We value human beings but that does not warrant frivolous expenditure in the mist of extreme poverty.” ANNOUNCEMENT OF A DEAD PERSON The announcement of the passing on of persons in the following categories must show respect to the deceased:- 1. The Town’s Traditional Ruler 2. A Cabinet Chief 3′. Ozo titled holder 4. Member of Traditional Council (a). in the case of the Traditional Ruler, nobody is authorized to announce his passage unless after the cabinet meets for that purpose‘ The announcement would be by the Onowu or Onosolu Eze in the presence. To lessen the burden of walling for families to bury their deceased particularly at Christmas seasons, all forms of burial ceases by Detember 20″‘while resumption to burrial is from 10′”January. ENTERTAINMENT This is another area that requires rigid control.

This is good leadership. Some elders are actually living up to their name. Next should be regulation on traditional marriage rites. 38 Likes 1 Share |

Methinks this recession is forcing Nigerians to use our senses more. This is commendable especially coming from traditional authorities who many people, including myself, thinks are redundant and too costly to run without contributing jack to the society. I am however glad that they are making concerted effort to curb excesses and wastage in their domain 3 Likes |

They have only succeeded in increasing the expenses or the extravagance by these fines because anyone that violate the rules and pays the fines would be seen as indeed giving a better befitting burial. They will deliberately break this rules and factors the fines into their expenses when planning the burial no be my people |

Rated excellent. But Enugwu-Ukwu is not the only community in Anambra State that has such laws. Virtually every community is doing something to curb unnecessary burial expenses that keeps the bereaveds too long in repaying back borrowed funds used in burying their loved ones. 4 Likes |

Those that can afford to break the rules can afford to pay the accompanying fines. Nice rules all the same, not rigid at all. |

fingard02k: This is one of the most stupid and meaningless "law" ever stipulated. Africans and triviality. How are you fools going to hold your thieving senate and house of representatives members who sit in Abuja collecting hundreds of millions annually. Your roads are death traps, your schools are backward without a 21st century laboratories and all you do is concern yourself with what type of soup one cooks to bury his Father. Delusional dweebs! 3 Likes |
