Koto, I think, even though you understand and support the practice of this
concept, you're slightly missed the point karamba tried to insinuate here.
The true meaning and practice of Gamo [maulud Nabi], Ngenteh [christening
ceremony], Daijj [Funeral], hajj [going to and upon returning] and Sayy
[marriage/wedding], had been seriously corrupted and stained during the past
decades, with material, status, class and or, financial gains in mind. I
fully remembered, the 60's and 70's Gamo days at 'Jakka Half-Die,' Anglesea
[Mbayen] and Dobson [Fayen] with true religious meaning and fervor: the
thief, hypocrites, beggarman, adulterer, etc., sit on the sidelines;
nowadays, these are the celebrated he/sheroes [PC]. The most appalling one is
the moneymaking praise-singing at funerals, so disgusting.
What's your take?
