In the last 1 year, I have been added to more than 100 WhatsApp groups, created to raise funds for Funerals or Weddings, instead of groups to raise funds for research, education, social change, etc. If we must make meaningful progress, we need to review our priorities & values!
The most important elements of a marriage are the prideprce, plan for sustainable source(s) of livelihood and a happy home. Yet, some even borrow to finance their wedding.
For funerals, a regular coffin is all you owe a dead relative and to ensure you execute their will accordingly, if they left one behind.
If you can afford an elaborate or lavish wedding or funeral, on your own, fine. But making life regrettable and unbearable for others, just to throw a 'talk of the town' funeral or wedding, is not just insane but wicked and evil.
I recall the story of a man in my own village who literally died of starvation, a few years ago, yet his family raised and spent about a million naira on the occasion of his funeral.
Most times, these people we spend millions to bury, left behind children and relatives who need education or some form of empowerment, especially if they were breadwinners before death.
Yet, all the average Nigerian is most concerned about is a lavish funeral ceremony.
