The problem with this and similar myths is that in many cases, "evil people" in the village harm you in secret and immediately attribute it to the gods or your dead father you have not "properly" buried
In Igboland, if you did not bury your father with a cow, or your father did not bury his father with a cow, you as the son cannot give another person a cow at any funeral.
If you do so, Amadioha will strike you dΒ£ad.
Biko, has anyone seen this play out, or is it just a myth?
