JayJohnson:


See what frustration has done to your life? Stop beefing people you will not hear

You could barely type a sentence, I am not surprised that my text went over your head.

ThierryJay:


You make me laugh. No shortcomings of any research can disprove the fact that globally, cold weather is a higher leading cause of death than hot weather. Your arguments are here and there and they lack a tangible focal point.

You saying more people die of heat in India and Nigeria than cold. Lol, before nko, are those not tropical countries? Is it heat that will kill people more in Iceland for example when its a temperate country? This line of thought isn't fit for an intellectual discourse as it does not negate the fact that Cold weather kills more people directly than hot weather GLOBALLY.

And I mentioned the Sahara desert as a perfect contrast to the Antarctica. Yet more people live in the Sahara region (Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Libya, Algeria, Egypt, Sudan, Chad, Western Sahara, Northern Nigeria) than the Antarctica and Arctic combined (even though both combined are larger in size than the Sahara). That you do not know this fact portrays you as a pseudo-intellectual.

I have no problem with you having problem with the Lady's snow-shovelling time. What I have an issue with is you saying that Cold weather is less dangerous than hot weather globally and trying to justify the false assertion wrongly, instead of just admitting the obvious gaffe and moving on.

You saying more people die of heat in India and Nigeria than cold. Lol, before nko, are those not tropical countries? Is it heat that will kill people more in Iceland for example when its a temperate country? . I see that scarcism went over your head.


And I mentioned the Sahara desert as a perfect contrast to the Antarctica. Yet more people live in the Sahara region (Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Libya, Algeria, Egypt, Sudan, Chad, Western Sahara, Northern Nigeria) than the Antarctica and Arctic combined (even though both combined are larger in size than the Sahara). .

I can see how you mixing issues. For one Sahara desert has one of the lowest population densities on the planet. Secondly there is a reason why most of the population around this areas are clustered around largest lake and rivers. Which in all comparison waters down whatever one to one comparison you want to make about the harshness the coldest and largest desert in the world. So I am waiting for you to come up with the hottest place with the same pound for pound comparison.


I am struggling to find where I said so. I was pointing out the fact that even the so called warm weather isn't rosy.

I would think by now you should have understood that you were quick to reach conclusion on my statement without asking for further clarification.


Edit.

I don't know what you do for a living. But I will put this out for those who care. Results from global studies more especially based on self reported data should be interpreted with utmost caution.

Using extreme weather for example. Extreme hot weather are mostly found in poor or third world countries ( by third world I meant as per economy not their involvement in world wars. Before you accuse me of something I did not say again ). These countries are notorious for having poor records and more so under reporting.

It could be that globally the true magnitude of the difference in the mortality associated to cold weather and hot weather is what is reported or the magnitude cold be less if those poor resource countries have the capability and will to report and update their data.

Let me bring this home for you.
I recall a certain flood incident in Nigeria (I won't mention the community). NEMA was quick on ground collected data and it took them several months to get around to analysing and reporting their findings.

By the time they did some of the identified fammers that needed help were already dead several months before the arrival of aids. Most of aids were already bad after sitting several months in warehouses while waiting for data from the field before disbursement.

This is more than 2 years and I am yet to find that specific data on one of European global extreme weather database.

If the lady in Canada likes she can complain till tomorrow that is her God given rights.

PoliteActivist:


There is that type of depression but the more prevalent one is one that is TRIGGERED by circumstances - hopelessness, lack of sun light, lack of human connection (even bad one). There are many people who go into depression in winter and recover in summer

Not just depression but like most illness they all have triggers. So I don't get it what is your point?

authority2006:


Extreme weather is an extreme weather, that's it. Anyone who wasn't used to it from the childhood must find it difficult to cope, does that mean such person doesn't have right to complain or talk about it.
BTW: heatwaves is also an extreme weather condition and it is also not applicable to Nigeria.

I agree that extreme weather is extreme weather. She has the right to complain no doubt and I also have the right to point out how there are other worse things in life. Or don't I have such right?

