A Nigerian doctor, Obianma Onya has called out people who ignore others including their achievements, needs and requests while alive but mourn when they d!e. I need to call out a crazy tradition in our clime where we ignore one another (dont acknowledge accomplishments, needs, requests) while were alive but once someones obituary is announced, we gather like WITCHES to mourn or (jubilate). We even take selfies while smiling during the funeral and demand for food and drinks, she wrote on Friday. This should stop. I call it the highest level of hypocrisy and wickedness ever. Your relationship with the deceased while alive should be directly proportional to your show of despair when the person is no more. If I never celebrated you, I wont mourn you. Moreover, funerals are supposed to be solemn events and not some jamboree.
