On this burial stuff, make I yarn una one story.

Mid 2022 - Early 2023, inexplicable things begin dey sup for our family.

Me, dem hold my promotion for office. This was despite acing the appraisal assessment and being recommended for promotion.

Business wey I establish as additional side hustle to my 9 - 5 run down.

Pregnancy wey my sister carry after years of TTC drop.

A cousin in Okitipupa commot for house to go work and never returned back.

A niece in the university, a very brilliant gal studying Nursing Science woke up one morning and begin dey kolo.

Popsy sef dey get incessant health issues that time.

E even reach my elder bro side for Cany, as hin lose hin good paying job.

etc etc

As in, everything just dey go wrong that time with all of us

Na so mumsy dream that period and in the dream, our paternal grandpa appeared to her and admitted to being behind our travails because popsy, our uncles and aunts no give am befitting burial when him kpai.

According to how she take narrate am, hin spirit dey aggrieved and is not at rest because he was buried dishonourably, and na why hin dey afflict us.

Keep in mind, that grandpa kpai in the late 90's.

She begin dey disturb and pile pressure on popsy and we the children say make we do the traditional burial rites and give grandpa a befitting sendforth to the great beyond.

Initially we refused but after unrelenting pressure from her, incessant calls and impressing it on us the children that popsy was aged, and may be called home soon, and customarily, we are barred from giving him a "befitting burial" because he didn't do such for grandpa, we caved and in and agreed to give grandpa a befitting burial in the form of a thanksgiving/remembrance.

Popsy being the oldest son called a family meeting and convinced his brothers, sisters and cousins. Dem pick date wey be last week of December 2023, do budget, share responsibilities and the bills.

Me, I don know say I no go travel go villa because wifey was due in January, and I couldn't leave her cos na me be her only support system.

Elder bro in Cany on PR visa was due for citizenship in January, and was solely focused on that and did not want to elongate his eligibility days by travelling to Nigeria.

Two cousins abroad in UK on care work visa were not coming too.

Everybody sent money and our cousins back in the villa did the logistics and running around.

We collect Aso-ebi. Bought two cows. Booked the community secondary school field and hired a traditional highlife musician with his band for the all-night party.

The traditional rites to appease grandpa's soul were done, Church thanksgiving/remembrance was done too,

The all night party was well attended, People ate, drank to their fill and danced merrily. Everything went well. Na so we take run the thing and everyone went back to base and their normal lives afterwards.

As we enter January 2024, my promotion came through and was backdated to October 2022 when I was originally due. All the arrears of the salary increment was paid to me with my January salary.

My cousin wey go work in Okitipupa and disappeard was found wandering in Oshodi in tattered clothes and bathroom slippers and clearly in a dishevelled state. He underwent rehabilitation and has fully recovered today.

My sister took in again in January 2024, carried the pregnancy to term and delivered a bouncing baby boy in September.

My niece studying Nursing Science in University deferred her programme for a session, underwent treatment & rehabilitation, and is now fully recovered, back in school and in her final year.

My ekder bro's cany citizenship came through and he got a better paying job than the one he lost.

Popsy after being in and out of hospital in 2023 did not visit the hospital once in 2024.

And so on and so on...........

I no dey put stock for this kind spiritual stuff but these na things wey we experience for our family. and shey na just coincidence say things begin dey pick up for us after we buried grandpa "right", comments?

This is wickedness
Person that died is disturbing those alive to do befitting burial
So they have to satisfy the dead person at their own inconvenience

Bruh, trust me I asked the same questions.

I even asked momsy why a dead person was appearing in her dream and told her to go to MFM Prayer city to do deliverance

She admonished me not to be flippant, and said she knows what she dreamt.

Trust me, it wasn't easy for us to do the proper burial rites after all the years that had passed but at the end we caved in because we didn't want to leave any stone unturned.

We concluded shebi na to spend money, ehn make we spend the money

when i was leaving secondary school, i stole someone's textbook and carried it home. i had no need to do so - i just did for whatever reason.

years later there was a period when i was having some academic challenges and the owner of the book appeared in a dream.

my take on your post - your mum placed the travails on things she subconsciously felt guilt about .

as an aside read up mentalism

which involved 'reading' people. con men, prophets, prophetesses use this when they tell people their family members are behind their travails. thye know what you are suggestible towards and they prey on that. if your fam was slightly different - this may have been pinned on a member or even your wife

as I get older, i have come to expect that life is in cycles. Good times and bad times.

i went through a series of unfortunate events in 2012 -13 . (that was my way of describing what happened) that was the year i had the encounter with the robbers. i was also in an accident which i came out of unscathed. and some other issues.

Lolz 😂

The bold is the social pressure we are talking about that the Muslim approach to burial rites rids you of.

Imagine having to live with the social stigma that your loved one has not transited to afterlife because you don’t spend money you don’t have to bury ur loved one ? 🤦‍♂️

Lol,true....

Baba mi, all that happened to each and everyone in this ur narration has a logical explanation . I don’t think it has anything to do with grandpa’s burial rites . But I understand how mothers can be when it appears things are going wrong , they start seeing visions , having dreams and asking u to follow spiritual instructions .

Your promotion was going to come sooner or later and u will get ur arrears. It happens in both the private and public sector .

I believe the treatments administered to popsy in 2023 worked out well eventually and that was why he didn’t visit hospital on 2024 .

Your neice’s recovery from the mental illness is evidence that psychiatric treatment works . I also had a distant relative whose parents wasted time taking her to churches and spiritualists till they took her to Yaba neuropsychiatric hospital (Yaba Left ) where she was treated as an outpatient over time and became well.

Your sis is fertile and will definitely get pregnant as long as she keeps having sex before menopause and with proper close monitoring by medical doctors she will carry to term and deliver.

If you guys didn’t do the “befitting burial “ thing , you still would’ve had all of the good things happening to u. Like GloriousGbola said , there’s good and bad in this life and most people will get their own share of both. It’s only when the bad hits us hard that we start ascribing it to some of our past actions and inactions.

Bros ye, what if I told you there were rational reasons for their behaviour?

My cousin that disappeared in Okitipupa and was later found in Oshodi was kidnapped on his way to work. He was kept in the kidnapper's hideout for months with little food and water with the intention to use him for rituals.

Their jazzman found him unsuitable so they abandoned him and dropped him off in Lagos while wearing rags and no means of communication

As for my niece in school, it was later discovered that she was into hard drugs and at some point her brain snapped and couldn't cope with the effects hence her kolo display.

When we told mumsy, her response was, "the spiritual controls the physical and they were spiritual attacks manifesting physically".

Methinks his mum was worried sick thinking about all that’s been happening to her children and in-laws. Her worry played into her subconsciousness and that’s why she had that dream. Mothers have a way of worrying like that

You no explain well ...

If the person doesn't have grandchildren , (exception is only when he dies very old ) no large burial .

No. They are just very lucky.

Dwarfism is usually inherited in an autosomal dominant manner, meaning the sex chromosomes are not involved and the sex of the parent does not matter.

The child of a dwarf parent and normal parent has a 50% chance of being a dwarf.

The child of 2 dwarf parents has a 75% chance of being a dwarf.

The sex of the dwarf parent does not matter because the genetic issues that usually cause dwarfism are not on the X or Y chromosomes.