PoliteActivist:


What causes suicide is hopelessness and lack of human connection, which are both abundant in developed countries. Struggling or fighting with your neighbor do not cause suicide.
See below about sunshine:

5 Ways the Sun Impacts Your Mental and Physical Health


1. Increased Vitamin D

Vitamin D has some important functions in the body. It promotes reduced inflammation and modulates cell growth. It’s also very hard to get enough from food sources alone.

2. Improved Mood

It turns out “sunny disposition” is more than just an expression: Researchers at BYU found more mental health distress in people during seasons with little sun exposure. On the contrary, days with plenty of sunshine were associated with better mental health — in fact, the availability of sunshine has more impact on mood than rainfall, temperature, or any other environmental factor.


3. Higher Quality Sleep

That serotonin you soak up from the sun’s rays does more than boost your mood – it might also help you get more restful sleep at night.

4. Stronger Bones

Remember how we mentioned Vitamin D does some pretty important stuff for your body?

5. Lower Blood Pressure

When sunlight hits your skin, your body releases something called nitric oxide into your blood.

Good points. I can't remember saying struggling or fighting with your neighbours leads to suicide ?

I said everyday life struggle which is just an expression.

Given your points, I have happened to come across people that no matter the medication couldn't get their serotonin level up. As we speak the family is in court asking for legal assistance to end his life.

Depression is a serious and complicated illness.

ThierryJay:


For someone who has been living abroad for a while and who likes to write and research a lot, your display of ignorance here is mindboggling. That you are trying to downplay the severity of an extremely cold climate on human welfare is startling. Its not a coincidence that the Arctic and Antarctica are less inhabited than the Sahara region.

How the heavens could you ignorantly say that heat kills more people than cold so confidently and then try to justify it with some lame humidity vs temperature theory when your gaffe was exposed? Its not even close at all. If as a research inclined person, you propagate unfounded lies like this all in a bid to criticize someone's opinion of their living conditions, then your sense of objectivity is profoundly suspect.

Extremely cold weather is a big deal, even to the whites. That they have found a way to cope with it does not make it less of an issue.

Another one quick to type. Did you read my comments about nresearch on cold killing more than heat. Did you read the short comings of the objections in the paper.

Can you point where I said heat kill more? What I said was compare the number of deaths from heatwaves. Couldn't that be that there it is not cold that people also have it bad in hot weather?

If I would stick to your line of argument do you know that more people die of heat in Nigeria than cold? Over the years more people have died of extreme heat than cold in warm climate. Do you see my point?

But on a serious note my point to you guys is that people in tropical climate have issued to contend with and shoving snow is the least of things to complain about.

In addition can you point out where I said that extreme weather is not an issue? Meanwhile can you point out any place with relative extreme hot weather whose opposite is that of Arctic and Antarctica that people live in? Extreme weather both cold and hot are dangerous.

PoliteActivist:


That's the point - it is not material things that makes for a person's happiness otherwise developed countries won't have higher suicide rates. There are many social supports she'd have had in Nigeria that are not available to her in Canada.
The weather is not a problem if you are HAPPY. Complaining about weather is just a sign of general unhapiness

Some food for thoughts:

I think that in Nigeria we don't feel things because of the everyday struggles, hence our immediate concern is survival. That does not make us happier per se nor does that mean we don't have a lot of people with chemicals inbalance.

The difference is that in the "West" they have conquered the basic needs and as such can "afford to feel". Maybe when we achieve that level of economic freedom and freedom from religious stigma attached to speaking openly about suicide we may experience a spike.

I remember reading somewhere about a study that was conducted long time ago. In the study it was observed that being a protestant or non Christian (it has been a while can remember the exact details) increases your odds of committing suicides than being a Catholic.

Much later a new study found that during the period when the old study was conducted, committing suicide means the church won't bury you and you are as good as going straight to hell.
So most Catholic families would rather report a different cause of dead than suicide.

Just trying to point out how time and place can mask the true magnitude of events.

saggis:




Yes. It contributed a lot. They were forced to think of ways to conquer the cold weather and survive. Our African ancestors never had such problems. The weather and the entire African environment was condusive. So our ancestors were chilling under the mango tree all day, butt naked, drinking palm wine. There was little stress. Food and fresh meat were readily available.

