RIP...

Rip,please if you don't know how to swim,there is no need to form about it,make sure you adopt safety measures

Corpers are just dying like rate these days

Wow

Unblieveble, i think the Hotel management should be arrested if they fail to past beside the pool the deepness thereoff, Hotels shouldn't and don't have above 5fit deep pool, but if this one have more than that, it should be closed down..

My Thought are with the victim Family.

RIP

Bad news everyday! Smh

This is why I don't swim cuz I don't know how to swim ... RIP to the dead

RIP to the dead. I think this year records highest number of dead corpers

whatda fuuucck

why are corpers just dying anyhow, seems at least a corper dies every week.

I wouldn't forget my first experience in a pool, I went out with friends to swim in a hotel and when we were registering one of my friends asked me, can you swim? I stupidly answered, I started swim in my mother's womb thinking a pool is just like the normal stuffs we do then when we pour water into a very large bowl and sit inside, it was when I entered into the pool and my leg slipped that I understood the reality of life, I nearly died from choking that day.



Long story cut short, don't you ever go to a pool if you cannot swim and please don't drink before swimming




RIP to her and my condolences to her family.

Nigeria police can like to form "FBI" when it comes to 'obvious' cases, if its a real 'murder' case that requires forensic investigation they will become 'boyscouts'

Damn, sad news for the family.. Enugu state, what is happening, we are losing corpers alot

sun re o!

lesson: don't do what yu can't do.

What is really happening?why are coppers dying like this after all the struggling in school.May God deliver all the serving coppers IJN,Amen!

Chei...... I was planning to go swimming today oh...... RIP...

Your luck and hers may not be the same.
There's 2fit pool for those who can't swim,
There's 3fit Pool for those who are just learning,
There's 5fit pool for those who thinks they can/know how to swim,
There's then 10fit for the real swimmers.
And Please always go to the Pool with a Friend, (A very Good Friend)

This is serious. May God grant her soul an eternal rest & comfort the bereaved family.

RIP to her

What is really happening to corpers in Nigeria?


If you know you can't swim, why try to impress people who you know can swim better than you? This is the reason I don't attend any Beach party or poolside party. I can't swim and don't fell shy about it.

Cowards live longer than Brave people.

Was the victim forced to swim? If you don't know how to swim steer clear of swimming pool or ask people to teach you without pretending. I don't know how to swim so I don't have any business with a swimming pool.

What if the hotel management pasted a notice around the swimming pool warning prospective swimmers about their policy using their swimming pool? Cos ive seen lot of hotels with such policy at their poolside (I don't know if there's any legal backing regards to that)

I think hotels with swimming pools from 5ft and above should employ services of lifeguard

It takes approximately 2 -3 minutes to lose consciousness and 5-10 minutes to die... I wonder why she wasn't saved by fellow swimmers in the pool

I've seen and swimmed in Olympic size swimming pools even during my STCW training.. Water ain't a joking place anybody should toy with even you are professional swimmer.
