Western world! You cannot even die in peace! More than 80% of their population bury their dead with credit. I stand to be corrected. With harsh and dwindling economy, people can no longer even go on credit. 84 Likes 8 Shares |

But there's basically no need to borrow to bury the dead. There's no need to put yourself under pressure just in the name of conducting a befitting burial 3 Likes |

Oyibo and data. I like how they use data to analyse everything. Once you don't want to do anything or reason for doing it, it would be noted and at the end, responses and data are analysed. Thousands of unclaimed corpses are littered in Nigeria morgues without their kith and kin knowing where their loved ones are. There are thousands of unidentified corpses brought by police and security agencies. 8 Likes |

LordIsaac: Nah... Not Death... Burial! Please, keep up! Even in Nigeria, not every person or family can afford burial rites... Some are so poor that they simply toss the body into the ground the moment death is confirmed. I have seen families that couldn't pay mortuary fees, and had to watch helplessly as the remains of their loved ones were sold off to research institutes and schools of Medicine. 9 Likes 2 Shares |

LordIsaac:You also pay those money in Nigeria, from mortuary charges to family elders' demands. I spent over 250k just to convince my mum's elders to allow us burial her in Lagos which they only accepted after we are agreed to come back to the village for the final burial rites which will definitely cost us millions especially with cow and goats involved. 3 Likes |
