A man asks questions about eating at a funeral
He revealed that he was surprised to see people eating and drinking during the ceremony, describing it as unacceptable.
I would never eat at a funeral
The man explained that he would never eat at burialno matter how hungry he is, insisting that he prefers to eat before or after the event.
He added that if he ever attended such events, he would either eat at home beforehand or wait until after the ceremony.
In his words:
“I saw people who went to AleX Ekubo’s funeral yesterday eating. There is nothing worse than this. The last thing I will ever do is go to a burial and eat. I will never do that. How can I say I mourn someone and still eat at a funeral. I’m not saying I won’t eat that day. If I’m hungry, I eat from home before coming to the funeral or after the Funeral. I go to my house and eat, but I don’t eat and drink at the burial place, almost every tribe in Nigeria does that works, and some bring plates from their houses and take them home.
Some are not actually there because they are grieving, but because they want to eat and drink. I attended all the burials; No matter how hungry I am I will never eat or drink there, if you bring food I will ask you to pass it to the next person, if you bring a drink I will use my head to nod the person NO. That’s how it should be.
Haba! I know you are not me and I am not you; but this makes no sense.
