Got this from a LIB reader. Some stories are better told from the horses' mouth...:-). Read below..
"I am an LIB reader and also belong to same club with Dr. Ifeanyichukwu
Nwobodo, the first son of Chief Jim Nwobodo of the old Eastern Anambra
State's governor. We attended the burial of Ifeanyichukwu today being 5th of Dec
but the corpse was no where to be found. Information getting to us was
that the father refused that the first son's corpse will not buried in
his so so large compound, which made the direct siblings of Ifeanyi
hijack his corpse pending when the father agrees the corpse be buried in
his so so so large compound. We have all deserted the premises. Not
even the presence of Chief Ekwueme, Peter Obi and Sen. Ngige and other
prominent people could change Chief Jim Nwobodo's mind. It was
terrible." See pics after the cut...
Hmmmm drama.
ReplyDeleteI can confirm this story 100%...its a sad one. Not even the governors present could make any difference.
DeleteMay his soul rest in peace
DeleteNawa. May his soul rest in peace. They should sort their differences and bury the guy biko.
DeleteI confirm this story.am frm amechi same village with the former governor. It was gathered that he will the compound to his second wife against the tradition of the people that first only only inherit the main compound. Thou ifeanyi lost that right bc he died b4 his pather. So the compound was suppose to be willed to his younger brother chisonwa. So as soon as the kins men learnt wat he did they hijack the corps
DeleteHmmmm

ReplyDeleteHe mustbe an occultic man and sumtin bad might happen if de bury him in his comp.tufia to ajo ihe!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMoses and co,can we try seeing this from another angle?what if they were not in good terms wen he was alive?what if he did an unforgivable thing to the father and was disowned even while alive?the man wldnt openly reject not laying his first son in his compound bcos of juju/rituals.for the siblings to take it softly and even kept body pending when the man agrees says a lot.meaning there was a big conflict btw d dead and the living
DeleteWho holds a grudge with the dead?.....##when there are so many living persons u can hate on
DeleteWho holds a grudge with the dead?.....##when there are so many living persons u can hate on
Delete@the perfect, their relationship was ok b4 his death. The father said he called everyday to know his condition when he was at the hospital. The father also said his death is Doctor's fault. So the father knows the reason why he's behaving this way.
DeleteThere's notting like "unforgivable sin" jorr. .
DeleteThe father must have his reasons
ReplyDeleteSo sad!!!!!!RIP

May his soul rest in peace. If Chief Jim Nwobodo doesn't want his son to be buried in his compound, what happens to the burial ground? They shld bury him there.
ReplyDeleteWat a story.
ReplyDeleteNah wa! R.I.P.
ReplyDeleteThis is serious, may be the father is heart broken and does not want to see his son's grave everyday!

ReplyDeleteTins dat happen sef.
ReplyDeleteHaa what sort of drama is this? I thought graveyards are there for a purpose? And if you check it well,most of them fighting over the corpse may not have had a good time with the deceased when he was alive.
ReplyDeleteArrant nonsense. You mentioned Dr Alex Ekwueme and Mr. Peter Obi but did not mention your name. Your story is disjointed. At 43 a man should have his own home including wife and children. Why bury him in his father's compound. You are a funeral undertaker following corpses around.
ReplyDeleteAs the first son, the father's country home is his birth right so he's not expected to build another house in the same village except he wishes to.
Deleteyes its his birth right but y didnt he jst build his own....abeg dats no xcuse
DeleteLmao @funeral undertaker following corpses around. Lol
DeleteFunny enough u no come mention ur name...Sen. Ike Ekweremmadu also was around and left like us...Bishop Chukwuma of Enugu Dioceses of Anglican Communion try all possible best to intervene but to no avail...like I said, I was there...

ReplyDeleteI smell sometin meaty here..is it tha that the man knows what happened to the son? All dis men shaa
ReplyDeleteI couldn’t control my laughter when I first read this. "... His direct siblings hijacked the corpse... "
ReplyDeleteLet them hijack the corpse while Jim Nwobodo hijacks his compound. Good for them.
May the soul of the departed keep resting in peace.
Amen.

