I am a Bini woman. When a man dies, the widow is compared to take an oath to prove her innocence. After the burial, the widow is expected to mourn her late husband by sitting on a bare floor for 7 days., eat from the same plate unwashed during this period. She is not to wash her hands and not to Bath. In the 7th day, she will be taken out in the middle of the night to a secluded area, she will have to go alone, and wash herself.

[@umadumawangempela6098]

That is groase I can't imagine how one can sit in a bare floor I mean eat from the same plate not bath what if you get periods I'm sure they will also ask you to eat the dirty pads this is sickening I can't understand how the family will do such evil id rather go back to my martenal home I won't do that rubbish

[@kanmaliving]

My late mom really had it tough when my dad passed. Long story, but when my dad passed, his brothers swung into action. On the day we were to leave for his burial, the ambulance was packed on the side and a lorry was also packed close to the ambulance. They proceeded to clear the flat and no single pin was left. The lorry was filled to the brim. My daddy's bank account and property documents in the east and Abuja, were also confiscated. He did not have a son and so I was not entitled to anything, they said. After the burial, my late mother and I left the village with cellophane nylon, nothing else. Back in Aba, we slept in her friend's restaurant, or an open church. Thankfully, her shop rent was still running, so I used to have my bath inside the shop with a big basin, before going to school. Whew! Like I said, very long story that hurts so much, I just scratched the surface. I do not know of other places, but some practices in Igboland are pure evil

If a loan should die because the debtor died, that means everyone owing the late man should also be forgiven.

[@Mstees1]

Its my understanding that in Islam, the question is actually asked! It is asked, if the dead owes anyone or anyone owes the dead, you should come forward and speak. My late older sister's tailor who is Muslim, showed up at the door, days after she heard she had passed on , with a bag filled with, sewn, semi-sewn and unsewn fabrics! I was shocked. Upon asking how much she was owed for the sewn fabrics, she said she forgave that part! Paid her condolences and simply left. WOW!!!! SO it seems the woman did no wrong

So I am from Côte d’Ivoire and from the dioula/Bambara/Mandingo tribe.

I believe if she asked at that time, she must desperately need the money because morally I think it’s wrong.

[@aderinsolaobasa1897]

She says the late guy is owing her, her work money. What can be implied is that she did a job for him and he is yet to pay for. It doesn’t sound like a loan. She didn’t say borrowed him money. She says he has her work money in his hands more like saying he is yet to pay for a job she did for him.

[@macjowinapparels8474]

In Islam if you are owing anybody before death , during the burial it will be asked just the way it's done in weddings if anybody has reason why the two can't be joined likewise in this case it is believed that the dead will not have peace. Unless the person says he or she has relinquished the debt. She did the dead a favor.

[@bluebirdfurniture4408]

[@chawanangwamkandawire5850]

The problem with people who just saw the video clip is that they are using their own culture and religious experience to judge the situation disregarding the fact that the people at the funeral have their own culture and religious perceptions and practices. Even in western countries where tradition & culture is almost non existent they have other ways of handling such cases legally.

[@estheraiyeniwon9551]

That is so good to know. So of course she did nothing wrong. If that is what is done in the religion of the deceased. Any comment is null and void.

Neze, she is right. Why? It is a known fact that when a Muslim dies, his debts owe to him, and the one(s) he owes must be settled before he can be interred. To that extent, the lady was right in her move to recover her money. It's a sharia thing.

[@pixiedust6630]

[@sumaiyamusa7357]

Islamical that is just the best thing to be done before burial, they cannot Buria you when you are owing someone,so there is nothing wrong with what she has done because that's like doing a favour for him, you can ask any Muslim around

She did well to the diseased. It’s indeed terrifying to die with dept… may he find peace

[@mavisroberts1038]

If that’s the culture why not She should go ahead and get bar money In Ghana you informed the family members one privately❤

[@arikeobadimeji1899]

On Murphy's case. It is also a standard in Islam that when a person dies, the family is expected to enquire about all the people he/she owes or those owing the deceased to clear the debt before he/she is buried except those involved WILLINGLY reject the repayment. It is believed that if the debts are not cleared, the dead person won't be able to transit into heaven. So, if it is found out that he was actually owing the lady this money, they have to pay her in the interest of the dead since the lady has asked for refund of her money. And it goes the other way too. Anyone owing the deceased is expected to pay the family whatever owed the dead. Some Islamic people even keep a book where they record such transactions to guide the family in case of their passing.

[@carollaker]

Traditions consists of good and bad ones.they only become bad when it hurts someone,deprives them of their happiness,life threatening leading to death or diseases.the good ones might as well be many. Someone coming up on a burial and mentioning such means she had experienced alot already

[@Queenjojo9]

I am from Congo Brazzaville when my stepdad passed during the war in 1997 my mom was forced to drink the water that was used to wash his dead body, cut her hair and she had to wear white.

[@hawanatuthomas6351]

In some cultures it is the family of the deceased that will usually ask if he or she owes anyone, even if it is not paid instantly or some may say they will forego the debt. They do believe that that debt will hinder the dead from going to heaven. What a belief though.

OMG, I've been planning to watch some Murphy Afolabi movies, he must have starred in over 100 or 200 movies . He's one of my favorites and I had no idea that he'd passed. May Allah be pleased with him and grant him Paradise.🤲🏽 I remember I was called to collect money entrusted to a responsible man from my mosque. When I arrived at his office, he thanked God and said now he can relax because he doesn't want to die with My Money in his pocket. I pray that he and his wife and many children are alive and well. I haven't seen him in a while. It's one of the ethical issues in Islam that would be normal written into law in Muslim countries like Morocco. In America Loans and business exchange are written called Promissory Notes, but its not almost possible.

