Wow. It still remains fascinating to see someone look at something korokoro with their own eyes and choose their preconceived ideas instead of the truth they are seeing. How about you google one episode of 1000 ways to die to see if you'll find a real life event that matches it?

Other karma incidents everywhere in the world nko!

LordReed:
1000 Ways to Die takes a tongue-in-cheek dark humor with approach to death through its presentation of stories derived from both myths and science, and the show makes liberal use of artistic license to significantly embellish or change the circumstances of real-life incidents that resulted in death for greater entertainment value. Not only are the names changed, but also substantial amounts of the locations, dates and context. Two notable exceptions are the accurate descriptions of the deaths of Harry Houdini and Sigurd Eysteinsson, although the latter's death occurred in Scotland, instead of Norway.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1000_Ways_to_Die

All that is just to maintain the privacy of the deceased. The fact is, the real karma incidents happened for real.

How about other karma incidents all over the world,just Google real karma incidents and see...

LordReed:
They have the artistic license to make changes to the stories for entertainment purposes, it is not breaking any laws.

They don't make any changes to the stories, they only dramatise how it happened.

There is God my brother...

LordReed:
Many of the stories in 1000 Ways to Die are altered to be more dramatic than what happened in real life. Don't be so taken in by what you see on TV.

If it was known that this person killed a person in the woods how come he wasn't charged for the death? How come it got reported with such detail? You need to critically examine things and not be so gullible.

So you think the US government will allow the program on National TV if the stories are not based on true life incidents as the producers claim.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S AN ADULT RUNNING THIS ACCOUNT. YOU BETTER BE LESS THAN 14 OTHERWISE YOU HAVE TO DO SOME REAL GROWING UP.

You have chosen a style on Nairaland that all your write ups would be CAPLOCKED and you are happy with it. No one disturbs you about it.


Now I chose my own life online, not hurting anyone including you, instead of focusing on the thread, you have to attack my person online.


Isn't God wonderful!!

People don't accurately get served back, the world is not perfect and not fair. Good people suffer, bad people enjoy.

Your karma is just your fantasy and confirmation bias.

A man who shot and killed another man some years back in the woods...he shot many round into his victim and killed him not knowing one of the bullets is still alive lodged in one the trees. Years later he was on picknic and had to burn a tree, out of the thousands of three around he unluckily chose the one his own bullet has been lodged in. Well ! The bullet fired and killed him on the spot.


Another trigger happy Police man (This happened somewhere in Kogi state or Ekiti, can't really remember)who killed a school boy when he tried to shoot a motorist because of bribe. Years later his own son was shot and killed in that same location, same spot he killed the boy by another trigger happy Police man trying to kill another motorist because of bribe.


That's too perfect to me to assume it happened only by chance...


Karma may not happen everyday but it does happen, and when it happens it is perfectly arranged to defy any notion of no God or spirituality...

What's childish about the question? Don't you know some people actually don't belief in God or any form of spirituality

Watching a program like '1000 ways to die' makes one wonder how accurately people get served back the doses of their own medicines.


What/who exactly oversees these pin point pay backs if there is nothing like God or spirituality??

E pain am. How's someone who has mortgaged a whole region not a traitor? How's a corrupt politician of international dimensions not a traitor? Omo you dey ok so?

Is that why you and your kinsmen would not have fulfilment in your lives until you live in our 'mortgaged' region. Mumu! You probably typing from somewhere in South West.

Is Thiefnuibu from Kwara?
Is he not a traitor

Weyrey! How is Asiwaju a traitor

Please be very very careful when dealing with people from Kwara. They are compulsive traitors, they just can't help it.




I'm a Yoruba man! Nobody should qoute me o!!

So what do you think those xenophobic South Africans are?

Princedapace:
If it is that easy, every country would be dining same bro. It doesn't work that way bro. And majority of ur politicians have investments they stashed away in SA.

Anything can happen in a breakdown situation...those stolen wealths aren't captured by any records in the first place

Princedapace:
And I am telling u that SA is willing to let go of that benefit u talk about because it has mere little percentage to them. And thier companies here employ our citizens.

We can simply nationalise their companies here and our citizens continue to enjoy their works. They have nothing they can hold us to ransome with economically. They can only attack our citizens in their country like barbarians.

Princedapace:
Bro, first, I wasn't insulting u okay. If the question sounded impolite my apology.

