Hey! my people...so this useless practice is still in Nigeria...ehn? as in...how can somebody ask a fellow human being to drink the water used to bath a dead body all to prove innocence? it's just barbaric,wicked,archaic,evil...in fact, purely devilish.
A reader sent this;
I was a happily married woman until the 25th of june 2013, when my husband collapsed and died in his office.i still remember how speechless and frozen i was when the news was broken to me, i wasn't myself for one whole week. His family and mine had a meeting and decided he will be buried on the 28th of august. Everything was already set until my mother-in-law asked for my presence in the village. i went immediately not knowing the reason. she warmly welcomed me and said that we were having a meeting with some family elders the next day. eagerly i went for the meeting, only to be told that i had a hand in my husband's death and to prove my innocence, i must shave my head and drink the bath water of my dead husband. i went mad with anger and refused, my mother-in-law who was formerly nice suddenly turned against me and sided with the elders,demanding i must carry out the practice. please help me what do i do, how do i make them know that i did not kill my husband without shaving my head or drinking the water used to wash his dead body?
you dont av to do what you are not comfortable doing, let them say or do what they feel like doing, God will vindicate you, but i would advise not to drink anything you are not sure of, it could be a way of them trying to poison you sef...if you go to church , i ll say talk to your pastor or elders in ur own family......God will help solve the issue..Amen.
