Gradually, saniting is returning to every region. Why keep a corpse for months, years all to to prepare for a show called befitting burial? Let the deads breathe jaree..

This Soludo's administration is proving to be the most useless in the South East, alongside that of Mbah of Enugu.

Always majoring in the minor.

Have you been to Enugu state more recently? You just want to talk nonsense

Burial is more important to a clueless governor than security

Tjra:

Coded IGR

Lol...
Better coded IGR.
Multiply N1500 by say 100,000 registered funeral events across the state in a calendar year...
That is N150m injection into the economy.

BlackyOne:
Good one, it is not aesthetic pleasing to see casket traders and builders lining across all roads seeking for the living to sell their product to.

However, I think the right thing to do is to open a designated area/market for all funeral trades.

But is is absolutely fine for canopy renters, chair and table renters, food and wine for funerals , MCs and music providers at funerals to display their wares. Right? It isn't the fault of coffin makers that people die, besides, it wouldn't stop people from dying banning coffin makers.



Yes. I agree with area/market, very good idea ,but Soludo just want a more than 100 years old artisan business like coffin making to end. Is he afraid to die or what?

Odi egwu! Soludo is a clueless man

Calitoscassius:
As much as i agree with you on the unnercerssary waste of money on burials and the 2 months storing of corpses. Soludo is also wrong for tyring to charge 1500 to register deaths and wrong on banning the display of coffins by coffin makers. It isn't their faults people die.

There are so many businesses who supply their commodities to burial ceremonies, from chairs, tables,musics,food, wine to canopies. Why did he not ban them too? Soludo is clueless on this one.

I support the ban on public displays of caskets. Casket sale is a business like other businesses out there. People who indulge in them should rent shops or warehouses where they can arrange their caskets and people can walk in for purchase. It is very discomforting to drive along roads and be seeing different shapes and colours of coffins by the roadsides. Get a shop, arrange your coffins within and put a signpost outside.

As for the burial registration of 1,500 naira, I don't see how that's a problem. If you can spend millions burying a loved one, what's a thousand five to document the burial of your loved one with the relevant government agency?

Please tell us what has changed or happened recently, i am curious to know.

It's better we pretend that we
will not die abi❓

Instead of facing your governance
duties, you are thinking of how to
slow down the business of coffin⚰️⚰️⚰️
makers....

Before white man come sef, na tie we
dey take tie our dead body for inside
cloth ( shroud) and then put inside grave.

In fact, true Christians should emulate
Jesus✝️who was "buried' or interred in
a shroud, not coffin, food for thought🤔🤔🤔🤔

Fuckyoumod:
That's what you get when a Governor is clueless. Misplaced priority.

Nigerians deserve what they get.

1000%
Meanwhile he is failing at his number one responsibility - security of his state citizens.

Nigga44:

If I slap your face, your clan head will feel it in his palace!

Do I have to sleep in Enugu daily to know what's going on? Am I sleeping in Abia to know Otti is delivering governance? Am I currently in Ebonyi to know Nwifuru is doing well? That's how you people defend mediocre leaders then later lament when they're done ruining things.

Oya, remove yourself from my personal space! I hate slow people.

Very inconsequential

It wouldn't be fair banning the display of coffins just because it feels discomforting death is what every human will experience eventually, as i ve asserted earlier every other businesses are allowed to display their wares, every time i drive along Anambra major streets people are blocking the side roads with their wares, from bread sellers,fruit sellers, pure water, even roasting chicken almost in the middle of the road these are very hazzardous to road users and the environment.


Yes. Wealthy people obviously can afford it, but what about the poor who may be struggling financially with the burial of their dead family members, and they are billed 1500 for registrations?

We cannot just ban the display of everything we feel are discomforting

nazicartel:
Nonsense. Are they the ones paying the mortuary bills ?... If you haven't done burial before, you will think it's an easy stuff to xoy

What's difficult in burial? At the end of the day, won't you put the corpse down six foots below the ground? When someone dies, reach out to family members, friends and colleagues, the bereaved gather to discuss the date of the burial and the financial commitments involved. One month is enough to prepare for the burial except you are planning to turn the burial to a show as we watch in nollywood movies.

Apart from the discomfort it brings, it is aesthetically inappropriate for people to display goods by roadsides, whether fruits, vegetables, on-the-spot consumables or even coffins. Any decent metropolis shouldn't have to be burdened with ugly sights as such.

Have you ever heard of the "death certificate"?

Wat if de son of disease is in diaspora, and wanted de best,so u will stop it,if na 100k na small money my Anambra brodas will break de law nd pay double of that nd one tin is certain,so ludo is not going for second tenure

Hello good members of this forum. I hope this message finds you well. My friend has been exploring opportunities in the civil service, and I've heard that having the support of well-connected individuals (not just merit) can be beneficial. Given the network and experience of some members here, I was wondering if any kind hearted might have any link to politicians (or the likes) or advice or guidance on navigating this process. He's frustrated so, he'd greatly value your insights and appreciate any assistance you could provide.

You no say the state or which sector/qualifications e get?
Anyway,shey he fit work for mortuary?

Mubieey:

What has the dead got to do with best burial or not?Hyping what is unnecessary.
What matters most is where will the soul of the dead go?

