LadySarah:
The danger of a single story. It isn't an igbo thing, it's the wickedness of your family.

When my pops died, my bro was just 18.My fathers elder bro made sure to carry him along.He showed my brother their ancestral lands and how they will share it. my bro wasn't even aware of these lands cos my dad was a very private person. My Uncle was a father to us until his death last yr. He even visited me in the boarding school. He let my bro as young as he was sign for the family.

16 yrs later, my bro gifted him a massive duplex, set up his children. Unfortunately he died last year and we all consponspored his burial.

We felt his death more than the death of our father. There's nothing you say that can separate us and his children.

God bless you.
Your family carried the man along instead of accusing him of your dad's death.

It is very wrong painting the Igboman, and his culture black. Everything has procedure and processes of doing it. No ethnic group or tribe does not have a culture which they are identified with. Cultural practice of tribes might sound weird and alien to strangers but that does not make it totally bad.

See, that lady was faster than her shadow in the scenerio she painted. If I could deduce her wrongs from a story she narrated, how much more when the custodians of this tradition lent in their voices.

She acted wrongly to have hurriedly taken her dad's body to the mortuary without one of his late dad's kinsmen involved in the evacuation of the corpse. Infact, it is a taboo for a woman especially not yet married woman to carry a man's corpse to the mortuary. It could be excusable when done by the man's son or even his married daughter.

When it comes to burying a corpse, the family land automatically becomes a communal land. The kinsmen may stall the burial process if the deceased was owing the community before death or if he committed an act that was sacrilegious to their custom. When a person
is excommunicated amongst his kinsmen during his life time, his family would need to appease the land before his burial.

I believe the lady never invited her dad's kinsmen, even his immediate brothers because they were suspecting that he was killed.

Igbo custom is never the worst.

Thank you

He must feel the same pain he had subjected his victims to as a "Gang Leader" of Awkuzu SARS.

They just wants to convert it to a standard 5 Star restaurant. Mark my word!
