See What Culture Is Doing To Us by Kaykay(m): 10:24am On Jun 15, 2017 |
Cultures Killing us NAKED TRUTH *Strange things we do in Africa in the name of "It's Our Culture* *1. We care more for the dead than we do for the living!* *2. We spend more to bury a person than we do to save his/her life.* *3. We will not travel to go see a sick relative but will travel to bury him/her* *4. People will rarely respect you while alive but will want to "pay their last respects" to your casket.* *5. A person may NEVER receive roses in his/her entire life but he/she will get lots dumped on his/her coffin and graveyard!* *6. We will spend a night at a neighbour's funeral and it will be our first time to see the inside of his/her house!* *7. No one gives a damn to know your village until you die and they will all fill cars after cars to "escort" your corpse* *8. We will take the dead to the mosque/temple/church knowing full well that he or she had nothing to do with worship while alive.* *9. We might not have granite tops in our kitchens but use the granite in the graveyard!* *10. An entire village might not have a single house with cement floor but the only place with cement floor will be the tomb of a late illustrious son or daughter!* *We need "Cultural Reforms". We have a culture of "hypocrisy" ... a culture that is "Pro-death" and NOT "Pro-life!"* *We need to value life BEFORE death.* Please love me while I am alive. Show me your kindness now that I need it. Your presence at my funeral will never make up for your absence when I have the greatest need of you. Do it now than regret later. *This got me thinking, what do you think? 1 Like 1 Share |

That's sad....it actually seems more like worshiping the dead there in Nigeria. I've always said treat people well while they're alive...rather than dead. |
