CHAPTER 3 (THE FUNERAL)
Most ceremonies in Nigeria combine European customs with native ones.Ezekiel Odia himself was a Christian and a church-goager,but he always called in a native medicine man when he wanted one.Ezekiel’s funeral was like that too,with both native and Christian ceremonies.
In the funeral everybody cried.Because death will come to everybody.So they
cried for themselves too.Aku-nna and Nna-nndo cried for their fathers.They didn’t call their mother from Ibuza.After long mournings they buried their father.Aku-nna took her brother’s hand and they walked together out of the graveyard.
