Some people deserve to die. Some
people are so stupid and do things that entitle them to instant erasure from this world. Their death may even be a blessing to mankind in that it stops the dilution of the gene pool.

Thus, there are times when particular
conducts allow you to feel little
sympathy for people. These are things
you can blame poverty for — poverty of common sense, that is! And, if anyone was that stupid…

Don’t play with electricity

I should be so dead. I have had two
instances when I should have died. And, it would have been well deserved. Only last month, I decided to remove a slice of bread from the toaster, using a knife.
The knife touched the elements and
short-circuited the whole house. The
electricity could have burnt my socks
off! A similar thing happened to a
patient of mine who played with
electricity. He is also lucky to be alive,
but, only just. His brain and spinal cord was so fried he needs help to feed.

Don’t play with fire

A man decides to pour petrol into the
generator. But, because he couldn’t see well, he asked his son to bring light. ‘No problem, daddy.’ The son went to get the candle so dad could see where to pour the petrol. Well, the daddy, the mummy, the son and baby girl all ended up in the hospital with severe burns. Unfortunately, all ended up dead as well within a few days.
Going to sleep with the candle light still on, in a room without ventilation and being careless around petrol are tried and tested ways to die.
Chasing after petrol in broken down
petrol tankers and stealing oil from
pipes are also not due to ignorance or
poverty. These are stupid ways to die
and should not happen anymore in our
community.

Don’t play with water

A man decided to jump out of the boat
into the river for fun. This was not a
dare and he was not drunk. He just
thought ‘what the heck,’ I can do this.
Turns out the river was quite deep, with a strong fast flowing undercurrent. I think they are still looking for his body.
Similarly, please endeavour to cover
boreholes and deep holes (even
manholes on the streets!) as they are
death traps. Only an irresponsible
government, person or company will
leave deep holes unprotected and
without adequate warning signs for the unwary. If, with adequate protection and warning signs, someone still ventures where angels fail to thread, well…

Don’t mix driving with other stuff

Okay, the second episode happened
many, many years ago, but I have never forgotten it. It was a great night at a party in Abeokuta. Then, a friend called and requested to be picked up.
Yes, I offered to go and get him even
though I had been drinking alcohol.
Alcohol and driving do not mix and we
are both lucky to be alive today. Let me just say it again: Do not drink and drive, and if you were that stupid…
Similarly, do not use your mobile phone while driving. This is really important, as many have gone to the great beyond ignoring this simple message.
Do not read text messages or attempt
to send texts while driving. It is suicidal.
It is a dumb thing to do, no matter how smart you might think you are and no matter how many times you have gotten away with it. You only need one chance to die.

Don’t waste time with cancer

Breast cancer is common in Nigeria. It
can affect anybody with breasts,
including men. Ignoring a lump in your
breast is therefore dumb. And going to
the herbalist, traditional healer or your
local chemist is even more stupid. They cannot help you.
Cancer cannot be treated or cured by
people who sell cures for ‘staphylococcus’ in buses and on the
streets. You might as well buy rat
poison. It works just as well.
This goes for all cancers. Cancer kills
and kills faster if ignored. Your best bet is a good hospital with the required specialists and the facility to manage cancer. You need urgent diagnosis and the right advice. Do not stop until you meet someone sensible and who you can trust with your life.
Finally, on HIV/AIDS
Dr. Peter Ebeigbe recently published
results of his study into the ‘knowledge and use of contraceptives by rural in-school adolescents in Delta State.’
In the article, Ebeigbe noted that about 65 per cent had had sex at age 15. But, perhaps more worrying is that only 31 per cent (31 in 100) used a condom consistently, 39 per cent practised coitus interruptus (in which the man withdraws prior to ejaculation), while 25 per cent relied on ‘washing the private parts’ to prevent pregnancies and diseases! Washing!
In this day and age of HIV, hepatitis B,
C, gonorrhoea, etc., etc., if you were still that stupid…
