gosh - if the wife does not want to attend that is her biz - there are some people in my life that i wouldn't even loose s second of sleep over if i heard they had died, and i also wouldn't attend their funeral

akpu nku: i am an Igbo, i don't know about other tribes but here i don't think there is an amount of 'wrong doings' that will make a wife to skip the husband's burial, else her life is being hunted at the village.

This goes a long way to explain the kind of wife she has been. I don't know them, infact i have to use google to come up to speed of who he was. But the wife has a hard mind and as someone said, her type can be very bossy. My mum wont do that and my fiance will not either...

Advice# marry someone with the heart of gold and not the face of gold, #justanadvice

pushkin: I was in total shock yesterday at the airport when the late levi Ajuonuma's wife (JOsephine Ajuonuma) refused to go & bury her husband.
It was a shocking scene to behold. Can you imagine her & her 4 kids didn't go to bury him, it was only her step kids that took their father's corpse for burial. What kind of a woman would refuse to bury her husband?

You are not by chance, any chance at all, have anything in-commom with Kobokunkie, in "any way".......as in "lonley old Hag?

Lastpage!

debrief08: I know them from a distance, He was rude, disrespectful to her, flaunted his affiars to her face, degraded her in front of people, even when he died she showed no emotions, some friends of her said she had already been living like a widow even before he died. Toh when people stay in situations that are clearly dead and refuse to leave this is what you get.
Anyway, she for pretend to be grieving widow like most Nigerian women would do

cotton101:

huh wtf are u on about.

lastpage abeg i don't like arguing with people - and u have a different mindset from me and anyone I know on a personal level - but stop putting women in a box. trust me u are not God, if your suggesting i cry crocodile tears for a man that doesn't know his own childs full name so that i can be considered a good woman then let people call me evil for not giving a rats a/rse if he should quench tomorrow.

#back to topic - only this woman and GOD know what she went thru and why (according to the "good friend" poster) did not attend the burial of her late husband.

debrief08:
You had your answers, so why bother ask the question? Lol. Na their business sha. If you are unhappy with a situation leave dont stay and let it get to this level. I would attend the burial of someone i dont even talk to not to talk about the father of my kids and my partner for years. only God knows how much they must have hurt each other to carry the hate to the grave

Mrs mansson: My late father was close to the likes of Levi but my mum still attended his burial although he didnt have any kids apart from us.Well no matter how wicked the man was to her thats not enough to skip his burial.dats the Last reapect u pay to the dead.my mum actually cried in his burial not because she was going to miss him(she was already living like one witout a husband) but because of the kind of life he lived.

pushkin: His wife was & is still very bossy. That's why She didn't bother to come for his burial & didn't care what anyone said.debrief u knew dem from a distance[b] but I know dem one on one. Am extremely close to livi & his kids so you too get ur facts right[/b]

betrani: so strange! And d marriage survived that long? I wonder y d decided to live like a cat and a mouse under d same roof!

Kobojunkie:

How did you deduce this one? Where do you people come from for pete's sake?

She decides to skip his funeral means she has not forgiven him? What the frell does that even mean? [b]So, suddenly there exists a rule that when a person dies, you MUST attend? [/b]Pray tell, where is this rule written?

redsun:

U sound like you hate your father too.You seems to be saying this without emotions.

Who is this levi ajounuma,anyway?Going by what his name,"ajuonuma" means in igbo,i dont think he really cares.Apart from that,he is daed and gone,nothing means anything to him anymore.

Bear your grudges with the living and show your love also to the living.Which ever way suits you,do it while the person is still alive,not stone dead

yam:

EVEN U BRUTUS

ok, u tik u are wise abi, before the this time next week, if i dont get on all ur details information.just watch out readers column on Punch and oda social sites.

debrief08:
He was the rude spokesperson of NNPC who was always quick to abuse Nigerians who opposed any Government policy. Before that he was a struggling Journalist who had a programme on NTS dedicated to arselicking OBJ, OBJ made him GMD Public relations at NNPC, na there Character show. Rude and Lousy is an understatement, If he could be that rude to 150million Nigerians, I wonder how he must have related with the woman who stood by him in his days as a struggling reporter, only to repay her with affairs and step kids.
For those asking why pretend? I hope next time when people come and tell you that they feel unhappy and trapped in a bad marriage you wont tell them "Divorce is not an options" le them stay and keep breeding hate, hurt and unforgiveness.
The article shows she was at the service of Songs in Lagos not the burial in Edo

Kobojunkie:

What does that change in what I have posted?

redsun:

What killed the ?He was a rogue like average nigerians leaders/elite and rogues are rogues,even down to family units.A man that cannot love his close ones,cannot love the public and vice versa.

OMO IBO: Threadstarter, people like you should be hung by the cl1tor1s to a ceiling fan in motion.

So this is how you air people you are supposedly close to in public. Right??

I mean, you actually want nairalanders to discuss levi ajuonuma and his wife on the pages of nairaland. And you say you know them 'one on one'. Seriously, you are a knobhead.

Mrs mansson: My late father was close to the likes of Levi but my mum still attended his burial although he didnt have any kids apart from us.Well no matter how wicked the man was to her thats not enough to skip his burial.dats the Last reapect u pay to the dead.my mum actually cried in his burial not because she was going to miss him(she was already living like one witout a husband) but because of the kind of life he lived.

whatelsedo: @op I can't help but reply to your post
I would advice you strongly to keep off other people' s business. People like you that call yourself insiders are the cause of many broken homes today.

You sit outside and judge people based on your wacked up societal beliefs and cracked mindsets mingled with your crazy beliefs of what a woman should do and not do.

I am really pissed off cos I am a widow myself and I had to contend with stupid insinuations from people like you who did not understand the first thing about the marriage.

If she truly chose not to attend, good for her, maybe she has not come to a state of true forgiveness. Forgiving a spouse that was been brutal to you takes a kind of strength only God can give and she alone has the choice on the length of time its going to take to achieve that.

ADViCE: face your life and leave the woman alone, she already has enough issues to last her a lifetime.

AB$I:
and yu are an arse and a tombstone-yu megafull

d1010: Debrief08 you are a jobless fool. Get you facts right before you open that gutter you call mouth to speak. For one he isn't even from Edo state.

mediainspired: I think those trying to hang d op for putting dis up here by using crude &uncouth words shuld slow down. Don't try to usurp God's role by being judgemental. Same for those arguing in circles. I believe d op is just trying to remind us dat LIFE IS TRANSCIENT &NO ONE SHULD LIVE AS IF THEY HAV A PATENT RIGHT TO IT. Life is a gift 4rm God &we all shuld use it well. If u live right,& @peace wit God &man (ur family, neighbours etc) or u decide to be cold &wicked, u're not REALLY doing anyone a favor or disservice. There is an after-life &we shuld all ponder on it, esp @funerals... EVERYONE U KNOW DAT HAS DIED IS EITHER IN HEAVEN OR HELL. Think about it.
