Orji had divorced Blessing after the marriage produced children including twins, on the ground that her mother was interfering in their marriage. Blessing subsequently married another man.
Drama however ensued during the burial when the first husband, Onyema Orji brought items for her burial and wanted to take the children born for him by the late Blessing, but was told by Blessing’s family that he could bury her but could not take possession of the children as he had not performed the traditional marriage rite that will empower him to claim the children.

This forced Onyema to perform the traditional marriage rite on Blessing who was lying motionless inside casket awaiting the burial before leaving with the children.

ReplyDeleteSome traditions are simply senseless and should be jettisoned. Holding on to them exposes a people's stupidity to the world. Point of correction pls, it doesn't happen everywhere, definitely not in Yoruba land. It is rather strange that youngsters on this forum who should be quick to condemn this practice have calmly accepted it. Pls let's have a rethink. This practice has no meaning
