What about people who drown in Hotel Swimming Pools? What happens to their corpse?

According my great grand father, it is done so in order to prevent future occurrence in any of the family members. That why a river is one of the most dangerous place to take an oath. Their are so many dangerous spirits that are in Rivers

May her soul rest in peace.

Nigeria and Africa general are very superstitious.. They believe if the sacrifice is not made, other members of her family would die by that same means. Thus the sacrifice. I asked this question when I was in owerri, and this was the answer I got. Also she'll be buried close to the river.

What of the blood sacrifice ?. What of the graphic image of a battered man with blood over him, kids are not meant to see that brutality. That's why we have many cases of mass shooters in the west because of these blood of a thing.

So the river goddess is also incharge of swimming pools, drainage systems, canals and flood caused by rainfall?

you said a Yoruba for that matter, it is unislamic mind you. the Islamic Jurisprudence is that what they did is just like shooting gun into a well. arrant nonsense..... it is idol worshiping trace, a good muslim will not do that.

this is a very interesting topic

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un for the poor lady...what an awful way to die

Water is a very spiritual element...both vital and dangerous

But what actually happened? How does one manage to drown because of rain

EzekaUdenee:
babaric

And that was how some fulani allowed their useless cows to climbed a sacred hill of a traditional diety in Ondo State and got struck by heavy thunder and 39 cows were dead, I guess that is babaric too because everything is babaric to you.

If you know it's babaric go without permission and climb the hill in Ijare in Ondo State where those useless cows were struck by thunder then you will understand the meaning of babaric bro.

Pls learn always learn I'm not idol worshipper but when something is a culture so be it and must be respected.

...BECAUSE OF WHAT WE BELIEVE...

In most cultures it’s widely believed that when someone drowned in a river he/she is “collected “ by the river goddess, so it’s now a property of the goddess, so if you want to take back the person’s corpse from her you have to appease her and seek her permission otherwise she will get angry and kill more members of that family holding her property until the corpse is exhumed and returned back to her. Be warned this is not my handwriting oooo, I was told by an elder, so don’t attack me. I don’t even believe in the existence of the so called goddess

Man u should believe in their existence.... The Marine kingdom is as real as the danfo u see in gidi.

It is not religion,it is determined by those burying the corpse.

pool is like ward council .. Atimes most cases are not transferred to the local government Osun goddess is like the local government

dayo229:
My neighbor, a woman was drowned few days ago due to heavy rainfall. Her body was found 3 days later in a near by river across our street.

What surprises me is that when they want bury her, etutu (sacrifice) was performed by osun people (they wore white clothes and in beads). This woman I'm talking about was a Muslim o. She has even gone to Mecca before.

Can anybody here tell me why it is done?

What happens if they don't do the sacrifice and just bury her like that?

Is this peculiar to only Yoruba tribe?

Being a Muslim doesn't mean the person will die as a Muslim, she has died as unbeliever

This is actually wrong, she probably wouldnt have wanted such a burial..

Are they not supposed to bury her according to Islamic rites? How would she get to Janna if shes in the company of mamiwater

Before westernization came, every tribe had their own traditions and culture. OP, ask the elders; they know better

Yeah

With white Houseflies and Mosquitoes I guess.

Jesus is calling you today!
Strive to enter by the narrow door; for many
will seek to enter and will not be able.
Jesus is the way to eternal life; no one comes
to the Father, but by Him.
Repent and accept Jesus today as your
personal Lord and saviour; He will keep you
safe when every other thing fails.
It is very important to make this all important
decision today, and if you have already
accepted Jesus into your life, continue to
follow Jesus all the way.
He will shepherd you so that you find pasture in this life, and also
in the life to come.

Lol, see as you disclaim the thing sharp sharp...

because whoever does that is probably an illitrate

This is true, one happened at my maternal home.
The person was buried at home. It even damaged the road cos the ground broke from the river to the home where the person was buried.

abumeinben:
Osun and you're asking questions.

They worship their river. The river goddess was angry. Nobody comes to her anymore to ask about their people in overseas. They just use phones. So the goddess gave a reminder that she's still there.

They have to beg her not to vex.

You can keep quite and allow people to make reasonable contribution to the discussion. I'm not even Yoruba before you start running your mouth.
