I need someone to enlighten me on this, I can see a life jacket lying down there, there's also a life jacket around the body of one guy there, does it mean that they didnt work or what happened?

Find time some day and travel on boat in Nigeria..most of those jackets are either torn or there's no rope to tie it to d passenger's body..it's like sit belts in commercial buses

how do we no that this victims were being giving life jacket b4 they emback on that joney! how many people died and how many life jacket are we seeing on the grand over there? cus i hv traveld 4fm ph to bony 4 many ocations, we are six on boad, were i hv been denied of life jacket, the army & navil slogishly provide one for us! i now asck the captain question that wat about if enything happen to us now on this deep sea? he replied me that i shouls start to pray 4d joney. it's only when you are coming back 4fm bony that's when they make it mandatry foy to use the life jacket.

With people reasoning like you, Nigeria have a very long way to go. There are many things the state government and Rivers state ministry of transport could have done to prevent this accident.

First, all accidents are caused by someone. There is no accident that can not be prevented. You need to understand this point before discussing accidents and accident prevention. If you do not get this point then please dont bother reading further.

secondly, the Rivers state government should have set up minimum safety standards which boat operators are to adher to to prevent accidents. Those standards are no where to be seen.

Rivers state government is supposed to specify the type and size of floatation devices each person is to wear before boarding water craft. Those specification are no where to be found.

Rivers state government is supposed to licence each boat used for public transport and certify that they are sea worthy before being used, the certifification is also supposed to specify the number of persons and maximum weight the boat is allowed to carry. THis requirement is non existent.

Boat drivers are supposed to be certified to ensure that people lives are not entrusted into the hands of incompetent people. This is not being done.

lastly those who cause the death of others through these types of preventable accidents ought to be taken to court and jailed for manslaughter by the rivers state government as a deterrent to others, this is not being done.

In summary officials of the Rivers state ministry of transport are grossly incompetent to supervise the activity of water transportation in Rivers state hence we are seeing these types of preventable accidents.

if d accident had happened mayb sumwer else lik fakpa or any oda part of d ph-bny river, it would hav bin a diff story, buh @ peterside, anytin can hapen dude.
