Dear traditionalists, what are the implications of this?
Why must he be buried there?

[Okanlawon Oluwapelumi]

In many cultures and traditions, people who have drowned in rivers or lakes are often buried nearby as a way to honor and respect the connection between the individual and the body of water.

[Ellap]

What if he is not buried there,is there any implications?

It may be their culture

[okohmichael28]

That could be their culture but is it part of the culture of Jnr Pope people. This is celebrity we are talking about not just anyhow person. I don’t think his people will agree to that

[Esther ogunseemi]

I can’t believe such culture exist…. I think one should be buried in one’s property (land)??
