Background
A woman ignited online debate after posting a clip in which she enumerated the dishes allegedly served at a funeral for actor Alexx Ekubo.
Response to Critics
In the video, she countered accusations that mourners were more interested in food than grief, arguing that partaking in refreshments at a funeral is customary when they are offered.
Menu Described
According to her, the spread included small chops, goat meat pepper soup, catfish pepper soup, and the traditional pairing of roasted corn and pear.
Comment on the Pear
She singled out the pear for its exceptional size, quipping that those who criticize eating at funerals should simply decline the food if they attend such events.
Atmosphere and Celebration
The woman added that attendees also danced, portraying the gathering as a celebration of a life well lived and fulfilled, even though the deceased was only 40 years old.
Her Exact Words
She remarked, “So this was everything I ate at Alexx Ekubo’s funeral. Now for those of you that say ‘you people went there to eat, why did you people eat’. If it reaches your turn and they give you food at a funeral, use it to rub on your body. Cry and use the tears to rub on your body. Anyway, we had small chops, goat meat pepper soup, I think they also had catfish pepper soup, but I ate the goat meat pepper soup… And finally, corn and pear. Oh my goodness, it was wonderful to see corn and pear. And this pear—I don’t know where they got it from because it was enormous.
After that we danced, yes, we danced because we are celebrating a man who lived a good and fulfilled life at 40….”
