Shocked? don’t be. Different strokes for different folks as they say. Besides, what’s wrong with going the extra mile to prove your love, even in death? A Nigerian billionaire whose name has been given as Chief Ade Azikiwe decided to bury his girlfriend with an expensive Hummer SUV instead of the usual casket when she died after a short illness last week.

According to reports, the billionaire promised to give the hummer to the girlfriend when she was sick in a bid to encourage her to get well. And when she died, he decided to honour his promise to her by ensuring that she went underground in the fully loaded hummer.

Onlookers were surprised—considering the fact that the burial took place in a small poor village where most people struggle to have 3 square meals.

In fact, the billionaire himself was worried that thieves would out at night to steal the hummer—and as such ordered for several layers on concrete and cement to be used to cover it. He also hired 6 watchmen to police the graveyard. This is just a girlfriend—perhaps if the wife dies, he will bury her with a whole aeroplane.

Still on expensive burials, in June 2018, a Nigerian from Anambra state identified as Azubuike took the love for his father to his grave as he reportedly buried him in a N32 million BMW car. In a manner which many see as legendary, the man replaced his deceased father’s casket with a vehicle and ensured that the ground was dug for the car and his father to be buried in.

A Facebook user made this known with photos from the burial as he hailed the man who honoured his father.

He wrote: “Nigerian man Azubuike buries his lovely father with a brand new BMW worth about N32 million, in his father’s village at IhIala LGA, Mbosi Anambra state.”

What do you think? Is this iberiberism or something. Comment.
