Lmao 🤣. When will this generation stop this madness of extravagant burials?

It is high time we stop this habit of glorifying death over life. It makes no sense to ignore someone while they are alive and struggling, only to start killing cows and throwing lavish parties the moment they pass away. That is pure "eye-service" and hypocrisy.

A simple coffin and modest rites are enough. The living still need to eat, and the economy is already hard enough. If that burial money was invested in a business or used to support the living, it would actually yield results. Instead, we spend millions to impress people who will forget the event in three years.

Even if you bury someone in a gold-plated helicopter, it changes nothing. Let’s learn to celebrate the living and keep burials moderate. We have to be better than the previous generation.

Gerrard59:
Heavy or, in most cases, unnecessary burial expenses are some of the lifestyle/cultural expenses that plunge or further push (in this case) many Nigerians into penury. If an older person dies of natural causes, pray, cry and bury the person within a week. It makes no economic sense to rack up debts to bury someone. Let alone sell a child to raise money to bury the dead. The person has died and haff go. Yes, it hurts, but just cry, pray and dig ground to bury the person.

Except that people DON'T forget it in 3 years. And even if they forget that family won't forget. I still remember my folks talking with so much pride about how the village chief came to our great grandfather's burial and fired a dane gun - once o.

These things ought not matter but people and their stupidity make them matter!

SpencerForbes:
If poverty were a person, he would have died from too many false accusations. 😏

they should Stop blaming your choices on their background. Poverty never pushed them anywhere; they were just greedy or wanted to throw a massive burial just to show off and "belong."

Both of them are greedy and deserve to be punished. It’s pure heartlessness when people do wicked things and still have the audacity to blame it on poverty.

Soo mother dies, you want her funeral to be the poorest on record that people will be talking about to 3rd generation

This information is not complete without the names of the victim and the suspect.

Probably because it is an allegation
The news is on every major news outlet in Nigeria. They all can't be lying.

Awon name checkers

How about the interest since 2009

Good point. I did the search. See it below - over 3 billion naira.
They played us for fools as usual

Things happen in this country. The sister's eyes probably cleared after the 500K she thought was a lot of money disappeared!

The Lagos State Police Command has arrested a 30-year-old man accused of selling his sister’s one-month-old baby for N2 million.

It was gathered that the suspect, who resides in Igbogbo in the Ikorodu area of the state, allegedly claimed he sold the infant to raise funds for their mother’s burial.

The baby’s mother later reported the incident to the police, prompting the suspect’s arrest.

The Commissioner of Police in Lagos State, Olohundare Jimoh, has directed that the case be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID, Panti, for further investigation.

Speaking with newsmen in Lagos on Friday, the suspect, who admitted to the act, attributed his actions to financial hardship.

He explained that he came in contact with the woman who purchased the baby through Facebook.

“Poverty pushed me into doing it. My sister initially agreed to the arrangement,” he said.

According to him, the woman seeking a child asked him to bring the baby to Mile 2 after their discussions.

“I went there with my sister. A man sent by the buyer collected the baby, and the woman transferred N2 million into my bank account,” he said.

The suspect added that he gave his sister N500,000 from the proceeds, while the remaining amount was used to organise their mother’s burial.

He further claimed that after the burial, his sister began demanding that the baby be returned, alleging that he had used charms to influence her to agree to the sale.

“My sister later claimed she was unaware that the baby had been sold and reported the matter to the police, which led to my arrest,” he said.

The suspect said he did not know the buyer personally and had no details about her residence, adding that attempts to reach her through the phone number used during the transaction had been unsuccessful.

Meanwhile, the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of SCID, Dayo Akinbisehin, confirmed that investigations into the matter are ongoing.

He noted that the suspect would be arraigned in court once the investigation is concluded.

Is uranium enrichment a taboo in the international law? Does any country has the right to stop the other from taping her natural resources?

Pls, reason like human being. Iran has never invaded any country for over 50 years, hope you know this? Do you know the usefulness of Uranium? How many nuclear weapons did Iran has? None! Yet you believe they are terrorists.

Now how many countries has the US invaded? How many countries has Israel invaded?

What country do you think finances groups like Hezbollah, Hamas, etc? Do you think they get money from thin air?
And you don't know there is no other reason for enrichment of uranium to the extent Iran refused to stop doing other than u r trying to develop nuclear weapons?

See this one, talking of ancient history, ignoring the fact that almost all of Iranian launchers have been destroyed and that US is in total control of Iranian airspace!

rolams:
Were the Iranian supreme leader and top political leaders killed during the war? No. Trump and Natayahu can't kill those people during war, that's why they always attack them during peaceful negotiations. Is that how real fighters do? Why not the US and Israel tell them we are waging war against you on this so so day and act on that. I am sure the US and Israeli soldiers will not return safely. Imagine, two countries facing one and the oppressed is still standing tall. Trump himself admitted Iran is very tough.

What happened to Iran can happen to any country in the world regardless of how powerful the country is, it now depends on how such country pick herself up, hold herself firm and respond.