Good. But what about unidentified corpses or the ones with a serious controversy like a prolonged court case or crime investigation? Mohbad, for example.


[sub]</sub>
Good. But APAMS just left the group chat. I think makers and sellers of caskets should be allowed to display their goods. Should their showrooms now be hidden?

[sub][/sub] Anambra men will use this one to flex money and political muscles. They will obtain the permission and block road to show they are connected. This is a new cash out update for local government authorities.

I rushed the thread thinking that the government is serious not knowing that it is a nonsense law, if the penalty for keeping corpse for more than two months is 100k , a lot of people will willingly break the law and pay the paltry 100k. Soludo need to be more stringent in this law. The only thing Anambra people celebrate is funeral, you hardly hear about any wedding when you live among them, only funeral with coffins being displayed everywhere like Regina celi road in Awka and the other side close to markurdi park in Onitsha, these practices are very disgusting to me particularly.
In my community depositing corpeses in morgues are gradually phasing out as people burry their dead same day . Communities should have a local coffin maker who takes measurements and fabricates a coffin once dead occurs instead of this open displaying of coffins iof ifferent grades and sizes. Everybody who died in a particular community should be buried with same coffin afterall death is an equalizer.

IkeOnyia:
And those who flout the order should be slapped with fine or six months imprisonment. The USA that we all envy for their orderliness and development is advanced because they have laws covering every aspect of their lives from marriage to divorce to approximate treatment of pets to pollution from cars. Nothing is too personal to be subject to regulations. Africans like lawlessness that's why they want to do as they please. Soludo is on point with this.

The US is a legal abberation in the comity of developed countries that is why it has the highest incarceration
rate in the world.
Having absurd laws to guide your personal conduct should only be found in totalitarian or theocratic state.

I think Soludo needs to make law to also ban the use of cars more expensive than 5m while also
banning the building of personal houses with more than 3 rooms so as to reduce the burden on the poor.

SMH

MadamExcellency:
Registration for Burial is N1500. I can't do that. I will sponsor and lead a civil disobedience to get that out of the bill.

Half of the Anambrians are not living in the State let alone know your laws. If the father dies in Lagos or Abia State then Anambra State will force the children to bury him according to their time frame? Raa nsi ebe ahu.

I do not think the law affects Anambra citizens who died outside the state.
But once the corpse is brought back for burial you will have to observe the burial laws of the state.

I agree. It is apauling, i always find it very difficult trying to navigate my way driving along Nkpor/Obosi or Enugu/Onitsha old road as a result of good and wares displayed along the roadsides, some one suggested a special coffin markets/areas similar to spare parts market, electronic or tyre market i think that d be a very good idea

Yes, i have, we register deaths here in England and it is free, the registeration of death are ussually for future and historical references and to mornitor populations.


Talk about discomfort, here in England funeral companies advertise their businesses atleast every 20 minutes on Televisions.

BoldBrainz:


And two months are not enough to put things in place for a burial?

Do you want to build an airport for the dead body? All these flamboyant burial traditions we have down South are just tantamount to wastage of scarce resources. Is it that the corpses buried in 24 hours in the North don't rest in peace?

If I someday get involved in politics and attain a significant position at the state or federal level, I'll put an outright ban on the burial traditions down South. It's stupid and unnecessary.

Wastage of scarce resources really.... someone's private money, when he was hustling for it where were u..... Among all the problems this is the one he deems important, Omo as long as the don't block road or obstruct people...if the want to do carnival is there choice and money....

It's even preferable for funeral homes to hawk their wares and services through television Ads. Not only is it an income spinner for the media houses concerned, it is a classy approach as opposed to sampling coffins by the roadside like corn and pear.

Well, death certificates are not free in Nigeria and they equally serve the same purpose. And with what Soludo has done by requesting that burials be documented, a family will find it easier getting a death certificate in the eventual run because you must have already documented the burial process earlier. All that's to be done in that case is a reconciliation of records, instead of you struggling to remember and present dates and details of when such death and burial occurred.

Something the Prophet, peace be upon him, has advised 1445 years ago.

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Hurry up with the funeral (the dead body), for if it is righteous, you will be taking it forward to what is good; and if it is otherwise, you will be laying evil off your necks."

Alhamdulilah.

Whether it's my money or not, the craze and frenzy that accompanies burials down South is totally stupendous and uncalled for. I assure you, this move won't end with Soludo. In the not too distant future, other governors and HOAs will follow suit.

It's time we do away with archaic and unnecessary practices.

Yes, you are right, however, coffin making is a more than 100 years old artisan business, i am sure before this generation coffins were displayed openly in shops, if you have watched movies like cow boys and Indians, or D jango you d see cowboys displaying and making coffins openly in the streets.

It is just that some part of the developed world has moved on from such business practises. Year ago meat/chicken were displayed openly in shops in England but today meat are sold in packs in supermarkets.


But Naigeria or Anambra have not quite go to the level of such developement.

Someone on here suggested a coffin market/area similar to spare parts, tyre or electronic market and i agree to that.

A coffin market is a fine idea. Everyone who fabricates and sells them can have their work sheds and sales shops there. Then you who needs to bury a loved one will know there's a fixed market for it and take yourself there. We need to start deviating from the old ways of doing things.
