Nigerians In Diaspora: Where Do You Want To Be Buried?

As usual, another topic from me that is bound to get some eye brows dancing 

So, unless you just arrived from naija yesterday, I am sure that you have, when in company of your friends at one point or the other, either talked about what someone you know went through (loans, putting job in jeopardy, etc) in order to send a corpse home OR you have been thinking of whether or not you would want to burden your immediate family with sending your corpse home, especially for such families where the last time they went home was probably before/after the civil war (joke).

So, this begs the question: If you are in the diaspora, where do you want to be buried?

Me? Though I go home regularly, I still feel that sense of "sure you come, but you are no longer one of us" whenever I go.  All the people I grew up with have grown up and moved on.  Why put my family through the ordeal of people doing everything to get what they can while they can, etc?   So, if they want to send my corpse home, that's up to them.  Otherwise, I will be glad to buried in the states.

This topic should generate a lot of interesting answers 

my father's compound at Nnewi straight

no shaking, e go be

ilishan-remo, ogun state 9ja

I want my corpse to be cremated. My family can do whatever they want with the ashes, but I refuse to have my body rot.

@ dolly i think de question was would you want your body air lifter home or buried hear abroad

@ IBB your rhyme was wack

I think i would prefer to be buried backhome in my village, after all i was born there

@JosBoy

tell that to Jadakiss and maybe Ja Rule might just do a remix of the song New York.

perv!!

will you get angry if are not buried where u want?      >dead<

that was thotful for a crazy kid

u welcome.

Thats the main point; where u spend your eternity .

But for me the physical resting place doesnt really matter

i think it matters where u are buried!

when soldiers die in iraq ! they flown back to US the same with british soldiers!

emm yea its time nigerians should value themselves if we have to shine ! till then no time for faking emmm ,

I'll prefer to be cremated and my ash scattered. I detest the sight of valuable real estate converted into useless cemetery, especially for the dead who don't give a f*ck wether they're buried in a mausoleum or left on the street to rot.

Shokoloko,you say you no go die? how your own be ? ABI YOU NA GOD???

Thats not true. Since we all can't avoid death (old or young), we might as well talk about it. Infact, its in your best interest and that of your family to discuss death now. It will save lots of he said, she said (as regard the topic of discuss)when you're gone. As for me, let them bury me anywhere they want.

What do you guys think about people that still bury their loved ones at the back/front of their house in Nigerian villages? Is that tradition still necessary in a 21st century world?

Ain't nothing wrong with that. wouldn't it be better to have a cemetery in villages for that? My point is, burying people in villages without control makes it easier for people to commit murder, bury the body and get away with it. In the event the police dug up a body, i can always say thats where my grand dad was buried.

josboy4life,this your analysis abt cemetry tooo much oooooooooo ABI YOU DON WORK 4 CEMETRY BEFORE
