Funeral Vs Wedding: Which Is More Expensive?? by ikorodureporta: 7:04pm On Apr 02, 2016 |
These days, the expenses one has to incur so as to have a befitting burial for our loved ones is becoming worrisome- it could be compared to when one is planning to marry an igbo girl For those of us staying away from our villages, wheneva the villagers hear that somebody's funeral would hold, its a thing of joy! ...& to u out there, if you know u dnt have money for funeral, take care of yr sick parents. Ailments as simple as malaria lead some people to their early grave, due to lack of care & poverty... From what i observed recently from a close friend, the list they got from the Village head, village-family leader, church, etc, without other plans to be done sef, person fit just bury their person for Lagos instead. Some people at this point may have to sell out their village landed property to settle the bill.... So, after the funeral service at the village, the family were invited to d burial site, while guests were asked to wait at the field for refreshment.... So the caterers started serving the guests, & afta a few minutes, the villagers came & hijacked the item7- they fell the serving-stand & rice, grabbed the bags of wrapped fufu, poured the soup, & were jst grabbing anytin grabable -spoons, plates, etc. At this point, the caterers had to struggle to rescue some items. Thats how it ended. When we got to the family house, they were even preparing some other items for the guests. Na so poverty don spoil our people..... Even in grief you still have to spend so much as compared to a wedding party... |

The one that pains me most is when a youth dies, guests will expect the family of the deceased to cook like it's a thing of joy. Death ain't sth to be celebrated! 32 Likes 1 Share |

The foolishness of southern Nigeria has made burial lose it's sobriety on the altars of flamboyance and show off! This is not good! Marriage worths any amount put into it but burial is a sham and utter waste of money to take care of the living and better the downtrodden! I duff my hat for Islam! 28 Likes |

I'm kalabari from rivers state. My husband spent 10.50000 one million fifty thousand naira to dress his mother's corps alone!!! In my place the corpse changes 3 times before it is finally buried. We spent over 25m for the entire burial. Meanwhile I hired a wedding dress 4years prior to my mother in laws death to save cost It still annoys me knowing that a corps had that much more glamour than me on my wedding day 4 Likes |
