I have notice that some of the things we do in this country in the name of culture and tradition is Causing poor Nigerians more trouble and we need to change.

1. High Cultural cost of marriage.

2. High Cultural cost of burial. A man in my church have not being able to perform the burial rites for his mother because he will at least one million to do it. He is the only child.

3. Transporting dead bodies from the place they died to the village.
No. 2 ... yes
No. 1.... is it really high everywhere? I think it depends on the families.

I was thought culture is people's way of life, allow them to practice their culture since it's not the reason banditry is high and our economy is going down.

Overdue for change... Such backward and wasteful practices!

You wreck people financially just for them to get married.... And further wreck them financially just because they want to bury their dead.

It's this culture of materialism that has made our youths criminals!

In my home town in Enugu, the actual official pride price is only about 4k, Out of the 4k, 3k would be refunded to you the groom, as a gesture that the bride is not for sale... We will tell him to take good care of our daughter!

Any additional expenses is your choice... If you wanna shut the city down or simply go home with your new wife jeje, it's your choice.

Nigeria people do number 1 & 2 by choice. Nobody is forcing anybody to spend something huge on marriage or burial..

Besides that, people love to celebrate the dead more than the living..
you sound so uninformed.

My brother, it's a force oo coz u can not officially marry their daughter if u don't fulfill those rights traditionally, which are fucking expensive.
Re: 3 Cultural Activities That Need To Be Changed In Nigeria by MuMuOnBail: 9:57am On Sep 15, 2022
Marriages should be free

Burials should be like Hausa people own

Transporting dead bodies should be allowed for now, because it pays our police officer better on the high way.

What you fell to realize is that it's common in every part of the world. I bet you a funeral costs more in the US than Nigeria.

I think there's something wrong with us, maybe the hardship
