1 / 5

A woman and her guests were reportedly barred from the reception venue after her mother’s funeral in Edo State because she could not meet her siblings’ requested contribution of ₦2.5 million for the hall. The woman, said to be the eldest child, reportedly explained that she could not afford the amount as a single civil servant. She contributed a smaller sum, but was allegedly denied entry on the day of the funeral. She and her guests were left outside in the rain and reportedly served food from the boot of a car. A video of the incident has sparked reactions online.

Families can prevent this by setting a realistic budget early, documenting contributions, and agreeing that nobody should be excluded over money.