I think you might be pushing it far. Africa is not that all rosy ooh. It is home to some dangerous animals and parasites. I would think that the conflicts between numerous tribes contributed more to its stunted growth than the benevolence of its weather.

PoliteActivist:


But how can she see it as a leg up if she is unhappy to the point of suicide, which by the way is higher in Canada. An unhappy/depressed person will complain about anything

That is why we need to give her a reality check.

I must admit that if she is suffering from depression being in Canada or Nigeria does not change her mental state ( I understand that the sun helps but it is not a cure). All she needs is a doctor and I am certain she will get better care over there than in Nigeria.

Ten06:
Who knows if it is these kind of cold weather that made them wiser than hmmm?

Trying to think in hot weather hard ooh. You may have a point.

PoliteActivist:


I think she's using shoveling snow just as example. U can wake up one day and realuse u just truly hate the place, yet can't think of going back home. Also u have to compare equals - if she were in Nigeria her children won't be going through all that u mentioned

For the fact that life has given her a leg up and she chose to hold on to little inconvenience is what pissed me off ( without me considering there could be other underlying reasons for her complaints).

Bros I sieve through reports of children health across the globe everyday and of women's health. I get piss when I see people with better opportunities in life nag about things that deos not matter.

Here most of my colleagues have learnt not to complain about the train or metro delaying for 5 minutes (for them it ruin their joy for the rest of the day) . Funny thing is that most of them that have lived elsewhere Africa and South America never complain about the little live inconveniences but they have come to appreciate life more.

Yes, I should have chose my choice of words nicely but being a Nigerian "you know as e dey do us for body"

PoliteActivist:


Cold weather comes with other adverse effects on health. It's not by coincidence that covid kills more in colder climates. Flu too. Suicide too. Depression too. Boredom too. Alcoholism, drugs, etc. No vitamin D. So everywhere comes with it's own problems. No place is paradise

You are absolutely right.

But she chalked up her frustration on cleaning snow off her car that took her less time than it take some African kids that has to go fetch water or fire woods before going to class everyday. We don't see them nagging about it.

gaventa:
No vex guy Abeg no vex.

Bros i no dey vex. I just finished report on number of children that die each year from indirect causes such as malnutrition and incomplete immunizations program. Only for me to open her thread to read about her complaints of cleaning snows that took less time than it takes some African children to go get firewood before going to school.

Ungratefulness pisses me off.

kelvindj98:

You Dey mind the illiterate. Nigerians are the only ones I know that just say shit without having actual knowledge. If you don't know about clearing snow why make such an ignorant comment disgracing yourself and family.

Snow master did it take that lady upto 10 mins to clean the snow off her car given that she was doing it while filming?

We are discussing about how much it took her to get the snow off her car. I can see that comprehension is a big issue for you.

Keep disgracing your lineage it seems you don't know what illiterate means.

PoliteActivist:

See below

Thanks for the link. It was a good read.

However the research is does not compare tempatures specifically in humid weather. Some places could be cold and the humidity still high.

Humidity and temperature are independent but you are more likely to experience high temperature in humid weather.

Moreover, in the study it was mentioned that the discrepancies in the differences in the mortality could be that "Public-health policies focus almost exclusively on minimizing the health consequences of heat waves,".

Taking the above into considerations put the results of the research into perspective.

Ndipe:
More people die from cold related weather than humid weather. You can read it here,

Golan007:


Stop nagging.

I can see that common sense eludes you.

You have been noticed so run along

Ddokie:


I think you are the one who doesn't have your full senses working.

Do you think its easy for her and she comes online to talk.

The lady was sounding frustrated. Every time she has to go through those difficult moments of cold and loneliness which has become the regular lifestyle of many abroad, she would wish she wasn't there.

Leave people to express themselves.

You people think life is easy. You want easy life, probably she is among those that thought in abroad everything will be thrust free at them.

How is cleaning snow off your car so hard she has to complain about it? The Canadians have been doing it for ages.

If you think cold is bad look up how many people have died of heat waves.

Or how many die of hunger or from malaria (tropical disease) every year and compare it to cleaning off snow from your car.

