Tragically we lost a close friend to the cold hands of death who passed away in a ghastly motor accident.

He was in his late thirties to early forties,unmarried, no child, and a Christian from the North west.

In solidarity, we his friends, proposed to hold a formal wake keep for him at his Abuja residence and promptly began the preparation process. This included securing the services of a DJ and arranging refreshments for the gathering.

Certain members of his family objected to the idea of the wake keep, contending that it was inappropriate for us to engage in partying and funfair following the untimely passing of their loved one. They insisted we limit the gathering to just a public address system and a choir to sing, nothing more.

Some of our friends are threatening to hands-off and withdraw their involvement from everything about the funeral including not attending the burial and allow the family members do whatever that pleases them.
Others are of the opinion that we should ignore the family members and go ahead with our plans since we are going to be paying respect to our late friend and not members of his family.

What do you guys think?

KillahPriest:
Immature kids una. You want to hold party for such a young man, please do so at a club or lounge instead of disrespecting his family and memory or are you happy he died without a wife and kids ?

Juliearth:






His family members are right. Why hire a DJ for the wake keep of a man who died in his prime? That is very insensitive.

dan4oster120:
I suspect that this group of friends who are planning on fun festival for their late young friend must have their hands in the death of their late friend and just want to celebrate the successful execution of their late friend in the wake keep... Police please do the needful for this wicked friends.

shortgun:

This is how you people go about making spurious allegations just to dent people's image. If I decide to take up this your senseless dumb accusation against my person you will be begging like a he-goat in heat. You better withdraw the accusation and tender an apology to me before I use you as a scapegoat.
Nonsense

westside365:



The so called friend no be your family member, you kon carry the Mata for head pass his family. I talk am, that burial organisation na there you go renew your power from the Ogboni or Blood money that i suspect you are. People who act like you always have a dirty secret or blood money. For your mind you go talk say this guy get me.

shortgun:

I am not here to brag about how we've stood for this our friend.
Stop quoting scriptures to me cos I may know the Bible more than you do.

Acts 8:2
Some devout men buried Stephen, and made loud lamentation about him

OChimex:


In the bible times, people only mourn and not tbrow wild parties during burials. Lamentation is crying . This guy, not wild parties at night in the name of wake, which was why the deceased older mature people/ family objected, but una Wan do una childish thing against their will.
The last respect you pay to the dead is to respect the wish of his family.
The dead knows nothing, says the Bible. Which was why Jesus referred to the death of Lazarus as being in deep sleep.
You dead friend knows not whatever unnecessary things una Wan do...

Oga shut up abeg, are you wiser than all the pharaohs who pyramids were built to honor their passing?
You will just open mouth like Cow to spew garbage.

Fulgur:


Since when are friends in charge of someone's funeral arrangements? Even in the lawless and woke land of the West, they still respect the facts that burial rites are family affair.

You and your friends should respect yourselves and mind your business.

Lance008:

You Dey crase

Everything Na memories
Celebrate ur frd hw u like

WriterX:
Hey listen, first of all Rest in peace to the deceased, its thought of you to want to do such for the deceased, he must have been quite close to you and your circle of friends.

Listen here is my advice considering burial is quite a sensitive or over sensitive thing in this part but overall

1. Kindly Respect The Wishes of Your friend's family, since he is no more, his family represents him closely. Respecting the family is also respecting him. Also remember, your actions will also show the kind of friends he kept around, people will judge him and his family from what they see and hear on that day, there is enough grief for them and I am sure your well felt and kind hearted gesture can be carried out in a way that satisfies you all.

2. You can decide to throw your own private get together after the main thing has been done, you can discuss with the family to help ensure the plan can be merged to profit you both. I think there may be a way for both your plans to coexist and fulfill all purposes, think and be creative.

3. You honor his family is you also honoring him, Don't threaten the family with your support withdrawal I do plead on that course, There is going to be a lot of emotions on that day Sir, I watched my dad grow old and sick and his last days in the hospital bed before his death and burial.

See it's no easy thing to see someone you love as a family or friend die.

But Show Honor and Respect To Your Friend and His Family. I leave you with this quote i made up

"The only time we know who really are family are those who stood by us in life and after death."

Thanks.

Dem tell u say na for their family house
The guy is from north west but reside in Abuja
Una can behave lik say Na Una lik person pass and deep inside Na Una wicked pass
So he friends no fit organized party as a remembrance for field ?

shortgun:
All of una for this thread dey ment, we will go ahead with a proper wake keeping for our late friend, that's what he would have wanted. We will use another venue if the family members continues to be unreasonable.
We don go plenty wake keeping together with him , his own won't be different

Villa12:
you be Animal. Celebrate your friend when he/she is still alive

Lance008:

Na u be the biggest animal
All this mak u Dey talk no count
The only way to remember the dead is to celebrate is life well spent on earth

shortgun:

If we want to act insensitive we will all be in our houses and enjoy sleep for the night. Do you think it's easy to abandon the comfort of our homes to spend the night outside for our late friend.
None of the family members knows our friend more than we do.
His immediate elder brother has given us go ahead to hold the wake keep, every other of his relatives can go and die

Villa12:
you're lucky i am not one of your late friend family. You and your friends will be locked up and investigated. You're responsible for his death. Nobody can stop me, not even my father, mother, elder brother, elder sister. Nobody! Useless friends

Keyboard king Kong
If you see me for real life you go evaporate
Locked up for what crime exactly?
You watch too much nollywood don't confuse the movie world with reality.

shortgun:

His family members are wrong. Do you think we lack places to have fun if it's fun that's our interest in the wake keep?
Personally, I can hire a dj to perform for me 365 days in a year so make una rest abeg.
Our late friend deserves the best he can get in his funeral and we as his friends are willing to make it happen.
BTW, his immediate elder brother has given us the go ahead to hold a proper befitting wake keep for him so every other mf can go n rot in in hell

the last time i checked, you're not on Forbes list even with your dirty money. I go lock all of una up until investigation is done. Na una kill that friend.

People who were no where near the scene of a motor accident will be investigated and locked up for causing the accident?
Irrational beings exhibiting irrationality, such as yourself should be restrained in a cage to mitigate the harmful impact of your nonsensical ideologies on others.
Nonsense
