Ernest Shonekan Buried In ₦30 Million Vault, ₦8 Million Casket by Gemid94(op): 10:50pm On Feb 05, 2022
Former Head of the Interim National Government (ING) Ernest Shonekan was on Friday buried in an over N30 million vault in Lagos.

Temitope Alebiosu, a staff member of Ebony Vaults, Ikoyi, the funeral company that handled the ceremony, informed The ICIR in a telephone interview that the cost of the vault was above N30 million.

But she did not disclose the exact cost.

When asked about the cost of the casket, she said it was in the range of N8 million.

Another staff of Ebony Vaults, Tunde Babalola, told The ICIR that the cost of vaults in the premium category ranged from N30 million and above.

Babalola refused to state the exact cost of the vault Shonekan was buried in, but he pointed out that it was specially customised for the family.

“The one we used for Shonekan, something similar can be in the range of N45 million to N50 million depending on which one someone wants. The premium cost is between N30 and N35 million,” he said.

Shonekan died in January in Lagos.

Speaking at the funeral service held at the Cathedral Church of Christ, Lagos, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo commended the late leader and said he lived a fulfilled life worthy of emulation.

How many has the cancer killed in your family?

Re: Ernest Shonekan Buried In ₦30 Million Vault, ₦8 Million Casket by Jerryherd:
cool



It's called State Burial, meaning Nigeria sponsored it

Where you expecting him to be buried at Ajangbadi or Oworonsoki

Consider how much a plot of land is sold at Ikoyi, think of cost of hosting a reception befitting a former head of state, think of hall booking, hotel booking for some guest and entourage, think of logistics

And to burst the myth that Muslim burial are not expensive

If a Muslim former head of state dies ;

Preparation of his body would cost money

his Private Jet ambulance to convey his body would cost atleast $15,000

Burial ground in exclusive Ikoyi, Lekki, Abuja would cost millions

8 days fidau and prayers service, they would rent befitting Hall or an Hotel, pay the Alfas and Muslim clerics , Feed all the guest, and offer charitable donations in the Dead Muslims name

All these are money spent, the only difference is cofin

Why, because he wants to islamize your uncle and he refused?


Any Muslim that commits a crime did it for Islam, but others do crime for other reasons, right?
