When we buried my father, we just cemented the ground. I dont really know the reason the elders gave. When it was time to properly do the grave, all the kids contributed money equally but my elder brother used the money to do naming ceremony for his kid. When my father started flogging him in the dream, nobody tell am before he ran to arrange the grave.

ReplyDeleteAnyone concerned about this can also go and tidy the graveside.
ReplyDeleteI know of some families that do this in Nigeria in addition to going there to pray and acts of charity to aid their departed ones.
By extension, since the parents are now dead, who is minding the grandparents' gravesides? This is how burial grounds all over the world have vacancies. Once one site looks abandoned, the ground managers turn it into a bunk bed, if you understand what i mean.
🤣🤣 oyibo can attach emotions to everything.