Nonsense. "Any other country in the world" is NOT sponsoring terrorism and enriching uranium.
Trump said Israel were going to kill Khameni durring the 12-day war but he dissuaded them. Khameni knew they wanted him gone. So no excuse

Johncarlo07:
Country wey dey owe billions of dollars in debt. Am sure dey will start having problems shld d war last a month.

Use your head sometimes. If you truly owe real debt as we understand it, will you be giving billions to everyone all over the place for absolutely no reason!

.

Bobodee09:
So people will say is false.......lol


War solves nothing.....No war has ever solved anything, it just just a worthless madness.

People will die for nothing and at the end of the day both side will still have to compromise..

It is solving Iran being able to develop weapons that can hit US mainland and anywhere in the world (which, unlike other countries, they WILL use!)

Whatever makes you happy

If you search YouTube well you can find someone saying authoritatively that Khameni was never killed, that America has already lost the war and Western Media are covering up everything

FriendsAndFans:
Why is Israel forgetting trouble in the middle east? Are they the only one's there?

Forgetting trouble?

Goodmarlian:
It seems Iran is stronger than Ukraine they came prepared and gat nothing loose this time Afterall 001 don kpai,reminds when ikonso was killed in the Southeast omo many soldiers and police die like shikin.

Sooo, why hasn't Putin been able to kill Lewinsky who insults him everyday??

MaxInDHouse:
It's better to be a dummy than claiming to understand those jargons.

Abeg what's the difference between what your brother wrote and churches spewing gibberish claiming they are speaking in tongues?😀

R u ok? How many times will you be told that "my brother" didn't write or contribute anything??
THE IMAM (NOT "MY BROTHER"!!) says God is fighting for Israel and anybody who tries to fight Israel will be defeated - because the person is fighting God!

MaxInDHouse:
At least you understood everything!🙂

You should too, unless u r a total dummy

MaxInDHouse:
But you claim to have understood the jargons he typed nah!😀

What the Imam (NOT "my brother" said is clear, only that he took too many words saying it

MaxInDHouse:
Nah you fit understand your brother!🤣

"My brother" didn't say anything

MaxInDHouse:
So you understood what he's saying shey?
Irú ìró ǹ borùn
It's OK O!🤣

He said nothing.
He only quoted what an Imam said verbatim. The Imam is saying that God is on the side of Israel and you'd be a foọl to be fighting them because you'd be fighting God

Akwamkpuruamu:
Church of Nigeria is no longer under the church of England. The separation occured since Canterbury started wedding gay couples.

So this isn't new

So why is it still called Anglican Church instead of Nigerian Church and why does it still defer to Canterbury as first among equals ("Prime Minister"}

amazonguru001:
I guess the sin is very intense at your end.
Kindly locate a store. Buy cold drink.
Water preferably.
Soda/sugary drinks are of no good to you.

BTW, I am not encouraging people to do crypto. And Crypto is not even a get rich quick thing.

Na you dey misunderstand my standpoint.

If you happen to a lawyer, omo. Your opponent no go drink water drop cup laiye laiye.

You were defending a guy who said he went to PH penniless then got rich by trading crypto and that crypto is a much faster way to get rich than Yahoo!

amazonguru001:
😊😊😊🤔🤔🤔🤔

Just stop advising struggling people to get into cryto as a way to get rich. Statistics clearly says you're LYING!

Focusmind:
I feel sorry for other businesses that are into instant noodles production.

Do they break even, as it seems that INDOMIE has taken over 90% of the market, coupled with the fact that Dangote had to forfeit his multimillion dollar noddle business to the INDOMIE group when he could not compete ?

I cant remember eating any other brand in my house except INDOMIE.

ColdHunter:
It's almost impossible to break into the market. I really dont know how Indomie consolidated so much. Many other brands have tried and failed.

Though Tummy Tummy is popular in the east, but I don't think indomie is losing any sleep over them

But you see this man's Tummy Tummy doing just that. They've tried to crush him but he's surviving and thriving.
I know someone who used to work for him.
Said he paid them peanuts

Amuluonyenaego:
When will poor man ever emerge anything in this country!

You're just seeing one doing just that.
Didn't you read the man is from a very poor family?

MaxInDHouse:
Now it's clear that most commentators just jump in to make comments without thinking about what the OP says.

Abeg apart from the topic can any of you guys commenting on this thread tell me what exactly is this man saying?

See his comment on a sane thread:



Is the above not precise and straight to the point?

But on his own thread he wrote jargons and you people are here to join in commenting over what exactly?😟

Don't insult the man by saying he wrote jargon. He only quoted what a noted Islamic scholar/cleric said to his fellow Muslims. His sin is that he failed to highlight the relevant part. He quoted a very long transcript and expected people to read it all.

