Pastor-politician and former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has advised Christians wasting money on burials to stop it as it is not a Christian custom.
“Read The Scriptures. Christ was buried the SAME DAY He died. Are your parents more Christian than Christ? So how come you put them in mortuaries for days/weeks/months so you can gather big crowds and spend millions on a so-called ‘Christian’ burial?” he wrote on his Twiter page.

His position was reiterated after he was criticized for saying that a Christian burial should be shorn of ostentatious spending and should occur the same day the deceased die.
He further added that the practice is not a Christian custom.
The controversial commentator also claimed that his journey into the study of pre-European Christianity has made him realize the belief that “Jesus is God” is a European concept.
