Why did they have to bury her beside the canal.
To me it's totally disrespectful.
Asides that it's not environmentally friendly to bury a corpse indiscrimately besides a waterway.
Her home or a designated burial ground would have done more honor to this girl.

It's is better staying put somewhere during rainy season. Running errands, visiting, loitering, site seeing or wandering in flooded areas and places with canals is risky. But every year we always hear news like this

Keep blowing grammar. In 2001, Lagos State Government and the FG buried those who drowned in the canal just beside the canal.

If you think I'm lying, check Google and you would see pictures.

That is no different than saying that men pay bride price.
It doesn't mean they must, it is just a relic of the past.

that was a govt decision to honour the souls of the multitude who died... not the decision of community leaders


MrMcJay:


Very true.
Do you know that the bodies of more than 1,200 people who drowned in the Oke Afa canal in 2001 were buried just beside the canal?

Honour? I laugh.

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.

Even Fela who was an atheist sang about it in his song "Water no get enemy".

funny though
So the flood that caused her death was probably as a result of not burying a particular body too close to a canal?

Sorry for asking so much questions, I'm just curious

Travelling is part of education. When you travel and you see the same in other parts of the world, you'll be better enlightened.
