Maimuna Anyene died with her four children (Kamsi, 2, twins Kayna and Kayne 1, and Kamal, 7 months), her husband, mother and other relatives in last Sunday’s Dana crash, while heading to Lagos to attend her younger brother’s wedding, which was scheduled to take place yesterday, June 9th. A total of nine members of the same died on that day in that crash.Maimuna lived in the US, and was in Nigeria with her kids specifically to spend time with her husband who lived mostly in Nigeria and to attend her brother’s wedding. But they all died in the ill fated flight.
Ndako Mijindadi, Maimuna’s younger brother went ahead with his wedding despite losing Maimuna and eight other family members in that crash. The wedding took place yesterday at the Incubator, Victoria 
Island, Lagos.
Island, Lagos.Ndako is now being heavily criticized for going ahead with the wedding, especially considering the dead are yet to be buried. Was he wrong for going ahead with it? What would you do?

Totally wrong. ! Weddings can be moved .
NO. She and her family would have wanted it that way. With the wedding done everyone can now grieve properly and focus on her wake. What possible good would have come from not proceeding?lexi
Respecting the dead means going on with your life. People think they are respecting the dead by ending their own lives, restricting their own goals and happiness. I find that practice as disrespectful because that loved one would not want you to stop living in honor of their death or misfortune.lexi
No, of course he wasn’t “wrong”. How is honoring his planned wedding any kind of “disrespect”? Having his wedding can easily be seen as a way of honoring the great loss he suffered. It is no one’s business to criticize him, it is his choice to make. Respect his choice.
Are kidding me???????? Totallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy wrong and I can’t stretch it enough! I am still hurting about her/entire family’s death. She is no where related to me and I tell her story as if I knew her personally, super disappointed with her brother….smh
You can’t say that…you dont know her and her family. So please repect them
To me, this wedding is an honour to the dead, if he had cancelled the wedding, then the reason they have died is defeated. Now the dead can rest in peace, death should not stop us.
totally wrong.
Wedding could have waited….
That’s what they would have wanted. For the wedding to hold. After that, they can all now mourn the dead properly. Instead of having to mourn before the wedding takes place.
I don’t tink it was wrong,wud moving his wedding hav brought the dead back? Goin on wit his weddin was the best honour he cud give the departed
Going ahead with the wedding wasnt a bad idea because wedding ceremony is not something that you can wake up one day and cancel the date no matter what except the absence of one partner. Actually the death of his sister and her entire family was a very painfull occurrence but we cant reverse it and cancelling the wedding can not bring them back to life. we only pray that God will grant them eternal rest.
Shocked at our reasoning sometimes. Postponing the wedding is just a matter of showing respect for the dead. It won’t hurt anyone. Noone is asking him to end his life but at least show respect. All these people ended their lives trying to love you, u can do the same by postponing this wedding. Haba, it seems very insensitive. Their bodies are still lying there not buried and we go on eating and drinking and getting married?
I think it was wrong of them to proceed with that wedding ,as a guest I won’t even attend
We are not Animals that just move one with life when one of ur own has just died
We are Human beings Please!!!!! They cld have had their wedding at anytime afterall
They still have the gift of life.
It was a very somber wedding I hear, a three day event was cut off to 2hrs, they prayed for the dead, they celebrated new beginnings albeit with sadness and pain… I am sure the Ayenes were there in spirit and would have wanted this wedding to go on especially as it was being done in their honour. Nobody can speak for the Majindadi’s as they know their sister and her family best and they are the only ones who can make the judgement call as to what their sister and family would have wanted. I wish the newly weds happiness, joy, the peace of new beginnings and cherished memories. I think we all ought to leave this family alone and allow them support each other, and grieve in their own way. RIP to all the victims and Gods comfort to their families.
Selfish, selfless and heartless cows….
I think that it took great courage to go through with the wedding and i commend him for it. He’s probably tortured and maybe blames himself for his sister’s death. After all, but for his wedding, his sister would probably not have taken that flight.