Instead of being grateful to God for the opportunity she is here nagging.

laiperi:
Obviously you have never experienced real cold weather and blizzards. All your tok na jazz. You think those that freeze to death in their own country are only the homeless?

Experience master, did you know that more people die from heat waves each year than from cold?

Look it up bro.

Edit. I am wrong on this. I based my statement on old study I read somewhere. @PoliteActivist quoted me by providing a contradicting study. I focused on the paper rather than addressing my earlier statement that elicited his response. However, I went back and forth with @ThierryJay where he pointed out this and which I denied saying. @ThierryJay I accept my mistake on this you are right I said it.

But whomever cares use sci-hub and find this paper https://doi.org/10.1175/BAMS-86-7-937.

Though old but it is a good read.

Xxx123xxx:
. Why do you sound so bitter, if she wan chase clout make she chase am now abi na your clout. You go sabi carry another person matter for head hold your own for hand sha.

I sabi carry another people matter for head if them come begin form wetin no get head.

Youself no be busy body make you chok mouth for this matter?

Dedetwo:


The bolded is a rant out of stack ignorance. By the way, which snow can you shove in less than 2 minutes? I guess a Nigerian snow.

Maybe not 2 mins exactly, how much time did it take her to clear her windshield that it became such a burden that she has to complain?

I have been living abroad even before you were conceived. I know how much time it takes to get snow of my windshield and drive off. I also know that you have to lay snow mat on your shield so you don't have to scope it just pull it and you are ready to go.

I also know that before you park you have to anticipate the weather by looking it up and then prepare for it.

I could also infer from your post how limited your knowledge of things and how the world around you is.

Ode I don notice you so run along.

7victor:


Where are you staying?

West.

tyup:


Saying she should come back to Nigeria in a simple term would have saved you this stress. what do you think?

I don't mind typing for her to see the problems with her nagging.

Edit.

Just say that you don't like reading and would rather watch video. It takes less time to read my text than to watch her video.

She should shut up and stop being ridiculous.

so shoving snow that takes less than 2 minutes is so life crushing that she sees it as a sacrifice?

Some people really knows how to nag.

If her full senses were working she would have known that people have been living there and other colder places for thousands of years. Even with the cold there are people who would still leave a safe warm climate and migrate to colder regions.

If not that she is chasing clout, she would have known that one of the "worst" places to live in is the tropical weather. Infested with bugs, mosquitoes, venomous reptiles and other disease carrying rodents ( almost all year round) before crying over cold weather that last not more than 6 months all together in a year.

She should stop nagging and come home, after all even with insecurity that she is complaining about, 200 millions Nigerians are still living in Naija.

Instead of being grateful to God for the opportunity she is here nagging.

Edit.

For those of your insulting me. Look up the number of people that died from heatwaves in the last years and compare to dying from cold.

Or the number of people dying from hunger or malaria (tropical disease) every year.

My point is life is not easy anywhere and shoving off snow off your car is a little inconvenience compare to what most people go through in lives everyday around the world.

When are we going to start appreciating God's favor in our lives?

Ogun State always in the news for ritual crimes.

7victor:


My brother let me tell you the truth, the whole truth and nothing else but the truth:

You don't need to even talk about hausa/Fulani Muslim ladies.

There are so many hausa/Fulani Christians ladies in the core north that you can marry as a southern man.

In fact they are so many that you should not even consider marrying a Muslim.

Where I stay,on a Sunday morning in the school chapel, 99 percent of the hundreds of students who come for fellowship are Fulani Christians.

Then you go to universities, polytechnics and colleges of education chapels and see thousands of young fresh Fulani males and females Christians.

So many of the ladies are single and would readily agree to marry you.

So it is up to anyone who wants a Fulani lady.

Just go up North and marry a sister in Christ and you will not regret it.

I repeat it: You don't need a hausa/Fulani Muslim girl since there are millions of hausa/Fulani Christian girls to pick from.

Which church I need to visit ooh.

A good move by FG.

I think FG should start a massive campaign on how people should conduct themselves this festive period otherwise by January the number of infected will soar.
