I expect the Gov to have made this pronouncement when the first boat misharp happened Must they wait for another tragedy before they knew old boats were been used and without life jacket Its rather too unfortunate that this executhieves polithiefcian only respond to issues that are of direct benefit to them at the expence of the masses life They respond quickly to issues on old and new PDP,GEJ signed pact of not contesting and its north's turn and GEJ shud not contest May God grant the lost souls an eternal rest and the families the fortitude to bear the loss What a Country! 2 Likes |

Every passenger who value their lives, shud ensure to have a live jacket. Water has no perfect swimmer, kramps cud hold u at anytime. |
Re: Governor Aliyu Bans Old Boats In Niger by Lakayanah: 4:41pm On Oct 06, 2013 |
I don't think banning the usage of boats is the solution. Water is God's gift to man and as Fela said "water e no get enemy" I think we are abusing the way it should be used. With proper life jackets good maintenance and no overcrowding of people and definitely no overloading with heavy farm produce. People cross from Britain to france daily without mishaps it's all proper management the white man is not a spirit. Let's put our house in proper order. 2 Likes |

Funny reaction to me! Another knee jerk reaction!! What is the definition of old boat in this context. I think a better response would have been to introduce/enforce compulsory issue of life jackets to all passengers and elimination of overload of the boats. I wonder why precious lives are wasted due to preventable causes. I do not think a life jacket will cost much more than 10,000 NGN on bulk purchase and give many years of service. Facilitating and/or subsidizing the availability of these to transport operators will go a long way to saving precious lives. 2 Likes |

Good step, the people should stop committing suicide by overloading themselves on weak boats, Death show no kindness or respect for ignorance. |

Nigerian leaders n their fire brigade myopic approach to solving problems. What alternatives have the government provided first to cushion the effect of the ban . People have been relying on boats for transport n commerce n u suddenly take it away without considering the hardship that will come as a result . Soon a taskforce will be form to monitor the boats , bribes will be exchange n the old boats will return back after the fury has die down . We seriously need far thinking leaders in this country 1 Like |
