Mortuary-Man Whose Worked For 32yrs Reveals Wierd Reason Why He Loves Dead Bodies



Mortuary-man who's worked for 32 years reveals weird reasons why he loves dead bodies

However, just as bankers, journalists and other professionals love their jobs and do them wholeheartedly, mortuary men also love dealing with dead bodies.

A 57-year-old Ugandan man, Basil Enatu who has worked on dead bodies as mortuary attendant for the past 32 years is one of those few men who don’t see anything wrong with working at the mortuary, and would choose it over any other job.

The father of 10 boys and two girls has been reportedly working at the Soroti Regional Referral Hospital in Uganda for not less than 32 years, and has narrated the challenges of his work and his motivation for doing it for over three decades.

He told Uganda's Daily Monitor: “At the time when I used to drink a local brew, people would not want to share a drinking straw or calabash with me. I also noticed a scenario where a vendor had to wash the tube I used for taking the brew using hot water. People do not even want to share a pot or shake hands with me,” Enatu is quoted as saying.

Despite the challenges as he enumerated, he still loves being a mortuary attendant, for which reason he has done it for years without getting fed up. The harmlessness of dead bodies is what he loves so much, hence his unflinching love for his job.

“I love working on bodies because they do not complain, do not fight, are humble, and are not trouble causers.

“After all, rich or poor, all are buried the same way by being lowered into the grave..." he said.

Well, if everybody is shying away from working at the mortuary, then who will dress and keep corpses for families until they are ready to bury their deceased loved ones? Definitely, some people must sacrifice to do that, just as Basil Enatu and others, and they must be appreciated rather than ostracised.

SHOCKING!!! Ogboni Leader Lists Popular Members Says Members Attend Churches, Mosques

A seasoned administrator and chartered accountant, Francis Oluwagbenro Meshioye, the Olori Oluwo (Supreme Leader) of the Reformed Ogboni Fraternity has said being a member does not stop members from practising religions of their choice. In an interview with the Nigerian Tribune, he explained the fraternity takes its roots from Nigerian culture. On the negative perception of the group and what attracted him, Meshioye said: “I wanted to understand my culture, to know why I am here. Why was I not born in India as a Hindu or in China to embrace their culture and religion? This made me to begin to look within myself to know who I am and I extended this to what I have within my area. I am a firm believer in the Yoruba saying, ‘Animo ni peregun laso’ meaning you add to whatever you have.

Air Peace De-board Passenger For Asking Attendant To Translate Safety Instructions To Igbo Because 'He Does Not Speak English'

Iwarah declared that his de-boarding was necessary in a bid to guarantee the safety of its crew and customers and said it would not tolerate an act that would jeopardise safety on any of its flights. A passenger with Air Peace was today de-boarded by the airline over claims that he could not communicate in English during safety briefing. The passenger identified as Mr. Christopher Aniagboso told the cabin crew to translate the safety briefing for passengers in the over-wing exit seats in Igbo language and not English as is the standard. The airline in a statement by its spokesman, Mr. Chris Iwarah, said that other passengers around him offered to translate what was being said in English to him, but he insisted that the crew must brief him in Igbo language. Besides, Iwarah said that efforts to relocate the unruly passenger from his seat to the other proved abortive despite the intervention of the cockpit crew. He, however, said that the passenger who had earlier on May
