I still can't believe why so many people in this country always like taking risks in the name of Entertainment what a beautiful nonsense
Even jur Pope a very young promising young man that is doing well how can he stoop so low to go into that river without a life Jacket well this is just a carelessness

90% of Nigerians DON'T KNOW how to swim

90% you said, that's too low. Like 98% of Nigerians can't survive a boat mishap by swimming cos they aren't good swimmers or or don't know how to at all.

Only Jesus can save anyway!!

chai common u don joke with everything, this is a tragedy that has reshaped the industry for a long time

Hmm what a heck ... Life drama 😢😢


I don't even know the guy , maybe it was because I don't like watching Nigeria movie ..

Nigerians like bragging about taking unnecessary risks.
As per Nollywood, I can admonish the industry to mandate insurance on all the stakeholders.
Yes, the insurance companies in Nigeria are unreliable but when event like this happen and the call-out is pouring in they will sit tight and government too will beam more searchlights on that sector

Something must kill a man

Justdogood:
The crazy thing is ...


As we are mourning and grieving for their death, someone or some people somewhere now in Nigeria are boarding rickety canoes and boats without life vests and safety equipments.

And they think or keep reminding themselves that its just not important or say na oyibo people them make the thing for.
Playing ludo with their lives.

So annoying and pathetic.

May the ALMIGHTY grant them eternal rest.

Honestly..so annoying and pathetic.

We, Nigerians know the right thing but we refused to do it for one reason or the other. things like this won't cease to happen in as much as we refused to learn.

Absolutely...why were they not on life jacket?

Ejiakusmith:
River Niger for Christ sake ... Swim from where to where 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 ..... And I believe you haven't swim in a pool all your life

When it matters to life, I believe any swimmer should go at least go 500-1km

You wrong buddy

If the sad incident had occurred in Lagos, you would have seen the obidence and their master on all media outfits wailing, blaming Sanwo Olu, Tinubu, Lagos and the Federal governments for the avoidable deaths. They would blame Lagos State Government for dereliction of duty in searching for the missing passengers.

silverlinen:
Damnnn

But i thought it was confirmed that Junior Pope is alive?

Op wetin you come dey talk again?

You see why I said only family members should announce the death of a person.
Nigerians were masturbating over the young mans life yesterday. Some had already thanked God some the river gods for saving him. The guy later kpai sha

obinna58:
All these popular people doesn’t know how to swim or what exactly?

Swim in such a large body of water , Dey play my fans!!!

Can you even swim 🏊‍♀️ twice the length of an Olympic swimming pool , make I hear say uno drown fast fast.

Not to talk of a river that has waves , currents and dangerous objects in it.

ozo13:
more than that ooo.and when u wanna talk about real swimming that could make one survive that kinda water body with no life jacket, may be na just 2 or 1 %

like lagoon

KingLennon:

Death is a must

Sound like a reasonable person and not a Daunce. Death is not a must for the young. Except you, yourself want to die Young. Ekpa

2tpick:


Yes we dont know how to swim

It’s a shame, in some villages kids can swim well but the so called civilized educated people can not do it

obinna58:

When it matters to life, I believe any swimmer should go at least go 500-1km

You obviously don't know what you are talking about, 1km in fast flowing waters?

Joy2dworldxyz:

90% you said, that's too low. Like 98% of Nigerians can't survive a boat mishap by swimming cos they aren't good swimmers or or don't know how to at all.

Only Jesus can save anyway!!

LagosFirstSon:
Young people just wasted like that

So painful

they played with their lives. How can educated people enter boat without life jacket,how? Rip to them all

ReacherSaidNoth:
You obviously don't know what you are talking about, 1km in fast flowing waters?

Flow with the current pattern, yes

…waking up a day and surviving in Nigeria is a great miracle. Our Governments do not care. How do u even explain that a government cannot enforce the compulsory use of a life vest for marine passengers? In sane societies, its a lifestyle to use a lifeguard onboard any marine vessel and there are marine police to make sure that violators are brought to book. Everyday, we wake up to avoidable tragedies involving loss of lives, when ordinarily, they would have been preventable. Africa and Nigeria needs another 200years to be able to do things right. Because people who does things the right way in this country are seen as mad people. Do a public survey, u would understand what i am saying. Rip to the lives that has been cut short in their prime, simply because they were born Nigerians. Pathetic!

I am not joking

I am just sharing my own opinion

The majority of black people worldwide cannot swim.

techub:
This obviously means that more than 24hrs after the accident, the government has not down anything

Because it's just an accident.
Happens everyday, this one isn't different

obinna58:

That's one of the areas among many others where the West is ahead of many Africans.
They learn swimming right from when they are children. Swimming is a skill which is supposed to be learned as early as possible.

Pepperdemisback:

He was revived. It is the tradition of most River side communities not to take away drowned persons. No First Aid there, they were asked to go and do sacrifice to the River Goddess. It seems they didn't allow him to be taken away to the hospital, that's why he died. They might not release the corpse, they are buried by the River side.

But I think this your submission is more important. Cos it’s cracking my brain that grown adults can divert an injured person from the hospital.

So even in rivers state or crossriver, that has some decent medical facilities, that’s what they will do? Pray to Udominyang instead of rushing the person to the hospital?

somebody needs to explain this thing in detail cos it’s really unbelievable.

Even for Nigerians to wear car seat belt for their own safety, Road Safety marshals will have to be chasing them up and down

I saw two of them live today for my area here I pray dey see Dem alive in Jesus mighty name

Nawa o nobody gbadu all these ones
They might as well be gala nylon😂😂

Didn't know other people were on the boat. Just a tragic event all around.
