Must We Feast At Funerals? by OperaMini1(m): 9:29pm On Mar 16, 2013 |
Folks, I've observed with interest, this issue of eating, drinking and merry making at funerals. More interesting is the fact that this happens, despite the age of the deceased, or circumstances of death (accidents, illnesses, assassinations, etc.). I may not know if this is peculiar to my tribe, Igbo, or is the norm in every other tribe. Just today, i was at the burial of a man in his early 50's, and choice foods, drinks and music were on display. What came to my mind immediately was that the money spent on those things must have come ftom the poor widow, and the funds so wasted would have added more value to her and her children. That is why i'm now asking if we must eat and drink at burials, thanks. |
