An Edo Man invited his friends for his mother’s
burial. After lowering the coffin, the family put
yam, rice, meat etc, into the grave in line with
tradition.
A man asked why? The Edo man smiled and said,
according to our tradition, the dead go on a long
journey and need all the food items they can get”.
The man dropped N100,000 inside and said,
“when the food finish, buy more”. Another man
dropped N50,000 and said, “add this in case it’s
not enough”.
Akpos smiled and brought out his cheque book
and wrote a cheque of N200,000, dropped it in
the coffin and took the N150,000 notes as a
change, then said, “Nwanne, withdraw when you
reach dia o…It is going to be a dangerous journey
we don’t know how many robbers are out there
and after all we are in a cash less economy na!
Travel well o!”
