Enugu: When A Man’s Father Dies He Must Buy A Horse And Slaughter It. by tamme: 8:47pm On Apr 16, 2009 |
The skull and tail are then hung in their compound. Village life in eastern Nigeria is governed by cultural practices. In Chijioke’s part of Enugu State, when a man’s father dies he must buy a horse and slaughter it. The skull and tail are then hung in their compound. Chijioke’s father died two years ago. “No-one can say that I did not honour my father in the right way," he says proudly. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/shared/spl/hi/picture_gallery/08/africa_nigerian_palm_oil/html/5.stm

So what? What is the difference between a horse and a cow? |
Re: Enugu: When A Man’s Father Dies He Must Buy A Horse And Slaughter It. by dae(f): 9:56pm On Apr 16, 2009 |
ummmm, are u really asking that question? cos speaking from what i was taught in kindergarten, there is a HUGE difference btw a horse and a cow. A horse is that tall animal u ride , and a cow is that BIG fat animal , which is the meat which you eat most of the time, |

do you know how much a horse cost? more than two hundred thousand naira are there horses in the east? |
Re: Enugu: When A Man’s Father Dies He Must Buy A Horse And Slaughter It. by Nobody: 10:17pm On Apr 16, 2009 |
tamme: So is the cost the problem? Let those who can afford it buy it and kill it. In Nigeria where human lives are not even valued you are here talking about a stupid horse? Set your priority straight. |

That's not the issue. Look at the pictures and information about Malaysia, a country that improted palm fruits from Nigeria and then into a goldmine for their country. |

So that was all you could extract from the whole documentary?. Horses cost less than cows as long as their sizes are equal. The igbo cow is the most expensive and that is what you are expected to kill for your father or father in law if you married his first daughter [ada]. It's a pagan practice and Chijoke's dad must have been a pagan while alive. What is wrong about it if you have the money as long as it's not against your faith?. Christians in the east are mandated by the church especially roman catholics to serve sandwich in funerals but they defy the other most times and spend lavishly. When my grandfather died, he was a christian yet we killed up to 5 cows and a horse during his burial. It depends on what you can afford and I think it's poverty that is disturbing you. If you don't have money, nobody is killing you buster. |

In the 1960s an attempt was made to build large-scale plantations for oil palms in Nigeria, but they have all failed. Malaysia oil, I bet it was taken from the east |

This culture of wastefulness is truly disgusting. |
Re: Enugu: When A Man’s Father Dies He Must Buy A Horse And Slaughter It. by AloyEmeka9: 1:06pm On Apr 18, 2009 |
would be better if the horse were stabled and bred instead of killed.If you want to be a horse breeder, why not go buy colts and breed them?. Will it also be better if we breed the cows instead of killing them?. If you can afford it, do it chikena! |

Re: Enugu: When A Man’s Father Dies He Must Buy A Horse And Slaughter It. by romeo(m): 7:02pm On Apr 21, 2009 |
What a very misleading topic!! It's not a must. If you have money u can do a lavish funeral and if you don't have money u can simply put the dead 6 feet under and case closed. And what is wrong in killing a horse for the funeral? Michelin my dear people eat horse, not only in Nigeria but here in Spain too. Maybe in your location too maybe, but i am not sure about that. |
Re: Enugu: When A Man’s Father Dies He Must Buy A Horse And Slaughter It. by udezue(m): 7:15pm On Apr 21, 2009 |
