He continue say, right from di time wen Omije Ojumi die, dem don gather di family, community elders, and her people from papa and mama side for beta discussion on how burial go take happen. Di family head, Mr. Wale Akinnaanu, don even gree say dem fit do di burial within one week to reduce di wahala wey dey for his health and dem no wan keep di body too long for morgue.
But after dem reason am more, dem conclude say since Omije Ojumi get husband and pikin, and with both her parents don pass on, wetin be better one na make di family provide better burial wey get respect.