Here's what he should have highlighted:

1:54
how how do they do that, right? With all
1:57
the challenges and all the wars. So, if
1:59
you believe that God has nothing to do
2:01
with these people and that they are the
2:03
enemies of God, right? You should think
again

And so clearly there's
2:26
something between them and God. Clearly
2:28
I tell you that
2:30
that these people will be there. And
2:33
here's the thing, the understanding of
2:35
Jews in Islam is extremely different
2:39
from the understanding of Jews by
2:41
Muslims on the ground today.
2:43
Really?
2:43
Yes. God says in the Holy Quran for
2:45
example chapter 2 verse uh 62 right or
2:50
for example in chapter 5 verse 20
2:53
onwards children of Israel enter the
2:56
holy land God has written for you the
2:59
holy land you know Israel's borders
3:01
today they are part of what is the holy
3:04
land the whole of Sinai is the holy land
3:36
I don't care what people think about
3:38
Israel or Jews. You want to be
3:40
anti-Semite, God's going to destroy you.
3:50
because the number one defender
3:52
for that is God himself. That's why
3:55
you're always losing the wars. That's
3:57
why God hates you
4:08
Okay. So our prophet peace be upon him
4:10
and his family passes away in 632 in the
4:14
year 632.
4:43
So what does that mean? It means until
4:44
the prophet's last day, he was at war
4:46
with the Byzantines who were governing
4:48
Jerusalem. The prophet never went to
4:50
Jerusalem.

amazonguru001:
You are clearly not listening.
Seems like i am talking to a closed .minded person.
Aaaaaarrrrrrrrgggghhhhh

Did you perhaps read the part where I said, you don't even have to use your cash. Just do buy and sell with OPM (Other People's Money).
Please what risk does that portend ?

Chiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii


Well done oh Oluaiye of the Land of "i no dey hear other people's idea" .
Twale sir.

U r the one for whom we should be shouting
Aaaaaarrrrrrrrgggghhhhh
and
Chiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.
If you lose money does it matter wether it is OPM? Is it still not money you lost??
Besides, here's the OPM you're talking about, here's what you wrote:
I have built a name and Integrity to the point that families friends colleagues and clients who want to buy tokens or USDT for whatever reason they need it for. Just reach out to me to buy their USDT. They send their money, I make the purchase for them and credit their wallet.
I end up smiling to the bank without using a kobo of my own money. Lol.
Just dey play.

The Quran Says This About Israel — And No One Talks About It | Imam Tawhidi

Says whatt about Israel?

amazonguru001:
Baba my message is not for your kind. Closed minded people.

That very thing you are complaining about is making some smile to the bank daily because they know how to play the game. And very legally.

You must not even use your money to make money with crypto.
How about that.

I have built a name and Integrity to the point that families friends colleagues and clients who want to buy tokens or USDT for whatever reason they need it for. Just reach out to me to buy their USDT. They send their money, I make the purchase for them and credit their wallet.
I end up smiling to the bank without using a kobo of my own money. Lol.
Just dey play.

People were complaining about GNLD.
That same GNLD was what I did for one good year to feed my family after I lost my job at a time.

My point is, while someone is lamenting about something, someone somewhere is legally milking it.

Goodluck to you as you keep showing CRYPTO na SCAM.

97 to 99% is NOT "someone" and is not what you should be encouraging a struggling person to get into - because if the person engages honestly in crypto trading without fraud there's an almost 100% chance they'd lose their money!

amazonguru001:
Lol.
Make God give most of us access to the right information.

If you read his post well, you will see where he mentioned not just Bitcoin. He also mentioned ETHEREUM, XRP and one other coin.

The secret is in buying at a low price then wait till the price goes up.

Please go and check the prices of those tokens in 2017 that he mentioned.
Then check the prices after 3 years or as at today.

Let's use 2017 as an example:
Bitcoins started 2017 at $998.33 and grew 14x to finish the year at $14,156.40

As at today the same Bitcoin is $68,000.

Just imagine that one bought 10 pcs of Bitcoin in 2017 at an average of $1000. 10 pcs will be aroudn $10,000.

But right now those 10Pcs will give $68 0000 x 10 which is $680,000 can you bit that?


All we need is understand.
All we need is information
All we need is action.

No be everybody dey do yahoo.

I laugh when I saw some people already concluding the guy did yahoo yahoo. Lol
Ignorance is a disease sha

I bought a piano of 400k for my son from the profit of just one trade I took last year.
The trade lasted 2 weeks. I made 600k profit.
The capital used was 500k. I even borrowed it, but after the trade. I returned it.

This above is just an example of many many of such oh.

Princemedico18:
Please, I need a guild lines in crypto trading. Can you guide me pls?

BigYash:
I was almost thinking it's yahoo you did,as you say you go cele join..

The thing is that you'll fool many people with this write-up. See the statistics below of what you are here on Nairaland touting as a way to get rich. Only a person with money they can invest and forget can get richer on crypto - because they can buy a coin and forget it for years. A struggling poor person who tells you he got by in PH through trading crypto is LYING!

Pierocash:
lol. Do they really make good money in Yahoo? No! and it won't be that fast like mine even if they finally make something substantial.

People don't make fast money in Yahoo. Only in crypto. SURE!
