RIP girl

Burying someone that drown besides the water bodies is just superstition, the proponents won't give any cogent reasons if probed. Will it stop future occurrences, absolutely NO!

Someone that drown in ocean, where will they be buried?

ukaface:
that's what makes it AFRICA.

WakeNbaked:

It is not, you were talking about burial close to the river.

Xavfra:
No vex, abeg gist me the story of the oke afa

kozmokaz:
Growing up I was made to believe that of someone dies by drowning, they will have to bury him/her near the water ? How true is this ?

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?

Those arguing, you know more than the Lagos State Government abi?

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".

MrMcJay:


Okay. Why were Jews buried in tombs back in the day? Even Jesus was buried in a tomb. Why was that so?