Now, back to the topic. Like I said earlier, no one will see where he earns large sum and treat it anyhow. There are some countries SA won't try that shit they did to Nigerians with. Why? They know their trade deal.

SA will lose nothing much if they have a face off with Nigeria except some strategic countries are involved. I don't want to say much about international companies coming to nigeria for business more than SA.
Check out the images I uploaded so far. SA has countries where they make much of their income and they can't try this shit with them. There was a document I read, I just couldn't find it. Nigeria was among the very least countries SA considers as a strategic business partner due to earning derived from Nigerian market compared to other markets where they make money. From the SA govt actions, u will notice that they are willing to let go of the little percentage they get from Nigeria. Their companies have over 90% Nigerian staff and have done several machinery investments. There are agreements entered before they could do those investments.

I also want u to check the last image about foreign direct investment. Investors are heading to SA and it will continue to be so until Nigeria's crises and poor purchasing power is worked on. I asked u a simple question, how many Nigerians earn over 3 million per year? How many Nigerians can afford new items? This is the reason black market is popular here. It is same reason second hand used items are popular. The purchasing power is weak. Canada has small population but there is a reason the economy keep growing and for those of us into online business, there is a reason ad to those countries are higher. It is purchasing power. We have poor purchasing power in Nigeria coupled with endless crises.

I have explained what the issue is to you before but let me just put it in simple forms, that may help perhaps.


How would you answer these questions in an exam Hall?

1* Evaluate the economies of South Africa and Nigeria


2* Who needs who most between South Africa and Nigeria economically?



Now, while what's on ground is about the later, you keep expending your energy on the first...

Hmmm!!

ibbo:
its not just about having the largest population, but how many percentage of this population is educated for higher productivity. if you have a large population but non productive, then its a huge liability and a drain on our resources. If the population of nigeria was just 20 million, then even if it is 2 million that respresents 10percent of this population is productive, then we will have a vibrant economy couple with our huge natural resources. But you can agree with me that out of over 200 million people in this country, less than 10 percent are truly productive, as a result of bad governace over the years. Then how can that small percentage couple with our resources that have been endless looted by wicked leaders support our population hence our economy. So a higher population with a portion being productive translates into lower standards of living. I'm afraid south africa has the upper hand and bragging rights here. we should just hide in shame, instead of trying to justify or rationalize or argue.

That's why most Nigerians fail in exams...


Even if we compare Nigeria's economy and SA economy, Nigeria is still the largest economy in Africa. But that is not what matters in this situation now.


It is not about what our economy runs on, or which country is more beautiful or has more per capital income, it is about who needs who most between South Africa and Nigeria economically.

It is as simple as...

They have investments here which we can sanction and it will affect their economy; the last time Nigeria slammed a billion dollars fine on MTN the South African stock market was affected.

Tell me what South Africa can do to Nigeria that will affect us economically apart from attacking Nigerians in their country.

Is God not wonderful

Princedapace:
Dude, are u okay at all? It is like saying international companies make more money from Nigeria than Netherlands because nigeria has more population than Netherlands. I don't think u understand how these things work.

If that is the case, international companies would have been rushing nigeria. Guy, companies are leaving Nigeria sef.

How can u even make this type of comment? Bro, SA is more business friendly by far than Nigeria. Over half the population of nigeria live in abject poverty. Then another set of almost half live in belove average line.

The middle class is an important factor in economy. The middle class in Nigeria can't afford what they are meant to afford. This is why companies like techno strive in nigeria. Purchasing power is low in nigeria. Purchasing power is high in SA. Pls, calm down and study these things. Population does not translate into economic strength. Do u know how many nigerians earn less than 100 dollars per month? How many nigerians can afford brand new products that are above 500 dollars? That is the question u should be asking and not population.
Bros, SA is economically stronger than Nigeria. In fact, international brands are more present in SA than in Nigeria, pls. SA even refines her oil and that of other countries. We send some of country men to technical trainings in SA a lot. The most recent were naval pilots. Bro, SA is far ahead of nigeria.

How can I choose to do business in a country with poor electricity compared to country with stable electricity.

It seems Oni apanle lara (The little respect I gave you has intoxicated you to be asking if I'm ok)


Nope! I'm perfectly ok! You should check your own brain...


So many countries of the world are more business friendly than China but China maintains it second largest economy in the world. Number one reason for that is their population...

