Wife of Late sage, Obafemi Awolowo, Mrs H.I.D Awolowo who died on September 19th, will be buried on November 25th in a white damask cloth she bought and kept for this purpose 36 years ago. Her daughter, Reverend (Mrs) Tola Oyediran, revealed this, saying

“Mama in her unique way had kept a white damask to be laid in her casket whenever she died since the day she stopped her fabric sales business. And if I am not mistaken, I think she stopped selling fabrics around 1979; meaning that since then, she had kept that damask for that purpose. That is her wish and it will be like that.”she said

Oyediran also revealed that Mama will be buried in a gold casket which will be brought in from the United States of America. She will be buried beside her husband inside the Awolowo mausoleum in the family compound in Okenne, Ogun state.

Rest in peace Ma'am.

Gold Casket? Why is the daughter even saying all this? some jobless thief might think it is real Gold and want a slice of the Casket.

Gold Casket, Bamboo Casket, Wrapper Casket, Mat Casket, No Casket, it does not matter.

Up there at the Gate of Heaven, it is equal treatment.

HungerBAD:
Rest in peace Ma'am.

Gold Casket ?

In this bad economy ?

Owk,they should also remember to bury her in a discreet place cos some business thrive on retrieving valuables from the dead, make e no be say mama go sleep ontop floor last last.

life is vain! Being buried in a gold casket or wearing a damask before burial will not restore her life or follow her to afterlife, all earthly apparatuses and objects end here and never transit to that place.
as an elderly woman tagged to be cultured she ought to have known better than buying materials for her burial rather than being steadfast to virtue and good deeds known to bring peace, delight and enjoyment to the dead.
it gets my ire up whenever so-called intelligentsia behave with so much feeble-mindedness and slow-wittedness, and for her daughter to assert her mother's purchase of the items make the matter worse.
Shalom aleichem, tho.
