I thought such sentences were reserved for premeditated murder? Yes, his greed and stupidity let to the death of these people, but did he take them to the sea to kill them? He wanted to make extra money and had an accident in the process. I see why he'd be jailed, I just didn't think that could fetch him such a sentence. Of course, I don't mean to undermine the sorrows of those that lost thier loved ones. I'm just trying to put logic before emotions. May the souls of the departed rest in peace and may their loved ones find ways to move on.

You are wrong, the judgement is fair. Something similar happened in Korea some years back. A ferry conveying more passengers than its capacity (mostly secondary school students) capsized and sank. The captain was able to escape and fled. He was eventually caught and got sentenced to life imprisonment. What made him get the conviction was

1. He knew the ferry had mechanical issues YET he packed passengers mostly teenagers beyond its capacity
2. He knew the ferry was sinking YET he instructed the students to remain in their cubicles, everything was under control. The few students that did not take to the instruction were the ones that survived.
3. He left a sinking ship with all of it's occupants still onboard. As a captain, you must be the very last person to leave a sinking ship after every other occupant have been evacuated. Most captains go down with a sinking ship, the ones that don't and get caught are sentenced to death or life imprisonment. It is a clause on the contract they signed.

You can read more of this on the Wikipedia article on the tragedy.

LASG is sending a message. Too many people are too casual about their business.

They really need to mete out the same to trailer owners and their drivers.

Too many dangerous businesses in Nigeria have no barrier to entry. I too can just get a canoe and start business. No life jacket, not training no nada.

Just vibes and God is in control

Two02:
The sentence is heavy
It shows that a captain us responsible for the lives of his crew.
So should our leaders should be accountable to the public
