Why are my fellows so dull like this. Y’all shouting Muslim this and that; will the dead Muslim be buried in the bedroom?

They’re not talking about the cost of throwing a party or whatever. It’s literally the cost of the ground you want to put the person. The cost of digging the ground and covering it.

Do you guys get it now? Damn!

.The only reason why we didn't spend more was because we buried her in our compound here in Lagos, and they still asked us to come to the village to perform the final burial rites whenever we are ready
The list they sent to us contain cow and two goats with other things include several tubers of yam.

The money is not to do party.
Its what you pay to put the dead body into the ground.


If you remove party expenses from Nigerian burials (Non muslim), you'd see that what's spent on the actual burial is minute.

Muslims don't even spend that much.

Why should burying someone costs all that money??

The world should go the Muslim way in that aspect.

A dead person is already dead!!

There's no need for such iced meat!!


Their government can't help them provide a simple burial arrangement but have fund to build a permanent storage facilities for unclaimed dead bodies! What kind of fvckery is that?

The next of kin say who don kpai don kpai. I cannot come and go and kill myself because I wan bury person.

It is clearly an economic decision.

It always makes sense to try our best to gove our last respects to the dead. It's one of the things that differentiates us from other animals.

Cremation is not cheap too. Then, comes the belief of the dead and its family

That's Thier way bro, But we killed a Cow and goat for my Dad, when we came home for the burial, these guys have already calculated the list of drinks that we will buy...they handed over to me, I was pissed, close to 400k to buy drink, they even put Heineken and Stout...lol, fools wan drink premium beer untop our head, I just collected the list and started cancelling all the Heineken and Stout.

I told them that any of them wey Heineken or Stout dey hungry can go and buy it.

Basically, we only did the important traditional rites.

IMMIGRANTS DON TOO FULL CANADA ALREADY.

IT'S NOT LIKE THESE IMMIGRANTS ARE COMING TO ESTABLISH BUSINESSES OR BRING INNOVATION. INSTEAD IT IS TO DEPEND SOLELY ON THE EXISTING JOBS AROUND, THEREBY CAUSING MORE UNEMPLOYMENT, INFLATION AND WHAT-HAVE-YOU.

You cannot even die in peace!

More than 80% of their population bury their dead with credit. I stand to be corrected.

With harsh and dwindling economy, people can no longer even go on credit.

Everything else is done on credit, why would they not also borrow to bury?

Car? Credit.

House? Huge Credit (it's called a death note in English).

Education? Credit.

Electronics? Credit.

Clothes? Even cheap clothes, nah credit (see Klarna's entire business model).

Even fuel sef, It's now credit that I see options for.

They should embrace the Chinese style; Cremation .
Once the person is confirmed dead , just drive to the outskirts of town , gather firewood, put the person on top , burn the body to ashes , then store some ashes in a jar to be kept at the Family house for memory purpose.

Una wan use billing kill next of kin

how do you people think and write things like this?

Do you know how many foreigners that work in Nigeria and other parts of Africa? and do you think Africans can't do what they are doing here?

Do you know how much they earn while some tries as much to evade taxes?

Do you know how much that leaves Nigeria/Africa to the west as so called colonial tax?

Ask of the francophone nations and see why they are running to Russia for protection.

Do you know about the Royal Niger company in Nigeria?
