THE Catholic Church has asked the Lagos State House of Assembly to allow the dead rest in peace by throwing out its proposal to pass a bill legalising voluntary cremation of unclaimed dead bodies in the state-owned mortuaries. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/07/catholic-church-blasts-lagos-lawmakers-over-cremation-bill/ |

Team Iscariot on this one o.... About 6 years ago, I read an article possibly by World Health Organisation (don't quote me as I am not sure but will dig it out)about how preservatives in foods is causing a nightmare with the decomposition of dead bodies. Clearly, cremations make sense in this instance and of course lack of land. Lagos for example can't house that many dead bodies so it would be the most hygienic way to rest. Would you dream of buying a house that someone's father or grandfather was buried in? I couldn't watch house of horror as a kid, let alone.... 2 Likes |

There is nothing wrong with the cremation of corpse. Their morgue must be overflowing with unclaimed corpse. Moreover, there is chronic shortage of land to be used as cemetery. So cremation is the best option in this situation |

I think Cremation makes more sense...you get to save land that would otherwise have been 'condemned' as cemetaries. I wonder why churches - that preach about eternal life and leaving our 'carnal' and 'earthly' bodies behind - should be concerned about what happens to the discarded bodies. 5 Likes |

Re: Catholic Church Blasts Lagos Lawmakers Over Cremation Bill by ebamma(m): 12:53pm On Jul 07, 2012 |
to me i think cremation is the best form of burial,because it helps save land, and money,the land used to bury people in lagos can be utilized for other things if the dead were cremated. |

It's a good standpoint from the Catholic Church. It's good to still read of some good in today's Nigeria. Would you or those selfish politicians want your body to be cremated while you're gone? It's obvious it's not all of us that do unto others, what we like to be done to ourselves... Like as if they don't have more humane ways they manage unclaimed corpses in more populated cities around the world too... 1 Like |

cremation is the cheapest form of burial,after buying enough wood and fuel or kerosene,u are ready,and it wont cost u more than 20k,but a regular burial expense will cost u a minimum of 500k. |
Re: Catholic Church Blasts Lagos Lawmakers Over Cremation Bill by Zi: 1:10pm On Jul 07, 2012 |
The Catholic Church should rather ask the state govt to hand over the corpses to them, so the can carry out the 'proper' burial. The morgues are too full! 3 Likes |

Calm down, dear Castos. You read like a dog with a sore on its head. Ppl are entitled to their opinions and as I remember, Lagos is not the Vatican. If the Lagosians want to be cremated, then that is what is going to happen. Alright? |

...what will Nigerians not worry about? We still worry about our bodies when we are dead and gone. How many of us will still have our bodies intact when death come calling. I careless about what becomes of my body when I am gone. The most important is to leave my footprints on the sands of time and my good legacies lingering on when my dead body is buried or cremated. We need to start thinking of how to make life easier for the generation unborn. Cremation does nothing to the memories of the dead! 2 Likes |

I believe its a good idea and if the catholic church finds it difficult to accept, it should focus on its adherents and advice them not to cremate their dead. Live and let live. 1 Like |

ndsmartt: ...a bill legalising voluntary cremation of unclaimed dead bodies in the state-owned mortuaries.1_ 1 to 3: The church and it's busybody syndrome. I only see voluntary. If I want to, will you come and stop me? Smh. Feeling that you can control every aspect of people's lives. Amebo. 4: It's not just practised in India, and not only by Hindus. It's also done in the US, UK, Australia, and all developed and civilised nations. And by people of all faiths. 5: You won't object to one being built in your backyard, will you? 6: Which culture? Murdering of twins? Forcing widows to drink their dead husbands bathe water? Sacrificing children? And not everybody is Christian or Moslem, and even if they are, Jesus expressly said "let the dead bury their dead." 7: Just because you are too preoccupied with everybody else's beeswax, doesn't mean there aren't people that find the idea appealing. Case in point NL. 8. That's what they're tryna do, you arse! 9. Like your backyard? Or in your church compound? 10. That's too appalling. And pathetic. 5 Likes |

ndsmartt:The topic of this article is ambiguous. There is nowhere in it where the Archbishop blast anybody. He simply expressed his mind as a clergy and a leader of a christian group whose interest it is his duty to protest. Maybe it should have read :"Catholic Church expresses reservation over Cremation Bill." Sometimes I wonder whether these type of captions are usually made with the intention of misleading and misinforming people. 3 Likes |

The book of Ecclesiastes says d dead know nothing and feel nothing. So it doesn't matter what u do to their body. And d Bible already condemns dis flesh as corrupt: it cannot enter heaven in this form at all and so is useless once a person dies. What then is d hullabaloo all abt? And why is d Catholic Church clergyman misleading people into believing that the dead 'rest in peace', thereby inferring that some might not rest in peace? They know and feel nothing. A dead man is a void who will remain a void until he is called up for judgment. Moreso, the flesh will rot after a few weeks of decomposition. What has d clergyman done with all d dead bodies buried? Do they dance? Conclusion: More public campaign on d issue shd be carried out and voluntary cremation encouraged. We place emphasis a lot on d wrong things. 1 Like |