ReplyDeleteLindiway u dont use to acknowledge ur mails ohh.....
ReplyDelete#strange
ReplyDeleteNawa ooo
ReplyDeleteCult pple
ReplyDeleteBizzare stories everywhere. ....
ReplyDeletethis pure wickedness
ReplyDeleteWhy should his corpse be buried in his father's so so so big compound?! For what? Because he was the first son? So in even in death, he wants to share property?! But more importantly, it is NEVER done! So his father should wake up every morning and view his son's grave, abi? Traditionally, you don't bury a son in his father's compound when the father is still alive!
ReplyDeleteThat's my village.. And that is not the tradition there. It is sooooo done. That is why the siblings and aaall the elders in my village are protesting it. He's just a puppet doing the bidding of his young wife, who wants her own son who is the youngest of Nwobodo's four sons to inherit the compound. Now that is the one that is NEVER done. That's why she's going to try to kill them off one after another until only her son is left. Everyone knows she's vile.
DeleteYou are very right. People just comment without thinking about tradition. Where I come from, a father cannot be alive and his son who died before him be buried in his house. This computer about jet age is just making everybody think with their heads elsewhere.
DeleteI am a cousin of the siblings . I can tell you that woman is vile . Uncle has 6 sons actually @anonymous the his 3rd wife. Patricia is trying take every thing for her children. I am glad my cousins are fighting back it's about time.
DeleteIt is well oo

ReplyDeletethis is serious and there must be reasons behind all that (eleyele1@yahoo.com)
ReplyDelete#Otokoto
ReplyDeleteabeg d deceased no get compound?
ReplyDeleteThere is more to this story.
ReplyDeleteThere is something we are not told.
ReplyDeleteSad story. Well still shining.
It's sooo glaring .. Something definitely is fishy here
ReplyDeleteIts two things,either it's their traditional or hmmmm...he's an occult person.somthing is definitely outta place
ReplyDeleteThere is more to this whole saga.. Smelling a rat ...Jim understands better
ReplyDeleteMay his gentle soul RIPu
ReplyDeleteJim Nwobodo is not from Anambra state o for your information. Well na them sabi.
ReplyDeleteno tradition in igbo land does dis... it is ritual tins, where does he want the son to be buried meanwhile if the son is married nd has his own house dey should go bury him in his compound...
ReplyDeleteI smell occultic powers smwia
ReplyDelete#*karlishah*
Ah ah...the whole tin s jus like a movie...can't believe it haappened for real...may his soul rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteThey should allow the young soul to rest in peace, if the father said no, well maybe there is a reason, its better to look for another compound.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm...odikwa egwu o! RIP sir!
ReplyDeleteThat man must be wicked chaii may i soul rest in peace
ReplyDeleteNo parent would want to wake up every morning to see the burial ground of his/her child, I think this may be the reason for him doing this, people do not do this (especially in Yoruba land), if the son has his own house then he should be buried there and if not he should be taken to cemetery.
ReplyDeletePatricia his second wife has since hijacked Jim, this is a woman that gave every MD of the Savannah Bank wahala because she wanted to head the bank but her qualifications where limiting her, she was just a lawyer so should be only a GM but that was not enough for her.
ReplyDeleteShe so caused so much hell in the bank that they were changing MD like wrapper every day.
My father and I went to see Jim about 10 years ago for a favour, he directed to his wife.
My dear, Patricia has scraped the man's brain.
My take.
May his soul rest in peace
ReplyDeleteAm sure after they read this on LBIS he might pass out lol.. Noting is hidden again. He should give his son a good burial and forget rituals
ReplyDeletefashionitazbybuiti.blogspot.com
Occultist
ReplyDeleteRip
ReplyDeleteI thought that the son at his age would have his own plot and premises. Maybe he was not a thief and did not accrue illgotten wealth that will allow him to be buried in the peace of his enclave. Its time for Nigerians around the corners of the country to start burying people at a cemetry.
ReplyDeleteHis business
ReplyDeleteKia may hiz soul rest in peace oO
ReplyDeleteA grown man should have his own home. Thus, that should be his place of rest. Just my view. Keep Daddy aside.
ReplyDeleteAnd to imagine that people travelled down to come and eat and drink. no call me longer throat oh! I dey quick vex oh.
ReplyDeleteNo cemetry? Or it is their custom that the first should be buried in his compound. May his soul rest in perfect peace. Amen
ReplyDeletefathers or mothers should be the ones that could be buried on their children's compound not other way round.thats abominative biko
ReplyDeleteIs d compound tower of babylon dat he won't bury his own first son there. Even if d son offended him what stopped him from forgiving him after all we offend God and HE forgave us. He knows why he doesn't want to bury him in his compound mouth sealed biko
ReplyDeletewhere is burial grounds. it is not good to bury at home.
ReplyDeletePolygamy is a crime, whether christian or moslem
ReplyDeleteE mase o....things are happening. FATHER where art thou ????
ReplyDeleteShouldnt they have decided on that during the planning of the burial? why the whole fuss now.
ReplyDeleteNa wah ooo..anyways may his soul rest in peace
ReplyDeleteNawa ooooo Rip
ReplyDeleteD man being to a cult dat is y he refuse
ReplyDeleteKa mpuru obi ya zuo ike na ndokwa ... Amen!

