It's not a must ritual. I grew up in Enugu and this is the first i've heard and seen this practice.
Plus, so fucking what? Hell all you guys using this shocked shocked shocked--stupid sign. Next time, you see any kind of meat, DO NOT EAT IT.
Abeg, they kill a horse for the burial of their dead, you people kill goat, chicken, cows, etc for the burial of your dead. what is the Difference?
From what i've noticed about Nigeria is when someone's culture is different from another person, you people instantly do a 180 without considering how similar one of your culture is to there's. Abeg, comot for face. Na your horse e be?

LMAO @ this thread

What if one can't afford to buy a horse or there is a shortage of horses ?

Do you then buy a donkey ?

@Arnold1; Pls read earlier posts before u make your own comment. It's not compulsory that u kill a horse even if there are as many horses as there are chickens. So keep your donkey please!

Just like Osisi and Ifygurl said, I've never heard of this culture, so it's not common.