Having said that, the argument was premised on who needs who more between Nigeria and South Africa. Not who is more business friendly.

And I have explained like every right thinking persons here that South Africa needs Nigeria more than we need them. For simple reasons of them having more of their billion dollars businesses here in Nigeria unlike Nigeria that has almost no major business in SA.


It's a simple logic, you only complicating things for yourself...

Nobody is asking you about how beautiful or how the whites have turned South Africa to a heaven in Africa.

Princedapace:
No bro, as it stands, international companies do business with SA than Nigeria. U can Google it bro. It is easier to do business in SA than in Nigeria. They have stable electricity, water, good roads, health care, more developed educational system. Most companies that want to establish African Head branch go to SA to establish it.

Largest economy does not mean per capital income. Bro, pls make we no argue, SA is miles ahead of Nigeria. Ask those who don't want to return. They will tell u. SA can't try this shit with USA for instance. Why? They make a lot of money exporting finished goods to USA under agreement with the USA govt. They don't make that much exporting to us.

U can begin with, how many nigerians do menial jobs in SA, how many Soutu Africans do same jobs here? Pls for now, we are not at the same level with SA. Maybe tomorrow.

The whites did a lot of works in that country before handing over. And corruption and nepotism have destroyed our country.

International companies make more money in Nigeria than in South Africa is the point bro for obvious reason of our population. So currently what we lack in terms of good roads, stable power and rest can be made for in our population. Having their African head branches in SA doesn't mean Nigeria is not much more important to them than SA. Unless it's not money they are looking for.

Nigerians living in SA is the only weapon they have against us basically when a diplomatic hell breaks loose. While we have their many companies in our country we can impose sanctions on which will greatly affect them, we have almost no Nigerian company in SA. So who do you think needs who more here!

My brother this is simple logic, if you make more money from me than I make from you then economically I have more power over you.

Princedapace:
U guys take Nigeria too serious.. Lol

A country like Nigeria that exports mainly raw materials and import 90% of her finished products is weak economically.

U guys don't understand this. SA will be hit too by any economic war but bro, na naija e go hit pass o.

And whatever makes a Nation strong counts, either natural or not

Princedapace:
My brother calm down, it will affect Nigeria more, okay. Take sentiment A-side. Pls, it will affect Nigeria more if the two countries fight economically.

One is a manufacturing based economy, the other is an oil bases economy. I never said it won't affect SA, but it will hit nigeria more bro. Calm down.

Saw produces many commodities and export them. We are not talking about raw materials. We are talking about an economy that is highly diversified. SA has a diversified economy unlike Nigeria.

Sorry for the hash reply initially!

I don't think so my brother...


Nigeria is still the largest economy in Africa

Nigeria has the largest oil reserve in Africa

Nigeria has the largest population in Africa


With those three factors Nigeria has more leverage over South Africa...

Largest economy means more international businesses will have more presence in Nigeria than South africa. Which gives Nigeria more ability to influence those businesses and their home governments over an issue between Nigeria and South Africa.

Largest oil reserve in Africa means Nigeria still has a very important bargaining power than South Africa in the international Arena. As a member of Opec, Nigeria would be taken more seriously internationally as whatever action an Opec member takes affects the price of Oil all over the world. This makes Nigeria more important than South Africa in Africa.

Largest Population means more market for any product. Whatever the western nations produce has more market in Nigeria's 200 million population then a smaller 40 million South African population. China for instance will listen to Nigeria first in Africa before any nation. Compare the amount Nigerians spend in importing goods all over the world with how much South Africa spend doing same. Businesses simply take consumers with more purchasing power more seriously.


There are other areas but with these three major aspects, Nigeria still comfortably calls the shot in Africa...

The pastor right now...

Princedapace:
Oga, if u know how mtn works, u won't be saying this. No country will deliberately joke with a big fish especially when that country knows it could be affected economically. SA knew they had nothing much to lose here.

So Nigeria is not a big fish?

So it won't affect SA economically if Nigeria throws economic sanctions on them?

So SA has nothing to lose in Nigeria?

Some of you should start thinking before you talk

No! That wouldn't have made news, everyone wants to trend...

Just try and not live alone, make sure you are about two or tree in the apartment. And don't have your own room to yourself, stay with other guys...that may help greatly in reducing masturbation

You obviously don't know what "down" means for a person.

Oh let me learn from you! Because he was videod talking, that means he's not down. Wow!!
