Corpses Now To Be Buried Within 3 Days In S’east- IPOB by Danpotter(m): 8:54am On Aug 27, 2022
The Indigenous People of Biafra(IPOB) has compelled people in the south east to bury their dead ones within 3 days as against longer days spent in committing them to earth.

A statement by the spokesperson of IPOB,Emma Powerful has attributed the problems facing Ndigbo in recent times to the longer days spent before burying their love ones.
Consequently, the group has warned all mortuaries in the south east to abide by the directive even as it has proposed shutting down morgues in the zone.
According to Powerful,he said IPOB has viewed spiritually the problems of Ndigbo and discovered it was caused by this norm. He noted that the new practice negates the ancient culture of Ndigbo where their dead ones were buried within three days.
He said “The global movement and noble family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the command and leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu KANU wish to announce to all Biafrans, friends of Biafra and lovers of Biafra freedom that it is high time Biafrans start burying our dead within three days as it was in ancient times.
“IPOB has gone too deep in the spiritual and finds out that keeping our dead ones for so long is contributing to the major problems of Ndigbo in this present times.
“Our ancestors were burying their dead ones within three days and that is our culture and it helped our ancestors spiritually. Igbos have very rich and spiritually based culture which our ancestors maintained from the beginning of time.
“The present habit of keeping dead bodies more than three days and even months and years in the mortuary have had dire effects on our land and contributed to the spiritual weekness of Igbo Nation and of the entire Biafraland, moral decadence and all manner of evil that have taken root in our land.
” Now that IPOB has come to realise that this alien practice of keeping the dead on land rather than committed to mother earth has had a very negative impact on our people and upon our land. It has therefore become very imparative to urge our people to revert to the old practices that has very positive effect upon our welbeing both spiritually and otherwise. Powerful said.

Given further explanation Powerful said “After some thorough investigation we have come to the realization that all the reasons given by our people which cause the unnecessary delay in burying our dead within a short period are neither cogent nor important enough.
“These reasons are all man-made mostly monetary conditions from the bereaved families, traditional rites, churches and Umunna. Some of these reasons were self imposed while others are just to punish the deasead families and make money from the dead.
“We therefore, beg our people, religious leaders, traditional rulers and mostly the Umunna both men and women to stop tasking bereaved families as a condition before they are allowed to commit their departed loved one to mother earth. Some of our people have turned burial as a carnival and asking families to pay levies or debt for their dead ones is an abomination and must be stopped forthwith.
“As it was in past, bereaved families should be allowed to commit their dead ones to mother earth while a date for the burial ceremony is fixed for a later date as well as whatever levies that need to be collected.
“But using reasons of non payment of burial levies to stockpile dead bodies in the mortuaries is what IPOB don’t want again in our territory. Our people should revert to our old healthy tradition of burying the dead and do the needful at specific times within their reach. He stated.
However, the group has vowed to engage church leaders, town unions and traditional rulers and Umunna on the issue.
“We are advising them to prepare their minds on this clarion call because IPOB will develop strategy of curtaling the excessive use of montuary in our Region. This strategy may include compelling the shut down of so many montuaries littered all over our land. The only dead bodies that can be allowed to stay longer in the mortuary are those in the court or under police investigation.
“Igbos are shrinking in life because we dishonour the dead by keeping dead bodies in mortuaries for too long than necessary in these mortuaries. Any nation, tribe or family that keeps the dead without putting the corpse into the dust is causing a deservice to themselves.
“IPOB has gone too far in our work to restore our dear Nation of Biafra and we cannot loose the opportunity because of unburied people littered in various mortuaries. Some corpses have been left in the montuary for one, two and three years because of self gratification, levies or bills from families, churches and Umunnas.
“We are advising the families, Church Authorities and Umunna to reverse this unhealthy and wicked trend before IPOB begins to implement this new policy. The unburied has turned into zombies and having negative consequences on our peace and survival as a Nation.
“The most disturbing aspect of this practice of keeping dead bodies in mortuaries that is our people who died in other parts of the country even outside the country are brought down to Biafraland and deposited in montuary for months and years before burial

Not Ipob supporter but this is true.corpses should be lowered into the earth as soon as confirmed dead.
Ugwo eji one nwuru anwu bu ili ya.
All these fanfare putting families into unplanned debt should be made away with.

Burials should be attended by the immediate family of the deceased not the unnecessary committees everywhere.

Imagine ppl dragging food in the burial of a young person or someone who actually died of hunger and starvation.
