In Western society, death is often a cause for sadness and quiet consideration. This has led to certain traditions becoming prevalent, such as the custom of wearing black and being somber at funerals, including having very simple and dull coffins. Of course, around the world traditions and customs differ significantly, with many cultures seeing a death as a way to celebrate the persons life. This means that sometimes people are buried in far more elaborate coffins that might seem shocking to some people but are perfectly acceptable to others, take a look at those funny coffins:
For those people who love fishing or had a burning desire to be buried within a giant fish, this is perfect choice.

UA REMINISCENCE OF PASTOR W F KUMUYI ON AN INCIDENT IN 1951
"I remembered yesterday in particular about 1951, when I was in school and the teachers drilled me and the rest of us so much in the different subjects. I didn't like this, especially how they treated me in particular, so I decided not to go to school again. That day, I went back home, not knowing that my dutiful father did not go to work as usual. I was surprised to see him at home.
"He asked me why I came home and I told him that we were told to go and bring money for harvest. He asked me how much, I told him and he took the amount, put it in his pocket and said we should go back to school together. On getting there, my father met the headmaster, and told him I came home, and the headmaster responded that he had wanted to contact my father to report to him that I've not been coming to school.
"So my father, very militant and a disciplinarian to the core told the headmaster to get all the pupils together in the assembly hall and the head-boy was told to back me and my father personally whipped me in front of all the school. It was painful and I felt very ashamed. The following day, my father told me to go to school and warned me that if I didn't stay, he would deal with me again.
"I became bold and told him I was no longer going to school because of what he did to me the previous day. He asked me what I wanted to do and I said farming, so he gave me a cutlass and I went to the farm. He didn't discourage me not to go. I got to the farm and cut off all the cocoyams and other things there. I did the same thing the following day.
"That was when my father realized that my future would be endangered, so before the following term started, he called and sat me down and said he did not have education, but wanted me to have it. He said this was why he did what he did and for the first time, he apologized and said he was sorry. So, I said okay and went back to school.
"If I didn't go back to school, and said my father whipped and disgraced me in front of everybody,
• I won't be where I am today,
• I would not have gone to secondary school,
• I would not have gone to the university,
• I would not have made a 1st class in Mathematics,
• I would not have established Deeper Life Bible Church.
"Go back to school, go back to your family, go back to your home, don't say you can never go back because of what happened.
"NEVER SAY NEVER
"A great future is before you, swallow your pride, and think about your future".
I have always loved writing. Writing is not a passing fancy, not a hobby but the very life itself. I remember when I told my friends, way back in university, that I want to write to live and live to write, the look of consternation on their faces was enough to tell me that they considered it a foolhardy quest. But I wasnt deterred by their taunts; my iron resolve would not be broken by friends who did not understand my romance with the written word. After my declaration, some of my friends fled from me as fast as Joseph from Potiphars wife.
This romance with writing also affected my relationships in school; secretly, I was searching for a girl who could polish words with the skill of a diamond cutter, who could seduce the entire tribe of words and make them do her bidding. These relationships were short lived. Writing, you know, is a very jealous lover.
Luckily for me, my first job after the compulsory national youth service was in a regional paper. I didnt mind if the readership wasnt wide; I just wanted to write and for the first time, I was being paid to write; something I would ordinarily have done for free.
I was over the moon when I got my first salary; it didnt occur to me that I was being paid a pittance. I felt like Dangote, I walked on clouds. Nothing is as good as doing what you love doing and being paid for it.
But again, my friends were not impressed; their corrosive cynicism sometimes made me cringe, and it got to me in moments of self-doubt. Really, shouldnt dreams be made of sterner stuff?
I kept my dream alive and spent money buying books written by masters of the craft. Writing is serious business, and I realised early, that 90 per cent of writing is done by reading. From Wole Soyinka to Gabriel Marcia Marquez, Ben Okri to J.M Coetzee, I read anything I could lay my hands, to hone my skills.
And this paid off. I got the exceptional privilege to write for two national newspapers in the country, Gosh! I totally enjoyed writing my interview columns for Vanguard and later The Guardian. I met people who, in their own way, convinced me I was on the right path and that, writers are the barometers of a nations health.
Some of those friends, who taunted me, started calling me up when they saw my stories in the newspapers; one of them who now resides in London, wrote every week to inform me that he read my page regularly on the Internet. And his joy knew no bounds when we met up in a swanky caf in central London, after my guest appearance on BBC Network Africa programme. My guy na wa this writing thing don take you far o, he said in Pidgin English.
Now, you can imagine his shock when he heard that I had taken a job in a bank, and then left for an oil and gas company.
What is a writer doing in the corporate world, he queried. The news that I had moved soon spread among my friends like ink spilled on white cloth.
I had murdered sleep; my cell phone rang continuously in a staccato of jangling peal. The sound of my phone ringing gave me jitters. I had to explain over and over again why I had to switch careers. But come to think of it, do I really owe them any explanation?
Anyway, most of them didnt know that during my stint in journalism, I had developed a passion for media strategy, a passion that opened the portals of my mind and changed my primary perception.
I am having a good time cheating on my jealous lover writing. My love, however, is like the moon, that does not wane. This is not an adulterous relationship, but a case of a man in love with two women, and knows exactly how to handle them. A successful man creates time for everything; I attend to one lover in the still of the night when slothful men find sleep irresistible.
LAST WORD: For my people who kept the flame burning this one is for you and you know who you are!

1. Nigeria is the seventh-most populous country in the world, home to more than 200 million people. While that may be a lot of people, population numbers would likely be even higher if it weren't for the country's high mortality rates and low life expectancy.
2. While there are a number of different religions practiced in Nigeria, the majority of the population is either Christian or Muslim.
3. The town of Igbo-Ora is known as the nation's home of twins. Many of the local Yoruba people believe their consumption of yams and okra leaves to be the cause of their high birth rate of twins. While some fertility experts believe that certain yams contain a natural hormone that could cause multiple ovulation, there is no scientific evidence of this phenomenon.
4. Nigeria is a diverse multiethnic country with more than 520 spoken languages. While English is the official language, Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo are also major languages in the country.
5. Lagos, the former capital of Nigeria before being moved to Abuja, is the country's largest and most populous city and has been dubbed "Africa's Big Apple," in reference to New York City.
6. The country's film industry, known as Nollywood, is one of the largest film producers in the world, second only to India's Bollywood.
7. Nigeria is home to Aliko Dangote, the richest man in Africa. Dangote's business interests in agriculture, banking, cement, manufacturing, salt and sugar have earned his net worth of more than $12 billion.
8. Largely due to its export market, Nigeria is the largest economy in Africa. While the agricultural industry accounts for approximately 70 percent of the country's employment, petroleum products are the primary exportaccounting for more than 90 percent of Nigeria's exports.
9. Like in other African countries, some Nigerians consider the left hand to be unclean and using it to be a sign of disrespect. Those that believe this do not eat, shake hands or receive items with their left hand.
10. Despite gaining their independence in 1960, Nigeria has remained a member of the British Commonwealth, an association of 53 sovereign states. The country is also a member of the African Union.
