Truth is that burial of love one in eastern part of Nigeria is expensive and I keep wondering how will people that are not financially capable cope.

We buried my late mom in 2024,and the demands that each village groups and even the church,CWO were demanding was atrocious. All this demands runs into millions of naira and this is apart from the foods and drinks you will serve them on that day and when the ceremony ends the money these groups will contribute to your family is peanut.

Thank God, we gave them what they want and everyone of them ate and drank to their fill without no complain.

All and all, anyone who wants to bury their love should do so according to their means not imposing so much demands all in the name of tradition.

A Nigerian man has ignited conversations on social media after revealing the list of items his family was asked to provide by one of his village groups following the death of his mother.

The man, Emeka Nobis, disclosed that he and his brother recently attended meetings in their mother's village as part of the traditional burial process. According to him, they met separately with three groups: the Umunna (men of the kindred), Umuada (women of the kindred), and Alurudi (women married into the kindred).

He explained that each group presented its own set of requirements before the burial rites could proceed. Nobis shared one of the lists online, showing numerous food items and refreshments expected to be provided for members of the group.

The post quickly attracted widespread reactions, with many Nigerians questioning why grieving families should face such financial obligations while mourning the loss of a loved one.

Reflecting on the experience, Nobis revealed that his mother died at the age of 71 after a prolonged battle with cancer that had already cost the family millions of naira in medical expenses. Because of her age, he said she was classified under the highest burial category in his community, with the family also expected to provide a cow as part of the traditional rites.

Despite the demands, he said he and his brother have chosen to approach the discussions calmly while engaging community leaders in constructive conversations.

Sharing the reason behind making the experience public, Nobis wrote that he wanted to document the realities of traditional burial practices in his part of Igboland, prepare others who may one day go through a similar process, and encourage conversations about reforming customs that place heavy financial burdens on bereaved families.

"Culture can be modified. It's left to us to challenge these practices as years go by. I'm pretty sure that it definitely will happen," he wrote.

His post has since sparked a broader debate online, with many arguing that some traditional burial practices should be reviewed to reduce the financial and emotional burden on grieving families, while others maintained that cultural customs should be preserved but adapted to reflect present-day economic realities.

See the kind of judicial anarchy, impunity and rascality a nation is being subjected to because of desperate tyrants.

Wow! He got 1 or 2 questions wrong but got the rest right. Overall I'm very impressed with his knowledge of Nigerian history covering that period.
I'm sure if you gave this same general knowledge quiz on Nigerian history to most of our civil servants or politicians, they will fail in flying colours.

A female NYSC corps member has gone viral after claiming that her Place of Primary Assignment (PPA) rejected her because of her body size.

In a short video, the corps member does not speak. Instead, she shares her experience through a caption displayed on the screen while emotional background music plays throughout the clip.

In the caption, she describes the experience as heartbreaking, saying she never expected to face discrimination in a program designed to promote national unity. She added that her ability to serve and succeed should never be judged by her appearance.

The video has since sparked mixed reactions online. While many sympathized with her and called for an investigation into the alleged incident, others argued that body size alone may not have been the reason for the reported rejection, suggesting there could be more to the story. Some also encouraged her to focus on improving her health through regular exercise.

As of now, there has been no official confirmation explaining the alleged rejection.

A student can not find love with a lecturer because in most universities the lecturers are over 55 years old while the students are mostly 18 - 28 years old...

it is not about what is disgusting...

there are offenses called exploitation, abuse of authority, extortion, kidnapping, rape.. e.t.c.

that the lecturer had a student locked in an office can lead to a kidnapping offense..

JomoGbomo2:
One of the major reasons why this Plateau/Benue herder crisis is persistent till now is because the problem has never been properly defined; as long as it is defined as Muslims/Christian crises; it will never be solved…..it’s like in mathematics; once you don’t define “x” properly; you can’t solve the equation….you may even get a answer if you are a good manipulator but it will be a wrong answer.

This issue is a farmers Vs herder problem; (not Muslims vs Christian), the solutions should be drawn from this perspective. It has been going on for more than 40yrs now and until it is properly defined and addressed for what it is; the cycle will continue

Minor or not, it is forbidden for a teacher (lecturer, HOD, faculty officers) to have intimacy with students(learners), according to the laws of the NUC.

The APC is sending out the message that as long as you profess to stand on the mandate, you can get literally get away with murder. This is no way to govern a country. Murder/homicide is a federal crime. It is the responsibility of the Nigerian state to ensure justice is done. This is whether the family of the victim wants it or not.

It is an open secret that there are outside Islamic jihadists collaborators aiding and abetting terrorism in Nigeria and their sole aim is to establish Islamic government in Nigeria like Taliban in Afghanistan or at least parallel authority like hesboulah in Lebanon or Hamas in Gaza, but in Nigeria it is DOA.
