2horsePOWER:Its a waste of money. There are places in Africa where the mourners come to take everything that the dead left for the family, eat everything that can be eaten and leave the family even more destitute. They are not biblical. God had nothing good to say about dead bodies in the laws of moses. But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead. Matthew:8:22 |

It is useless and baseless. I feel burial is a moment of mourning but instead people eat, drink, dance and laugh. Also majority of our old parents were not taken care of while alive and when they die, those wicked children will spend stupendiously all in the name of burial ceremony. |

is very wrong, if I can't give you ten thousand naira, when you're alive, then I can't spend up to that when you're dead. some people even borrow for burial. |

tayooluwole: I agree with the above... but I have seen.situations where despite having enough, the old folks give an impression of poor upkeep by the children!! an example of a lady who was building a 2storey building whilst seeking help n alms from anybody ready to listen to her "touching" stories, comes to mind. Can you blame the children here:--- when Mama has more in her current account than multiples of their monthly household account needs and she will "dress tatterdly" to evoke emotions of pity and helplessness.!! She still carries on despite several admonishments... who.do you blame?? Lets be careful before rushing to judge!! . 1 Like |

Its very wrong to me aside religious or cultural belief,,,, the dead person did not even want to die in the first place even at age 100" who wan die ...his/her people will pretend and cry for like 30mins the next you will see is "DJ on the beat" , they will start rejoicing as if they ve been for his/her death..... Some will spend to show the community how influential they are but will not show up when the dead is still alive,,,,they will up to 10 cows but the dead cannot afford #500 meat when alive.....some borrow thousands of naira for just funeral but can not borrow to take care of the deceased.... People are full of deceit to the extent that they even deceive the dead that the celebration is meant for him/her but the truth is the celebrant is just glorifying his/herself while the dead is gone and has nothing to gain thereafter..... 1 Like |

The ironic part of it is that they won't take care of the said person before his/her death but after demise they will have a lavish funeral that will be the talk of the town |

First of all, it's strange and mind puzzling for a group of people to be drinking wine and eat the best food untop 50 years individual who untimely passed on. Worst still, some people go far to borrow cash to have a lavish burial ceremony at the expense of the kids left behind by the deceased. Up till now, i am still looking for the sense out of this cultural practice in many African societies |

Most Africans don't understand that a big part of success comes from the way you reason, this affects your spending habits and your financial strength. You lose a loved one? The logical thing is to mourn, not celebrate. Using money to take care of the living to bury the dead. Societal pressure to meet up is a scam. Run at your level, manage well, and you'll be fine. I have a friend who wedded his girlfriend during 6 a.m morning mass, the parents of both parties were there and a few friends and relations not up to eight in number. After this wedding the guy took his girl to a car dealership and bought her a brand new car, they went home, this happened on a Monday morning, on Tuesday the girl was back to work as if nothing happened. The guy is very rich, but the way he goes about his business is something to be emulated. He could have spent the money on elaborate wedding, but instead he chose to make his wife happy with the money. |

even lavish celebration of birthday is also bad..intact I hate anything extravagant ...moderation is the key to everything and common sense is the doorway leading to wisdom..this mainly an African problem..misplaced priority as in almost everything |

2horsePOWER:sometimes they even call it 'celebration of life'...and all kind of hypocritical praises and encomiums following.., some claiming the dead person is already in heaven,sitting at blossom of Abraham!.. I just laughed..how the hell do you know the person is in heaven or al-janna?how?the same bullshit was done and said of my Dad when the fool finally kicked the bucket...how nice he was bla bla bla..me,I just laughed.. I was feeling like Whoopi Goldberg in the Kingdom Comes featuring LL cool j and Cedric tha entertainer as pastor ..always angry and sourly there was hardly anything nice about him!irresponsible and and always shirking his duty.. the type that only know how to sow his cursed wild seed and abandon the mother and child to their fate..!this was supposed to a good Christian ...but like I'm always saying, incorrigible hypocrisy is their bane...Muslim don't have time for bullshit,,, you die,you are bury that same day..anything other thing is absolutely unislamic and tending toward hypocrisy... |
