Why using millions to bury an ordinary corps? Does that guarantee his making heaven? Instead its an additional pain to his soul, why not pray for him nd bury him peacefully. All this is vanity

NIGERIA IS FULL OF FRAUD AND CORRUPTION, WHY USING USD$200,000.00 DOLLARS N30 MILLION NAIRA TO BURY AN ORDINARY CORP WHY NIGERIA YOUTHS ARE SUFFERING. MUSLIMS IS THE ONLY RELIGION THAT UNDERSTAND AND PRACTISED PURE RELIGION ASHES TO ASHES DUST TO DUST WHICH MEANS THAT WE COME FROM DUST; WE RETURN TO DUST. THAT DEATH IS MERELY A TRANSITION AND THAT WE WILL RETURN AND LIVE WITH GOD IN ETERNITY.Genesis 3:19
