In a deeply emotional scene during a funeral in Nigeria, an elderly woman has accused “village people” of taking the life of her 94-year-old sister.
The heart-wrenching moment, captured on video, shows the grieving woman tearfully expressing her pain at her sister’s graveside, blaming unseen forces for her sibling’s death.
The 94-year-old woman, a beloved elder in her community, had lived a long life, but her surviving sister was visibly shaken by her loss.
In the video, the woman stands with frail hands raised towards the sky, her voice cracking with sorrow.
As tears streamed down her face, she invoked both her ancestors and God, directing her anger towards those she believed had caused her sister’s demise.
“Everyone who hurt me, the hurt won’t leave their family too, unless I wished any of you evil,” she cried, her anguish echoing through the crowd that had gathered to pay their last respects.
The video, shared on social media by one of her grandchildren, was captioned, “My grandma died at 94. However, here goes her sister still thinking someone ‘da loro’ [hurt her].”
The clip has sparked discussions on traditional beliefs and the deep sense of loss felt by those who mourn their loved ones in rural Nigerian communities.
