit you... building a10-room apartment is a tradition? where did i infer that from any of my comments?, however it could be seen as a moral obligation if the wherewithal is there ceteris paribus. In this case, 2face has the moral obligation to do so.

And who justified stoning anyone??

People travel to their villages with able-bodied men and armed security men only as far as security is concerned....its really no biggie...even if its a million of them However when its time for tradition to takes its place, all that effizy and money-power must take the back sit for customary rites to prevail...it is non-negotiable. Dig that?

Mind you when i talk tradition here, i'm simply talking about traditional burial rites(in this case) that MUST be observed and i dont mean building a house, having SSS or what not. I had to clarify this so you don't misquote me again

yomanovic:


I luv every of the word in your comment. Do you know that while he was still hustling to make ends meet, some of them might have hoped he won't make it to the top while some might have even gone diabolical just to make sure his star doesn't shine. Now they want to feed on his sweet. Gluttons.

PrinceAkbabio:
Those men are suspects, de killed d poor man so de cn own a house, God punish poverty...

brainpower:
Why didn't the Pa micheal build before he died? Tuface can decide to build whenever he wants to build and shouldn't be forced to build, actually he can decide not to build at all. Atleast we know he takes care of his responsibilties and family so maybe his father never wanted him to build when he was alive. And as for his mother telling him not to build, in as much as she denied it, there's nothing wrong with it. She knows these villagers so well and knows that it is of no use now. It is senseless to say she stopped him, she would have stopped him before he even started the foundation of the house. So money constraints stopped him which doesn't make him broke but in his priorities there is no use going out of his way to build a house that nobody will live in at that period of ebola and not to forget that he probably paid all the bill of the burial alone.

Shinatu:
As long as people see taking a corpse "home" for burial as a must then they will continue to be subjected to this exploitation and manipulation.
If you know you want to be buried in the village, please find out about the traditional expectations and start to put things in place before you die, do not put unnecessary burdens on your children.


I gathered that some titled chiefs in certain areas live out of this, so 'keeping the tradition' is very beneficial to them, they will always have stories to tell of someone who refused to provide the cows for a burial rite and died within 7days or how young people started dying in the family!

It is appointed to man to die once and after death is judgment, if you like slaughter twenty cows and bury him in a freshly built skyscraper.

because you choose to live your life impressing others does not mean everyone has to be that stu-pid. ewu nama like you
