“When
I die, the money you want to spend for my burial, use it to benefit the
people who have no benefit in life. The dead is dead, and dead for
good. Let him face Jesus. Keep my funeral simple, make it easy. Use the
money you want to lavish on me to pay school fees for children who need
it. In fact, I will even buy my own coffin. Don’t buy Coca Cola for
anybody, don’t. I am serious about it. Let’s do things in an efficient
way. What you want to spend for me, don’t wait until I die, give me the
money now and let me enjoy now. Don’t go and borrow money to do my
burial. I don’t need it. I will be dead then, use the money on those
still alive. I can’t understand why Nigerians will borrow money to
celebrate burial; why they will sew clothes and drink champagne to
celebrate burial. I can’t just get it out of my system. Why do
Nigerians close the street to celebrate a dead man. A dead man is dead.
Bury him and move on,” - Pastor Ituah Ighodalo, 50, of Trinity Church,
to his congregation.
