Burial Money

A man invited his friends from far & wide for his father's funeral, after lowering the coffin they put yams, rice, meat E.T.C, into the grave. A Hausa man who is used to their simple way of burying the dead, asked "why do you waste so much food item this hard times? The man smiled & said, ''according to our tradition the dead man is going on a long journey & therefore needs all the food items.

The hausa man dropped $500 in the grave. ''When you finished with the food items, you can buy more''. The yoruba man also wanted to identify, so he dropped $500. ''When you finish with the hausa man's money, continue with my own''. The Igbo man would not be left out, so he signed a cheque of $1500, dropped it into the grave & collected the $1000 as ''CHANGE''. Kwenu!!
