I am an events photographer and I can assure you that, out of all the jollof rices on these earth, burial jollof is supreme.



I no say make you go kill grandma because of jollof o

If the deceased was aged, item 7 is allowed.

Only my community men go demand one full cow to share among demselves

I am with you 200%

Alaye pack well. Eat and drink joor.

If we decide not to eat or drink, will it stop the deceased family from burying the dead.

Being sober and hiding your hunger in a funeral won't raise the dead either.

If we eat here, others will eat when we kiss earth farewell.

laiperi:
Only if you are older than the dead. But water is okay.

It all depends on the culture.

Dancing at the Igbo funerals is one of the cultures I appreciate. Maybe also enjoy.

Yoruba eat, drink and also make room for Aso Ebi, depending on the age of the deceased.

Hausa also blow cultural trumpet.

yoruba own nobi here oo

Controversial filmmaker has taken to his social media account to shade those who attends funeral to eat or drink.

According to the filmmaker, Nwelue, he claimed that anyone who eats or drinks in a funeral lacks conscience.

Item No. 7, has become a part and parcel of funerals in Africa, and families who organize the burial ceremony for their loved ones factor food and refreshments for their guests.
Reacting to Nwelue’s view, many social media users revealed that taking foods or drinks at a funeral is already a habit Nigerians have formed and would be very hard to stop.

The fear of burial bills is the beginning of wisdom

Him just wake up ni

This guy has always been very controversial since his first year in UNN before he left Nigeria.

Some umuada and useless organizations will be making senseless demands before they attend funerals. Some humans have totally lost it

Na lie

U can't give what u don't have. Na food wey dem provide for funeral dem d chop

Well

I think that's his own personal conviction

Just like mine too

Personally, I hate taking anything Funeral related.

I really do hate it.

I'm not weird but it just doesn't sit well with me.

Again, na my own conviction be that.

Shouldn't be taken as a standard

What about if d deceased ate with out pitty wen he was alive.

Oga everybody go die, just eat food wet den give you and move on

The first funeral I attended was that of my Mother. I was about 9 years old. There were refreshments afterwards . It was very quiet, mostly close family and neighbors. Even then initially thought it strange , when I learnt it was on the program. I guess my young mind , used to associating refreshments with celebration, couldn’t make sense of it. But it was very quiet without being too

By the end of the event I figured , it made sense to “refresh” all of this people that came for Mum’s funeral..,

It was in my later teens I first heard of obituaries as an event where folks went to eat, drink and be merry. To party, in summary. funerals.

I couldn’t then and can still now not understand the fanfare around some funerals.

What ever happened to solemnity?

One guy always attend funeral because of the rice.....I dey shame on his behalf.

Madman

After breakfast, every human gets hungry after 12 noon. Some might not have strenght to go back home after the whole burial stuff which usually ends two or three hours after noon. That's the idea behind providing refreshment. But it should not be abused.

Well said." I cant lose my father and lose my money"

Seriously, that thing is disgusting, the day I buried my Dad I knew how bad that habit of eating at funerals can be especially to the family of the deceased, here in Akure where I grew up if an old person dies the next thing is for the family of the deceased to flood the whole neighbourhood with tons of Akara, making everyone eat above their level, the most disgusting of all is for the children and families to put on dancing shoes immediately after burying their loved ones as if they wished that person had died before his eventual death.

Yes na I have been saying this, is not good to eat or drink in funeral, is a day of soba reflection, if you eat and drink shoes you are happy of the person death

One of my mentor radio pastor made alot of sermon about it


Death is not what anyone should celebrate

Same way we celebrate the birth of a child. Same way we should celebrate death. When God gives, we thank him.. When he allows one to be taken away, we still thank him.. Come eat and drink on my burial day.. Rice and stew very plenty for the lord will make me live a fulfilled life

Nonsense .Nah celebration of life

so you want to use your fathers burial to make all the money you never made in life in one day abi? Just remember you will die too.

There is a Yoruba proverb that says
An elder person died in the house and u said young ones should not be given food.... Are the young ones the cause of his death ?
Me go chop ooooo

juniorstar:

What if the person lived well and died at a good old age.

the message still says we waste and lavish money on burial days ,which not supposed to be so

Of course

Please who knows what I can do to make money online.... I'm still a student but I don't have anyone supporting me .

I'm open to do anything legal to make money online
Thank you in advance

Truly Born Again people don't die but Translocate from Earth(pain) to Paradise. That's why they don't mourn as the hearthen mourn .
