“Africa Should Invest In Life, Not Death” – Nigerian Author

A typical African may refuse to go into debt to pay their dad’s medical bills or child’s school fees. But they gladly go into debt to give their dad a ‘befitting’ burial. It‘s the African curse. We must break it by deliberately creating new customs#FreeLeahSharibu #RenosNuggets

Who cursed Africans with this mentality where when your aged parents are alive, they live in a dilapidated house, but as soon as they die, we renovate the house to impress those who will come for the funeral. Spend the money on the living not dead!#FreeLeahSharibu #RenosNuggets

A befitting burial takes place when family gather and the dead is put in a 6 feet deep grave. You dont even need a coffin. You can bury your loved ones the way Christ was buried-wrapped in a piece of cloth. Africa should invest in life, not death! #FreeLeahSharibu #RenosNuggets

The most befitting burial you can give a parent is a befitting life. If you leave them to wallow in poverty, while you live in plenty, they will be buried in sadness, no matter the cost of the burial you give them. Spend the money on the living!#FreeLeahSharibu #RenosNuggets
