Jim Nwobodo's son Dr. Ifeanyi Nwobodo buried at uncle's compound
The remains of Sen. Jim Nwobodo's first son, Dr. Ifeanyi Chukwu Nwobodo was finally laid to rest today.
He was buried in his father's elder brother's house, Chief John
Nwobodo, Chairman of old Enugu Local Govt. Area...after his dad refused to allow his corpse buried in his compound. A source related to the family told LIB;
"From the
look of things, he was apparently buried on the arrangement of the
church and his siblings as his father was not seen around. His father's
awareness of his burial could be traced from the heavy presence of
security personnel in guard of his compound though he was not seen and
also his second wife. Ifeanyi was buried in his uncle's house which
shares the same fence with the fathers house instead of his fathers
(irony of life)."
Shame on such a useless father, watch very well na dat man kill his son. Why d vehement opposition to burying ur first son, ur own blood in ur compound. Blood sucking cultists.
Shame on d father.... RIP to da dead... Abi em go disown em broda for lettin dem use his compound?cos na em callin be dat,lik em disown HIM first wife children.
Eeya may his RIP amen.. What I like about Blackberry is the pinging and the smartness, whenever I ping someone and that person read my pinging it'll show me R. And that R mean the person has read my pinging I really love bold 5, and the way I used to move from one application like facebook to whatsApp and to other applications, and whenever I take pictures with my Blackberry bold 5. It always clear and finer is my number one among the rest phones pictures, also with Blackberry protect when my former Bold 2 was stolen, it was Blackberry protect I used to get all my contact back because I used Blackberry protect to back-up all my contact before it was stolen, that is what I really love about blackberry.

Nawa oh, like one of these Nollywood home video. Naija and burial sha. may his soul continue to rest in peace, that body is jst a matter that will only occupy space, so bury am anywhere
Eternal rest grant unto him and let ur perpetual light shine upon him,may the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace,AMEN.
This is what happens when you have a cultist as a father. Only God knows the deal he has with Satan. If am among his kids, when he dies, we will leave his corpse to rot in his bedroom.
Jim is a very wicked man, whatever it is that made him not want his son buried in his compound.How did this country allow a man with this kind of stony heart act as a governor? Playing politics with his children shamelessly before the whole world, is he the only man that has gotten married twice. Who doesn't know the jealousy and bitter feelings in a home that has more than one mothers, an adult like Jim could not rear his head above those negative feelings. He allowed negative feelings smear him black before the whole world because he failed to use his head. What father has the heart to not allow his child be buried inside his compound? What father, I am so unhappy about this. Let me chill please, I am not related to them and it doesn't concern me but this is the height of wickedness which is why I am reacting like this. angelo8z8@yahoo.com
Thank God he has been laid to rest, I also wonder what would be going on in his father's mind....that of sympathy or regrets as he has disowned the others.smh
I AN IBO WOMAN AND JIM NWOBOD IS A DISGRACE TO THE IBO CULTURE, WHAT A BIG DISGRACE PATRICIA HAS WRECKED THIS FAMILY IT SHALL NEVER BE WELL WITH HER.
ARE HER CHILDREN THE ONLY CHILDREN OF JIM NWOBODO, FOR GOD'S GOODNESS SAKE IFEANYI IS "DIOPKALA" AND HIS SON IS THE NEXT IN LINE TO UPHOLD THE NWOBODO'S NAME.
SHAME ON JIM NWOBODO AND HIS NEW WIFE. IF JIM NWOBODO DIDNT DO THE RIGHT THING BY HIS LATE SON BECAUSE OF MEMORY LOSS DUE TO OLD AGE, WHAT ABOUT YOU GIVING HIM A VOICE OF REASONING? WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND. Why would any good father does that to his son just because of his differences with his ex wife? Very stupid action on his part irrespective of what his problem might be with the disease siblings.
Sad development.......very disappointed and suspicious of their father; Jim Nwobodo. How can u be alive and your own son is buried in another man's compound. Dats a great sacrilege where am 4rm.
Life! men and thr wickedness towards thr own blood. Iv experienced it, n I know wat it feels like. May his gentle soul RIPP. Its really painful, but God knows best. P4dworld@gmail.com
Hmmmmmmmm, irony of life indeed.....there is more 2 dis story, but d papa no try.....if according 2 Jim dey did all he accused them of, I don't understand why his elder broda would allow them bury d guy in his compound....well sha, na dem sabi....my his soul rest in peace
I don't think its right to bury ones child in the same compound when the the father is alive. I don't think it is done anywhere! what I understand is that if the father dies is the first son that gets the property the dead is buried in. Infact, the father should not even witness the burial of the child. That's it.
Didn't know they are these many ignorant people of Igbo culture including Igbos who comment on this blog. Too bad Linda is not a journalist.
It is not only in Igbo culture but in many African culture, a titled man (depending on the title) is forbidden to see a dead corpse especially that of his son even more so his heir (first son). There are many such customs throughout Igboland and Africa in general.
The Burial rites in Igboland is still observed by a lot of people. Ifeanyichukwu being buried in his uncle's compound is not new nor should be looked as at something sinister. Chief Jim Ifeanyichukwu Nwobodo (Ifeanyi's dad) is the one who should be buried first in the middle of his living room before his son.
So to those who don't understand or want to know more about Igbo customs they should read books written by the late Prof. Adiele Afigbo...,"Igbo History and Society: The Essays of Adiele Afigbo"

At long last. I dislike this Jim Nwobodo now after this wholefamily drama. A man should bbe able to manage his family affairs.
Life! His father disowned him in death. Na wa o. I read the story but I felt rather irritated by Jim Nwobodo's utterances.
I hope d father won't send thugs to remove d corpse from his brother's compound. Igbo pple and their wahala
