2horsePOWER: I think we Africans are a bit confused and currently at cross-roads. We largely profess middle eastern religions these days, condemning our culture when it suits us. But all these ceremonies have to do with our culture. Of which our traditional region is actually a part. Because our native religion sprang out our cultural and social state. In the Nigerian mind, it is about given the dead a "befitting" burial. Going out with a bang. I wonder if the number of cows and volume of food and drinks people consume make it befitting. How about ensuring the person lives a befitting life? |

The way folks chose to bury their family members is none of your business. If you want to bury your loved ones inside a gutter that is your business. Leave people alone and let them make their decisions while you make yours. Some spend money on burial, some other folks spend money on cars/ house, while others will rather spend their money on run girls and weed. It is a free world, spend your money whichever way you want... and stop hating! 2 Likes |

If you don't have to go and borrow to do so, or steal to bury the dead or engage in other illegal or wicked activities, then its your business how you decide to bury the dead. Its your money, do with it how you deem fit. |

Anyone that celebrates the dead in money term(lavish) it means such person has been longing to see the person died and is happy seeing his/her love one die |

If you have the money spend, if you don't have the money don't borrow money or take loan.It is only in Nigeria that i have seen burial rice,burial cloth or canopy are they celebrating the person's death?why were all these monies not used in the person's lifetime.Abroad everybody wears black,take flower and bury the person,that is it. |

There is one thing people doesn't know about this things called burial, is more than what you are seeing during that celebration, I lost my dad because of that rubbish celebration, most people are set up to die during burial. What happen there is that the olden days people gathered and agreed that anybody that dies this things are the list of things what they will bring to shared among the elders and they consult the gods to kill anybody that test anything without giving his/her own whenever they lost anybody. So if you do anything without consulting them the gods will come for you. Those things without destroying them, pls ask questions about your village burial rite, we don't have money but my mother's burial cost us 1:2m to avoid any other stories. Cause we are novice in village settings. |

If you fail to take good care of your parents while alive, any lavish spending is a waste of money and you have acted foolishly. |

Words of the Cultureless and Godly Dead: "Even though I tye a wrapper before I exit this temporal place, this place of trial for a crown, lay me down immediatly not more than 24hour after my women and babies had cried out their voices, immediatly without funfare! Dont touch me! "Just dig a ground, let my relations dig d ground. Do not allow a stranger to do it nor allow `d sons of pall bearers' to dig the grave and handle a costly coffin! For who? No...! This is my own body! Naked I came naked I should go. No coffin! A costly coffin that maggots and termites will spoil in 30days!- Follies of our children!!! Put some bamboo together, lay my body on it, do not pull off my last wrapper, tye it harder, even though I took my bath in three days time (does the ground where bodies are layed take bath? Why worry 2 give bath 2 our naked body then, why allow ferocious eyes to see the mandrake and bum dat sexed d hole of a living or dead?) bury me immediatly. Dat I may turn & bless d land. Nt in rage but in smiles. |

To me burial ceremony is wasteful of resources. Better to spend the money when the dead is still alive to care or use it to empower the needy in the family or around. |

[quote author=mastermaestro post=63363346][/quote] You can share things to the poor and needy later. You can dance to tears from outsiders later. But do not waste anything for our sake, so that our souls journey from the Earth may be in smiles and not in sadness- looking down at the waste our children wasted thier wealth upon! Bury the dead quickly at death without any fun! Is that dead body better than the soildiers who died on th battle feild unfound, or whose body was eaten by wild beasts, or whose body was burnth with accidental fire, or whose bodies were piled together and burried? or whose body was up on high cliffs?!!! The poor people could hav our wealth but no fun, nor our bathings, nor cloth-removing to see our unclothedness, nor bloody injections, nor dancing, nor white cloth gifts must follow us! Or else looking down our spirit sorrow at this nuisance ou called culture- "culture of the dead"!!! |
