Happy Mothers Day to my mama, all Abesigators and all mothers all over the world 🌍
But be careful with John. If he comes around saying that I sent him to come for food and drinks it’s a big LIE

Our culture

If you think a Dagara funeral is a party with free pito and Jollof, you aren't a guest—you’re a looter.

I remember my father pulling me aside before my first major funeral in the village. I was dressed up, looking for where the food was smelling loudest. He gripped my shoulder and said, "A man who feeds his stomach before he feeds the spirits is a man who will leave this earth unheard."

Most of you show up, head straight for the plastic chairs, and wait for a bowl of rice like you’re at a restaurant. You’re doing it all wrong. Our funerals aren't just social gatherings; they are a strategic, three-step spiritual mission. If you miss the order, you’ve missed the point.

1. The Stage: Paying the Gatekeepers
Your first stop isn't the bar; it’s the co**se. Whether you are a man, woman, or child, you go to where the deceased is laid in state. You mourn. You look death in the face.

*The Uncomfortable Truth: You don't just stand there. You drop money at the stage. This isn't "dash." This is for the Bow Uume—the underground carriers. And watch out, because if the grandkids are sharp, they’ll be competing for that cash. If they were Catholic, you drop more in the bowl for Mass requests.

If you haven't stood by the body, you haven't arrived at the funeral.

2. The Guopuo: Respect the Vibrations
Next, you move to the Guopuo—the ground of the Gyil and the dirges. This is where most of you fail. You walk past the xylophonists like they are background Spotify.

*The Protocol: You drop money on the ground for the Gyilgmiɛrɛ (xylophonists) and Kɔ-gmiɛrɛ (gourd beaters). Then, you drop money in the basket tied to the gyil itself. Why? Because wood wears out and strings break.

*The Participation: You don’t just watch; you respond to the dirges. You wait your turn. When the Langkonme (dirge singer) or the bowl-bearer passes, you give. That money is their "salary" for a free service that keeps our ancestors happy. If you brought your own team, this is when they take over.

If you can't open your wallet for the music, close your mouth when the food comes.

3. The Consolation: The Last Stop
Only after you have exhausted your turn at the instruments and the stage do you go looking for the bereaved family. Sometimes, if your voice was strong enough at the dirge ground, they’ll hear you and come to meet you. That is when you console them. That is when you give your main donation. And only then do you sit down for the water or the pito they’ve organized.

The Modern Decay
In our modern "civilized" world, we’ve reversed the order. We look for the VIP tent first. We give the "big money" to the family to look important, but we ignore the Langkonme who is losing her voice and the Gyilgmiɛrɛ whose hands are blistering.
We are happy to pay for the "show," but we are stingy with the "spirit." We treat our traditional masters like beggars while we act like philanthropists.

*Is a Dagara funeral still a bridge to the ancestors, or has it just become an expensive lunch date for the living?

What else do you have to add or subtract on this?
