I have notice that some of the things we do in this country in the name of culture and tradition is Causing poor Nigerians more trouble and we need to change.

1. High Cultural cost of marriage.

2. High Cultural cost of burial. A man in my church have not being able to perform the burial rites for his mother because he will at least one million to do it. He is the only child.

3. Transporting dead bodies from the place they died to the village.

Your got it right absolutely. With people like you, NIGERIA will be great again.

More people need to learn this truth or contribute to the discussion.

Listen to this Donald Trump-themed song telling how "Nigeria MUST be great again".

It's worth it. Please, listen.

Ok

1.

High Cultural cost of burial.

What part of Nigeria is this rampant?
Nairalanders, over to you.

Genuine answers only please.

Damnnn niggar
Isoright....

We Edos dey guilty of number 2...Binis to be precise and esan people dey guilty of number 3


But that number 1 we nor dey guilty of that one at all

Infact we fit accept about 26 naira for bride price
But so far make you nor do our daughter anyhow for marriage

Igbos are guilty of number 1

Nigeria people do number 1 & 2 by choice. Nobody is forcing anybody to spend something huge on marriage or burial..

Besides that, people love to celebrate the dead more than the living..

The cost to carry out burials has to be the most annoying.

Some of our traditions need to be scraped.

This is not about being woke. It's about the selfishness and wickedness embedded in it

Those things are for
1. The rich
2. Stupid people.

I can't waste my money doing extravagant burial when I can just bury the dead same day and cook for the guests normal.

Also why pay exorbitant fees when you can just impregnate their daughter and watch them beg you to take her hand in marriage.

Also some people have seen these things as ways to make money, they will sell clothes of 1k in oshodi for you at 3k. Indirectly you are paying for the food you will eat at the event.

1 traditional wedding is the cheapest in Nigeria am not talking about south east

2) as a Muslim you don’t need money for burial ,even people around will contribute to bury the dead that same day

3) I can’t judge this , some people don’t want to be buried in a strange land
Meself if I die naa Ibadan they go bury me No to strange land

Not in Nigeria, in the Eastern part of the country

Add

4. Osu slavery in South East
5. Inheritance for Female Child in South East


Or is it Queen Elizabeth II that caused all these?


May God deliver us from enemies within


God Bless Federal Republic of Nigeria

Transporting dead bodies from the place they died to the village.

This is normal in most part of the world now.

Arry110:
Number 3 is a necessary practice, it may even be more economical than buying a plot in a private cemetery

Exactly my point � � � �

Acidosis:
..and what stops you and others from making these changes? Herd mentality, yeah?

The CHANGE you talk about begins right HERE, right NOW!
Rather late than never.

Just say igbos oga .....which one be nigeria

As for me,all these words you listed above are not compulsory.


There are many more cultural heritages that needs to be changed.

No 1 is acceptable.

The culture I hate is the habit of anger... when you have issues with anyone and they get annoyed too easily... I no like am. You jam my car, na you carry blow come instead of say make we discuss.

� remove that number 3

So on point.

Even education cost is high. Majority of what we're taught in our various institutions cannot be marketed that we've to mostly rely on what's available.

Many after getting their degrees still end up selling cloths and bags on IG and Whatsapp. Very pathetic!

A lot of things need to be changed.

Why the dot?

U think say u wise lol..

U won't be the 1st to comment here lol

wahala...

Number 3 is a necessary practice, it may even be more economical than buying a plot in a private cemetery

Well said but Igbo Amaka will not agree on these especially number 3

Stop dragging the rest of Nigeria into it because this is only applicable to Igbos only. Very extremely greedy and fraudulent tribe

And also cultural believe that money is the reason why we live. We must also begin to educate our mind/youths that material things can only be obtain through hard work.
