Before I reveal it to a crowd of claps, let me just say this.
In this country, attending a funeral is a matter of course--and not because the relatives who have been handling and managing it for many funerals of relatives say so.
The assumption is that by attending the funerals of relatives (often a three-day affair comprising: wake-keeping; burial; and service on Sunday), you earn a reputation for being seen at them, therefore increasing your ability of having other relatives attend in the unfortunate event that it befalls you.
This can result in a young man or woman attending many funerals of the relatives of cousins/uncles/grand-you name it. This, so that you gain moral points for having ticked off the funeral box of relatives.
Well, I got me a solution to all that.
In the event you decide to become a rebel and not attend any funerals of any relatives, here's what you do:
1. Become a Muslim. This is because in the event your earthly time is up, you can simply avoid the ignominy of a no-show from all whose funerals you missed...by getting buried the following day!

I'd like to comment on the words from the 44th President of the USA.
If it wasn't for a giant like Nkruma, Ghana might still be stuck in the grip of her oppressors like South Africa.
If Obama wishes to relate to African giants in a negative way, then I suggest he should look out from his adoptive yard.
In the USA there is still racial segregation, de facto. Meaning, non-white persons are not in as much control of their lives as they would dream to think.
Barrak Obama obviously feels more free when he steps on African land. Hence his delirium surrounding Indigenous Americans running 'The White House'.
Did it ever cross your mind that Barak Obama just might be America's Trojan Horse?
Think about it!
