RITES OF PASSAGE FROM EARTH TO THE HEREAFTER IN EBIRALAND (Funeral Rites) by Amina Anne

In Ebiraland we have two realms of human life. We have “Ehe” : the domain of the living and “Eku”: The land of the dead (also called “Idaneku”) Human passage is from Ehe to Eku and back again, either in the form of a masquerade or a child. We shouldn’t mistake the Ebira idea of “Eku” to the Abrahamic religions idea of Heaven. Ebira idea of “Idaneku” is a strange land far away, where dead people go to after death, a land of shadow and uncertainty, to meet with the Divine where they are treated according to how they lived on earth (Ehe), there is means of coming back from Eku to revisit and reinhabit Ehe (land of the living). The journey to “Idaneku” begins with the death of man and in the Ebira tradition, there are rites to be observed for a smooth transition from Ehe to Eku as this article will try to explain. When the curtain falls in death for an Ebira man (woman), depending on his/her age at death, burial rites begins in earnest. If the dead person is young (child, youth or a person yet to attain a grandparent status), the co**se is hurriedly buried, shrouded in an Ebira traditional cloth popularly called ita-oku-eta and buried behind the compound such person lived in. But in the case of an older person, the rites involved are as stated: We should note that the rites for a male differ (albeit slightly) from that of a female. When a person transition from Ehe to Eku, leaving a co**se, an announcement is first made within the compound the person lives then immediately a cloth (Ita-oku-eta) is hung up, also another cloth called “ubanito”(optional and used for only men) and other traditional wears are hung on the main entrance to the compound of the deceased, this cloth- hanging is called “Avahi” and it serves as an announcement or a sign to passersby that a person who lives in that compound is dead. Messages are then sent to the relatives of the deceased both far and near to come and mourn their loved one. In the past when walking was the only means of transportation, emissaries sent to far away farmlands to inform relatives of the death of a deceased, take days to get there and back, in order to preserve the body from decay, Anebira embalm the body using traditional methods.