ReplyDeleteR.I.P
ReplyDeleteIts well
ReplyDeletehmmmm real drama
ReplyDeleteSome people just comment without considering certain things. The Igbo tradition for bits a father burning his first son or even any of his sons. Where I come from of a man's first son dies before the father, he must be buried outside the father's house. Chief Nwobodo is an Igbo chief who knows the tradition of the land. Most of Linda's commentators are fake Igbo and computer Igbo. Duke

ReplyDeleteI don't understand this story does the compound matter igbo pple are sick
ReplyDeleteRIP. Obumnemeudeze@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteWhat are you all saying? Do you know your traditions at all? By tradition, he is not supposed to be buried in his farher's compound because he is young.
ReplyDeletehe is the father of who died. why not leave him alone to do whatever it pleases him on his son's corpse.
ReplyDeletemjabdulk@gmail.com
Igbo people and their rigid ways!!!
ReplyDeleteNa wao
ReplyDeleteI wonder what his problem is ooo
ReplyDeleteDon't really get this..is it that the father deems his environ to precious to bear a corpse or does he rather a more beautiful and adorned substitute is provided
ReplyDeleteRead through the comments and I agree that Nwobodo brought the embarrassment upon himself. VERY SAD INDEED!
ReplyDeleteHe went about it the very traditional way, which I want to explain well.
In many parts of the old Anambra state which includes present day Enugu state when the 1st son dies while his father is alive, he loses his place as the 1st son. This position goes on to the 2nd son. By burying him in that compound, you give the right to him.
Now the 2nd son can insist that he still wants his older brother buried somewhere in the compound. This appears to be what happened, but Jim still disagreed.
It also appears that Jim due to his disagreement with his ex wife Mukosolu, he wants to keep the main compound for 2nd wife Pat's son, who is the youngest of his sons. My guess is that he may be trying to do it where he gives Pat his main house, and by Igbo rights, the youngest son inherits his mother's property!
People asking why his son didnt build, dont understand the culture. While he was alive, the compound belonged to him, there was no need to build because thats how it goes in the village. In Igbo land, you dont see a 1st son getting a plot away from the main family compound, unless he is trying to build a house to suit his taste, wants one with more land. Some renovate the preexisting house, or tear it down completely.
Jim has succeeded in letting people know his true colours. This should have been settled before the burial!
For those saying cemeteries, In Igbo land, we dont do that either. It is only done when person is really young, unmarried, no children, divorced (so issues regarding where to bury), or if the person had conveyed such wishes or was buried abroad.
Igbo folks on here, ask your parents and grand parents and sadly the answer will be the same.
