Will you shut up?

First of all find out what "asoebi" means and where it originated from. I am a Yoruba woman and we love our asoebi, even for burials. That's how you differentiate the family from guests.

Please educate yourself and shift.
as if others don't join in picking the aso ebi? Poverty has destroyed your brain ode

Brochures are good for memories and pictures

But for aso-ebi, I agree with you

Though it's a means of raising funds not creating expenses

Nice one kiss

Even though since there is no Brochure/Table of events, how do people like me who attend burials mainly for the food know when 'Item 7' is due so that we can plan our gatecrashing accordingly?


Nowadays refreshment is no longer item7, sometimes e dey reach item12.

don't you feel if they make it optional its still be the same as before..... people who do not have would go out of their way to make the asoebi available. so their family don't seem like the poorest, which is exactly what the Church is trying to halt. But I feel asoebi is a traditional thing, so not in the place of the Church to stop or allow
Re: Anglican Church Bans Use Of Brochure, Asoebi At Funerals by fredie107(m): 12:42pm On Dec 09, 2019
Unnecessary Expenses!

The questions is: do we really need to spend money for burial aside transporting the corps and purchasing a coffin.

Good move.
Peoples go and borrow money to give their dead "deserving burial".
They might not even take good care of the person when alive.

Burial in Islam is easy.

I attended a funeral at Anambra where the presiding Bishop insisted that the funeral brochure will not be used for the Requiem Mass despite protestation from some family members. The Church distributed its own Order of Service which was returned after Church service. The brochure had to be distributed outside the church venue.
As per Asoebi, that one would be hard to implement in the South West cheesy

But the sad reality is that when the deceased was alive and needed help many of those spending money on funeral will not lend a helping hand to keep him/her alive

You are right.


Catholic Diocese of Awka has banned it since 2017.

There is Burial prayer book used by Catholics. They are in Churches too.

Printing of brochure etc are frivolities in my opinion.

Anglicans are welcome to join in stopping the frivolities in burial

What concerns the church with the burial.
Their own na to come bury person then go and leave the rest for the mourners.
This is absolutely rubbish.

Brochures are not meant to be used in the church, people will be watching pictures while mass or service is going on.

Good move.
It might interest you guys to know that kidnappers and armed robbers also use burial brochures to mark their targets.

They read it and know who's doing well(rich) in a family and who's not. Also where they live.

Have any verified instances happened?

This is disturbing.

Re: Anglican Church Bans Use Of Brochure, Asoebi At Funerals by Obec70(m): 6:44pm On Dec 09, 2019
Would they put a stop to money spent in church before a member will be buried? Request of different kinds of food been requested by various groups in the church? Categories of clergy & their settlements? Outing Thanksgiving demands or even raising fund not even for the deceased family? Kinds of drinks that filled everywhere like nwugo market were drinks are sold? Also demands by the deceased family or relatives? What of money spent in mortuary /casket? Brochure & Asobi abi ashebi are there the most costly expenses in burials? Please I need answers from Diocese on the Niger Anglican Church!

Good but let you people also put an end to the money been paid as a result of so called money owed by a member before his death.
I was told that before a member is buried his or her monetary debts must be cleared (paid off).

Yes it's very compulsory. Even as a Muslim, paying of debts is the first thing to do for your deceased. It's GOD law not man made

It's useless making people run into debts and running into debt yourself because you want to throw a society party.

Weddings should be next.

Aidejay:
cause yorubas are the only ones that print brochure and buy "aso ebi"…?
The people who would be unhappy are brochure printers/designers, tailors and aso ebi merchants.
There is nothing wrong with using brochure. It allows people to pay tribute to the dead, in writing.

The initial pages often contain the order of service, prayers and hymns which allows the congregation to follow the proceedings. It also contains a biography of the deceased and how he lived his personal life.

Such brochures often hold fond memories for family members and close associates.

For example, I had to educate some of my younger cousins about their grandmother' recently, by sending them an old copy of the brochure used for their grandma's funeral.

They lived abroad and never got to know her well..

Aso-ebi does not have to be expensive. And it is not forced on anybody. There is Ankara of less than 2k. Anybody can select that one and use it.

The children of the deceased often wear the same cloth, in order to identify themselves, and bond together.

Later this Anglican Diocese on the Niger will say husband and wife should not wear the same material.

Let them abolish the money that their members pay during harvest and bazzars.

Thank you, o! Even brochures does not have to be expensive. It depends on the kind of paper used for the event and how many pages are included.
