Man plans own funeral, digs his grave

A man from Nigeria who dug his own grave while still alive has opened up that he did it to teach people a lesson.

The man has already put in place comprehensive plans for his burial.

Apart from digging his own grave, he already got people who will mourn and dance for him as well as someone who will salute his corpse.

In his plans, he also has finalised the clothes he will be buried in.

The man told Afrimax that the story of an old man whose children lived abroad made him arrive at a sad conclusion. He learnt from the man’s story that people love the dead more than the living. The old man’s story goes that he lived in abject poverty despite having children abroad. Upon his demise, those children who refused to care for him while alive returned and built a beautiful place. While alive, he lived in an old house, starved and wore dirty clothes.

The unidentified man who planned his future burial said he hopes to teach people to love and care for people as well as their parents while they yet live.

Meanwhile, Briefly News previously reported that a man had prepared for his own funeral while still alive. In a video documentary by Afrimax, the man stated that he does not want to become a burden to people after he is gone. To achieve that purpose, the man did not only dig his grave, he prepared everything that would be used during his funeral. The man bought enough drinks to entertain guests that would grace the event. He also got cement and bricks for the grave. Leo who has nine wives paid for his pallbearers in advance. Since being done with his funeral arrangement, the man has been using his time to celebrate the remaining days he has on earth. – Briefly.co.za
