Unge-prefer wafanyaje sani?
sio eti walikosea, its our culture. wazungu ukikufa huwa unajizika hakuna marafiki wanashughlika, only close family members
Huyo Chashil will be the next to burst open.
so unataka wavae black na wasikule mpaka shingo ya marehemu ikatike… peleka hizi mzungu antics kwenyu …
Naskianga hata huko kwa wazungu wenye unaataka kutulinganisha nao, siku ya “wake” wanaleteanga familia ya marehemu chakula.
Swali: wanaletanga chakula kiwe kirembesho kama maua kwenye maombolezi ama wanaletanga ndio waombolezi wale?
Hiyo picha says wageni wa Nairobi.
:D:D:D
“fine china”
viti poa na meza

Should people laugh and joke during funerals?
silinganishi, mmi ni mwafrika kamili. life ya wazungu sipendi.
Traditionally, when an African died , they would take the body and set it somewhere in the wilderness and go about their life. The wild animals would devour the carcass at night. In fact in many African languages, burying the dead is usually referred to by a word close in meaning to throwing away or disposing. This thing of feasting in funerals took it too far.
Watu wanasema kila time kuna matanga Jalas uchukua marafiki zake Nairobi kuenda kuwaonyesha nyumba yake huko ocha, then anawapikia Ugali na Kuku, wakirudi Nairobi wanampa maximum respect.
Where do you gather such distorted facts? Without exception, death was an important rite of passage in Africa, accompanied by various cultural ceremonies.
You misinterpreted me. The rituals were about the dead person. Not an event in itself. Funerals was not a party.
Kikuyu: Amongst the Kikuyu, the dead body was taken out to a burial ground called a kĩbĩrĩra. Certain rituals were practised prior to burial including the careful wrapping of the body with the legs and hands in the sleeping position, and the kĩbĩrĩra would be placed facing the homestead.
Meru: They also practiced the ritualistic exposure of the dead when death was imminent. The individual would be taken into the forest or put in what was called the ‘hut of death.’On the other hand, if someone died in their home, the house had to be destroyed, and the body dragged out by a rope to the bush where it was abandoned.
Why would you want to see the entire ceremony as a party? Feeding the visitors was only a small part of the ceremony, which , in most cases, is for the convenience of the visitors.
