Death and Burial activities in southern naija may in the purposely naïve view of Northerners may look absolutely grief and loss of love ones and regrets, without knowing that over here it is not exactly as they thought. Do I blame the tongue that said 'every calamity comes with opportunity'? And luckily one particular area for that south are genius when it comes to making good use of this opportunity. 

Some of the Opportunities in  Death and BURIAL ACTIVITIES are:

-If you're owing him and heard he has been hospitalized, and finally he died, who knows you're owing him? Though some could be sturbon enough to put it in writings for their wards to recover it but the truth is that you're owing his father not him, and you can as well deny it. What an opportunity indeed. Yet we hear everyday from the children 'Don't worry, papa must come for his money whether you like it or not' and you will reply in your heart 'Mike ejeagha! Akuko, story, let see when dead corpse begin to speak'

- And if he is owing you, and got hospitalized, you must be his regular visitor if you actually you knew the hospital. All your sympathy would be 'ah Nze recover so soon' and in your heart 'nwokem don't die yet till you pay my money' and if actually he dies, the only opportunity is to eat well and drink well during the burial. Make much voice get your self suspected as the killer. Her wife wloud proudly and sarcastically say ' yes he may be owing you, but I don't have idea of it'. If you try to be much logistic you ends up hearing 'there lies your debtor, go to him and collect your money. Please let me have peace for once'. The only people you can not try that with, are the Church, kindred, umuada, age group, and town union, because they can not even allow the corpse to go beneath six feet without you making all necessary clearance.

It is a very good opportunity for your village, Age group and kindred if you're on fine, or owing dues. No one disturbs you to pay, the least good heart would tell you in face ' know that we won't come your father or mother's burial when he or she dies' or 'None of us will step into your compound when you die till every Kobo is paid' 

-Its opportunity for umuada and umunna to have their pound of flesh if you deserves it. You buy drinks and snuffs to tell them, your father died, otherwise you bury him alone. Umuada must know that their brother died with list of assorted drinks and other items. 

-It is a very big occasions if you're rich, because the poor knew that your burial won't be a joke. You may even hear them hissing 'Akwama ozu Dr. Ike ga adi kpoo kpoo' (Dr. Ike's burial will be hot). Some kids may even pray for you to die so that they can have new clothe, they don't mind the adieu in the back or your portraits in front, they just need new free clothe.

-It is opportunity to spend money if you have it. It doesn't matter if you looked after him well when she was seek just a befitting burial can cover it up and gave you profile upgrade, you can as well get Chieftaincy title if you spend well. Evey one have you in mouth " Don't you see how he gave the woman a befitting burial? Mama would be happy wherever she is for this rich burial'

- its opportunity to make some cash if really you invested much in inviting rich people.

Opportuniy opportunity, we are our problems
