So someone close to me died and her body was deposited at the morgue and luckily for me, the place is just a few step from my friends place ( I often sleep there).

Got there, I meet the attendant and it was only one guy on duty. I was sho, only you dey manage all dead body here, na boss you be oo.

I was leading the way and he told me to wait outside while he enter first and signal for me to come later.
I sha allow him to lead and wait at the reception with my friend( baba dey fear give excuse).

Few minute, he told me to come and I obliged. Omo corps was littered everywhere. Normal local morgue oo. Formalin was used to persevere all of them and they are all of different size and shape. I knew I was going there to see some cadavers, but when I got there, a different reality was dawn on me. If is should count they should be more than 400. He showed me her body and I told him okay let's go. I spent less than 2 minutes, not because I was afraid but the stench be killing me.
After that incidence, I see life from different perspectives. Like, at the end of the day we all equal. Omo, there is no class or status there. Everyone is equal, naked and laying next each other...

Just try to enjoy life while you are alive, try all your possible best to be happy with/without drug. Spread the happiness, if na joint share am and food or update.

Somehow, I know spirit are real and the African voodoo and shi. So i'm planning to go there again but this time around be prepared and all that.

While I'd love any suggestions on how to overcome the stench. I want to spend more time there, I have got some question to ask her. Might go there with a camera maybe I'd capture anything unusual.

So medical practitioners, how does it feels when your patient self delete of any cause.

Had a similar experience. Didn't go to the morgue. We had to bury a friend ourselves, bath for him, buy casket, ropes and even dug the grave. Yo! That's the day i became a man.

My perspective about life took a different direction that day.

When I saw Herbert wigwe's body together with his wife and son I was weak. It was inside a carton and placed on the floor. I was just thinking this life is just somehow.

That's just it OP

A visit to the morgue is enough to humble any sane human on the planet

Everyone becomes equal

The day we went to pick my mum from d morgue

I saw one corpse where it was kept behind d door

Till now, I don't have d words to describe it...


😳

Early 2023 a cousin of mine was electrocuted by a sars officer at Ibadan. He was accused of been a yahoo boy... He was later dumped at one general hospital at Ibadan, where we later went to retrieve his dead body for proper burial. When we got to the mogue, lots of human dead body were litered around. About 400 corpes and they have all dried .. no matter how your heart is strong once you entered the mogue. You will surely have second thoughts for life

Na only wen we dey alive respect dey,only we die,its nothing...VUV Vanity upon vanity

Interesting.Enjoy every moment

If Nigerians visit the morgue as often as they visit religious houses, Nobody will need to preach against Pride and Corruption.

What happens after death? Will the people be judged for all the things they did while alive? If no judgement, won't it be useless and vanity for one to care about the good?

All is vanity. We come naked, we go back naked. The only thing we owe ourselves is to serve God right so we can wear the crown of life at the end.

To answer your questions, ponder on these - What happened after you graduate from college?
Will Police Arrest you for lacking Education?
(Ofcourse not but lack of education can be exploit to harrass you!)
If No, won't it be vanity and useless for one to care about qualifications and work experience?

Reason why I live my fūcking life without giving a fuçk what the other person says because at the end of the day is the end of the day.

Almost everything is temporary.

🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

Men that lust after flesh (female bodies) never been to the morgue or witness deadly accident that shattered human flesh, you will know that our bodies are just carton housing our inward man.
All na vanity sha.

A Sars officer electrocuted your cousin and even killed him just like that ? I thought Sars has been dissolved. But didn't you guys take any legal action?

Went to collect my elder brother body from the morgue 17 years ago was my first time in the morgue, a dead woman was being embalmed on the floor just by the entrance door, she was being pumped via her VJJ...I saw corpses naked, stripped of all dignity, laying there just waiting to be taken away for last rites and burial...yes I saw life in a different way!
Bible says it's better to be in a place of mourning than a place of mirth, for we will all take that route someday!
May we learn to number our days!

Walai this topic is the most solemn topic on Nairaland

Nothing dey this life o, "Na him somebody go just open mouth tell another person,"do you know who I am?"

.

Its front page worthy, when did you join Nairaland?

Chasito:
why are u calling the mods? 🫤

Chasito, Remember, I told you

Ok

The way we embalm with formalin in this country is very horrible. I've seen some really gross embalment done by half assed mortuary attendants (obviously not trained morticians).

Morgue ain't for the weak minded

One of the place I can't work no matter the cost,
Same for working in the military

100 years from NOW, everyone on this platform would have died, processed in a morgue and buried.

Horrible experience. You will repent immediately, you will become humble, until after a while, the human nature comes back and you forget all that you learned.

My first experience, I was traumatised. It's funny how the morgue attendants see corpses as just ordinary.

Wow

Every soul shall taste Death

Death is part of living and vice versa.We will all die but not yet.Enjoy.
