Yul Edochie says spending money lavishly on burials is unnecessary as it is a waste of resources.

Yul Edochie added that a person should be celebrated while he is still alive and not after death.

Narrating how someone had asked him for a loan to organise burial ceremony for his father, he said it is a total waste to him.

Edochie in a tweet said: “I don’t understand the concept of spending so much money on burials. Total waste to me!”

“A person’s life should be celebrated when he or she is alive to join in the celebration, not in death”
