Culture are meant to promote socio-economic development, integrate people of different cultural background and guarantee their security. People should feel more secure in a territory they leave and obey the rules and regulations couple with the fact that they paid their due as at when due.
But it is barbaric, uncivilized, and unacceptable to impose unnecessary curfew on them just because someone passed away.
Death is inevitable for everybody even though my people says a king don't die but goes to World beneath, the death of someone shouldn't cause unnecessary hardships on the people leaving in that area.
For the Royal family of Egbeda in Akowonjo axis of Lagos State to impose curfew for two solid days as a result of the death of the Oba is not a good development in the 21st century, they ought to understand that people's livelihood depends on their daily routine and business activities, paralyzing those businesses is amount to denied them their fundamental right. Government should wade into this 18th century practice and let respect the freedom of movement as it is enshrine in our Constitution.

Is this supposed to be a dusk to dawn curfew? Why on working days if at all. Do they not know how many thousands of people having to pass through Egbeda to work everyday?.
