For No13 I am not surprised.

The man who sang Don't Worry Be Happy (Bobby McFerring) Committed Suicide. This is someone whose song has consoled millions of people all over the world.

NO 2 - This is really hillarious. Can't just stop laughing. Funny enough most of the deaths will occur on the beach and resorts. When person dey enjoy life coconut go just fall kill am.

N0 6 - chai! After ripping the poor things head just for 3minutes sex and you giving birth, the poor thing will roam his entire life without a head.


No 9 - its a lie. It depends on the business you are into. Drug barons, armed robbers, and street uchins have a 5/10 chance of being shot.

NO 11 - most of those people would have probably died in the exam hall or job interview room.

most of these statistics are gotten from reported incidents and accidents, but in a country like Nigeria and a continent like Africa, we know that 98 percent of deaths arise from bad government and the remaining 2 percent from illiteracy and poverty. I am not surprise, Obasanjo and IBB have escaped death more than any other ruler in Nigeria. Emmanuel Uduaghan is the worst Governor in Nigeria, same uduaghan owns the largest head amongst any present or past governors yet the tiniest plan for his state.

Did you read that post at all? You should displayed how clueless you are because you didn't even make an iota of sense.

Knew Abraham to have been a wise man. Yours is just totally opposite.
