Selfie has no superstition attached to it. Just be careful that's all. It's just like saying, don't drink and drive.

ReplyDeleteMay their souls rest in peace. But I dont see anything wrong with taking a selfie (not those dangerous and baseless stunts though).
ReplyDeleteI still feel so sorry for that Malaysian plane that was gunned down.

I like selfies alot but i make sure i take them in the house or in a parked car. I love my life and risking it is the last thing i will do.RIP to the dead.

LMAOOOO!!! Oh my dayzzzz! Now that's a classic reply! Lord have mercy! LMAO!

DeleteThere's a limit to everything, but will they listen. Instead of d list 2 end here, it'll be increasing somehow 'power of drug & alcohol' selfies is gud when taken at right places tho.
ReplyDeleteLesson learned, I'll be careful when taking selfies but I CAN'T stop!
DeletePS: my cousin twisted her ankle while taking a selfie too.
Its a pity.... You mustn't take a risk before you take a selfie.... Selfie can be taken anywhere but let's watch out before it claims our lives...... RIP to the dead
ReplyDeleteTaking selfies sensibly never hurt or killed anyone.
ReplyDeleteMeeen wethin person go do , na to go back begin use Nokia 3310 ,because with this mad phones this days you can't just help it ,even if you preach about it you definitely. Find yourself doing selfie some how .my own worst .miss Prada please do you have the girl. That wants to start chips business contact.thanks
ReplyDeleteHummmm sad! I take selfie but not dis dangerous type. ... na only white dey take dis kind risk. ...RIP ti d dead.
ReplyDeleteSelfies for the soul...Odiegwu!..stella all the aforementioned na only oyibo na,they too do...we are always careful with ours...
ReplyDeleteTaking a selfie in itself isn't a bad thing but endangering one's life and that of other people in the process of taking one is totally a no-no.
ReplyDeleteHowever, those people who were on board the Malaysian airline that dissappeared shouldn't have made this list, their own case is totally different, they didn't wish for any of the event that unfolded and their selfie wasn't the cause either.
4 1c, I agree with u!!! **looks away**
Delete4 1c, I agree with u!!! **looks away**
DeleteSeconded @Swerve
DeleteBut the girl on a bridge, na bird snap her???
Which hand she use abeg? #confusedMuch#
U are very correct swerve. And even those who crashed after taking selfies where not reported to have crashed as a result of selfies. I mean those flying the jets. They prolly crashed after the fact for other reasons
DeleteThe effect of modernization.
ReplyDeleteOh my, life taking selfies...
ReplyDeleteRip to the dead
Hahahahahahaha...
ReplyDeleteAm so guilty of taking selfie but my own never reach like these people here...
There is time for everything biko..
Ok, some are just plain stupid, likw the gun and bridge selfies while some are ok like the 2 plane incidents. They would never have imagined would be their last may they rip. While the last illustration is damn right funny hahahaha (even took another on the way to the hospital). It is well.
ReplyDeleteAm not photogenic so I dnt bother myself wit pictures.
ReplyDeleteI disagree with you. You are photogenic
DeleteLol...the last ladies story cracked me up.... na God go save me #SelfieAddict
ReplyDeletemay God heal ds generation frm d spirit of dangerous selfies.what do they stand to gain or is it a criteria to enter guiness book of record for d 'most dangerous selfie'?.
ReplyDeleteI laff in vernacular for d last pic of d gals still taking selfies enroute to d hosp after an accident. that means they didnt learn their lesson
Nothing wrong in taking selfies
ReplyDeleteIt's not even about taking selfies
It's about taking selfies in SAFE places

D girl on d bridge n d guy on d train asked for trouble
Buh can't say d same thing for dat poor mom n son
Dere were just unlucky!
Very true.

