  • After a brief performance in Fela shrine some weeks ago, Nigerian Music Lagend, Femi Kuti made a startling request about his burial. To the normal eyes it might seem like jsut a preference but for those of use who love morbid conversations, it seemed to us that Femi may be exposing a long diabolic practice carried out in African cemeteries. #graves #cemetery #documentary

    Here in the Philippines the urban poor rent a concrete tomb. Once they fail to pay rent the dead is removed. In the public cemeteries you will walk on piles of broken concrete and garbage, and even uncollected bones. And the stench of the deceased from inside the haphazard vertical concrete tombs, mixes with the smell of the piles of garbage in the area.

    This is quite revealing. The other time, we went to bury a Church member's dad in one of the cemeteries in a Nigerian State Capital. I was shocked to find the place littered with dug up remains of caskets, skulls and bones. It dawned on me that the man we went there to bury might, after a short while, not be in his grave anymore too. A burial place is supposed to be the final resting place for the remains of the dead, but sadly Nigerian cemeteries appears not to be so. The truth is that those buried in cemeteries are mostly people that had no personal or family property where they could be interred. The general feeling among my own people is that to bury your loved ones in a public cemetery is like having their corpses thrown away.

    This is an eye opener the lessons I learnt 42 yrs ago we had a big farmland by the cemetery in ogun state and my SIBLINGS we had a TRAP that caught a big BUSH MEAT . We took the Bush meat home burn it and to clean it what we found inside was shocking.
    Human hair braids with OWU a special made things to do hair and also artificial nails with colors on it. This means the animal eat the flesh of the deceased in the burial grounds.
    Since then my family decides not to bury anyone in the cemetery. My parents are deceased they were buried home .
    Am not surprise and that one in CALABAR is not a mad man he is doing business in that place as you said .
    But is a SHAME that one will suffer die and his bones will still be suffering.
    Pls kindly carry out more investigations to find out what they do with the carcass if they evacuate them for this is not funny I don't BLAME FELA .

    Funny I observed n said exactly same thing. First time at this cemetery was 5 years ago. Flew in from California and the impression I got just from the funeral arrangements already got my spider senses tingling. Just the way Nigerians think n do things. I recall there is an office, annexed to a small church, then a garden before the grounds itself. What struck me peculiarly, was the hype around the Lagosians about this being the premium ground for burials. They showed me all the wealthy folks buried here as if this is something with which to aspire. The weirdest experience. Also putting the body in the folks were all snap chatting and instashaming and fakebooking toe event with their cell phones. I sat at the garden texting my girlfriend back in Cali about how I wanted to be cremated after I pass. The whole experience was jacked up for me but they reassured me that I was at the best cemetery in the city and only the best of the best have their families buried here. I didn’t feel that sentiment at all considering I research sustainable ways of dispensing human remains to fertilize soils. From dust we return to dust.

    I believe that there are 3 main reasons (amongst others) why it appears that the dead are not cared for in Nigeria:
    1. Usually, our dead are not buried in close proximity to our cities of residence, and many are even buried in their hometowns, making frequent visits pretty complicated.
    2. Many customs and traditions do not permit any form of connection between the living and the dead.
    3. We don't have much of a maintenance culture in Nigeria.
    As for where the dug- up bones are buried, I wouldn't be surprised if every city has a mass grave where these bones are deposited.

    Their is a cemetery somewhere in ajegunle. If someone is buried their that same day the body Will be removed the same night. At about 1am they evacuate
    Lots of bodies burn them. This dead bodies are burnt close to the gutters. When you visit the cemetery am talking about you will notice that most of graves ain't more than 3ft. Am not making an assumption you can go and investigate yourself. I HV also witnessed a strange event in that same cemetery. We caught a thief late at night. On our way to the police station we noticed some usual event. Lots of exotics cars packed opposite the cemetery. We saw money and black nylon exchanging hands. We were so scared that we had to let the thief go. Bcos that same road leads to the police station. The cemetery is known as Trinity burial ground at olodi apapa ajegunle. Please go and do a research you will be shocked.

    Where I am from in South Africa, the grave sites have been said to be full. A lot of people now berry on their own land next to their homes instead of common grave sites. If it happens here in South Africa, it would be likely in the government owned grave sites, not likely in the community owned or family owned sites.

      Yes, that sounds more cultural and better. In Nigerian rural areas and small towns etc. they bury their dead within the family compound, next to the home. Then they can look after the grave site and keep it clean and tidy. I'm not sure if they have big public cemeteries in Nigerian rural areas and smaller towns.

    Daniel, I'm sending so much love to you because I appreciate you so much! This cemetery issue is serious. So much of life seems to be like this! You have described the vicious cycle of selfishness that seems to be our human nature. We actually have to learn how to care about people that we don't know. We tend to be selfish towards people we don't need to care about, if you know what I mean. People don't really care what happens to others because it is not happening to them. However, in this situation, everyone will eventually die, so it will eventually be an issue for everyone. So, everyone really should care alot about things like this.

    When a person dies , only the body dies. When you die in this world , your eternity begins in another. I have died before and I went to a place where I don't wish even my greatest enemy to go. It is through the great mercy of God why I am alive today. The only way you can be sure that when you die you are guaranteed to go to heaven is by accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and live a life pleasing to God. If you don't you will go to hell , the place I went. You don't have to go there , God is not going to send anyone there . Each of us is responsible for where we spend eternity.
