Lazy man, regurgitating American content for the Nigerian context. Jockey kor, junkyard ni.

How about arguing with an abokki okada rider on the road? How about dialling 911 (in Nigeria) when you have a medical emergency (na automatic die be that), etc.

assumption I guess

the Nigerian version would be...

- being the victim of a money ritualist
- being the victim of kidnappers
- falling prey of body part salesmen
- getting blown up while trying to steal fuel
- getting crushed by a falling tanker
- being murdered by a policeman because of 50 Nairas bribe
- being caught doing crime and being dealt jungle justice
- dating the wrong man/woman OR fighting over a man/woman

Ours home version are more porus than what the OP posted.The Oyinbo say 1000 ways to died and "OURS"is 1,000,000 ways to died.. unprovoked deaths are common on our land

No SARS killings


Doesn't apply to Nigeria then
