73-year-year-old Clement Usoro, has revealed the reasons behind his decisions to build his grave and even celebrated his funeral before his demise.

During an interview with BBC Pidgin, Usoro said he made the necessary preparations for his death three years ago when he marked his 70th birthday anniversary.

The septuagenarian also revealed that has written his wills but he keeps updating it to “keep up with time.”

“I have written my will and will continuously update it to keep up with time. I have built my grave. It is a 9 by 9 feet deep grave. I have also built a mausoleum around it.

“My friend went with me to the coffin site to see the one that I liked. He decided to buy for me. As somebody who is a chief, there are things you have to do before you die or they do after you die” he said.

Chief Usoro further disclosed that he has paid the necessary rites to his co-chiefs by giving “cow” so that his children will know what to worry about after his death.

He said he does not want his family to do a ceremony after his demise, adding that a party to celebrate his death is a “waste of money and time.”
