See that idiot taking pictures.

Somebody burnt and u are taking his/her picture.
For what purpose?
To keep it on your phone and show people that u were there when it happened or what?

How will he feel seeing pictures of a fellow human being who got burnt beyond recognition on his phone.
That is stupidity

If you are lucky to step out of your house and return safely just thank God because many didn't make it and you are not holier than them.


RIP to the dead

why is it that people don't learn?

just a few days here I watched a clip where a petrol laden tanker which had fallen by a roadside went up in flames as scores of ppl were scooping fuel..

this thing almost always ends like this. why do ppl still rush out to a fallen tanker to scoop fuel

Enjoy your life, eat nkwobi, pepper soup, fresh fish, smoke weed, Bleep toto, Bleep dick, for everyone is going to die uninformed.
There is nothing like the future.
If you form born again you die, if you rough, u die, if you fine u die, if you no fine, you still die.
Enjoy every moment of your life.
Everything is meaningless like chasing after the wind.