Stella some of these selfies didn't cause d accidents so I dnt knw wwhy they were included eg the one of the mother and son on maylasia airline and d one of d pop singer in the jet crash. Are they the ones piloting the plane?
ReplyDeleteI was about asking the same question.It's not about taking selfies,it's taking them in SAFE zones! May their souls RIP.
DeleteExactly Nelly!! I didn't get the inclusion at all..as if it's their selfies that caused the accident...
DeleteHmmm... just speechless
ReplyDeleteHmmmm....na wa oo....may their souls RIP!!!
ReplyDeleteR.I.P to the dead. You know say some times people dey mumu.
ReplyDeleteHello Stella. I am a major fan of your blog from the sidelines albeit. Never comment but i found this particular post a little insensitive. Like for instance the passengers on board Malaysian Airlines flight, how on earth did theor taking that selfie cause their death and the pop star and her crew??????????????
ReplyDeleteAll the same kudos to you, i generally love your posts and your take on issues of the moment. Cheers. Vic
Vic is dat u?
DeleteGuys, these folks gave their lives for frivolities; they exchanged their lives for vain gain, for the pride of life which does not come from the father but from the world. These pleasures will pass away. That brings us to the big stock exchange question:
ReplyDeleteFor what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Matt. 8
And the next question is; WHERE ARE THEY? . . . HB
Aunty Stella na wa o i just take selfie inside plane from DFW to ATL finish say make I check latest gist come see this ur post, I don delete d selfie o make my mind rest jia in okirika pple voice
ReplyDeleteHhahahahahaahahahahah.....d fear of selfies my dear???
DeleteHahahahahahahahah
Hahahahaha
DeleteImbra, nda lor' ku?
Ignorant superstitious mofo
DeleteLolz..,why you dey fear now? D last pic got me laughing too,its obvious they dnt learn their lessons
DeleteAnon 3.26pm why now? Its just a joke...and a funny one at that.
DeleteHmmmm! Nawa ooo! May their soul rest in peace! I do try selfie sometimes but I've noted this advice.
ReplyDeleteI take one selfie at least daily! But not dangerous ones o. Just normal selfies! Hehehe I no too get liver abeg.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry Stells, the selfie craze will soon pass. The worst part of it is that the pictures don't even look good. RIP to them.
ReplyDeleteClick my name for all your celebration cakes and cupcakes, cheers
Lord have mercy......
ReplyDeleteWhy are air crash victims in this list? Na them crash the plane? Nowadays you can use electronics on board after take off so no one should even attribute their selfie taking to the plane crashes. As for the others that was just plain stupid and irresponsible may they rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteAsk Stella...
DeleteIt's insensitive to add them jor..
Nawa o. May God rest their souls.
ReplyDeleteThat's what happens whn pple make vanity the purpose of dr existence. That's how one girl fell 4rm her toilet stand while taking a selfie earlier dz year. Can som1 tell me wht kinda selfie some1 is taking standing on a toilet seat??
ReplyDelete#Misplaced priorities
*lips sealed and watching*
Was expecting to see that one among the list here, it was trending on instagram then.
DeleteToilet selfie???
DeleteHian!!!!
Hmmmmmmmm selfie death it shall be called I see some people taking selfie @ the main road good luck to them
ReplyDelete"Took another selfie en route hospital"? Cray!
ReplyDeleteHow were these selfies retrieved after those accidents especially the Malaysia airline selfish?
ReplyDeleteDat was how someone was taking selfie in a bath tub while having foam all over her body,in a bid to catch her phone whilee falling she missed her steps n hit her head on d bath tub n sustained serious injury on her head,she bled profusely n became unconscious buh God saved her life after 3days in d clinic,so some selfies r nt appropriate @all,as for d mother n son on a plane crash,I dnt think they fall under d category of selfies cos dey did nt cause d crash.
ReplyDeleteImagine taking a selfie on the way to the hospital after an accident.
ReplyDeleteHmmm *Praz
ReplyDelete#selfieolympic challange was wat triggered off these dangerous selfies, white folks took it up a notch and a lot of lives were lost. Stella check out their facebook group (selfie olympic), u would hardly believe the extent of risks people took to take dangerous selfies just to post on that sick group. After a horrible accident last year when a beautiful teenage girl promised the group a more daring selfie after she posted a shocking selfie of herself hanging on a bathroom door brushing her teeth, everyone was expectant of wat comes next but unfortunately she slipped off the door and hit her head on that toliet seat and died while trying to take a more daring selfie than the previous like she had promised. That incident put everyone on check and the page and term (selfieolympic) began to die a natural death.
ReplyDeleteEven Paul Walker took a selfie before he died..
ReplyDeleteThe two friends going on a bachelorette did not die cause of selfie. That was the last picture taken. Note that stella
ReplyDeleteKai patt you are daft walahi....
ReplyDeleteSelfie in d bathroom,,,hmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteSo how do i keep those special moments in memory?stella biko selfie stil rocs
