My Dead Friend's Funeral Is Causing Problems by shortgun(m): 10:20am On Apr 09
Tragically we lost a close friend to the cold hands of death who passed away in a ghastly motor accident.

He was in his late thirties to early forties,unmarried, no child, and a Christian from the North west.

In solidarity, we his friends, proposed to hold a formal wake keep for him at his Abuja residence and promptly began the preparation process. This included securing the services of a DJ and arranging refreshments for the gathering.

Certain members of his family objected to the idea of the wake keep, contending that it was inappropriate for us to engage in partying and funfair following the untimely passing of their loved one. They insisted we limit the gathering to just a public address system and a choir to sing, nothing more.

Some of our friends are threatening to hands-off and withdraw their involvement from everything about the funeral including not attending the burial and allow the family members do whatever that pleases them.
Others are of the opinion that we should ignore the family members and go ahead with our plans since we are going to be paying respect to our late friend and not members of his family.

What do you guys think?

Your group of friends sound inconsiderate and DUMB!

A family lost a relatively young man and you hired a DJ to turn his funeral arrangements into a fuckfest.

Be solemn.

What're really your aims and objectives as regards to this ??

You all needs to respect the family decision or take your proposed program elsewhere. The deceased was a Young Man for-God-Sake.

You and your circle of friends must adhere strictly to the wishes and burial instructions from the family members no matter "how much" your circle of friends think they will contribute to the success of the burial, if you guys do otherwise, then the dead young man never had any friend or friends when he was alive.

Is this madness, foolishness or both.
Deceased family insist that they don't want such and y'all dumb skulls are insisting on going ahead with it.
A promising young man died without fulfilling his dreams and you are calling a DJ and planning to make merry.
If I were a member of his family I will blow y'all heads off if you gather.

What nonsense is this?
How old are you people to be thinking like this?

Y'all want to make merry so that you can drink and get high and probably invite some harlots to dance with.

Na wa.....

Nighas been planning to lavish lots of money untop the grave of a young dead nigha, but then again I won't be surprised to later find out that the same nigha didn't get any single help from these nighas when he was alive and struggling to draw breath.......

Well,let the dead rest in peace abeg.........The family is already passing through a traumatic period and wouldn't want such type of show off party untop a young nigha who left the world at an early age...

Rest on

I can't wait to experience these set of youths take over Aso Rock.

Na Dorime and all whatnot go dey happen for inside the rock everyday.

Inconsiderate and self-serving humans.

A bunch of so-called friends seeking to hide under the cloak of keeping wake to mourn a lost friend whereas, their main game is to party, get high, and try to numb themselves from their present realities.

Modified:

Just take a look at the adult baby op's subsequent response below:

All of una for this thread dey ment, we will go ahead with a proper wake keeping for our late friend, that's what he would have wanted. We will use another venue if the family members continues to be unreasonable. angry
We don go plenty wake keeping together with him , his own won't be different



Now, I understand why funerals and wake-keeps is a thing amongst you headless circle of friends.

"Celebrate me, now when I dey alive....." Pato Ranking.

What do you guys even need microphone and speakers for.

I think this is cultural thing anyway. It depends on the custom where you guys come from.

In most places, when a young person passes away, the burial is a solemn affair. Unnecessary noise is avoided.

It is telling that some of his friends are threatening to withdraw just because the family does want noise.
