Nigerian comedian, Funnybone has challenged the belief that people who wrong others will eventually face the consequences of their actions, saying “karma is outdated.”
Funnybone, whose real name is Stanley Chibunna, made the remarks in a social media post in which he argued that wrongdoing does not necessarily prevent people from continuing to succeed in life.
According to the comedian, some people who act badly may outlive those they have wronged, while their actions may not necessarily attract punishment.
“Unpopular truth! Karma is outdated. Nothing will happen to the people who wronged you,” Funnybone wrote.
He added that being good was a personal choice and should not always be viewed as something that guarantees a reward.
“Being good is a choice, and it doesn’t always come with a reward. Choose a side and stick to it,” he said.
Funnybone also urged people not to allow the actions of those who have wronged them to disrupt their lives, noting that the world would continue regardless of personal grievances.
“The world won’t stop rotating because someone wronged you, and the person who wronged you won’t necessarily stop doing well because they wronged you,” he said.
He concluded by urging his followers to accept the reality and maintain their peace.
“Know this and know peace,” the comedian said.
His comments come amid recent social media discussions about karma among Nigerian celebrities.
Actress Tawa Ajisefinni recently shared a message expressing her belief that whatever a person puts out, whether good or bad, eventually comes back to them.
Singer Oxlade also previously warned an unnamed colleague about karma, accusing the person of damaging talents and hurting others while seeking personal healing.
Similarly, actor Yomi Fabiyi shared a message about karma following criticism directed at actress Toyin Abraham, saying actions have consequences.
Funnybone has also previously addressed relationship-related issues, advising women who are afraid of relationships and marriage not to allow other people’s experiences to shape their perception of men they have yet to meet.
