Only the poor bury their dead in the compound. How many rich guys do you see that bury their dead in mansions in Lekki?

Keep quiet. So Igbo people that buries their love ones at home are poor?

Listen ,we we need to implement a strong institutional system of checks and balance which will close the current loopholes and eradicate massive corruption as currently going on in Nigeria. The loopholes are currently open that's why it's easy for public officer holders to embezzle without repercussion.
judiciary and legislature must be strongly separated in all possible ways .
if most of these are implemented, it wont matter where the governors and president is from? .

do you live in lekki? if you live in lekki , you see a lot of rich people who bury their dead in their compound.

the former governor of Oyo state was buried in his compound. probably you will say he is poor and wretched .... Oponu !

The former Govornor family were given a waiver by the state government to bury him there. In GRA's for example, the dead is not buried there but he was given a waiver by the state government to bury him at his house.

it has become a tradition in Nigeria that most corpses are usually buried in their compound instead of at a public cemetary. burying dead in their compound is bad for real estate business and land laws.

An example of this dilemma is the guy on this thread who was contemplating his family land with is mom's grave in the compound.

spend more energy on how to better the economy and Improve the security of this country.

This is the least of our worries as Nigerians.

For your info...
Personally, I do not wish to be buried outside my compound.

What exactly is your topic? ... your headline says one thing and you want to talk about another? On burial.... is burying the dead in a cemetery African? .. haven't you taken Culture into consideration?... or are you suggesting Africans should adapt Western practices? Since you believe we should be woke and bury our dead in cemeteries then would I be wrong to say you would throw your parents into Nursing Homes when they are no longer productive?... and useless?... just occupying a room in the house which can be better utilized as an Air BNB?... and generate income to pay tax?

The love of money is the root of all evil.

No one has replied my suggestion about compulsory property tax. In Nigeria most people do not pay property tax both for land and house , Once you buy a land and build a house in Nigeria ,it's yours forever, that should not be the case. there must be compulsory property tax. the money will be used to build and maintain roads, street lights, waste removal, etc. Even if the land is empty , the land owner must be paying tax for that land. that will discourage people from fighting over land due to the responsibilities involved. Also, land owners would be encouraged to utilize profit from their land and property , in order to generate profit to maintain the land. For example , a landowner can use their land for agriculture to generate profit.
the bigger the house and amenities and land, the bigger the property tax.

If a land owner or home owner defaults on payment of property tax, the land and house would be seized by the authorities .

Let me give you example, if Michael Jackson's Neverland was in Nigeria, he would not lose it because most Nigerians do not pay income tax, property tax ,sales tax ,etc.

There must also be compulsory insurance for all cars, whether the person is driving the car or not, he or she must pay insurance for that car . that will deter people from buying 10 cars . Also wrongful parking and overloading of vehicles must be heavily fined

we must learn from what other successful countries are doing and do the right thing or we will keep going in circles in the name of backward traditions and culture.

No body will answer ur stupid suggestions oga

Only in third world African countries do people bury the dead in their compound.even south Africa does not practice such . burying of the dead in their compound is bad for real estate.
I have mentioned on my other thread that Nigerian needs real estate land reform. we can not afford the current method if Nigeria will be developed.

In fact , most Nigerians do not pay property tax . and yet you expect roads and street lights and public amenities to be fixed? there needs to be compulsory property tax which will deter people from thinking the land belongs to them forever and therefore burying dead on the land.
people should pay heavy property tax if they want to own a home. if you can't afford property tax then rent an apartment.

What's wrong with you guys, you want to take away people's rights to increase land value. Should people not be allowed to do whatsoever with there property?
You think property tax would save the Nigerian economy?

Who da hell gives a shit about the dead? Just cremate the hell outta their rotten carcasses! It's not as if they would notice.. in India and Pakistan they burn the damm rotten bodies! You people should do the same!


I have already donated the whole of my body to the NHS when i finally dies at the age of 100 after smoking alota weed and drinking gallons of Jack Daniel's whiskey for years, they can keep my dead body when i die..

I’m out almost N1M this year due to this residential burial nonsense.

As for taxes, yes. Let the government plug the loopholes and then start taxing N10K per square feet per year for state real estate taxes. The city and local government can add theirs too.

What happened to other taxes our parents has been paying to the government? We are in the third world countries and we practiced giving our departed aged parents a befitting burial which includes interment of their remains in the house as is the culture of my people or within the compound as deemed essential by family members. Your ideas are great but not practicable in the present state of our nation.

Why I'm not so keen on new taxes is because already, there's huge distrust of government and its policies.

Pension fraud, Grass cutting scandal, Haliburton case, and plenty other instances of theft of the common wealth is rife in our space.

For me, new taxes are just more avenue for govt. functionaries to steal from.

Lets clean our system first, plug those loopholes before pouring more wine in the cask.

I love your view about exploring the property tax to generate more revenue. But I have a counter opinion because, the other taxes collected are either embezzled or squandered by our politicians. People really won't have issues complying with such if there are evidences that the other taxes (VAT, PAYE, Toll Gate, WHT, ETF, etc) collected are judiciously used by the government. We all know that such is not the case in Nigeria. Majority of those taxes are largely embezzled by those in power, rather than deploying them to the development of the society at large.

I will say this, before exploring a new tax law, kindly do well to properly utilize the ones that were previously explored.

Protection of dead people? they are dead!

So you want people to go buy a 6feet piece of land to bury their dead.

Such that after a year or two cemetery attendants already swept the remains and sold the land to someone else.

As good as your opinion might almost sound, its merely an avenue to make billionaires out of these cemetery guys

You might be right but some practices in African countries carry huge cultural significance and may not be easy to abolish for example, masquerades can sometimes constitute a nuisance to the society but would it be easy to abolish? Hell no!

Brownshoe:

well... good luck! I am looking to live to 100, as i said, i can afford to.
