The recent funeral of beloved Nigerian actor Alexx Ekubo, held in Arochukwu, Abia state, has become the talk of social media, not least because of a video circulated by an attendee who filmed the array of food consumed at the event. The lady's video has sparked a spirited debate, reviving conversations around the cultural significances of food, celebration, and etiquette at funerals.
She took to the social media platform to give detailed commentary on her gastronomic experience at the funeral. Starting off with small chops and goat meat pepper soup, her culinary journey continued with white rice accompanied by Chinese sauce, concluded with delicious servings of Singapore noodles and the locally beloved African salad known as Abacha. Her feast culminated with an unconventional choice of boiled corn and peas.
But it wasn't just the detailed account of her meal that drew attention; it was her fiery defense against those who questioned the appropriateness of such a celebration at a funeral. The lady addressed critics head-on, suggesting that refusing food at a funeral is senseless if offered. She challenged them to turn down food the next time they find themselves at such an event.
