Onyeka Nwelue: Anyone Who Eats Or Drinks At A Funeral Lacks Conscience by Foreverdope(op): 7:36pm On Nov 26, 2021
Controversial filmmaker has taken to his social media account to shade those who attends funeral to eat or drink.

According to the filmmaker, Nwelue, he claimed that anyone who eats or drinks in a funeral lacks conscience.

Item No. 7, has become a part and parcel of funerals in Africa, and families who organize the burial ceremony for their loved ones factor food and refreshments for their guests.
Reacting to Nwelue’s view, many social media users revealed that taking foods or drinks at a funeral is already a habit Nigerians have formed and would be very hard to stop.

Ụmụada just left the whatsapp group.. Those ones that will even request for a big loaf of bread and tea– amahcah

No mind them to think that people ate amala and goat meat when my Dad died – seweetestmori

No be for Yoruba funeral, nobody go tell you before you drag amala and ewedu – ojuolape866

That’s why I love my Muslim brothers, they have the simplest funerals ever – abujasextoyshop

So we should waste the food? the grieving family will now waste their money cooking food no one would eat. Haaa they won’t like that o – commonmanblog

Some people will eat at a funeral and still carry take away as if they were praying for the person to die – jessicabae2010

I guess the exorbitant high rate of burial expenses in Anambra must have motivated the movie veteran to say this

Anambra do pass others

All dem need na drums of water to wash face,after crying and tissue papers to use wipe face.

Instead of coolers full of rice,soup,eba and meats and serviette to clean mouth.

Only if you are older than the dead. But water is okay.

It all depends on the culture.

Dancing at the Igbo funerals is one of the cultures I appreciate. Maybe also enjoy.

Yoruba eat, drink and also make room for Aso Ebi, depending on the age of the deceased.

Hausa also blow cultural trumpet.

It's a celebration of life for Pete sake, only bad if the deceased is really young.

What if the person lived well and died at a good old age.

EVERYONE in SUB-HARAN Africa lacks conscience including the officiating priests at funerals. grin grin

Onyeka Nwelue likes capping
Re: Onyeka Nwelue: Anyone Who Eats Or Drinks At A Funeral Lacks Conscience by WibusJaga:
huh

Especially after eating food & drinks worth 5k, only to package 100naira inside envelope as offering.
But What pains most people when they lose an aged person is not really the loss but the cost implications of organising a befitting burial. cool

Meanwhile...

Hmm
Re: Onyeka Nwelue: Anyone Who Eats Or Drinks At A Funeral Lacks Conscience by OtemAtum: 9:01pm On Nov 26, 2021
Hmm. This is not true. People who die are going to a peaceful state, so celebrating death is not a bad thing.

In other news, Jehovah, Allah, Moloch and thousands of gods are in a spiritual cage where they are held unconscious by the gods of science for a universal mind evolution to take place. Read the BOOK OF UNIVERSAL HISTORY for details

You can't gather people together for a purpose and not compensate them with any form of refreshments. It's just courtesy.

What I don't like is overdoing parties and running into debt.
