how do you people think and write things like this?

Do you know how many foreigners that work in Nigeria and other parts of Africa? and do you think Africans can't do what they are doing here?

Do you know how much they earn while some tries as much to evade taxes?

Do you know how much that leaves Nigeria/Africa to the west as so called colonial tax?

Ask of the francophone nations and see why they are running to Russia for protection.

Do you know about the Royal Niger company in Nigeria?
Ok

Why should burying someone costs all that money??

The world should go the Muslim way in that aspect.

A dead person is already dead!!

There's no need for such iced meat!!

May your days be long! Everyone knows this simple truth, no matter how they deny it.

I agree but make una dey try endure say dem don die before una rush go bury them...24 hours sometimes is too short to fully assume that someone is clinically dead...there are several cases of people whose Graves were opened only to see that the corpse had actually struggled to rise after being buried.

That's Thier way bro, But we killed a Cow and goat for my Dad, when we came home for the burial, these guys have already calculated the list of drinks that we will buy...they handed over to me, I was pissed, close to 400k to buy drink, they even put Heineken and Stout...lol, fools wan drink premium beer untop our head, I just collected the list and started cancelling all the Heineken and Stout.

I told them that any of them wey Heineken or Stout dey hungry can go and buy it.

Re: In Canada, Bodies Go Unclaimed As Costs Put Funerals Out Of Reach by aktolly54(m): 11:08am On May 19, 2024
People should be mandated to pay maybe $50 every month to gov for that purpose. Once the money reach $10k, you stopped. And anytime you want leave Canada and never come back again then you might request for your money.

Otherwise the number will continue like that

Why are some of you igbos thinking everything must be about the igbos. Simple information been shared has suddenly been diverted to Igbo this, Igbo that.
No waste your time, thinking am Yoruba for saying the truth, because I have said it so many times am pure, proud Bonny Ijaw man.

They've never heard of the concept of CREMATION?!!

Abeg, Anti-Japa activist... This is not news.
Basic burial package in Hamilton: $2,718.16 excluding casket

Basic Cremation : $2,651.91 excluding vase

Standard cremation : $3,126.51 excluding vase

Classic cremation : $3,593.20 excluding vase

Bottomline, cremation is not cheap.

It still comes with a cost. And there are a lot of legal stuff that must go with it which may take a long time.

Islam introduced the best and most simplest burial process! You don't have to sale your belongings nor loan taken or begging to bury your love ones.

This shows you have not been to the western countries before. They don't want to spend. They are forced to spend because only the funeral house can bury the dead for you. No bi naija where you can just bury someone for backyard. Over here you need a proper funeral house to arrange the burial and it costs money to buy land space dress and coffin for the dead. Not money for food.

[quote author=nsien1 post=130030441][/quote]The 250k wasn't for burial, just to see their permission for them to allow us burial her in Lagos as they were insisting on us to bring her to the village.
They only agreed because we accepted to come to the village to perform the final burial rites, that's where the main billing will take place.

Islam burials with no cost is a scam. There is a window of celebration after the mourning period.

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.
