An Edo man invited his friends
Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo mens for
his mother's burial!
After lowering the coffin, the
family put yam, rice,meat etc, into
the grave in line with tradition.
An hausa man asked why? The
Edo man smiled and said,
according to our tradition, the
dead go on long journey and
need all the food items they can
get. Then, the Hausa man
dropped #100,000 inside and
said, "when the food finish, buy
more".
The Yoruba man also dropped #
50,000 and said, "add this incase
it's not enough".
Then Igbo man smiled and
brought out his cheque book
and wrote a cheque of #200,000
dropped it in the coffin with
tears and took the #150,000
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 in a
cashless economy na! Travel well
ooo!!!
Who do you think is smarter?
