in a funeral, the priest after the sermon asked the pew if there was anything nice to say about the deceased, everyone looked down staring at the lace of their shoes; the priest later said " common guys at least anything good about him even if it is a sentence" then a man at the back seat shouted "His brother was worse" grin grin 2 Likes |

That's human being for you. I even thought many IPOB would have turn billionaire after the death of Abba Kyari (RIP) cos many of them.believed he was the cabal in Aso Rock that hindered their progress and success. The man is gone but they are still crying and wailing. Rest in peace to the death. |

hisgrace090: Nice talk. After the death of a guy I knew, it got me thinking about the lots of good words I could have said about him. I decided to praise my friends there and then, telling each one what I like about them the next time I saw them. I'm not waiting for anyone to die before I say those good words. It will only do them good when they are alive to hear it. 5 Likes 1 Share |

I remember that year I failed an exam, I carry over no shaking. I went to the lecturer , I said " sir I didn't fail your exam, maybe you don't know me but I know you" I called his village I called people in his village. Baba say ooooh why didn't you come to see me, what's your name again. I told him, he check ..."actually you didn't fail but why didn't you come see me. I said no problem, just retrieve from faculty and remark the script. Baba say he no fit sey I'm go enter trouble. One year later I wrote exam, after exam I put #500 inside envelope give lecturer. He called me to come to his house. On getting to his house he said I should make corrections so I get a good grade, I told him, I know I passed and even a C is good enough so I won't cheat to get better grade. Baba die that year. I didn't have anything good to say about him. People called me a bad person for speaking Ill of the dead. I have no remorse. 1 Like |

Normally, I think we say good things about the deceased simply because we don't want people to say trash about us when u re gone too. Everyone has a dark side but we keep it away from the owner especially on the occasion of death.... imagine people sayingto the hearing of ur children that u re such stingy, wicked, heartless human being and so many things like that.....it doesn't sound good. Who Don die Don die.....say good or bad, deadi body no get issue with you 1 Like |

The worst was when i attended a girl's funeral in lagos. The girl was a well-known weed smoker, i wount be surprised if she was taking coke as well. Infact she died in an accident while coming back from a notorious night party. And the whole story changed when we went for the church service at CMS Lagos. The pastor who i'm sure didnt know the girl, but knew her parents lied smoothly all through. As if he was elogising an angel. The worst was when he looked up and announced "i can see xyz in heaven". I say na lie. If heaven and hell exists, that girl will be comfortably sitting in hell smoking weed with the devil. 3 Likes |

soundOsonic: Beyond the grave all you have is memory of life spent. In that world there's comfort and agony, depending on how the spirit lived. People saying good things about one in death brings joy and comfort to the spirit, regardless of how badly and vainly the spirit lived in its sojourning on earth. So when they say rest in peace, peace is indeed given to the dead because the dead lives. While it may not completely alleviate the pain, it does give a sense of love to the spirit, that love triumphs the pains he could feel. To gain more understanding about what I'm talking about read The Spirits Book. |

Because humans are hypocritical confused eye-serving creatures. They know the dead can not come and ask for them for anything so they show "love" |

Wait which one should be hard talking bad against the death or praising/lying on the death which pastors are the first to give testimonies I think death or not we should all speak truth so that who are present should learn from it |
