A lot of religion have different views on this topic,christianity feels after death there will be some kind of judgement either the deceased spend his eternity in hell which represent suffering,or heaven which represent enjoyment for ever this depends on the way he lived his life,while other religion believe the deceased reincarnate and become either disable,poor or rich and good looking,depending on the way he lived his life also
well in a some part in nigeria i know of,the belief differs but similar,almost similar
the yorubas
believe the decease reincarnate somewhere ,so they keep their hopes up..in most cases they believe some of their dead relative reincarnate in the same family,that is why they tend to name the reincarnated child iyabo,babatunde...the formal mean a mother is back,while the later mean a father has returned..couple with the tribal marks
the igala where i came from,our believe is similar with the yorubas,tho we believe some of the deceased come back as masquerades
this beliefs may be bashed in our generation now,but we all are curious to know what really happen to our dead relatives..the brain actually works after death for months before it shut down..what really happens after death is a mistery
