Good one, they should spend more money on the living.

Everything is always for the living abi... The dead never gets anything...

Govt, just wants a way to generate IGR from burial cos the Anambrarians I know will first go and pay the fine, then continue the burial the way they are used to.
Somebody is about to hammer with this new law.

This is a great initiative from the Anambra State Government. Many Anambrarians had sold their family lands, properties, and entered into huge indebtedness in the course of financing the burial of their diseased family members. The bustling market for cows in the State will surely diminish as majority of the cows were usually mearnt for burial ceremonies. The cattle business which has Anambra and other South East States amongst its prime markets will surely decline. All those lousy villagers, kindreds, and fake mourners will no longer congregate for a feast of eating and drinking in the homes of grieving families. Finally the average Anambra man or woman will no longer be in a panic mode when he/she looses his/her loved ones. Thank you His Excellency Governor Willy Obiano. I wish other SE States will follow suit.

There are fines and penalties for contravention of the law..
If you are too rich and you are ready to pay for the financial implications of disregard for the law,then you should not have any problems..

They should also look into marriage lists/laws not only burial laws.

The law generally looks sensible. But I will expect legal challenges to it on some of its aspects, which could reasonably be deemed to infringe on the right of assembly

To an extent, it is not for the government to decide. Why are they capping the value of condolence gifts?

I expected them to remove the special uniform, though. Many abuse widows with it.

DarkJeddi:
People must get sense by force..

This is the true definition of progress. Spend on the living, not the dead

Cluess government, How is burials a problem in Anambra?
Instead of passing laws that will help Ndi Anambra create wealth, and help develop Anambra state.
They're busy passing clueless laws.

I don't support this. Some of our traditions have to be saved.
At least people who have the means should be allowed to run their own affairs as they deem fit.

Mofo, Ordinary declared May 30th, a public holiday, In remembrance of the war dead, in your state.

you cannot.

Good. When their parents was alive even bicyle wasn, t bought for them. After using their parents for rituals they will want to show off with their funeral

hmmmmmm stupidness, mean Anambra people use their parent for ritual. tribalism

welcomed development

Nice one, in some places, the people celebrate burials more than wedding.

SoftDealz:
Sounds great. Burials should be a time for sober reflection and not the anticipation of hot jollof.

Wen dem give u rice no collect na hunger go kill u

ok

The law is for the poor i agreewith you.

THIS IS STORY FOR THE GODS, AND AS ALWAYS THE LAWS WOULD BE FOR THE POOR.

UMENYIORA'S,

OKEKE'S and SEA HORSE....etc
JUST TO MENTION A FEW
IF THERE PEOPLE ARE DECEASED AND TO BE BURIED, THIS SO CALLED LAWS CAN NEVER BE APPLIED TO THEM.

”No wake keep of any kind for any deceased person, while religious activity for the deceased person prior to the burial must end by 9:00pm; and there must be no food, drink, life band or cultural entertainers during and after religious activity for the deceased person.

Similarly, all burial ceremonies must be for one day and the burial services must start not later than 9:00 am and must not last more than two hours, just as no preserved corpse must be exposed for more than 30 minutes from the time of exposition.

It further provides that all condolence visits after any burial ceremony, must not exceed one day and no person must give the deceased person’s family a condolence gift exceeding money for one jar of palm wine, one carton of beer and one crate of soft drink

How does this concern a government. You can do whatever you wish as private citizen so far you are not disturbing anyone. Why not let communities organize themselves to make these decisions rather government trying to control people's lives excessively.

Igbos doesn't bury their own outside.
Burial ground must be for Northerners.
IPod may be right on this man's royalty to the North.

If you had bothered to read through before jumping to comment,maybe you would have seen the answer to that question..

Raping a lady is like taking away her everlasting joy cos such lady's life will never be thesame psychologically. shun rape today cos its not different from a death sentence.

Expensive burial is a waste

Nice one,is a welcome development. I saw hell when I buried my dad!

DarkJeddi:
You must be mistaking Anambra with Imo..

So you are saying that marrying from Anambra state is not costly?

I'm so happy with this news. It should be implemented in the entire South and East

Good laws on paper but does the government have the right to determine how one is buried? Why not everyone do as his pocket can carry.
Someone can challenge this in the courts. Would be interesting what the position of the constitution is on this issue.

Not anymore costly compared to other states..

So Anambra still reject corpses? Thought Osu was over?
