@NigeriaStories A foreign doctor said that in Nigeria, so many people were buried alive because they were presumed dead without proper, professional medical certification.
I felt that!

@NigeriaStories Lmaoo, most Nigerians don’t actually allow Doctors to verify people dead. They on their own just believe someone is dead once they aren’t moving or something.
