This is an issue that i have been trying to clarify for some time. Every saturday, you can be sure to see funeral ceremonies happening. Most people see it as a tradition and it is common to almost every tribe. My question is that is it really worthy the trouble, some people go to the extent of borrowing huge sums of money and later land in trouble when they are unable to pay back. I know people who cant pay their wards' school fees but let there be a situation that requires them to have a funeral, they'l get the money by all means. I'm not trying to condemn the tradition, just saying my mind. Opinions are welcome

Complete waste of money, when my dad died few years back, the family budgeted 3mil for the burial. I stood against it, I let them understand that burial isn't investment, thank God I hv the cash so nobody will say it's b'cos I'm poor that's why I am protesting. The villagers and the so called sympathizers are not helping matters @ all, mehn this people can eat you dry during burial. I Overheard one of them say 'his son is an importer lets demand for 3 cows'. In fact burial is wasteful.
