Description
Summary:Funeral is universal and continuous. Using oral interviews, genuine facts were unravelled about funeral customs of peace-loving Ondo people from old folks who had been involved in several funerals for many years. It was discovered that Ondos have special occasional food and attires. Certain garments and items like Akoun reveal celebrants; in-laws are assigned duties and materials to bring to funeral. Deceased children and relatives submit worthy items such as goats. Baba Musoku, monitors and coordinates the funeral activities. Corpse washing and grave digging are uniquely performed. Wives kneeing before a celebrant traditionally has implications, but not that of punishment. A server was developed for file manipulations and the exposed functionalities work accurately. A picture box was customized for image display; the functionalities are adequate and flexible to handle some image operations. Through a client application, AtereSoft, the functionalities in the customized component and server are exposed and found to work to specifications. Besides, selected items with straight-to-the-point-comments are shown in AtereSoft, cleverly putting traditions in the computer. Children born in foreign land to Ondo folks will benefit tremendously from this work and parent(s) will be reminded of home. Software developers will find the server and component developed with Microsoft Visual Studio, 2013 invaluable in their works. Areas of further attention are addressed.
