To me, it should be the choice and prerogative of individuals and families to decide how to bury their dead. A governor should not be given such power.
Do I support wasteful and expensive burials? No. But handing such power to a governor is much more dangerous.
I am an advocate for limited power

ShugaSneh:
This same policy should be established in the south west, so as to minimise the rate at which yaríba youths goes to exhume corpse and mining of skulls for money rituals in yaríba land.
Na me talkam

ExtremeDot:
Burial in Enugu state is just too expensive.
Millions of naira just for burial ceremony.

When the corpse is being laid into Earth, na few persons you go see in attendance.

Couple of hours later, during the actual burial ceremony, you see a mammoth crowd from nowhere.

They are not coming to bury the dead. They are coming to eat and drink. Chai.

Obnoxious2001:
Funniest thing is I don't understand shit after I carefully read this stuff.

Aside for blocking road and public display of casket, I no understand anything.

Besides the 2months duration of mortuary is not feasible.
Like them get money Naim dey plan keep the corpse long?

Anyway Na interstate mortuary go gain am

bestman09:

DOA.
Some customs can be modified if they are bad, not just throwing out the baby with the bath water. What is the concern of the legislators concerning ibu ozu nwa ada? So if for example, Governor Soludo loses his mother today, will him give his maternal people N10,000 in the name of ibu ozu nwa ada? Will his friends just condole him with N10,000 or less each?

Burials, (not only in Anambra state) are actually expensive but it has never been mandatory for people to spend millions on burials. Everyone does according to his capability. PLEASE ALLOW THOSE WHO CAN AFFORD IT TO BURY THEIR LOVED ONES THE WAY THEY WANT!

It's not compulsory to do a party for a deceased. If you don't have money, do a 24 hour wake keeping then lay the deceased to rest immediately after the wake keeping.

BoldBrainz:


Well, the governor did not unilaterally decide on it. The bill passed through the House of Assembly which has representatives from all local governments in the state. He only signed it into a law. That's to tell you the new law is a product of the decisions of all power brokers in the state. Any disgruntled Anambra indigene should hold his representative in the HOA for explanations.

Better concentrate on governing
& stop interfering in the cultural practices
of your people..

The cultures have been there for centuries
but your tenure is only 8 years maximum..😑😑😑

mu2sa2:
Instead of all this dancing around, they can easily adopt the tradition where you must bury the dead within 24 hours no matter what. After the burial everyone goes their own way in pursuit of their livehood. Shikena. If you doubt this go to the north to confirm.

Iamzik:


Northerners are mostly Muslims and their religion dies not support elaborate burial. They don't even buy casket

CockPit:


Na very useless burial culture used for extortion.

adecz:





He should start with the expensive
marriage culture of his people, where
it has become impossible to marry
Igbo girls because of the list of items
which goes over 2million Naira and above.

BoldBrainz:


That is, you're saying the death and burial of a loved one can be used as a revenue generating venture? This is easily the most shameful comment I've seen on this issue so far.

BoldBrainz:


Stop misinforming the public! A burial is not a religious affair. So those they cremate in crematoria have no religions?
