My Experience At A Church Member Mom's Burial Ceremony by GraciousGod190: 4:51pm On Feb 12, 2022 |
A Church member invited the masses to his mother's burial ceremony last week Sunday, today when I got there I had to look for his own canopy..to my surprise they were just few persons sitting on his canopy with lots of chairs vacant. and I came late o, we talking about after 2.48pm His siblings canopies were filled to the brim, even his uncle's canopies were filled up that they were even coming to collect chairs from his own canopies to theirs for their respective guest. (this guy is the second to senior) I could see the embarrassment on this man face... he was just quiet and moody. Food he cooked was surplus, nobody to give after sharing for we the church members that came..he had to even give us extra takeaway home because we didn't pass 10...still they are still enough leftovers. While I was coming home one of the member from the church a very good friend of mine gave me a lift, then he told me Alex...you see why you need to dey mingle with people all around so that when you want to do things people will come. You can't just put your full mind for people in church or family members...they disappoint you. As you go people own, na so people go like come your own. it really touched me, because I might even be worst than this guy, I hardly go out in the day....I don't have friends.. nobody to invite me to party... people in my street don't even know my name..This is really bad I need to change. So introverts how do you handle stuffs when it comes to parties like this that you can't bypass? With all eyes watching... 161 Likes 10 Shares |

Lol Don't be disturbed by that. Mingling is good but it should be limited. I like being private but I still got some real ones that would pull up for me if I wanna organize something. Although, I don't even like parties, so there's no need for their gathering. I can go months without contacting people. Even my social media accounts are as silent as a grave yard. I'm sure many people don't even know my whereabouts except people in my neighborhood here and I ain't got no friends among them. Crazy! 234 Likes 15 Shares |

My parents don’t even joke with our town and village people’s meetings here in Lagos. There’s one they meet once in every month, and another they meet once every quarterly. They know themselves and always support each other in celebration of life and in mourning. When you identify with and go close to your people wherever you are, they will always support and have your back. Na this new generation dey think say na them sabi pass their parents. 74 Likes 3 Shares |

The whole idea of separating canopies is senseless and invalidates whatever sort of love you all claim to share. All I see is fake love, insecurities, show-off, Etc. By the way, why do you need the crowd for grandma's burial? Are you going to bury some of them along with Grandma? Rather than play along , make things go your way. There are 1001 ways to bury the dead. 301 Likes 30 Shares |

KiNg0G: In such gatherings, they know and usually speak their dialect among themselves. So, the “rented” people will easily be identified. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Lol. Personally, I won't let anybody emotional trap me into their lifestyles. I am not the party and events attending guy. When I have an occasion, I don't even want any crowd to attend. The few people I'll invite would show up. That's enough. I don't even understand the sense in having separate canopies, but that's another issue for another day. If you don't like it, don't bend because of societal pressures. Real friends are those who show up in days of trouble, not in attending parties 221 Likes 27 Shares |

Rubbish talk. Why will I want to change my personality and lifestyle because of party? Is that how feeble minded some people are? I'm not even letting you know I have a ceremony, let alone expecting you to come. Not everyone is an attention freak. Your coming or not will not raise the dead. I no dey go anybody own, and I don't expect anybody at mine. 116 Likes 10 Shares |

Acidosis: Nigerians like noise and unnecessary stress. They like doing things and brag about it later on. Some don't even care about taking care of the old parents but are quick to make the funeral the talk of the town. Shitty people! 77 Likes 9 Shares |

Klass99: Yes, I remember that thread and how you made beautiful submissions on it. The problem is that most of the top shots faced similar thing will they were young and they thought it would be normal to do same to anybody under them or seeking help or employment from them. This is what most of us faced back then in the University. Most lecturers are used to archaic from of things. They see suffering and pain as discipline especially when it's unnecessary. They derive joy in it. I see most of them as bunch sadists that are hell bent on making life difficult with their old syllabus and delvish character. I was lucky to have a reasonable and enlightened Professor as my supervisor back then. Well, I wouldn't say I was lucky, I would say I designed my fate because I had unintentionally picked a sadist as my supervisor after unwrapping one of the papers in the box. Fortunately, the lecturer in-charge of it was busy having conversation with another Dr. I opened another paper and it was the right person I had wanted! This Prof. is enlightened and had been in the U.K. for many years before he came back to Nigeria. His mentality and opinion on life, religion and other things was just different. He would always address me formally and would sometimes address me by my nickname. We're still in contact till today! Let me stop here for now because the story is long and interesting. 24 Likes 2 Shares |

Whether the burial had crowds or 1 person there is irrelevant. The most important thing where her soul is now. May she rest in peace 3 Likes |
