I have to attend my cousin's graduation ceremony today (for Nursery 2, primary 5, J.SS 3 and SS.3) and that got me thinking about how we waste money on stupid things and yet we all complain....I mean graduation without results/certificates not to talk of the class involved. Aside that, what about the elaborate burial celebration that is fast becoming a normal thing?.... A 50+ adult died and we'll turn the whole town/city upside down in the name of celebrating life. Unwise couples now have to pay debts long after there wedding just in the name of satisfying people and having it the way the society demands(Introduction+Registry+Engagement+Traditional Wed+Bachelor Eve+White Wed+) My question is, what are we celebrating when we can't find a meaning to it and been stupidly wasteful? can we find a biblical basis for all these fivolities? Is it realy part of Nigeria/africa culture?..if yes, isn't that an abuse? pls., don't just read, share your view about this abuse.
