An Edo man invited his friends for his mother's burial, after lowering the coffin, they put yam, rice, meat etc, into the grave.
An
Hausa man asked why? The Edo man smiled & said, "According to our
tradition, the dead go on a long journey & need all the food items
they can get". The Hausa man dropped N100,000 inside and said, "When the
food finish, buy more".
A Yoruba man also dropped N50,000 and said, add this in case it is not enough.
An
Igbo man who was present at that time smiled, brought out his cheque
book and wrote a cheque of N200,000. He dropped it in the coffin and
took the N150,000 notes as change, then said, "Nwanne, withdraw when you
reach dia o...it is going to be a dangerous journey, we don’t know
how many robbers are out there and no one will be there to save you so
just manage the check"
Igbo kwenu!
