Seems like the poorest people in the world spend fortunes burying their dead

So you dey Ghana, you die. Your family no go rush bury you. Dem go keep you for fridge for months, sometimes one year, because dem need time to find money to spray for your funeral. How much? $5k to $20k. For country wey people dey earn $1,500 per year. You go take loan, you go stop to chop, you go sell your mattress. All for one weekend party wey people wey never meet you for life go come chop your food and dance. And na this one dem call "respect for elders." But wait same elders go tell you, "Una love corpse pass living person." Na lie? The real gist: na kinship tax. Your family no want you too rich. If you get money, dem go demand am. And funeral na the big show wey dem use destroy your savings so you no go escape. Na so Africa dey stay poor. Modernity? Na when you fit tell your family "No" and hide your money for phone. Privacy na engine of development. Until then, all the wealth go still enter ground with the corpse. Sweet life.
