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!

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

Pls how do SARS electrocute people? Do they carry electricity around?

I bet when next you go there, you won't feel the stench much again.,I'm speaking from my last Month's experience, when we took our late beloved Mum there.,the next time I went alone there, I didn't perceived the stench much.,subsequent visit to pick & relocate her, I didn't bother to put on a mask.

Even the fear about Dead bodies all disappeared.

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.

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

Everyone becomes equal
You mean to tell me that none of these politicians have visited the morgue before? Even Akpabio that had a near death experience yet still thinks that the “political struggle” , according to him, is all there is to life?

Death is part of life of humans just that it's the end of Earthly life here so be good to all that you come across do your best to humanity in any way you can. At the end to dust we came and to dust we return. That's why I laughed at Sen. Akpabio at the funeral of Wigwe. He still doesn't understand what life is even till that moment and after.

It is one of the reasons I see birthdays differently from how many see it. It's always a sober moment for me. Each birthday you celebrate, you are actually closer to your death. Is the whole funfair necessary? Maybe, but do it with sense and reflection.
I thought I am the only one feeling this way. Some people said is because I am a muslim thats why. Please bro are you also a Muslim?

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?

I think he s talking about when SARS still on before they were dissolved.

But I'm shocked by his revelation, shiver gripped me

Went inside the morgue 13 years ago to identify my dads body, I couldn’t even enter, so much dead bodies almost 700 , the stench almost made me throw up one fat dead woman was lying in front of me as if she was blocking me I had goose bumps , a friend obliged to help me in , we were jumping human corpses as we were entering, once I saw my father I barely recognized him, he is completely black and face is changed , God did well to make death mandatory it’s the only thing that humbles us after our very wicked and sinful life on earth

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.

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


This is not true, over time, you will get used to seeing dead people as nothing... You might be eating and the people at the front desk will be shouting doctor, doctor, you will get there, certify the patient dead, go wash your hands and continue with your food. If religious houses can't do shit, morgues won't do shit either!!!

No, actually, I'm a Christian. I used to be indifferent about it until recently when I realised that people even pick new enemies because someone did not post about their birthdays on social media. I understand the concept of celebrating one's life, at least before they die. However, in reality, many people have lost touch with the reality that the more birthdays they celebrate, the closer they are to their grave. All those '+1' posts are actually '-1. It wouldn't be a bad thing at all if we celebrate birthdays by simply counting our blessings and reflecting...though..

I do wonder whenever I see I am +1 today too and no one of them write -1. Thou, in my opinion thinking of closer to death during birthday celebration or rwmebering age might make one depressed but it is good to remind us that the life is vanity so you have to take things slowly and be doing good...thank you my brother.

Re: I Visited The Morgue Unprepared by Calitoscassius(m): 12:26pm On Mar 12
It is only in Naigeeria or africa people are afraid of motuary, dead body or coffin, when i was working at the NHS hospital as a security we must go into the morgues to check if any body is missing, count them and make sure all are intact even at nights, i always looked to see if i can find ghosts i didn't see any. At first i was apprehensive, after about 6 months i got used to them, sometimes i have to go alone to check on the "deadies" as we called them, unlike how the Op described the one he went to these morgues were very clean, sprayed with airfreshner and they are very well preserved, we also had forensics investigators come in to pick up and return. Cleaners came in to clean the whole place. At some point we didn't even notice them, we had our security office just metres away from the dead bodies. No qualms!

Death is inevitable for everyone.. better to embrace it rather than afraid of it.

The only way out of an uncertain eternity after death is to yield to the love of God by accepting Jesus as your Lord and saviour. After death nothing else matter, as there is no second chance but rather judgement.

Morgue is even extreme - just pay a visit to teaching hospital or federal or state medical centers - you will see how people are dying per hour and been wrapped in white clothes. I was in Isolo General hospital in the accidents and emergency wards, you will continue to hear people wailing and crying and shouting. I had to go outside to the car stand shed to sit down. The sight was just too traumatic for me.

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.

If you too start working in a mortuary after some time it will also become ordinary to you

Lol that's normal thing. I have visited the morgue serveraly times and I don't panic again because it is not new thing to me.

But to be frankly speaking, the first time I visited the morgue I nearly pee on my pant grin. Since then I knew that dead is an inevitable something.
