PLEASE ADVISE-- My Dad Died A Pastor by PerfectJUSTICE: 10:07am On Jul 02, 2023
Please guys I really need your sincere advice and suggestions. My dad died a pastor and a renowned one at that. We are ready to bury him but the village elders are demanding we perform some rites that we originally will not perform because of our faith. They insisted it's either we perform it or there's no burial. Please what do we do?

Tradition must take place... Don't circumvent it...

If the rites go contrary to your dad's religious belief then you must insist and not agree to their demands.

Was your dad their member?

If your dad was not a member, then they have no right over him.

Tell them boldly that you are Christians and you don't do contrary rites.

I did same for my dad... My church stood by us. Infact it was the church that handled the burial.

My dad was not even a pastor o... He just built the house of God and handed over to the church... Not talking of a pastor.

Oga REST....
Jesus is for Christians only...
Check other religions and stop being self-centred....
Last time I checked, we have constitutional right to practice "traditional religion" in Nigeria

Yes.

But his father was a Christian. His belief has already superceded traditional rites.

He's would be buried on his private land. I did same for my dad... No traditional rites. They knew him as a Christian

Moreover, the earth is of God
