The Catholic Bishop of Awka Diocese, Most Revd.
Paulinus Ezeokafor, has asked all priests under his
diocese to stop officiating at Flamboyant burial
ceremonies otherwise they will be sanctioned.
Reverend Ezeokafor who gave the order while
speaking to some Catholic priest in Anambra state
yesterday January 17th, said the move is to help
Nigerians stop unnecessary expenditure during
funerals. He advised those from Southern Nigeria to
emulate the Northern Nigerian Muslims who bury
their loved ones with little or no fan-fair. He said
the new directive involves no sharing of souvenirs
as well as moderate cooking of food.
