Nigerian filmmaker, poet, and novelist, Onyeka Nwelue has taken to social media to condemn the idea of food being cooked and eaten during burial or funeral ceremonies.
In a post shared on his Facebook page, Nwulue said that anybody who eats and drinks at funerals does not have a conscience, considering that people are mourning at that moment in time.
The author wrote, ‘‘BLUES & HILLS: Nobody that eats and dinks at a funeral has conscience”
KanyiDaily had also reported how Rev Dr Success Emeka was forced to marry the corpse of his 32-year-old fiancée, Chioma Okoye, after she died when he allegedly aborted her pregnancy without her consent to save his reputation.
