As Rochas Okorocha buries her mother the world is carried along. but does the politician in Rochas more active the decision to give to his mother such flamboyant and elegant burial.just thinking,

I believe that the dead should bury themselves, but if he has got money and feels like throwing some around; why not? After all, he's a typical nigerian.

I wont be surprised to find out that he didnt take care of the dead woman while she was alive.

there is this view that Nigerian politicians have the culture of taking every opportunity to make a political statement. the high and the mighty gathered in Okorocha'scountry home for the burial and it was aired on a national TV.was he just burring his mother or looking for attention as he has always done.

Both.
Any other thing you want to say?

the opinion is not actualy. i only posted the thread in response to a TV talkshow on the issue.

Okay, he is a politician, a rich one for that matter. Unfortunately for him, his mother kicked the bucket and as a nigerian politician he took advantage of that to campaign and make it political. Nigerian politician usually use every little occasion to campaign be it in church, mosque, wedding, naming or burial ceremony.
Dont rule out the ridiculous Igbo culture that demands you spend so much to bury a dead person you didnt care about while he/she was alive.(the church especially catholics have done so much to end this)

Whichever reason he politicized the burial, am okay with it since its not from the state's treasury.