FYI Murphy didn't take a loan from her. The Woman said she gave the money to him for work. From the look of things,she might be an Actress or Producer that gave him money for work but unfortunately,he passed before the job was executed. Talking about the timing, to me, it wouldn't have been a good time to talk about it BUT the Cleric started the move. They should have probably announced that 'if Murphy is owing you, pls contact us'. Anyway, may his soul rest in peace.

I love a lot of Africa traditions. Black African Americans from the south we are pampered we be waited on hand and foot. When we have a baby we can't wash our hair for 30 days after having a baby and we have to stay in the house for 30 days if u had a boy he have to be circumcised 2 to 3 days after he was born. Every one that hold him/she have to wash there hands before holding the baby. When a man died his wife just because a widow. People will look at her crazy if she get married in the next two to three weeks after her husband passed his family will say she killed him. So most widows don't get married right away. But the majority of widows never get married after their husband passed. One reason in the United States we have social security so if he worked a job all his life then his wife will get benefits from social security and most of the time it's a large amount of money each month she will get but if she remarries she do not get it. Now as far as the lady walking on her husband's grave. To me it makes sense in a way it's like she walking out of his life into a new beginning. I will say a lot of Africa's traditions for married couples the woman have it hard. She always have to prove herself in everything and I don't like that I think if a woman have to do with the man should have to do it too and if the man is dead then let his brother take his place but he still would have to do it so if they want the woman to drink the bathwater that they use to clean her husband up then his brother should have to do it too. I can listen to African traditions all day long because I'm lost. A lot of black people don't like the fact that they call us African-Americans I don't understand why because that's just what we are. I love Africans if my computer breakdown I take it to the African man I can't pronounce his name so I just call him brother and he called me sister. When I go get my hair braided I go to the Elizabeth an Africans ladies her prices are high but they are the best at braiding hair in the world. I talked to them they tell me all kinds of different things I just love being around them. It's so crazy I see African people on the internet there's two women that look just like my mother and my aunts also I see a lot of men that look like my uncles and brothers and have the same attitude it's crazy. You are right the traditions set you guys apart from everyone else an African people are very unique intelligent. I truly believe in my heart that African people are the chosen people. Yes powerful people was greedy and wasn't taken care of the African people. Africa people was feared because they were so intelligent. White people in the United States they fear black people back in the day because we where so intelligent so deprived us from reading it was against the law to teach a black person how to read. When they brung us from Africa they could not understand how we were so intelligent and how we could get things done how our brains thought so they didn't want us to learn to read their English scared we was going to outthink them. I enjoy everything you can tell me about Africa. I'm just beginning to know the things that I see in African movies have happened to people for real in real life over there. And it's always the woman have to prove herself. Against her husband's family she have to prove she didn't kill him. I'm like wow can a person just die so I think they use that tradition for the men's family to take everything from the wife it's a strategy that they said okay we're going to take everything she killed him so they have a reason to take everything. That's old greedy people that want to keep that tradition that tradition should be stopped no woman should have to drink the bathwater of her dead husband now that's really insane.

[@beautyjames86]

After my first comment, I've read through other people's comments and found out that Muslims culture they need to know if the Deceased was actually owing any one before he died, maybe that's why the woman had to show up on the Funeral to make the Loan issue Known to the late man's family so she can get her Money back and she'll not be blamed for not showing up

Ohhh Lord what they did to his wife in the name of tradition made national news in my country and had many NGO ‘s involved to fight for her . My other uncles wife refuse to let the traditional rights be done on her and she was banished from the village , never to step foot in the village again But if they where influential, such a thing won’t happen All I can say is tradition is selective .cruel traditional practices are for the poor people only.

In South Africa after the burial the wife goes to the river to take her cold bath and comes back to cut all the hair bald and dress up in mourning clothes which are often black or navy or even all green during the 2 year period the wife wears only those black clothes until the end of a year then the woman is cleansed by the family of her husband again in the river same bath with certain herbals included she goes back to the house with all the goat or cow killed to celebrate the end of mourning now she gets to wear brand new clothes and get back to normal

[@aebimomi]

As for the question on tradition... Recall that during the coronation of King Charles III, while Prince Harry, a heir to the throne, the immediate younger and only sibling to the next King, was relegated to the background and not reckoned with, a stone - a life-less, non-living being - was given a pride of place. If that had happened in an African setting, lots of people would have ridiculed and condemned it. But, hey, it's their tradition in Britain, and no matter how ridiculous or illogical or senseless it is, they have a right to it and a duty to uphold it. Ditto any and all tradition in all parts of the world, including Africa. On the lady that came to do loan recovery at the burial site... I am aware that the law allows for personal loans or obligations of a deceased to be settled by his estate before any other disbursement takes place. The law does not recognize that an existing loan or obligation of a deceased person dies with him or her - at least here in the United States. So that woman was legally in her right - if the same law or a slight variation of it exists and is practicable in Nigeria - to have attempted to enforce a loan agreement and she did it at the best place and time if she were to have any modicum of success - as you rightly noted. At a personal level, however, never in a million years will I ever go after a dead man's estate for an unpaid loan or financial obligation to me - irrespective of the sum involved. As far as I am concerned, death - as it nullifies and brings an end to a marriage relationship - should also nullify and end any man's obligations, financial and otherwise. Yes, this will only probably make sense if the reader understands that morality is the basis of this stated opinion.

In my village, when someone dies,before they are buried, they asked whether he is owing anybody, cuz after the burial u don't have the right to asked for it anymore, a loan should not die,especially if the person who landed the money is also struggling.
